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 ?

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?
