Job description

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

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.
