I have graduate college with BA in 2007 and started to work as a futures "trader" at a small hedge fund (mostly on European and Asian night desks). But a few month ago after our company lost some money and clients I was laid off. Since then, I am not really sure in what direction I should look and how to search to a related positions (most hedge funds similar to mine don't even have web site). This is my duties at the previous job.
