A broker is a middleman.
A trader on the other hand does trading on commodities (buy\sell)
There are 2 types of traders. Proprietary traders and market traders
Prop traders basically buy\sell accordin to what they think will be profitable.
Market traders maximise profits from trade requirements set by their sales team.
Dealer is usually an interchangeable term for trader.

Hi Alan, it’s quite hard if you do not know of people who can pull you in.
If money is the motivation (nothing wrong with that), you might wish to look at alternative income sources while “working towards” or simply waiting for the commodities opportunity to happen.
Or you can further your education, not just for education’s sake, but more for the purpose of knowing more people.

Hi there,
I am an engineer. Decides for a career switch. I knew that academic qualifications are secondary to become a commodities trader. But that could also work against me, cause there is nothing you can work towards to embark on this career. Usually people who get into this lines are through friends. If a company is looking for one, usually it must come with prior experience. I would like to learn more about this line. Please revert. Thanks.
