next step for my career?

[sam_w]

hi

ive recently left ym job at a prop shop due to family reasons and now that its all sorted out i'm at a cross roads on what to do now in terms of work. I worked as a futures trader and have got one years experience in the field. Im also a maths graduate but onyl got a 2.2 in that. Would ideally like to stay on in trading but considering the current job market im not sure if its going to be possible. Does anyone have any advice on what my next step should be and where to go from here?

Trade from home.
I've done that for a living for the last ten years.

would love to trade from home but dont have the capital required to do it.

 

[Mr. Charts]

What sort of futures did you trade?

 

[sam_w]

euribor and short sterling

i do equity trading at home but its not in really big size

 

[Mr. Charts]

OK
I day trade US shares, but used to trade eminis.
No easy answer except try and save up enough capital to trade, which is pretty obvious.
Hope things go well for you.

Hi there Sam,
I might be in a similar position as you, 2.2 degree from LSE, but how did you get the job in the first place at the prop shop if you dont mind me asking.
