      I am a full time option trader. Besides trading my own money of course, I also have a full service website and manage money for a handful of other clients. This is my business and my full time job as I do receive management fees from my clients. 100% of my day to day work involves analyzing markets and making trading decisions for me and my client portfolios.

      Does this sound like something that would be considered relevant work experience? It’s certainly 100% trading oriented. But since it’s my own business, does that count?

      Thanks

        Thanks for the reply Sophie. I’ve been thinking of starting the CFA course to enhance my existing business, but that work experience part really scares me because i’ve never had an industry job and I’m just not sure having my own investment fund would qualify.

        Could I ask a few follow up questions? I know there is no cut and dry rules for this, but do you think my investment fund would have to have a certain number of paying clients or achieve a certain amount of capital under management to qualify as relevant?
