Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not explicitly stated whether a banker can trade futures. However, it's important to note that trading, especially in futures, requires a deep understanding of the market and the specific product you're trading. It's also crucial to be aware of any potential conflicts of interest or regulations within your organization that may prohibit such activities. Always consult with your compliance department before engaging in any trading activities.
