I have just completed a 3 yr economics degree and now would like to do a serious course on trading that is properly established and run with industry recognition. Have looked on the ASX website and can’t seem to find much. Any suggestions or other organisation which would steer me in the right direction to investigate this matter further would be greatly appreciated.Cheers  davkell Member Username: davkell Post Number: 492 Registered: 07-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - 11:00 pm:     Tech Analysis course (not trading) offerred by the ATAA through FINSIA is recognised. For trading: www.iitm.com (US) Plenty of others, but can't remember them or not allowed to post them within the forum. Cheers.

I don't believe such a course exists. In the industry, your trading 'qualifications' are: 1. How long you've been trading 2. Your p/l 3. Who you were trading for (insto bank, market maker, hedge fund, private) The closest certified courses are the CFA program and the CAIA program. Both are usually undertaken by analysts and fund managers. You would not learn how to trade, but you would learn about a broad range of trading products. However, your best bet is to try and get a job at the industry. You'll find that traders at major banks, market makers and hedge funds apply very similar analysis and risk management as most of the posters on here - just on a grander scale. These kinds of businesses usually like to employ quantitative guys, like maths, physics, actuary, statistics and econometrics majors, so it can be hard convincing them to offer you a job. LEt me know if you have any further questions.  cowboy Member Username: cowboy Post Number: 4 Registered: 02-2007 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Monday, February 26, 2007 - 12:39 pm:     Thanks Davkell & Curtains for yr input, all info has been taken on board. best of luck
