What is a weekend trader?

Weekend traders are individuals who engage in buying and selling financial instruments, such as stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies, during the weekend when most traditional markets are closed. They typically take advantage of markets that operate 24/7, like cryptocurrencies, or use strategies that anticipate market movements based on weekend news and events. Weekend trading can involve higher risks due to lower liquidity and increased volatility, so it often requires careful planning and risk management. Many weekend traders use online platforms that support after-hours or continuous trading.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend trader, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Trader, you need a solid understanding of financial markets, technical analysis, and risk management, often supported by relevant finance or economics education. Familiarity with trading platforms (such as MetaTrader or Thinkorswim), charting software, and possibly certifications like the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) can be valuable. Strong discipline, quick decision-making, and emotional resilience are standout soft skills in this role. These abilities are crucial for making informed, timely trades and managing the unique volatility and liquidity challenges of weekend markets.

What are some common challenges faced by weekend traders, and how can these be managed effectively?

Weekend Traders often face challenges such as lower market liquidity, increased volatility, and limited access to certain markets or trading tools during non-standard hours. Successfully navigating these obstacles requires strong risk management strategies, careful position sizing, and staying updated on economic news that could impact weekend market movements. Many Weekend Traders also rely heavily on automated trading systems or pre-set alerts to monitor market changes, enabling them to act quickly despite reduced resources. Building a supportive network of fellow traders can also help share insights and strategies specific to weekend trading.

The roles differ mainly in credentials, work environment, and industry usage, catering to different career paths and trading approaches.

What will you work on
You will be responsible for monitoring and trading prediction markets in real time across Kalshi, Polymarket and other venues; implementing strategies across categories such as sports, upDown markets, elections and weather. 
You will be hands-on, improving the whole stack. Predictions is a greenfield project within Wintermute and you will have lots of freedom to build the system you want. You'll have to wear many hats and provide coverage for key events, for example major sports games where market activity is heightened, and can fall on evenings or weekends.
Hard Skills Requirements:
  • Strong Python skills - you have 1-3 years of experience coding in Python, be that through work, study or personal project experience - we will test!
  • Excellent quantitative and analytical skills - we will test!
  • Demonstrated interest in prediction markets - you are engaged in the space (personal trading, following major developments, contributing to discussions, etc.)
  • Have an owner mentality - you focus on the ultimate result - P&L for the company and strategically growing the business and Wintermute partnerships.
  • Love problem solving, and love seeing your products work; you do whatever it takes to do what's needed (trading, coding, analysing data, collaborating).
  • Determined, ambitious yet humble, willing to work hard and learn on the way.
  • Like meritocracy and being judged by what you deliver.
  • Like working in a collaborative environment.
Here is why you should join our dynamic team:
  • Opportunity to work at the world's leading algorithmic trading firm in digital assets.
  • Engaging projects offering accelerated responsibilities and ownership growth compared to traditional finance environments.
  • A vibrant working culture with team events, celebrations and company wide team building events.
  • A cool office in the heart of New York City which often hosts some of the leading industry events.
  • Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional yet with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial.
  • A performance-based compensation with a significant earning upside  alongside standard perks like private medical insurance.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
