Trader K - this is something I asked about a while ago now. I'd be really interested to hear how you get along. Am considering moving into full time prop, background is in investment management and based in Birmingham. Amazed that there's nothing out there already. All the best. Adam

I'm not so sure.....he was last quoted in Sep this year, apparently from his desk at Marex...? So if he has blown up it was recently.... Uncomfortable brush with reality for market's 'geezers' | News

Ahhh i see!! Apologies. I haven't gone through the fixed income paper i'm afraid, but i'd hazard a guess that if you have the time to spare (would your employers allow you study-time?) then you should be able to cram it in. In terms of whether it's worth it then i'd say absolutely. Even if you...

Hi Rupali, The SII Diploma's normally take around 18 months i'm afraid. Perhaps you could squeeze it in a year, but given you're starting "from scratch" i think 3.5 months is very unlikely. If you're funding it yourself then it's gonna cost you hard-earnt money to fail. Hope this helps, Ad...

Polyphonic, I think your attitude is spot on mate. Ignore the miserable, elitist old ****es that tell you your degree is useless and you're sponging off tax payers. Maybe your degree isn't directly applicable to trading (perhaps Physics or even Psychology is more fitting) but you can bet your...

Wow.....now i look so silly it's made me cringe! Lol...... I doubt that kind of volume will be possible for a while yet. Arb, would you mind if i asked you a couple of questions? If you've got a few mins to spare (which you probably haven't!) drop me an email! Only menial stuff like how you got...

When you say "lots".......?

Hi Arb, Yea i did check out the directory and had a look around (wouldn't want to be accused of not checking before i post! That seems to be the most heinous crime on here! lol).... Anyway thanks for your response. Do you think any of the larger companies would seriously consider it? It seems...

Hi guys, There appears to very little (read no!) info on any arcades, or trading operations in Birmingham, which leads me to believe there are none. (Does anyone else find that surprising? Being the 2nd city and all)..... I'm currently in the process of movinginto full-time trading and i'm...

Cheers our kid!! Lol... Unfortunately i'm not originally from Dudley, what a culture shock that was...!! ;) Thanks for your kind words fella's, i'll definitely be sticking around the boards and hope i can contribute in some way. Will keep you posted on my succeses & failures, and i for one...

My apologies guys, i've pulled my finger out and found extensive threads that cover this subject..... Adam

Good afternoon guys & gals.... I've managed to raise a good amount of capital and am intending to give full-time trading a go. I've paper traded Index/Equity derivatives for a couple of years now and seen good enough results to warrant me considering it a viable career. I'm just wondering what...
