Quote from CalTrader:
... Pretty simple equation.... After 5 years will you have more money than you can make running your trading business ?
In a business ownership position the value of the business builds in addition to the salary that you obtain. How much will your business value build over this time versus the commission you can get at the firm: will they provide an ownership position after a certain time ? Are they putting forth an employment contract or not ? What is the employer risking ? Nothing ?
To me the employment contract would be key: the employer should be offering some type of guarantees. If I am running a profitable trading business then I certainly would not give up my business for a bunch of empty promises .....
Caltrader, Yes I have perused the contract it guarantees me X in income regardless of order flow. Well worth the experience alone.
Thank you for your thoughts.
