Job Summary
We are seeking a detail\-oriented, high\-focus individual to join our trading team as a Trade Replication Specialist. In this role, you will not be making independent stock or option decisions—at least initially. Instead, you will be given a screen feed of several experienced traders and will be responsible for emulating their trades in real time. This is a pure execution and replication role, ideal for someone who understands market dynamics and wants to break into professional trading without the pressure of generating their own signals.
Important note for applicants: This position is intentionally not a discretionary trading role. Seasoned traders who expect autonomy and creative input will likely find it mundane. We are explicitly seeking candidates who may have less experience or confidence in their own trade generation, but who excel at rapid execution, multitasking, and following precise instructions. If you thrive on copying proven strategies with high accuracy and speed, this role offers exceptional financial upside.
Responsibilities
* Real\-Time Trade Replication: Monitor 3–5 experienced traders’ screens (shared via video feed) and immediately execute their stock and option trades in your own account/interface.
* Multi‑Screen Management: Actively toggle between 4 monitors displaying different trader feeds, order entry platforms, risk dashboards, and market data.
* Daily Recaps: Produce a concise end\-of\-day recap documenting trades executed, discrepancies (if any), and observations on trader behavior or market conditions.
* Latency \& Accuracy: Maintain sub‑second reaction times to trade signals; ensure fills match the lead traders’ entries as closely as possible.
* Future Discretion (Limited): After demonstrating consistent execution proficiency, you may be granted limited latitude to adjust position sizing or timing. This is not guaranteed and would be phased in gradually.
