A natural gas trader buys and sells natural gas products on various stock and commodities exchanges. In this role, you may work independently as a commodities broker, or with a financial institution trading natural gas stocks, funds, and futures. Your responsibilities include meeting with clients to discuss their financial goals and determining the best ways to invest in commercial natural gas stocks traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ to achieve those goals. Other natural gas traders work for energy firms and track the movement of many commodities, such as oil and natural gas. You follow the daily fluctuation of natural gas prices, including residential prices, to measure your client’s daily profits and losses.
