12 WEEKS TO MAKE YOUR MARK
Participate in an intensive training program covering trading concepts, options theory, statistical modelling and machine learning techniques.
Explore large financial and market datasets, identify patterns and develop quantitative models that contribute to our trading decisions.
Working closely with our quant traders and researchers, you’ll explore how we generate trading signals and use machine learning in trading. You’ll develop your own set of signals and test it within our machine learning framework.
Throughout the programme, you’ll develop an automated trading strategy from the ground up, refining and evolving it week by week. In the final week, you’ll compete against your fellow interns to see whose trading ideas make the biggest impact on the profit and loss of our simulated exchange.
