You can start by getting in as a trading assistant on Buy side or equity analyst on sell side...sounds like you want to be a 'position trader' and not a regular trader. Regular traders fill orders and do not trade for firms just so you know and they useally bench themselves to VWAP Volume Weighted Average Prices. Trading does not make as much money as Research just so you know...at least on the buy side. |

So regular traders are all operations and no analysis? Whereas equity research is all analysis, and no operations? So is position trading a combination of both? I believe that I have a successful model, and I want to apply that to more capital than I currently am willing to put up of my own. Would being a position trader, or assisting a position trader allow me to do that. Or am I just imagining a possibility that does not exist?
