THE PROGRAMME

The Algorithmic Trader Programme is an immersive and structured three-month vocational training for individuals who are aiming to start a career as a proprietary algorithmic trader. The algorithmic trading model offers a grounded introduction to financial theory, trading algorithms, automated trading systems and relevant emerging technologies. This allows traders to develop their own systematic trading strategies and learn how theoretical trading models work or how to break into a quantitative analysis role at another financial organisation. The programme offers good foundations in coding and so no previous coding experience is required.

This online programme provides a combination of practical exercises, a virtual classroom, practical trading experience on our professional trading platform, comprehensive video content, and interactive webinars, alongside expert mentoring while developing and deploying algorithmic trading strategies.

This integrated development environment offers learners all the relevant investment industry knowledge, including an introduction to financial theory and behavioural finance and applied research from successful hedge funds and industry leaders in the investment space.

Candidates accepted onto the programme also receive a starting $20,000 trading account to trade with. Working with leading industry experts with a 50% profit split, we offer complete transparency in targets and incentives.

All traders are independent contractors and have freedom in how they work and where they work as this is a remote opportunity. Additionally, our algorithmic trading programme can fit around both work and family responsibilities, as you can trade from the comfort of your own home!
