Could be a very small trading firm where you are only given small amounts to play with. Most layman think of being a trader as making big bucks easily, but reality is that unless you are from a big trading house or hedge fund firm, many of these boutique traders don't really earn a lot.
I worked in a small firm on top of a shop house in Tiong Bahru many years ago trading index derivatives. Many friends and relatives did not believe it when I told them honestly I couldn't even make a 6 figure income yearly. The firm subsequently went bust after 2008 GFC and the boss returned to Indonesia after creditors came looking for him.
