Hello everyone, I am thinking of applying to all options and would like to know their testing procedure. I have heard that they have a basic math test followed by an analytical and simulation test. While I have some idea about the math test, I do not have any idea about the analytical and...

Can I know the number of questions in each test? If anyone has any material to prepare from, can you please send it to me? :) Mathematical Test: anybody has any idea about it? Where to prepare for it etc... My sincerest thanks in advance. :D

They will provide you with OMR type answer sheets on which you are not supposed to write. Rough paper will be provided but you will not be able use it as the time will be too short for the first and the third test. You might need it for the sequences test though. Carry your own pen as the...

Yup, as are all the other tests. :)

3rd test will be pretty easy and similar to the first test. 4/x = x/64 find x etc. 40 questions in 10 mins attempt atleast 30-35 with 99% accuracy and you are through.

I would also like to know about the energy trade cycle. It will be helpful if someone can shed some light on this subject. :)

Well I am not talking about the price of the options. I am talking about what market makers do with the price. Say if the price of the option is $5.15,, what would be the bid ask spread and how have the market makers decided on the spread..

Now say there is only one market maker(he/she is the only one we can trade with) for this particular stock and he/she is buying at 48 and selling at 52, how would one make a profit in the 5 situations described in the problem? Is it possible to make a profit in all the situations or is it...

So say the next tick below 52 is 51 so one has to sell it for 51 netting a profit of 51-46 or 51-48 or 51-50 and buy it for say 49 netting a profit of 52-49 and 54-49... That sounds about right. Wanted to know what exactly one has gotta do in such situations. mb325: I used the fair value as...

Can't the stock be overpriced or underpriced?

It is just a hypothetical situation.. If say I think that the fair value of the stock is 46 and the bid/ask is 48/52 then ..then I should short sell the stock for 48 $ right? Also I can't figure out what would be the situations in the other cases say if the stock price is 50 etc..

Assume no commision.. and the prices are in dollars.
