Newbie here!
I'm recently out of college (roughly 2 years on, in a credit risk position @ gas utility with small spec book). Wondering if financial commodity trading is now primarily in the hands of computers? Or if a futures-curious young dood can still make a living in this?
I have an opportunity to move into a market risk position (again @ a gas utility), which I see as a step towards a financial gas hedge trading role.
Out of curiosity about deriviatives markets, I took & passed both levels of the FRM. Given my role in credit risk however, there is momentum pushing me toward structured Trade Finance.
I see this route sending me towards larger, cross border deals (LNG focused?). Can trade finance be a lucrative route?
Hey That1Dood, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
You're welcome.
I am in similar situation like you- currently working as a credit risk analyst at a BB European bank, but I am looking to lateral to commodity trading eventually (or related field). So, I would like to ask what did happen to your career?
Also, do you think that FRM is useful?
