Looking for a trading pos at a prop firm

H

Husky02

I have been working in the commodities sector, mainly energy over the past for years. I have put in time at Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Schroders. For the most part I have had operational jobs, ranging from P&L analyst to settlements clerk. I have a great understanding of the trading environment and have a strong desire to start trading. However, working for large investment banks there are too many political hoops to jump through to obtain a position on the desk. It has grown quite old and I'm looking for a respectable prop firm and enter a trainee program. I wold appreciate any info people could pass along on possible firms and/or contacts to work with and what to look out for. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks!
 
thanks....do you know the percentages on most prop firms in regard to a capital deposit? Most places I have read about do not require any persoanl funds

with the experience you have , you may want to check out

First New York Securities and/or Schonfeld Securities

www.firstnewyorksecurities.com

www.schonfeld.com

from what I know, most other places are the, "here's your desk, go get 'em" places. so unless you know what and how you're gonna trade you're better off with a place that offers more training like the two firms mentioned above.
good luck.....and keep us informed of your progress if you can.
