Smallest "fund" is 17MM Largest "fund" is 200MM+ You are correct, the bigger the amount of assents under management, the lower the leverage (gearing) used. Once they get big, they just want to maintain and make small stable gains. Unfortunately, due to the lack of regulatory involvement...

I am a junior trader at a managed forex "fund." Generally, the leverage chosen by the firm ranges from 6:1 - 30:1. You can expect the top managers to average around 1-3% per month on the total BP allocated. So, this basically means that on a 10:1 leverage, and a 1.5% return in a month = a 15%...

You are not to old to join a prop shop, but I would not join an equity scalping shop... that is generally where the younger traders succeed. Look for a place that has good, solid training and don't be picky about what products they trade. All in all, I say go for it and accept the possible...
