Who's your broker may I ask? MT4's android app is bad for trading.

Surface 3/4 looks great but kinda out of budget right now! May upgrade in the future if I can. Thanks and cheers!

Hi guys! As per the title. How is it like trading from a windows tablet and any drawbacks doing so? I plan to get a basic windows tablet to trade from so I can do so on the go with my full time job. Internet wise I will probably be tethering most of the time/Wifi from perhaps starbucks or...

Thank you so much for your time and info wrbtrader. The info you have given me is probably more than what I've tried searching on the net haha The company I intend to work for is also listed under 'the technical analyst' and they have won awards for a couple of years. What I hope is that there...

Not gonna be tactful but who cares if you get respect with CFA but it doesn't earn you money as compared to TA which gains little respect but makes you money. Everybody trades differently and whatever works for each individual. I don't believe condemning any method. If a particular method...

Reason being I went the institution route is because it is probably the 2nd best option I have apart from being a trader at an institution. (which is not easy to land) I definitely have plans to be a full time trader but currently my capital is insufficient to provide a substantial return to...

Not advocating this but you don't need to buy the book to know the content or read it.

Hey Frederick Foresight, Thanks for the link and even though I've seen them before, they never fail to teach me/sink in deeper with me every time I read it. Cheers and good trading to you!

Much gratitude for all the feedback guys..both negative and positive and I believe both gives us things to think about. Nevertheless, fundamental/technical/throwing darts at a board/chart..whatever it takes to make money and if you can then great! For me I strongly believe in TA first and if...

Hey victorcountry, What I perceived throughout the interview was that it had no sales obligations at all. I'll keep that in mind the next time I meet them again. Thanks for the info! Cheers!

Many thanks to everyone who have given your valuable input! Definitely opened my eyes and options to this line. Could barely find zilch on the net regarding technical analysts/chartists but you guys have certainly blown me away with all the info! Cheers!

Hey SimpleMeLike, They do not have a trading desk as there would be a conflict of interests but they do not have any qualms with employees doing their own trading. Trading my own account shouldn't be much of an issues but I've yet to try it while working. Reason being I trade on the slightly...

Hey Southampton, I do have plans to take up the certification whilst in this job actually. Probably would do so even more since you've pointed that out! Cheers!

Hey TradeViper, Thanks a lot for the insights! They posted a job looking for a chartist/technical analyst and I just applied for it actually. They didn't screen through much of my transcript but more of my commitment and interest in the financial markets and how much of a team player I was...

Thanks a lot for your insights drm7! They do favour CMT but it wasn't a requirement. The sales part of the job is apparently done by the sales people I think. The analysts aren't required to do much of the sales but a lot of trade/idea generation daily.

I'm not sure but apparently the firm seems to be quite sought after for the work they do. I'll be going through some training in their methods of analysis and will be put under a couple of markets to look after.

Hi guys, Would appreciate some advice from you guys regarding a job as a technical analyst/chartist. I was previously from a prop firm but I left because I felt I could trade on my own albeit with a smaller amount of capital and less time required compared to day trading. Do you guys have any...

I've tried applying to such firms but it is not easy to get in at all. Perhaps I'll still continue searching while at this job and see if I get a lucky break. Thanks winter!

Hey MrMuppet, I fully agree with you 101% on everything you've said. I have worked in a corporate job before and I didn't like it one bit therefore the choice to take a risk and trade for a full year. I know I'm not supposed to be even thinking what if I don't make it in the industry because...

Thank you s0mmi for your honest and insightful feedback. All you have said really resonates within me and you've probably gone through this yourself. I know I will want to be trading throughout my entire life because honestly, trading doesn't feel like a job to me at all. It's a myriad of...
