Mid-20s, U.S.-based, been trading NGLs for 2 years. Started from scratch and grew my book to low 7 figures in P&L. Expectation is to scale P&L significantly over the next 1–2 years.
Small shop, lean team, I run my own physical + paper, logistics, and customer book. I’m trying to get a sense of what fair compensation looks like for physical NGL traders at smaller companies — base salary + % of P&L.
What’s standard in the industry? What should a trader with a $2–5MM P&L expect in terms of base + bonus structure?”
