Financial Careers: Trading Jobs
Trading jobs generally involve buying and selling stocks, bonds,
currencies, commodities, or some other financial instrument either to
facilitate customer needs or to take a proprietary position in order to
benefit from expected market movements.
The work can be stressful, challenging, and
exciting all at the same time and the rewards can be great for
successful individuals.
If this sounds like an appealing combination to you, read on to learn a
little bit more about the trading profession.
-----------------
Where the Jobs Are
Trading jobs are found at a variety of institutions including commercial
and investment banks, asset management firms, and hedge funds.
Government regulations evolving from the aftermath of the financial
crisis have change the landscape for trading jobs somewhat, but in
general traders at commercial and investment banks focus upon
providing liquidity for their clients and earning a profit via a bid/ask
spread.
Traders at asset management firms seek out the best price
when buying or selling securities for their client's portfolios. Finally,
traders at hedge funds are interested in taking proprietary positions in
order to benefit from expected market movements.
Note: Due to ongoing government
regulatory changes, the field of trading is in some flux. If you
are considering a career as a trader, you should pay careful attention to
news headlines depicting the continuing evolution of government
financial regulation.

Knowledge-based skills for traders
In-depth knowledge of financial instruments and
strategies: Hedge funds trade with client money in complex products
often designed as combinations of different products with different
strategies.
For example, options can be combined with equities as an investment
vehicle, or a complex version of barrier options may be prepared for
investing client's money.
If you lack of clear understanding of financial products and markets, you
will struggle in understanding the product combinations, dependencies,
and factors driving prices and performance.
A good candidate must understand various financial products including
options, futures, commodities, interest rates, and exotics.
-------------------
A good job candidate needs to be familiar with existing marketplace,
competitor developments, what the regulations allow, and what they
prohibit.
----------------
Quantitative expertise:
In a hedge fund, the research team comes up with an excellent trading
model involving a combination of futures and a few exotic options.
Unless the entire product team (including the research team members,
risk analysts, and traders) has the ability to understand and question the
underlying assumptions, assess the dependencies of mathematical
calculations, and perform a scenario analysis, the model will remain prone
to failures.
Expertise in number crunching, statistical analysis, quantitative models,
and calculation dependencies is a must for hedge fund associates,
irrespective of the role.
------------------
Understanding of risk:
Hedge funds are high-risk, high-return investment vehicles. However,
high risk does not mean taking unlimited risk with no control.
Rather, it means taking on a high risk with fair knowledge and being
prepared with alternate plans when risk levels cross a predetermined
threshold. Since hedge funds deal in complex strategies, risk analysis
becomes complex.
The job candidate needs to have good knowledge of risk assessment, not
just of individual financial products, but also on portfolios and
combinations.
------------------
In-depth knowledge of portfolio construction:
How is the sale of ice cream related to weather derivatives? How are
bond yields affected by currency valuations?
Such correlations play an important role in creating a diversified portfolio
of products, and a candidate should be adept in understanding and
quantifying the intricacies of a portfolio.
-----------------------
Communication skills:
Meeting high net worth clients in five-star settings requires social
etiquette as well as the ability to convince clients to entrust their money
with you.
Even if you are not applying to be part of the client-facing sales team, you
may occasionally have to face clients to explain complex product and how
they will generate returns on their capital.
Pitching in a complex idea to the team and getting a buy-in to get it
executed is equally necessary. Hedge funds look for excellent skills in
both internal and external communication in job applicants.
----------------
Team work:
Products and services from hedge funds are driven by dedicated teams,
who are intended to work towards a common goal. A candidate should be
a great team player, be willing to put team’s interest before self, be
committed to the desired goal, and be willing to contribute.
--------------------
Risk-taking ability:
Understanding risk quantitatively is not sufficient. A hedge fund analyst
should also have the emotional ability to tolerate risk.
Very few people (including trading professionals) have the courage to
invest in trading strategies which have a 50 percent loss potential for a
100 percent return.
Even if one is not in the trading division of a hedge fund, one needs to be
in sync with the product team to build consensus on such high-risk
trades. Showing proven success when facing risk makes an attractive
hedge fund job candidate.
------------------
Education:
Beyond the MBA, Ph.D. and statistics degree holders, hedge funds pick
candidates from variety of industries and experience levels. A graduate in
agriculture or meteorological studies may be a good fit if the hedge fund
company is dealing in agrocommodities.
-------------------

