    How on earth did you get into this trading lark ?

    Got a job working as a trainee equities trader at a brokerage firm, then after 18 months started to trade for myself and left the firm. Now been doing this for 18 months and looking to move back to a firm as a proprietary trader. Perhaps with Saxon Financials or another such firm. Charlie
