dealer starts from 2000. it depends on the name.

trader starts from zero. it depends on the name.

dealing/trading circle is small. high barriers to entry. no clear definition of requirements. but aptitude in figures, high threshold of stress levels and quick/fast thinking are basic definite attributes.

in current mkt conditions, its not easy for a freshie to get in. there are tons of experienced dealers/traders out there looking for a job as well.
