Mid-Frequency Trader- Days to weeks- automated- Global Capital Prop House- $300K++ recruitment

Global prop house is looking to expand its London, NY, Connecticut and Chicago operations with the addition of mid-level traders with proven track records.

Background

Currently having assets in excess of $7BN the group has a strong presence within the systematic and discretionary trading space. The asset classes the group has historically focused on are futures and equities, but now due to the development of new internal areas of growth the group are now looking to expand cross asst across the US and UK with the addition of systematic traders with experience in either currencies, commodities, FX or rates and treasuries. The group is keen to capitalise on their most recent success across the short term horizons-trading across the daily to weekly holding periods.

Responsibilities

Currently in a phase where the group has a lot of capital and risk appetite they have the capacity to hire experienced systematic traders or portfolio managers who have experience running their own books and generating their own PNL. The group is looking to give traders the freedom to bring in their strategies and trade them with the backing of greater assets and state of the art technology. Your must have at least 2 years experience in systematic trading and running your own book- the firm are less keen to speak to candidates that have a book size less than £2MN although there may be exceptions based on returns and Sharpe ratios. The strategies with smaller capital must have the capacity to be leveraged with larger assets. You will be responsible for the full running of your funds/ strategies from idea generation, paper trading to actually executing the trades- this full rounded skill set is something that is part of the companies culture and a key reason why employees have greater autonomy and self-actualisation needs fulfilled.

It is quite rare to find such an opportunity at an established prop house where you can utilise your strategies with greater capital and gain the rewards with greater PNL. Bonuses and payouts tend to focus around the 20% mark and the group head is keen to reward systematic traders with greater packages.   

You

• Must have a track record of at least 2 years of systematic trading- running a medium to large sized book. Good Sharpe ratios are preferable.

• Willing to take ownership of risk and utilise large amounts of capital.

• Strong research and trading skills- looking to implement existing strategies and have the drive to implement new strategies.
