What is a funding trader?

A Funding Trader is a professional who trades using capital provided by a proprietary trading firm or external investors. Instead of using their own money, they receive funding based on their performance and risk management skills. Their goal is to generate consistent profits while managing risk according to the firm's guidelines. Typically, they earn a share of the profits they generate, with the remaining portion going to the funding provider. The role requires strong analytical skills, discipline, and the ability to adapt to market conditions.

What does a funding trader do?

A typical day for a Funding Trader involves monitoring market conditions, analyzing liquidity requirements, and executing short-term funding transactions to ensure the firm's financial stability. Funding Traders work closely with treasury departments, risk managers, and settlement teams to coordinate funding strategies and maintain optimal cash positions. They also communicate with counterparties such as banks and brokers to negotiate rates and terms. The role offers frequent opportunities for collaboration and requires quick decision-making in fast-paced, dynamic environments, helping to build a strong foundation for career advancement in financial services.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a funding trader?

To thrive as a Funding Trader, you need a solid understanding of financial markets, money market instruments, and risk management, often supported by a degree in finance, economics, or a related field. Proficiency with trading platforms, Bloomberg terminals, and knowledge of regulations like Basel III are commonly required, and professional certifications such as CFA can be advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are key soft skills for success. These skills and qualifications are crucial for accurately assessing funding needs, executing transactions under pressure, and collaborating with internal and external financial stakeholders.

DV Trading

Chicago, IL • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 17 days ago


Job description

About Us:
Founded more than 15 years ago and headquartered in Chicago, the DV Group of financial services firms has grown to more than 450 people operating throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, DV Trading has rapidly scaled as an independent proprietary trading firm utilizing its own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to worldwide financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users. Now, DV group affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and a bourgeoning investment adviser.
Overview:For this very specific role, DV Trading is actively seeking to hire solely experienced traders or trading teams who have recent, relevant, successful strategies with a proven record of success. The only applications that will be considered for this role are ones coming from reputed prop firms, pod shops, or hedge funds, but please bear in mind, returns must be prop-like in nature. Also, while we love speaking with Forex traders, Mr TopStep and other funded traders, respectfully this type of trade activity doesn't qualify for this role, so please bear that in mind as you contemplate applying.
***UPDATE*** DV Trading is experiencing rapid positive change, we like to think by the day. We are always trying to align ourselves with the best trading minds on the street. DV, and any successful proprietary trading firm, for matter, must have a DNA comprised of not just highly competitive people, but ones of the highest moral character. This cannot be overstated. If this is you, please apply! I/we will look forward to connecting with you and exploring possibilities!
Requirements:
  • Minimum 5 years of working experience within a proprietary trading firm or pod shop
  • At least 2 years in a risk taking role
  • Ability to clearly articulate your strategy as well as provide validation
  • Accountability for own actions
  • Possessor of high moral character and integrity

DV is not accepting unsolicited resumes from search firms. Only search firms with valid, written agreements with DV should submit resumes in response to DV's posted positions. All resumes submitted by search firms to DV via e-mail, the Internet, personal delivery, facsimile, or any other method without a valid written agreement shall be deemed the sole property of DV, and no fee will be paid in the event the candidate is hired by DV. DV is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
