Intraday Trading information

What is intraday trading?

An Intraday Trading job involves buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day to capitalize on short-term price fluctuations. Traders analyze market trends, charts, and news to make quick decisions and execute high-frequency trades. This role requires strong analytical skills, risk management strategies, and a deep understanding of market behavior. Intraday traders often work in fast-paced environments, using trading platforms and algorithms to optimize their strategies.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in intraday trading?

A typical day in Intraday Trading starts before the market opens, with traders analyzing overnight global news, economic reports, and technical indicators to prepare trading strategies. Once the market opens, traders closely monitor price movements, execute multiple trades within short timeframes, and constantly adjust their positions based on real-time information. Most intraday traders work independently or as part of a small team, frequently collaborating with research analysts or risk managers. The fast-paced nature of the job requires constant focus and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure. At market close, traders usually review their trades, assess performance, and update strategies for the next day.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in intraday trading, and why are they important?

To thrive in Intraday Trading, you need strong analytical skills, in-depth financial market knowledge, and a solid understanding of technical and fundamental analysis. Proficiency with trading platforms, market monitoring tools, charting software, and potentially certifications like FINRA Series 7 or CFA Level 1 is highly beneficial. Quick decision-making, stress resilience, and unwavering discipline set top performers apart in this high-pressure environment. These competencies are critical because success in intraday trading hinges on timely data analysis, rapid execution, and emotional control to capitalize on short-term market movements while managing risk.

Job description

Virtu is a leading financial firm that leverages cutting edge technology to deliver liquidity to the global markets and innovative, transparent trading solutions to our clients. As a market maker, Virtu provides deep liquidity that helps to create more efficient markets around the world. Our market structure expertise, broad diversification, and execution technology enables us to provide competitive bids and offers in over 19,000 securities, at over 235 venues, in 36 countries worldwide.

THE ROLE

Virtu's trading desks operate globally across a wide range of asset classes, leveraging our advanced trading technology to develop and enhance our strategies and trading operations across both proprietary and client-facing businesses.

As global markets continue to expand toward 24/7 trading, Virtu is seeking traders who are specifically available to cover weekend sessions. Our Weekend Traders are not expected to work more hours than a standard schedule—but must be open to including Saturdays and/or Sundays as part of their regular workweek.

Our Weekend Traders are risk managers that help to keep our trading systems and strategies running smoothly, providing critical operational support and maintaining our high-performance algorithmic trading strategies. Duties will include:

  • Supervising and optimizing strategy performance
  • Intraday market and credit risk management
  • Basic back office and site reliability monitoring
  • Communication and coordination with the larger global trading team

Our ideal candidate is dependable, trustworthy and has the confidence to oversee our trading business during atypical working hours. This candidate will also have the opportunity to work closely with software engineers to enhance and further develop the firm's trading strategies. Our Traders not only become experts in trading technology and its interaction with the market, but they also play a crucial role in the evolution of market microstructure and the driving forces behind liquidity. This is an excellent opportunity for the right person to join a collaborative, fast-growing team, while learning trading at a leading market maker.

THE CANDIDATE
  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field preferred. Strong graduates will also be considered.
  • 1-3 years' experience working at a financial institution.
  • Prior trading experience is a plus, but not required. Ideal candidate would have a strong interest to learn and grow within a global trading environment.
  • Programming experience is required (Python, SQL, Java or C++).
  • Dependable, trustworthy and highly self-motivated and self-disciplined individual.
  • Outstanding quantitative problem-solving skills and mathematical aptitude.
  • The ability to communicate information precisely and with agility.
  • A physicalizer; a person who identifies issues and creates solutions without rigid direction or fanfare.
  • Open to a work schedule that includes Saturdays and/or Sundays as regular working days.

Virtu Financial is an equal opportunity employer, committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace, welcoming you for who you are and does not discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected status.
