What is the graduate starting salary in the city these days? around 50,000 dollars i would think.
At a decent IB about that in sterling, before bonuses.

I didn't know that Brits measured their salaries in American dollars.
Hi,
Would appreciate some thoughts on my life:
Just turned 24 years old, work in London, square mile, earn $80k/year - So what do I do after 11:30am? My intention was to work behind a local bar, helping to pay for living costs and simultaneously placing myself in a more social setting.
Go for it - although id also like to know why you already have a plan regarding trading from the order book alone.
Have you already demo traded such a method and it has been working well for you or somthing?
Is it because you figure that 90% of retail traders lose and 90% of them trade from charts?
What's the deal.
Do it. Good luck
Fookin 'ell, with that verse you must be Morrissey..Yeah give it up lad
I'd advise working on your money management.
If you need to work in a bar to help pay for living costs after being on an $80k a year salary....
Also, you are saying that if you can't cut it as a scalper you are going to give up on the dream without trying any other means of trading?
Well unless you did a masters or took a gap year you normaly start work at 21.

its changed a lot the past few years. This year RBS were offering £60k base for first year grads before bonuses and before sign on bonus and most tier 1 IBs are paying this or around 50. Broadly, your getting a higher base. also you'll find people are starting far later, masters is becoming standard esp. if you did a 3yr degree.

I'm currently thinking trading myself .....
You and me both........... kind of confused!
I'm currently thinking trading myself but too pay off my uni loans. My current job isn't exactly as fruitful as I would like, definitely not anywhere near $80K, but I'm not sure about trading. I'm currently in the UK and because of the tax-free incentive I'm considering Spread betting. But there's lots of brokers out there, For instance I looked at IG index & they offer alot but ETX Capital seems like the type of company to hold my hand all the way through...hmmm kind of confused!
An IB for ETX would be my first guess.What are you selling.

$80K USD a year before tax in london isnt a lot unless he is still living at home with his mum
If you want to be exact, yes. But most people are nearer 19 than 18 when they start, I was also accounting for a sandwich course which is 4 years.
19-20 = year 1
20-21 = year 2
21-22 = year 3, leave
22-23 - sandwich leave ( I left uni at 23)
And walk straight into a job paying 80K
