To be a floor trader on NYSE, if that is your question, you have to buy one of the limited number of "seats" to be allowed to trade on the floor and you have to meet licensing requirements and you have to have and show that you have adaquate capital.   Seats do sell from time to time; I don't know current going price.

I don't wish to be argumentative ,but I disagree with the Islamic belief that I should be killed! " If radical atheists decided they needed to kill believers to ensure their place in nothingness, I'd be criticizing that too."

If you mean to trade, buy and sell for yourself, open an account with a brokerage firm.
