What is a no experience options trader?

A no experience options trader is someone who is new to trading financial options and has little or no prior background in investing or trading. Options traders buy and sell contracts that give them the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price within a set time frame. Beginners often start by learning basic concepts, practicing with simulated accounts, and gradually building their knowledge before trading with real money. Many online platforms and brokerages offer educational resources and demo accounts to help new traders get started safely.

What does a typical day look like for a no experience options trader starting out in a proprietary trading firm?

As a no experience options trader in a proprietary trading firm, your day will likely begin with market research and reviewing overnight news to inform your trading decisions. You’ll spend time shadowing senior traders, participating in training sessions, and practicing simulated trades to build your understanding of options strategies. Collaboration is common, as you'll discuss market trends and strategies with your team, and receive feedback from mentors. Early in your role, expect to focus more on learning and risk management rather than executing live trades, gradually taking on more responsibility as you gain confidence and demonstrate skill.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a no experience options trader, and why are they important?

To thrive as a No Experience Options Trader, you need a strong understanding of financial markets, basic math skills, and a willingness to learn, even if you lack formal trading experience. Familiarity with trading platforms like Thinkorswim or Interactive Brokers, as well as online educational resources or certifications such as the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam, can be beneficial. Analytical thinking, discipline, and the ability to manage risk and emotions set successful traders apart. These skills are crucial for making informed decisions, minimizing losses, and building a profitable trading strategy over time.

Job description

About G-20 

G-20 Group is a cross-asset trading firm headquartered in Switzerland, trading delta-one and derivatives markets globally. We combine startup agility with institutional-grade experience in proprietary trading, technology, and quantitative finance.

Role Overview 

As a Gold and Precious Metals Options Trader at G-20, you will be responsible for managing and optimizing a discretionary precious metals options portfolio. You will collaborate with a team of traders, quantitative researchers, and developers to enhance pricing models, refine trading strategies, and drive superior risk-adjusted returns. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to G-20's continued expansion within a fast-paced and dynamic trading environment. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Develop, implement, and refine options trading strategies across precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium). 
  • Analyze market microstructure, order flow, and volatility dynamics (including skew, term structure, and implied vs. realized volatility) to identify and capitalize on trading opportunities. 
  • Collaborate with quantitative analysts and developers to improve options pricing models, hedging algorithms, and execution tools. 
  • Maintain strong awareness of central bank policy, real yields, US dollar strength, inflation data, central bank gold reserves, and safe-haven demand dynamics that influence precious metals and volatility markets. 
  • Execute trades with precision across listed and OTC precious metals options, futures, and physical/spot markets, ensuring best execution and liquidity management. 
  • Manage portfolio Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta) and adjust hedges dynamically in response to changing market conditions, including around key macro data releases, central bank meetings, and geopolitical events. 
  • Contribute to the continuous enhancement of G-20's trading infrastructure, data pipelines, and analytical frameworks. 
  • Monitor portfolio performance and risk metrics, providing regular feedback on strategy effectiveness and market impact. 

Requirements

  • Degree in Finance, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field from a top-tier university. 
  • Strong background in commodities/precious metals options trading with a solid understanding of options pricing theory, volatility trading, and relevant strategies. Experience in high volatility asset classes and leveraged trading is essential. 
  • Proven track record of generating consistent profits (PnL >$2m annually for more than 3 years). 
  • Experience with quantitative trading and the ability to apply data analysis to trading decisions. 
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of making quick, data-driven decisions. 
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams. 
  • Demonstration of a results-driven, proactive, and self-motivated approach. 

Preferred / Desirable Experience 

  • Experience in a proprietary trading, market-making, or hedge fund environment. 
  • Familiarity with automation and algorithmic execution strategies for options. 
  • Proficiency with trading and analytical tools (e.g. Python, Excel/VBA, SQL). 

Right to work: This role can be based out of our Zurich, London, New York or Hong Kong office. Only candidates who possess the pre-existing right to work in one of the locations above without company sponsorship need apply.  

Join G-20 Group and be a part of a team that is at the forefront of financial markets, driving innovation and excellence in the sector.
