There’s a room
under this.
The letter is the top of the funnel. Underneath it there’s a smaller, quieter thing: rooms full of people who take this stuff seriously. It starts in Sydney, with fifteen chairs and no lanyards.
The dinners
Invite-only, fifteen seats. Traders, platform people, market-makers, researchers, the odd civilian with a good record on the Floor. No panels, no content, nothing gets clipped for social.
Seats fill by record, not by title — though we’re not pretending the titles hurt.
DATE TBA
Last Trader Standing
Survive the season
Once the book has history: seasonal survivor pools built on the weekly Floor votes. Answer every week, survive every week. One wrong call and you’re out — exactly as it should be.
A chair, not a coupon
The last one standing takes a seat at the next dinner — same table as the traders and platform people, earned with a public record rather than a job title.
Season 01 begins when the book has history. Every vote you cast in the Sunday letter between now and then is practice — and it’s already going on the Board.
Who gets in
People who make calls
And stand behind them. A good record on the Floor counts more than a good job title.
People who work the plumbing
Exchange people, market-makers, researchers, builders — the ones who know why the price is what it is.
People who can disagree well
The table runs on the same rule as the letter: argue the other side properly or don’t bother. Chatham House, always.
