Occasionally, the tutor may also be asked to give a presentation or lecture to other partners and employees of the firm.

Firm: Town Square Trading is a successful and growing electronic trading firm with focus on market micro-structure and market players’ behavior. Our office is located in One World Trade Center. Our team is a small, dedicated and intellectual group of analysts, programmers and traders.

Compensation: We will provide an extremely high compensation for your time. The compensation will also depend on your credentials and effectiveness of the tutorials.
