Summary

I am a software engineer turned trader. I have been trading with my personal savings for more than two years. I was able to generate profits consistently for two years in multiple accounts. Even though I traded in cash and commodity segment, I preferred to trade in derivates more. I want to use the knowledge and experience that I gained over the past 2+ years to manage bigger funds and serve more clients.
