Should I send in a copy of my trading journal with my resume?
Hi all,
I'm recently about to graduate from a non-target Australian university with pretty shitty grades. Been day trading for the past year and a half and have managed to make a living off it busting my ass in front of a screen for >14 hours a day. As a result I have 0 connections, 0 internships and 0 job prospects.
I can continue day trading but I'd also like to build connections as well as have a solid career. Currently looking at IB and Prop firms. I'm double majoring in Finance and Software Development.
I was thinking of cold emailing prop shops and I was wondering if it would be good to include a scan of all pages of my trading journal for the past six months? I mostly trade XBT swaps / forex / commodities
And if you guys had any other advice for me it would be greatly appreciated, I'm lost tbh
Hey gandam, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:
No promises, but thought I'd mention a few relevant users that work in the industry: @tradingchibulls" antlfgrnd @juked07"
Hope that helps.
Sure. Either cold email and tell them you day trade, or put it on resume for trading firms, and they will ask questions in which you can provide more detail. You just have to reach out to as many as you can...someone will bite hopefully.
How much have you made from trading?
Do it, there is nothing to lose.
Isn't there a website that pulls trading data, and statistics from your broker and compiles it onto a few pages? That's pretty helpful. I think it's mainly used by people who want to get funded by OPM.
Interesting. If you’ve got a link, please drop it in.
