Akuna Interview Prep
How to prepare for Akuna Capital interviews with mental math, options intuition, probability, and market making practice.
Candidates preparing for Akuna trading, quant, or internship interviews.
What to expect
Akuna preparation should include fast arithmetic, probability, options intuition, and market making. For options roles, be ready to explain risk in plain language rather than hiding behind formulas.
Concrete example
If spot moves up, a call option generally gains value and its delta changes. A practical interview answer connects that movement to hedging and quote risk, not only to a memorized Greek.
How to practice
Drill mental math and probability, then apply both inside trading decisions. Add options basics: payoff diagrams, volatility, delta, gamma, vega, and why market makers care about each.
Options intuition layer
If an options question appears, start with payoff shape and directional exposure before naming Greeks. Plain-language intuition usually makes the formula discussion clearer.
Common mistakes
Candidates memorize option definitions without being able to use them. Another mistake is treating mental math as separate from trading. The arithmetic should support the quote.
