Hi allI urgently need some help concerning how to I find any book, website or any advice on brokerage and also how to read the Reuters screen. I will soon start working in a famous broker house in London. I don't know yet which product I will be dealing with but possible credit default swaps. I have understood that I will not have any proper training program so I will have to learn everything by observing other experience broker. I am bit worry since I don't have any experience in the field at all. I came from a mathematics background and I have recently finished a master in finance. I do appreciate any given information.Thank-you

The vendor of the systems that your employer uses will train you and supply user manuals as you require. Ask your colleagues who to call to arrange an orientation.
