Hello,
New to T2w, thought I would say hello as that would be the polite thing to do, well according to the site.

Hi all,
My name is Paolo, I am new active user though I have been reading this forum for a while. I am interested in knowing what are the most useful skills or courses an HR would look at when hiring junior traders or for graduate trading recruitments.
I have been trying to get into trading and despite having worked in finance for 5 years, speaking 3 languages, have an MBA and I manage 15 people, I dont seem to have what it takes to be noticed by any HR person. I am only 29ys only, am I alreadsy too old to be a career changer?
If I study computational finance or engineering, will it be helpful to become a trader?
BTW - I already trade based on technical inidcators after one of those non-fully recognized courses that promise to teach you everything possible to be successful.
Thanks all!
Paolo
Hello Paolo, I can relate to your story, I can tell you that it isn't too late. Your educational back ground isn't much of a determinant in trading. Having said that I joined a hedge fund at 23 straight outa medical school and 6 years later I manage an amount that cannot be earned from medical practice. Make today your first day in trading at a pro level by looking for very junior position and if you are good enough, you will be sailing high....no CV is needed, just a solid system and a few demo accounts
Nice thoughts Dameon
Dameon - that's encouraging, finally! Would you be able to recommend a demo account that runs well with no expiration date, charts included?
