Career path - Currently working as a trade assistant

I currently work as a Trade Assistant but am entertaining the idea of getting a job as an "Economic Capital Analyst". Which one of these positions will give me the best exit opportunities for investment banking?

Is trading a black hole? If you are not good at it what can you apply those skills to?
