Market Analyst
About the role
Tartigrade has identified various trading strategies that could prove quite lucrative, but they must first be tested in a simulated environment before implementing them with real money. The Analyst will be responsible to conduct this research, which involves gaining a solid understanding of each trading strategy by receiving training and conducting online research, scoping the research protocol, gathering the necessary market data, organizing the data, running the data through our proprietary market simulator and presenting risk/reward profiles.
The Analyst will also have the opportunity to monitor the day-to-day operation of the Fund. This will involve publishing daily performance reports, understanding the Fund's live positions, fixing bugs in the automated trading platform, assist with project management and assist in upgrading hardware and software.
The Analyst will report directly to the Fund's Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and so will be able to gain real world practical trading insights that are not easily found in textbooks. If the candidate demonstrates strong trading skills and his recommendations lead to the implementation of profitable trading strategies, he/she will be offered a trading role in the organization.
