Research Positions (Full-time and Part-time)

People with quantitative minds who enjoy mathematics, physics, the hard sciences, or who simply enjoy the challenge of creating effective strategies to trade the markets will (upon qualifying) have the opportunity to access our research platform in the comfort of their own home and gain the opportunity to profit from their efforts. Individuals will even have the opportunity to transition into a full-time career with an international investment firm.

Research candidates, in general, will be given the task of developing robust (profitable) quantitative, rule-based trading strategies. Markets can only go up or down, so the challenge is discovering quantitative clues that each market offers about the future direction of price. Once a trade is entered in a market, the next challenge is to develop rules for when to exit a trade. The concept is simple and we believe that the best trading system ideas are still out there. Are you up of the challenge?

 



Student Researcher

People who are still in school will be candidates for this position. Researchers can work from their home at any time of day or night that they desire, which eliminates any scheduling conflicts with classes. We are strong proponents of higher education and have designed this position to complement your academic endeavors. For those who are selected, this position represents the ultimate opportunity while you are in school. Selected individuals will gain valuable work experience for their resumes and, at the some time, have the opportunity to apply and potentially transition into a full-time career researcher. Lastly, one of the best perks of research positions is that they allow researchers to live anywhere in the world. All you need is a telephone and a computer with internet access.
