Hi all,
It would be interesting to see through an anonymous poll what is the distribution of amounts traded by us, retail traders.
i personally beleive that a large majority trades with small amounts and therefore the temptation is high to use excessive leverage (I also consider excessive leverage to be extremely detrimental to one's account as it gets you emotionally involved in a trade and cannot obey strict MM rules).
But what I am interested in is this:
- how can you get a jobin the FX industry as a trader/ analyst as there are very few jobs in FX for retail traders,
it seems banks are not doing this kind of staff, hedge funds want statisticians, programmers, etc. If also you are not living in London, NY or Tokyo the slim chances get even slimmer.
so what can one do to have a job as a trader/ analyst, it seems to me we are only being shown the far away bright lights of a city that is unreachable.
i am very interested in your feedback, thanks a lot!
