I’ve had a few requests to provide a rough guide on how to get started in a trading career, be it in FX, equities or futures. I’m not sure how much help I can be, but if you’d like to receive an email on where I think the industry is headed and how to possibly get started, then just pop a comment in and I’ll try and send out a blanket email next week. What I will say is that institutions are generally after young people, who they can mould and train (sorry to be age-ist!)
