Trivium Group

We are looking for a dedicated Assistant Trader to work under this trader as a Junior Trader.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly under a seasoned trader, managing a significant portfolio across multiple accounts. You will be watching the markets, doing deep level research, and executing hundreds of trades per day, primarily in the small cap equities market. We are looking for an individual who "loves the game" of trading but prefers the strategic and analytical side of execution over the high-stress personal risk of independent trading.

• Strategic Growth: Collaborating directly with the head trader to share insights, trends and ideas for optimization.
• Performance Reporting and record keeping: Analyzing daily, weekly, and monthly performance metrics to ensure all managed accounts are being monitored.