Day Trading Business - How To
Become A Day Trader..
Day trader—working comfortably at a home computer,
being your own boss, watching profits roll in? While many aspire, few actually
succeed. We will discuss steps to take to becoming a day trader.
------------------
A day trader actively buys and sells securities, often
multiple times during the day, but without carrying any open positions to the
next day. All buy/sell positions taken during a trading day are squared-off on
the same day before the market closes.
-----------------
Day traders are different from active traders who may hold
position for multiple days, or from investors who invest for longer periods. Day
traders also use leverage to increase their intraday trade exposure.
---------------------
Conduct an Honest Self Assessment: Successful day trading
requires a combination of knowledge, skills, and traits as well as a commitment
to a lifestyle. Are you adept with mathematical analysis, full of financial
knowledge, aware of behavioral psychology (in yourself as well as others), and
do you have the stomach for entrepreneurship?

next day. All buy/sell positions taken during a trading day are squared-off on
the same day before the market closes.
-----------------
Day traders are different from active traders who may hold
position for multiple days, or from investors who invest for longer periods. Day
traders also use leverage to increase their intraday trade exposure.
---------------------
Conduct an Honest Self Assessment: Successful day trading
requires a combination of knowledge, skills, and traits as well as a commitment
to a lifestyle. Are you adept with mathematical analysis, full of financial
knowledge, aware of behavioral psychology (in yourself as well as others), and
do you have the stomach for entrepreneurship?
Day trading actually requires: ◦ long working hours ◦ very little leave
from work ◦ continuous self-learning with no guidance =◦ risk-taking
abilities ◦ a never ending commitment to daily activities of the job
The right mindset is the most important (and the very first) requirement in
becoming a day trader.
Begin by conducting a self-assessment on the above mentioned points.
Unless one is prepared to devote time, self-learn and be mentally prepared
to take risks and suffer losses, do not try day trading.

