Requiring structured thinking, a critical mindset, and bold action, our internship is as close as you can get to real trading experience. Throughout the program, you’ll receive hands-on training from former traders and researchers, expand your knowledge on options theory, and sharpen your instincts through live-market simulations. You’ll also team up with fellow interns on a high-impact research project, tackling real trading challenges from day one.
Define a clear, testable hypothesis. Decide which ideas to prioritise and why, balancing depth against breadth before you write a line of code.
Work with real market datasets. Clean, explore and visualise the data, then stress-test your assumptions before building on them.
Implement your strategy in Python and run it against historical market data. Learn what holds up out of sample, what breaks and why.
Document your reasoning and present your findings. How you think matters as much as your results.
How you apply those skills depends on the project. Some focus on building systematic trading strategies from scratch, others on research-driven analysis of specific markets and instruments. Here are examples of what they can look like.

“The education I received was the highlight of my experience. This kind of program can’t be beat - one that actually sets you up to a become a full-time trader.”
“Being on the floor with full-time traders was definitely my highlight. Having access to senior traders was awesome, and they were really friendly and open to my ideas.”
“I really liked working with a team that had very different skillsets. I learned new ways to approach a problem and greatly improved my technical abilities by learning from them.”
“I really enjoyed working on the futures trading research project because I could explore different approaches to the trading problem.”
“The level of attention to detail by the education team was incredible. It didn’t feel like there were 50 of us with the amount of time they had for our questions and how well they knew everyone.”
