Hi,
I am 21 years old and graduated as an engineer in 2011. I have been working with an IT firm ever since. Due to my ever growing interest in the financial markets and the realization that I am not cut out to work in the IT sector, I decided to explore the idea of working as a derivatives trader. I have been self-educating myself in the field of technical analysis through books, visual tutorials etc. Currently I am reading "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John J Murphy. I made my resume regarding the same, but it drew a poor response, I think primarily because of lack of any job experience as a trader or any certifications. Desperately seeking advice on:
  • How valuable are CTA levels I and II in terms of pushing my resume forward? I thought of writing the exam for it, but the only hindrance was the heavy enrollment fee, which would take all of my savings so far and then some. But I do not mind that as long it helps me get the desired job.
  • The only firm i know which hires freshers as traders and then trains them is Futures First Info Services. But unfortunately the word on the street is that they are not hiring off-campus as of now. Are there any other firms that hire freshers and trains them?
  • Are jobs like http://iifmfx.firefish.in/ any good? Is it a good idea to give up my current job and get into something like this?
Any advice, suggestions, information is welcome.
Thanks.

if you love trading , don't make it a job. Trade for yourself and quit IT.

Be your own boss. <--- Ultimate success in life..

But trading for living is not easy..it will take years of practice and experience.

Are you up for it?

and yes don't quit your day job just yet...

“What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve” ~ Napoleon Hill ----- If you haven’t read Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich Book, I suggest you do so in the near future, it will likely have transformative effects on your trading and your personal life.