The 33 Rules For Successful Trading By The Team Of
Knowledge Financial Group -
KNOWLEDGEFINANCIALGROUP.COM
DAY TRADING INFORMATION FOR TRADERS
1. } Arrange Sufficient Capital: No one can generate profits consistently. Intermittent and extended losses are
part of the day trading game.
2. } To handle these risks, a day trader must have a sufficient cushion of capital. Trade Your Way to Financial
Freedom, entering the trading world with only a small amount of money is a sure path to failure. Before quitting your job to
trade full .
---------------
3. Understand the Markets: Day traders need a solid foundation of knowledge about how the markets functions.
From simple details (like exchange trading hours and holidays) to complex details (like the impact of news events, margin
requirements, and allowed tradable instruments)
--------------
4. Understand the Securities to Trade: Stocks, futures, options, ETFs, and mutual funds all trade differently.
Without a clear understanding of a security’s characteristics and trading requirements, initiating a trading strategy can lead
to failure. For example, traders should know how margin requirements for futures, options, and commodities significantly
impact trading capital or how an interim assignment or exercise of an option position can shatter the trading plan completely.
--------------
5. Select or Design a Suitable Trading Strategy: Novice traders entering the world of trading can begin
by selecting at least two established trade strategies.
Both would act as backup of each other in case of failure or lack of trading opportunities. One can move on to more number
of strategies (with more complexities) later, as the experience builds up. (Read more in Day Trading Strategies for
Beginners)
The trading world is highly dynamic. Trading strategies can consistently make money for long periods, but then fail at any
time. One needs to keep a close eye on effectiveness of selected trading strategy, and adapt, customize, dump, or
substitute it depending upon the developments.
-----------------------
6. Integrate the Trading Strategy into the Larger Trading Plan: Selecting the right trading
strategies alone is not sufficient to succeed in the market. The following considerations need to complement the strategy, to
come up with the trading plan:
◦ How the strategy will be used (entry/exit strategy)
◦ How much capital will be used
◦ How much money per trade will be used
◦ Which assets will be traded
◦ How frequency to place trades
7. Understand and Practice Money Management: Let’s say you have $100,000 as trading capital and an
excellent trading strategy that offers a 70 percent success rate (7 trades out of 10 are profitable).
How much should you spend on your first trade? What if the first 3 trades are a failure? What if the average record (7
profitable trades out of 10) no longer holds?
Or, while trading futures (or options), how should you allocate your capital to margin money requirements? Money
management helps you address these challenges.
Effective money management can help you win even if there are only 4 profitable trades out of 10. Practice, plan, and
structure of the trades according to a money management and capital allocation plan.
-------------------
8. Brokerage Charges: Day trading usually involves frequent transactions, which result in high brokerage costs.
After thorough research, select the brokerage plan wisely.
If one intends to play with one-two trades per day, then a per trade basis brokerage plan would be appropriate.
If daily trading volume is high, go for staggered plans (the higher the volume, the lower the effective cost) or fixed plans
(unlimited trades for a fixed high charge)
Apart from trade execution, a broker also offers other trading utilities which includes trading platforms, integrated trading
solutions like option combinations, trading software, historical data, research tools, trading alerts, charting application with
technical indicators and several other features. Some features may be free while some may come at a cost which can eat
into your profits.
It is advisable to select the features depending upon your trading needs and avoid subscribing to ones which are not
needed. Novices should start with the low-cost basic brokerage package matching their initial trading needs, and later opt
for upgrades to other modules when needed.
-------------------
9. Simulate or Back Test on Historical Data: Once the plan is ready, simulate it on test account with
virtual money (most brokers offer such test accounts).
Alternatively, one can back test the strategy on historical data. For a realistic assessment, keep consideration for brokerage
costs and subscription fee for various utilities.
--------------------------
10. Start Small, Then Expand: Even if you have sufficient money and sufficient experience, don’t play big on the first
trades of a new strategy.
Try out a new strategy with with smaller amount and increase the stakes after tasting success. Remember, markets and
trading opportunities will remain forever, but money, once lost, may be difficult to re-accumulate. Start small, test to
establish, and then go for the big ones.

