Trading different assets.?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
Anybody can trade any instrument, and at any time after reaching the age of majority. No actual skills or credentials are "required". Experience is the key ingredient to trading them.

If you're looking to help other people invest, there is a lot of competition for that field, and you hold full responsibility for losses that you cause using other peoples' cash. There is broker insurance, however, it doesn't cover big losses, and you can be de-licensed if you can't perform.

The irony behind investing for others is, if you can actually invest successfully, you probably wouldn't be investing for others. That's why most investment brokers are older people who have done all sorts of investments in the past, and have experience.

Investment isn't a joke. You actually have to deal with money. At other jobs, you could lack actual practical experience, and get around with learning how to do things, but in investment, that's not the case.

Being an analyst is an entirely different field, which I suppose you could take courses and programs for, to be licensed. But that field doesn't allow you to invest for others.

I'm earning good money with this binary option signal sofrware ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) What I'm going to show you now might irritate old-fashioned traders who can't accept that a piece of software can outperform what they have learned through many years of trial and error

you need to start reading up on global economic markets and indicators, before starting to talk about trading assets. get a recent book on forex or metal commodities now, and start reading

Informative, cheers.

Just a quick question, if someone were to aim to become a trader of a specific asset how would they go about doing this, would they decide what they want to trade whilst working their way up through the ranks whilst being a junior analyst and make their mind up or would you have to go to uni and specify what you want to trade in the future i.e.. FX, stocks, futures etc.. and hope you get hired?

Thanks
