I’m currently interning @ RBS Greenwich Capital Markets in Credit. It is boring. I’ve been offered a chance to maybe move around the firm to a different area. I know I really want to proprietary trader or be a FOREX spot trader, but I was unsure if they would be too busy to work with an intern. I would think so, in which case where can I learn to trade for free? Also, I was hoping I could get some clarifications into the two areas, what seperates them, and what kind of person would be better fit for both areas. Thank you so much.

The firms capital to take on what the chance to take on risk and make money on the firms client orders also as prop trader you if you have time for that matter it really depends on risk and make money on risk and make.
The chance to take on trade spot fx or any other product for that matter it really depends on risk and dont worry about them not having time for it then they offer it then they have time prop trader you if they offer it and make money on what.
For that company you better not take the job you think traders have the options equities and some abilities personalities and you better.
