Is part time trading the way to go?

In the past it was not possible to be a trader in any form unless you were a full-time floor trader.

Worcester's impressive 44-37 win at Leicester Tigers last weekend certainly lifted heads across the division, not just in the fact that it elevated the Warriors off the foot of the table with their first win of the campaign, but the fact they were able to pick off their more illustrious rivals in their own lair.
