Hey everyone, I'm just curious if prop trading can lead to an hedge fund trading desk. I did research this and I had trouble finding a solid answer. Most people would either flame or promote prop trading. I'm curious because I would like to start trading. However, I have no experience and am curious if going the prop route would give me a leg up on my resume when I start to apply to places. Thanks for your responses, -Quix
stay on demo for 1-2 years and treat it seriously. when your confident in your strategy, take it live. get comfy, go to prop for more buying power
I started out with a small prop shop. I never aspired to be a hedge fund trader or money manager however. I can say that starting at a prop firm can lead you to becoming a self-funded independent trader, which is all I had ever hoped to be.
