About the Role
Traders manage their unique strategies in rapidly evolving live markets. They tune model parameters to reflect prevailing conditions, execute trades based on model recommendations, evaluate the real-time feedback provided by market participants’ reactions, and reincorporate this information into their models in a continuous feedback loop.
Five Rings gives people as much responsibility as quickly as it can be earned. From day one, as a new Quant Trader (QT), you will gain unrivaled experience both on the desk and in the classroom.
- New hires work closely with senior traders – analyzing risks and rewards, exploring new strategies, collaborating with quants and software developers to build and optimize trading models.
- Quant Traders work independently and with others to develop ideas and analyses, and integrate them into our trading strategies and systems.
