Hedge Fund Career FAQ's

I'm making money already. Why should I participate in your hedge fund or portfolio manager program?

It's quite simple. By trading other people's money, you can earn a lot more than by just trading your own (via incentive fees, management fees, etc.). You also have the opportunity to establish yourself as a recognized authority in the forex trading industry. These are two of the main reasons why successful forex traders should consider a hedge fund career through our prop trading program.

Why do I need to have a live forex trading account with you?

Not necessarily. If you provide us with a detailed statement of your trading activity, you may not need to open an account with Forex Trading USA. (Complete our Forex Trader Application Form).

What type of hedge funds will be interested in recruiting individual traders?

There are many hedge funds that are looking for new successful traders; Global macro funds are a perfect example. Global macro funds are hedge funds that look for global opportunities. Since currency trading is a key part of their overall international investment strategy, they are very much interested in finding talented currency traders all around the world. Although the supply of talented forex traders is quite low, the demand is growing rapidly, as macro funds become more common in the world's increasingly global financial markets. Potential money managers seeking careers in forex hedge funds have an advantage over equity traders. While stock hedge funds can turn to mutual fund managers as a source of trading talent, the forex market lacks a similar source of talent. Consequently, macro hedge funds are turning to individual forex traders to satisfy the high demand for successful currency money managers.

I don't want to work for a hedge fund. What kind of help do you provide traders who decide to operate as independent money managers?

If a hedge fund career is not for you, don't worry. We can still help you with two critical aspects of becoming an independent and successful forex money manager:

  1. Raising client assets to get your money management business up and running and
  2. Freeing up your time. We will handle all client support, account opening, etc. to give you more time to do what you do best: trade successfully.

Even though most candidates for our prop trading hedge fund program already know how to trade, you always have the option of going through the same free training program that our regular clients do. Even though this is mainly for clients that don't know how to trade, it does cover specific trading techniques and steps to trade currencies in the foreign exchange market (NOTE: Training is is no longer provided for this program. You must know how to trade already).

How attractive can my hedge fund salary be?

The salary you can earn as a hedge fund trader varies greatly. This obviously depends on the amount of money you have under management, and on how successful you are as a trader. Day traders and scalpers may earn a lot more if they are successful (but this is not necessarily the case).

If I do decide to go through the training program first, where is the training conducted?

The forex training is being conducted live through the Internet. During the training, you will hear the instructor through your computer and will be able to ask the instructor questions using your microphone. You will also be able to see your instructor's trading platform on your computer screen. It is just like a live seminar (NOTE: Training is is no longer provided for this program. You must know how to trade forex already).
