  1. This is going to be a dumb question. What kind of job do you want to apply to, at what level? If it is not trading, what industry?

  2. Thanks, I made some changes. What did you end up doing after trading?

  3. Yep, daytrading is a resume killer. Recruiters definitely want to see career progress and daytrading doesn't always show that very well on paper.

  4. Not sure exactly what I want to do. i think get into some type of risk management in the markets. Maybe analyst type work as well.
