Rock and hard place

[Higgins2]

I'm new to this forum but was hoping to get some thoughts on my current dilema.
i've been trading for over 5 years and most recently have been trading a high frequency cash equity strategy at small shop in London. the problem is that even though i have made 25% on my 25m book i can't get my book size increased and i'm also getting screwed on my bonus. ive interviewed at a few hedgefunds in london but they either don'thave the technolgy or they don't have the capital for me to be able to hold positions over night.
it's been suggested that i speak to banks but given the situaiton with bonuses is that a safe route at this time?

why not trade for yourself if you know what you're doing ?

Trade for yourself bud.

wishshful thinking at this stage. don't have anywhere enough enough capital to trade, especially once i take out all the costs it wouldn't be worth it. mortgage, kids ... if i were 10 years younger maybe!
