Currently I have two positions that have been offered to me. The first one is a prop trading position at a firm called M&N Trading (has anyone heard of them?) Basically, 75% of their trades are the ZF and ZN. They have a draw of $30,000. The payout is 60/40 (60% to the trader). The second position is a broker position at a futures/commodities brokerage firm called Strikepoint Trading. I am a recent graduate and feel that both would be great learning experiences. I feel that the prop trading position may be more advanced for the skill sets that I currently possess. I was thinking that I should take the broker position to learn more about the futures industry and maybe reenter the prop trading in the future. Would this be a good idea? Any input would really help. Thank you.
You probably don't want to be a broker (salesman) if you like trading. You have a much bigger upside trading than selling. Brokers will soon be a thing of the past. Good luck in whatever you decide! Don
