I am doing ok, but where is the up side?

Ummm, raise some money and find a way to front-run what your current firm is doing.

Too risky? Sounds like you have a decent deal right where you are now.

How much do you get paid? This will help answer your question.

 

ehmm, u got nothing. i mean u do got something in terms of some industry connections and stuff. but.. in terms of trading u got nothing. you dont know how to trade profitably either manually or automatically, correct? so you cant be a successful trader or run a successful hedge fund now.

 

don't be lazy, crack open that c++ book and get going!
