Thats it mate, im from a similar mould and can relate to your position, and without going into too much detail im now very comfortable indeed. GET THE PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND IF YOU CANT GET INTO THE CITY YET WORK IN SALES WHILE STUDYIN FOR THEM. You're not going to get anywhere unless...

Good luck mate and keep trying, try to find out about board boy/assistant trader jobs and take it from there! Ignore all the bulls*** some people are sayin, if u wana do something bad enough there is always a way.

I wonder how much you actually know about how investment banks recruit and what they look for........ Sure a top degree would look very good when going for a job but you need to have a personality and balls to be a real success. Analysts... sure go and get a top degree and help other people...

''People without degrees are there to clean my toilet'' I came accross this post and am amazed at what I am hearing from NQR so had to post a reply..... It amazes me that someone would have such a snobbish and arrogant attitude. :eek: I've been in the city for years and I know plenty of...

Hi, I am curious if anyone knows if trading arcades need authorization from the FSA? As they are not giving advice or influencing individuals investment decisions, is it necessary to seek authorization? Cheers, RagingBull

Zed, Like I say CMC have a practice account, as do Capital Spreads. Have a look around and try as many accounts as you can so you both get practice and find out how successful you may be and also try out different providers. There is quite a bit of info for beginners on this site...

Thats the one DT, nice one. I used 7 City for my other certs aswell... cant believe I didn't check their website! Cheers, Raging Bull

Hey Grant, Thanks alot for the sound advice, I will look into it. Wow the FBI get involved in the registration over there, I spose they watched rouge trader and took it to heart :lol: Cheers, Raging Bull

Hi Grant, I understand what you are and arn't allowed to do while you are working in the UK, but is it possible to get a job in america based on the fact you have passed your Sii Cert's or do you need to sit the Series 7/3 to work out there? I can't seem to find any information anywhere on the...

Hi Zed, It all depends on what you are looking to trade? I think the best thing if you are new to the markets would be to start out spread betting. I would recommend CMC Markets, they hold regular free seminars for people like yourself explaining about their products and how the markets work. I...

Does anyone know if it is possible to passport your FSA registration (Sii Certificates) into the US?

I worked in a call center when I was at college. I was one of only 3 guys (one way gay and the other was 36 and from asia!) Its fair to say that I hated the job but loved the girls! There where about 12 that where deff worth one but the rest where old moaners! Id say that call center girls are...

What isn't exciting about watching the markets move and deciding when to take a profit/cut a loss? Gamblers generally gamble because they want to make money, not throw it away. How many gamblers do you know who enjoy throwing away their money? It odiously wouldn't target gamblers purely, and...

DT, I havn't given the idea that much thought to be honest. As far as the regulations i would imagine that clients would have to set up an account (as they do with brokers) and checks would need to be done of course. You would need to work out risk cap, suitability, credit check and the rest...
