Financial Trading Courses

Professional Traders can find work on both the “buy” side of the street, with investment management firms, pension funds and other institutional investors, and on the “sell” side of the street, in the trading department of investment dealers and banks. They can also be self-employed, particularly if they deal in options or futures or trade their own capital.

Traders place orders in equity, fixed income and money market securities. They may also be licensed to trade in futures, options and foreign exchange. They may execute trades in the over-the-counter (OTC) markets, or become registered to trade on the major public exchanges.
