I think most ppl on here have no idea what physical trading is or what it involves...
If you’re going to a sector based equity trading role, it could definitely help if the commods you trade are related. E.g. oil/gas for energy companies, metals for industrials etc
If you have some futures trading skills that would definitely help. It’s more analogous to the cash equities market than the underlying raw materials. I think you’ll have a foot in the door, just make sure you read up on equity market structure, micro/macro drivers for stock prices etc
Physical ? If you are big and strong you will stand out in trading. The floor pit is gone for most, but big boys still win. Sorry for the news skinny French traders.....
What do you have against French traders ?
