Bond Traders can make a lot of money using leverage. Leverage is where you use just a small amount of money to command a large amount of money. The best part is how your possible loss is limited to only the small amount of money instead of the large amount.
The key to making money with a large amount of money is to break it down into small amounts and use leverage - so the total amount of money you trade with is far greater than your own capital - but you risk only a small portion of your own money.
It does not matter whether you are a forex trader, stock trader or one of the Bond traders - the principle is still the same. It also applies to trading commodities. If you are a novice then doesn't it make more sense to trade with other peoples money instead of your own? If you want to join the bond traders using other peoples money you can - as many proprietary traders do.
The first thing you must do is learn from professionals strategies that work. And then when possible have them mentor you or at least give you the trades you should make like so many Bond traders do.
