Not So Newbie Anymore

I've been working for 20 days already! Which means, I've completed a month.

I'm not so new anymore, and I couldn't use 'I'm new' as an excuse anymore.

Now I can only say 'I'm a bit new'.

It has been an exciting week for me.

I had my first major boo-boo and my first ever booked trade.

Boo-boo:Instead of buying 200,000 of shares, I sold it! After a few seconds, I called the trader back in hopes of cancelling the trade. But, it was too late. The only remedy was to put an order to buy back the same number of shares at the same price (to offset). However, the stock price for that particular equity picked up, so we were able to buy it back at .0013 higher. Seems little, but that .00 something meant a bank loss of AUD260. And, the loss was considered minimal, only because it was a small trade. Imagine if it were millions of shares. Gulp!

First trade: I called a client to explain about a product (though he's already familiar with it). Then, he booked USD100k! It felt sooo good! And I was so happy! It really was a different feeling.

All in all, it was a good week. I think I've finally received s0me kind of acceptance from my colleagues. I think they see me as someone with potential, because this week, I felt I was part of the team.

I hope I will learn faster, I can't wait!
