Arbitrage Trader
I like trading, IT and research – so I sought to combine them, and this role enables me to do just that. When I joined All Options the element I found most attractive is the variety. I am trading, monitoring and developing strategies, and doing research.
I graduated with a PhD in Applied Mathematics and a Master in Econometrics & Operations Research. In my team I kind of act as a bridge between IT, research and trading. When I started in 2007 we were exploring new ground and progressed rapidly. I first started mainly doing quant research but have moved more towards algorithmic trading now. I like the fact I had the opportunity to develop.
In All Options I have the freedom to do whatever is needed to achieve our goals. This creates lots of opportunities to continuously improve yourself.
In this role you need to be highly analytical – even a good trade should be examined from the angle of can this be optimised?
