Options Trading Interview Questions

Options trading interviews focus on derivatives intuition, probability and mental math - how you price, quote and hedge under time pressure.

Expect a blend of quick mental math, probability and expected-value problems, and options and market-making intuition - pricing, quoting, and hedging. Programming questions appear for quant and engineering tracks.

For trading roles, the assessment commonly combines a fast mental-math and sequences test with a coding exercise and a probability-based betting game, before market-making games in later rounds and a final assessment day.
