    Becoming an Independant broker while at the same time remain an independant trader

    Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking was the independant route like raymond james and what not. I don't need a salary because I am doing pretty good in the market for a while now but don't have a 3 year track record yet. So the CTA hedge fund route is not something I could do now. Plus it is...

    career as a trader over before it began?

    You can still trade and work a day job, there are other markets besides the US equity market. You can swing trade stocks if you want. How about the Hang Seng? It opens at 9:30 ET, I traded that little beast for a little while. Much too volatile for me, but a few guys on the board seem to like...
