Proprietary Trader – Equities (Day Trading Focus)
London | Institutional Platform | Competitive Payout Model
We are working on behalf of a well-capitalised, newly established proprietary trading business, backed by a highly reputable and long-standing financial institution.
Our client is building out a team of experienced proprietary traders and is seeking individuals with a demonstrable track record in liquid equities day trading. This is an opportunity to transition proven independent trading performance into a more scalable, institutional environment.
The opportunity
You will join a growing team with access to:
* Institutional-grade technology, data, and execution infrastructure
* Established quant and operational support
* Access to meaningful leverage
* A collaborative, performance-driven trading environment
* A structured compensation model combining a modest base with a formulaic payout
This platform is designed for traders who have already proven their ability to generate consistent returns and are looking to scale within a more robust framework.
Candidate profile
* Proven experience in day trading, ideally focused on liquid equities
* A minimum two-year verifiable track record of live trading performance
* Experience trading real capital in a live market environment (independent or institutional)
* Strong risk management discipline and consistency of approach
* Motivated to operate within a team-based, institutional setting
Important requirement
Applicants must be able to provide clear, verifiable evidence of trading performance. This will include independently validated records such as broker statements and/or bank statements. Spreadsheet-based records alone will not be sufficient.
Why consider this move
This is a rare opportunity to combine entrepreneurial trading skill with the backing, infrastructure, and capital of an institutional platform—allowing you to focus on performance while scaling your strategy in a supported environment.
