My background is primarily in software development and management consulting and I'm looking to make a career shift into trading. I've spent the last few months studying for the CMT, but I've yet to meet a trader that has heard of it (mta.org if you are curious). I learned a lot in the beginning, but I'm starting to feel a diminished return on my time. Does this credential carry any weight?

What can I do to make myself attractive to a prop firm and get tied into the trading community better?
What exactly is your objective? Just to make yourself attractive to a prop firm? the CMT imo means less than series 7 and a solid track record, but im sure opinions will differ.
