Trading and Strategies
Traders play a pivotal role in market-making, risk management, and executing investment strategies across asset classes. In traditional finance, traders work with foreign exchange, commodities, fixed income, and derivatives, ensuring liquidity and optimising positions for both proprietary trading desks and client-driven businesses. In digital assets, traders focus on spot and derivatives trading, arbitrage, and algorithmic execution, helping institutions access liquidity across exchanges and OTC markets. Whether operating in banks, hedge funds, or digital asset firms, traders rely on deep market insights and advanced strategies to navigate volatility and capture opportunities in dynamic global markets.
Successful traders combine strong quantitative skills, market intuition, and risk management expertise to optimise trade execution and portfolio performance. They must be proficient in technical and fundamental analysis, pricing models, and trading strategies, with many leveraging algorithmic and high-frequency trading (HFT) techniques. Familiarity with trading platforms, execution algorithms, and market structure is essential, whether in traditional finance or digital assets. As the industry evolves, experience in legacy financial markets provides a strong foundation for traders transitioning into crypto and decentralised finance (DeFi), where liquidity dynamics and regulatory considerations are rapidly developing. Adaptability and data-driven decision-making are key to success in this high-stakes, fast-moving environment.
