I’ve been involved in 3 perfect processes recently with clients going above and beyond to ensure they were successful in hiring A-player Senior Quant Power Traders. In each case it was very competitive and involved relocation which adds even more complexity. This is why they were successful; - They moved quickly (processes took less than 2 weeks) - They listened to the requirements of the candidates and tailored the job descriptions to them - The Founder / Directors were heavily involved from the start - They met face-to-face, flew them out, put them up in a nice hotel so the candidate could get an impression of the culture and the city - They offered the best package with generous PnL splits - One client, a Co-Founder of a firm even travelled over 2 hours on a Monday night with 3 members of their team to close the candidate over dinner in a top London restaurant to show how serious they were and to get to know each other outside of work - They all already had a team full of A-players. This is important as A-players only want to work with the best talent. They are also fun to work with which is equally important IMO. Get in touch if you’re also serious about hiring A-player talent in the Power Trading space. #perfectprocess #whatittakes #Aplayers #powertrading #NordSearch

📢 A Day in the Life of a Quantitative Equity Trader at #citadel Are you curious about the daily adventures of a #QuantitativeEquityTrader ? Let's take a peek into the world of this dynamic role that allows you to work in various types of firms, including #investmentbanks, #hedgefunds, #assetmanagement firms, proprietary trading firms, and quantitative trading firms.! From managing risk to executing trades, quantitative equity traders play a vital role in the fast-paced world of finance. Join us as we explore a typical day in the life of one of our coaches as a Quantitative #Equity #Trader. 🕖 07:00 AM – 09:30 AM I start my day by waking up at 6:00 am Eastern Time, ensuring I'm ready to dive into work by 7:00 am. My initial focus is on monitoring live orders from Europe and assessing their progress during the mid-trading session. Following that, I review overnight fills from APAC, making any necessary adjustments to my trading strategy. Once everything is under control, I shift my attention to the pre-North America open phase.  🗞️ 09:30 AM – 12:00 PM As the North American market opens at 9:30 am, my primary responsibility as a trader is to execute orders while minimizing market impact. I employ various systems and tactics, such as algorithmic and block trading, to ensure efficient trades. Additionally, I analyze market activity and share valuable trade opportunities with Portfolio Managers, enriching the decision-making process. ⏱️ 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM In my world as a Quantitative Equity Trader, there's no traditional lunch break. I understand the need to stay connected to the trading desk at all times, as a split-second reaction can have significant P&L implications. I enjoy my lunch while monitoring the market and ensuring a backup trader covers any time I'm away from the desk. It's a demanding job that requires constant focus.   📚 4:00 PM After the market closes at 16:00, I wrap up the day by booking my trades and catching up on any pending emails. This time also provides me with an opportunity to work on side projects without interruptions. Whether it's backtesting new strategies or running simulations, I dedicate myself to enhancing my understanding of the market dynamics.  #QuantTrading #EquityMarkets #QuantitativeEquityTrader #TradingInsights Found this useful?

Let the Quant Trading journey begin… I am very happy to share an exciting update on my main project over the last months. The decision to quit my job wasn’t easy at first, but after four months, I am convinced, it was absolutely the right one. It gave me the time to analyze and implement my own (quant) trading and investment ideas. Today, I would like to share the first results of my initial quant strategy that I am running live since the beginning of the year. The goal is to earn a market-neutral income significantly above the USD short-term rate with low volatility by exploiting mispricing in the markets. I’ve completed 17 trades so far with an average return of 1.57% per trade after fees. The holding period varied between 1 and 47 days with an average of 16 days. 14 trades were profitable and only 3 were not with one significant loss at -4.92%. This loss prompted a strategy refinement to mitigate future risks. Currently, I hold 6 open positions of which 5 are in positive territory. Stay tuned for further insights and performance updates. In the meantime, don´t hesitate to send me a message. I am always happy to chat about my projects. #QuantTrading #TradingStrategy #InvestmentIdeas #TradeUpdate #FinancialIndependence