Rule No.11: Always Use a Trading Plan
A trading plan is a written set of rules that specifies a trader's entry, exit and money management criteria. Using a trading plan allows traders to do
this, although it is a time consuming endeavor.
With today's technology, it is easy to test a trading idea before risking real money. Backtesting, applying trading ideas to historical data, allows
traders to determine if a trading plan is viable, and also shows the expectancy of the plan's logic.
--------------
Rule No.12: Treat Trading Like a Business
In order to be successful, one must approach trading as a full- or part-time business - not as a hobby or a job. As a hobby, where no real
commitment to learning is made, trading can be very expensive. As a job it can be frustrating since there is no regular paycheck. Trading is a
business, and incurs expenses, losses, taxes, uncertainty, stress and risk. As a trader, you are essentially a small business owner, and must do
your research and strategize to maximize your business's potential.
Rule No.13: Use Technology to Your Advantage
Trading is a competitive business, and one can assume the person sitting on the other side of a trade is taking full advantage of technology.
Charting platforms allow traders an infinite variety of methods for viewing and analyzing the markets. Backtesting an idea on historical data prior to
risking any cash can save a trading account, not to mention stress and frustration. Getting market updates with smartphones allows us to monitor
trades virtually anywhere. Even technology that today we take for granted, like high-speed internet connections, can greatly increase trading
performance.
Using technology to your advantage, and keeping current with available technological advances, can be fun and rewarding in trading.
Rule No.14: Protect Your Trading Capital
Saving money to fund a trading account can take a long time and much effort. It can be even more difficult (or impossible) the next time around. It
is important to note that protecting your trading capital is not synonymous with not having any losing trades. All traders have losing trades; that is
part of business. Protecting capital entails not taking any unnecessary risks and doing everything you can to preserve your trading business. (See
Risk Management Techniques For Active Traders for more.)
Rule No.15: Become a Student of the Markets
Think of it as continuing education - traders need to remain focused on learning more each day. Since many concepts carry prerequisite
knowledge, it is important to remember that understanding the markets, and all of their intricacies, is an ongoing, lifelong process.
Hard research allows traders to learn the facts, like what the different economic reports mean. Focus and observation allow traders to gain
instinct and learn the nuances; this is what helps traders understand how those economic reports affect the market they are trading. (Read about
24 different economic reports in our Economic Indicators Tutorial.)
World politics, events, economies - even the weather - all have an impact on the markets. The market environment is dynamic. The more traders
understand the past and current markets, the better prepared they will be to face the future.
Rule No.16: Risk Only What You Can Afford to Lose
In rule No.4, I mentioned that funding a trading account can be a long process. Before a trader begins using real cash, it is imperative that all of
the money in the account be truly expendable. If it is not, the trader should keep saving until it is.
It should go without saying that the money in a trading account should not be allocated for the kid's college tuition or paying the mortgage. Traders
must never allow themselves to think they are simply "borrowing" money from these other important obligations. One must be prepared to lose all
the money allocated to a trading account.
Losing money is traumatic enough; it is even more so if it is capital that should have never been risked to begin with.
Rule No.17: Develop a Trading Methodology Based on Facts
Taking the time to develop a sound trading methodology is worth the effort. It may be tempting to believe in the "so easy it's like printing money"
trading scams that are prevalent on the internet. But facts, not emotions or hope, should be the inspiration behind developing a trading plan.
Traders who are not in a hurry to learn typically have an easier time sifting through all of the information available on the internet. Consider this: if
you were to start a new career, more than likely you would need to study at a college or university for at least a year or two before you were
qualified to even apply for a position in the new field. Expect that learning how to trade demands at least the same amount of time and factually
driven research and study. (Refer to Day Trading Strategies For Beginners for a primer on picking the right strategy.)
Rule No.18: Always Use a Stop Loss
A stop loss is a predetermined amount of risk that a trader is willing to accept with each
trade. The stop loss can be either a dollar amount or percentage, but either way it limits the trader's exposure during a trade. Using a stop loss
can take some of the emotion out of trading, since we know that we will only lose X amount on any given trade.
Ignoring a stop loss, even if it leads to a winning trade, is bad practice. Exiting with a stop loss, and thereby having
a losing trade, is still good trading if it falls within the trading plan's rules. While the preference is to exit all trades with a profit, it is not realistic.
Using a protective stop loss helps ensure that our losses and our risk are limited.
Rule No.19: Know When to Stop Trading
There are two reasons to stop trading: an ineffective trading plan, and an ineffective trader.
An ineffective trading plan shows much greater losses than anticipated in historical testing.
Markets may have changed, volatility within a certain trading instrument may have lessened, or the trading plan simply is not performing as well as
expected. One will benefit by remaining unemotional and businesslike. It might be time to reevaluate the trading plan and make a few changes, or
to start over with a new trading plan. An unsuccessful trading plan is a problem that needs to be solved. It is not necessarily the end of the trading
business.
An ineffective trader is one who is unable to follow his or her trading plan. External stressors, poor
habits and lack of physical activity can all contribute to this problem. A trader who is not in peak condition for trading should consider a break to
deal with any personal problems, be it health or stress or anything else that prohibits the trader from being effective. After any difficulties and
challenges have been dealt with, the trader can resume.
Rule No.20: Keep Trading in Perspective
It is important to stay focused on the big picture when trading. A losing trade should not surprise us - it is a part of trading. Likewise, a winning
trade is just one step along the path to profitable trading. It is the cumulative profits that make a difference. Once a trader accepts wins and losses
as part of the business, emotions will have less of an effect on trading performance. That is not to say that we cannot be excited about a
particularly fruitful trade, but we must keep in mind that a losing trade is not far off.
21. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of keeping trading in perspective. If a trader has a small trading account,
he or she should not expect to pull in huge returns. A 10% return on a $10,000 account is quite different than a 10% return on a $1,000,000 trading
account. Work with what you have, and remain sensible.
Understanding the importance of each or these trading rules, and how they work together, can help traders establish a
viable trading business.

