This book follows Enzo, a fresh graduate with sharp instincts and big ambitions, as he enters one of the most prestigious trading floors in Paris. From the fundamentals of derivatives to live missions on the desk, you will discover how elite professionals are trained, how they think, and how they operate when the pressure is ON.

This is not just a finance book. It is a training ground, a career guide and a real-world story you will not put down.*
