Broker titles please

[Lince MMM]

Hello guys i'm Lince and im brand spankers in the city. I have a job lined up that consists of the brokerage side of things. I have read alot of titles such as 'Guide to the financial markets' by the Economist and 'Trading for dummies' amongst others, but I am having difficulties finding any publications on Broking.

Can any of you finance Jedis point me in the right direction of some titles worth reading??

Many thanks

what market are you going to be in?

Working in the money market, a voice broker, they use derivatives, fras, swaps, currency deposits, rate swaps etc.
I know the basics of each but i guess the only way to learn how it all works is to go to work with them. Any tips for that market? In fact any tips in general?

As far as books about being a broker are concerned this one is recommended a lot:

Amazon.co.uk: The Broker's Edge: How to Sell Securities in Any Market (Prentice-Hall Career & Personal Development): Steven R. Drozdeck, Karl F. Gretz: Books

It is more aimed at retail/private client stock brokers but you'll probably still find a fair bit of stuff thats useful to you.

Edit - I should add - the useful information for you in the above title is more to do with selling and the way you approach clients etc...

For financial knowledge - Hull and Wilmott are fairly popular.