24. Traders sometimes use trailing stops to automatically advance their stop-loss order to a
higher level as the market price rises higher. Trailing stops are easily set up on most trading platforms.
The trader simply specifies the number of pips, or dollars, that he or she wishes the stop order to trail behind the market high.
--------------
How does a stop-loss order work, and what price is used to trigger the order?
:
25. A stop-loss order, or stop order, is a type of advanced trade order that can be placed with most brokerage houses. The
order specifies that an investor wants to execute a trade for a given stock, but only if a specified price level is reached during trading.
This differs from a conventional market order, in which the investor simply specifies that he or she wishes to trade a given
number of shares of a stock at the current market-clearing price.

number of shares of a stock at the current market-clearing price.
26. Rather than watching the market five days a week to make sure the shares are sold if XYZ's price drops, you can
simply enter a stop-loss order to essentially monitor the price for you.
-----------------
27. Stop-loss orders can also be used to limit losses in short-sale positions. If you are short a given stock, you can
issue a stop-loss buy order at a specified price.
This order will be executed only if the stock's price rises high enough to reach the stop-loss price, triggering a buy order execution and closing out
your short position in the stock.
In these cases, the stop-loss order would be executed once the ask price level reaches the stop-loss price, since the ask price is the price at which
an investor is able to buy shares on the open market.
-------------
The only risk involved with using a stop-loss order is the potential risk of being stopped out of a trade that would have been
profitable, or more profitable, if the trader had been willing to accept a higher level of risk.
-----------------
What is the difference between a buy limit and a sell stop order?
27. A buy limit order is a specific type of buy order used to enter a market, while a sell-stop order is a sell order that can be used either
to initiate a short sell position or to close out an existing buy position.
A trader uses a buy-limit order to attempt to enter a market on the buy side at a specific price that he believes to be an advantageous entry point.
--------------------
28. Many investors will cancel their limit orders if the stock price falls below the limit price, because they placed them
solely to limit their loss when the price was dropping. Since they missed their chance to get out, they will then simply wait for the price to go back up
and may not wish to sell at that limit price at that point, because the stock may continue to rise.

--------------------
29. Benefits and Risks
Stop-loss and stop-limit orders can provide different types of protection for investors. Stop-loss orders can guarantee execution, but not price. And
price slippage frequently occurs upon execution. Most sell-stop orders are filled at a price below the strike price; the amount of difference
depends on how fast the price is dropping. An order may get filled for a considerably lower price if the price is plummeting quickly.
---------------
30. Stop-limit orders can guarantee a price limit, but the trade may not be executed. This can saddle the investor with a
substantial loss in a fast market, because the limit price may not get filled before the market price drops below that amount. If bad news comes out
about a company and the limit price.
-----------------
31. Choosing which type of order to use essentially boils down to deciding which type of risk is better to take. The first step
to using either type of order correctly is to carefully assess how the stock is trading. If the stock is volatile with substantial price movement, then a
stop-limit order may be more effective because of its price guarantee. If the trade doesn’t execute, then the investor may only have to wait a short
time for the price to rise again.

price slippage frequently occurs upon execution. Most sell-stop orders are filled at a price below the strike price; the amount of difference
depends on how fast the price is dropping. An order may get filled for a considerably lower price if the price is plummeting quickly.
---------------
30. Stop-limit orders can guarantee a price limit, but the trade may not be executed. This can saddle the investor with a
substantial loss in a fast market, because the limit price may not get filled before the market price drops below that amount. If bad news comes out
about a company and the limit price.
-----------------
31. Choosing which type of order to use essentially boils down to deciding which type of risk is better to take. The first step
to using either type of order correctly is to carefully assess how the stock is trading. If the stock is volatile with substantial price movement, then a
stop-limit order may be more effective because of its price guarantee. If the trade doesn’t execute, then the investor may only have to wait a short
time for the price to rise again.

