BEST JOBS

So... Which Jobs Are The Best Trading Jobs?

Like many things in life, it really depends on what you are looking for. For some traders, fund size is most important. For some it is free time or benefits. For some, it is work environment and location. For some it is the ability to trade his/her own strategy without having amanager look over his/her shoulder. For some it is the stress level or job security. For almost everyone, pay is a big factor. And for some, it is a combination of all of these things.

With so many factors in play, we attempt to break them all down into separate components, explaining each in detail, and giving examples of each version. We ultimately give you a roadmap for navigating the issues involved in trading for a living so that you can make the best possible decisions for yourself.

What This Website Will Not Do For You

This website will not teach you how to trade. This website assumes that you have been trading for years and are familiar with all of the instruments you trade including stocks, options, futures, forex, and crypto. It also assumes that you have an understanding of technical analysis and indicators. If not, the web is full of resources to teach you about trading, and you should come back once you have learned these things, applied them to your own account, and developed a trading strategy that is successful and reliable in your hands.
