Profile review for MFE

[Andy Nguyen]

why not give him some constructive advice and suggestions as to how to become a trader rather than simply telling him that you know people who are successful traders and didn't graduate college?

The "how to become a trader" advice giver should be/have been a trader himself, yes? I can only give a reality check from the MFE graduates I encounter over the years.
And if the OP has no trading experience before, the most practical advice I can give is to open a brokerage account and start doing some PA (personal account) trading.
Then, the next question is, what other roles OP will be willing to take after NUS/NTU MFE if trader goal is not working out.
