Proprietary
Trading
Do you have
what it takes to trade for a living? - Our proprietary trading
department is looking for a few good men - or should we say, "a
few good traders?" In reality, we are constantly on the lookout
for novice and experienced traders alike that want to
take their trading to a higher level. Our proprietary trading program
is ideal for individuals who want to trade for a living; for example,
as a hedge fund manager. Our extensive relationships in this market
has provided us with key contacts at financial institutions - including
hedge funds, which are constantly looking to recruit talented traders
that can trade currencies successfully. Even though historically, hedge
funds have preferred to employ professional traders (with a reputable
and seemingly aristocratic background), nowadays the increasing demand
for alternative investments has caused the demand for successful and
innovative amateur traders to soar, especially when they come recommended
from a firm like ours.
Hedge
Fund Career
Only two steps
away from becoming a hedge fund trader - If obtaining a job
as a hedge fund trader sounds appealing to you, please pay attention
to this section. It is quite simple to become a candidate for a hedge
fund position via our prop trading program. There are two phases to
the program:
Hedge
Fund Incubation Phase: Simply by trading your own forex account,
you can qualify to be recruited by some of the most prestigious hedge
funds in the financial industry. A
successful trading account will provide the track record you need
to take your hedge fund career to next step. Consequently, a minimum
of 6 months of live trading via our platform is required before we
can consider recommending you to a hedge fund (VERY IMPORTANT). (UPDATE: This is no longer required. We have ways to determine whether you are a talented trader or not without you having to open an account with us and trade for six months. Click here to find out more).
Capital Introduction:
The capital introduction phase of the program is for managers who
have successfully completed our incubation process. Once candidates
have agreed to have their trading record disclosed to prospective
hedge funds, we will begin to make introductions in the interests
of securing the client capital from the fund to trade with. Alternatively,
opportunities also exist for individual traders looking to establish
themselves as independent CTAs as opposed to fund managers.
Prop trading
- trading other people's money via hedge funds
Proprietary trading (prop trading for short) involves the opportunity
to trade someone else's money for a living. If this idea sounds appealing
to you, then you might be the person we are looking for. Once you complete
our prop trading program, you will have the opportunity to trade hedge
fund capital in the forex market.
Free proprietary
training
If you want to have an opportunity get a job in the hedge fund business
by going though our prop trader program, but don't know how to trade
- this is not a problem. When you open an account, you still qualify
for the forex training that our regular
customers receive. Even though most candidates that start our
hedge fund incubation phase already know how to trade and don't request
our training, this is always an option for you. We want all
prop traders to be as prepared as possible and that is why we provide
our training. In our prop trading program, inexperienced traders will
receive practical education in order to create the required discipline
and skill set essential to trade successfully in today's challenging
markets.
(UPDATE: Due to overwhelming demand, training for the prop trader program is no longer provided. You must know how to day trade to be considered as a money manager).