Proprietary trading..
Proprietary trading (also
"prop trading") occurs when a
trader trades stocks, bonds,
currencies, commodities, their
derivatives, or other financial
instruments with the firm's
own money, as opposed to
depositors' money, so as to
make a profit for itself.

Algorithmic trading ...
Algo-trading provides
the following benefits:
Trades executed at the best possible
prices..
Instant and accurate trade order
placement (thereby high chances of
execution at desired levels)
Trades timed correctly and instantly,
to avoid significant price changes..
Reduced transaction costs (see the
implementation shortfall example
below)
Simultaneous automated checks on
multiple market conditions
Reduced risk of manual errors in
placing the trades
Backtest the algorithm, based on
available historical and real time data
Reduced possibility of mistakes by
human traders based on emotional
and psychological factors
The greatest portion of present day
algo-trading is high frequency
trading (HFT), which attempts to
capitalize on placing a large number
of orders at very fast speeds across
multiple markets and multiple
decision parameters, based on
pre-programmed instructions.

Algorithmic trading ...
Algo-trading is used in many forms of
trading and investment activities,
including:
Mid to long term
investors or buy side
firms (pension funds, mutual funds,
insurance companies) who purchase in
stocks in large quantities but do not
want to influence stocks prices with
discrete, large-volume investments.
Short term traders and
sell side participants
(market makers, speculators, and
arbitrageurs) benefit from automated
trade execution; in addition,
algo-trading aids in creating sufficient
liquidity for sellers in the market.
Systematic traders (trend
followers, pairs traders, hedge funds,
etc.) find it much more efficient to
program their trading rules and let the
program trade automatically.
Algorithmic trading provides a
more systematic approach to active
trading than methods based on a
human trader's intuition or instinct.
Algorithmic Trading
Strategies
Any strategy for algorithmic trading
requires an identified opportunity
which is profitable in terms of improved
earnings or cost reduction.
The following are common trading
strategies used in algo-trading:
Trend Following Strategies:
The most common algorithmic trading
strategies follow trends in moving
averages, channel breakouts, price
level movements and related technical
indicators.
These are the easiest and simplest
strategies to implement through
algorithmic trading because these
strategies do not involve making any
predictions or price forecasts.

Technical Requirements for Algorithmic Trading
Implementing the algorithm using a computer program is the last part, clubbed with
backtesting.
The challenge is to transform the identified strategy into an integrated
computerized process that has access to a trading account for placing orders. The
following are needed:
Computer programming knowledge to program the required
trading strategy, hired programmers or pre-made trading software
Network connectivity and access to trading platforms for placing the orders.
Access to market data feeds that will be monitored by the algorithm for
opportunities to place orders
The ability and infrastructure to backtest the system once built, before it goes live
on real markets
Available historical data for backtesting, depending upon the complexity of rules
implemented in algorithm

A "market maker"
is a firm that stands ready to buy and
sell a particular stock on a regular
and continuous basis at a publicly
quoted price.
You'll most often hear about market
makers in the context of the Nasdaq
or other "over the counter" (OTC)
markets.
Market makers that stand ready to
buy and sell stocks listed on an
exchange, such as the New York
Stock Exchange, are called "third
market makers."
Many OTC stocks have more than

What is high-frequency trading?
A: High frequency trading is an
automated trading platform used by
large investment banks, hedge
funds and institutional investors
which utilizes powerful computers
to transact a large number of
orders at extremely high speeds.
These high frequency trading
platforms allow traders to execute
millions of orders and scan multiple
markets and exchanges in a matter
of seconds, thus giving the
institutions that use the platforms a
huge advantage in the open market.
The systems use complex
algorithms to analyze the markets
and are able to spot emerging
trends in a fraction of a second.
By being able to recognize shifts in
the marketplace, the trading
systems send hundreds of baskets
of stocks out into the marketplace
at bid-ask spreads that are
advantageous to the traders.
By essentially anticipating and
beating the trends to the market
place, institutions that implement
high frequency trading can gain
favorable returns on trades they
make by essence of their bid-ask
spread, resulting in significant
profits.
High frequency trading became
common place in the markets
following the introduction of
incentives offered by exchanges
for institutions to add liquidity to
the markets.
