About The Role

WHAT IS A PROPRIETARY TRADING ROLE?

At Samuel & Co Trading we not only run a managed fund but are now expanding to proprietary trading. A proprietary trading house allocates company funds to independent traders. The traders utilise the training taught by Samuel & Co and their strategies to allocate their risk and trade the allocated funds. Samuel & Co allocate funds based on the individuals trading performance and offer a 50-50 profit share on the allocated funds. The successful chosen candidates after the training will then move to trade live funds. The individuals trading starting capital ranges from £1,000 - £25,000 depending on performance in training.

WHAT PROGRESSION PATHWAYS ARE THERE?

DO YOU SPONSOR VISAS?

Unfortunately we cannot sponsor you for a Visa. This position is considered an independent contractor, and is classified as a home based role. There is no employment basis for a visa sponsorship and therefore are not required for this role.

IS THIS A FULL TIME POSITON?

This position is designed to be flexible so it can be full time or part time, we understand that some traders only trade during certain market hours and as long as the performance targets are hit we do not mind what other obligations or career you have.

CAN I TRADE PERSONAL FUNDS ALONGSIDE THE ALLOCATED FUNDS?

The position does not restrict you when it comes to trading funds for yourself or manage funds for other people. When progressing with trading we encourage the individual to trade personal funds on top of allocated funds, as it shows confidence in the individuals trading.

ABOUT THE TRAINING

At the two week training you will be required to be present for the first week. The first week is where the individual is taught how to trade the financial markets using Samuel & Co Trading strategies. The second week is home based. This is where the individual candidate applies what they have learnt on this first weeks training into a designated virtual trading fund as if it was real capital. After completion of the second week we will review your performance in the markets and give feedback on how you have performed. Once we have reviewed the performance of the individuals we then look to fund those candidates that have shown consistent, positive growth on the account and have demonstrated strong reward to risk management skills, whilst maintaining a good level of communication to the risk manager.

WHY DOES THE TRAINING COST?

We charge a partial payment for the training cost because at the end of the two week training programme we do not know what quality of trader we have. We can only give the individual the rules, tools and the education necessary to trade the financial markets, it is down to them to be able to perform and make educated decisions when entering the market. Some individuals fail to meet the rules and consistency we require to invest in them, and because the applicant gains our trading strategies and certification there is a training charge.

HOW MUCH DOES THE TRAINING COST?

Training fees do apply because at the end of the two weeks we do not know whether or not we will have a profitable trader. As stated above the individual is expected to pay 1/3 of the training costs, the total cost is £3,000.00 so the individual is to pay £1,000.00 for the two week training programme.

HOW DOES REMOTE TRADING WORK?

Each trader will be home based / potentially office based in the future. Each trader will trade via

MetaTrader 4 software with our partner broker. Each trader will be responsible for what strategy they use on the allocated funds as long as they are within the rules of not exceeding the 30% drawdown limit on the allocated funds. Once the trader is ready to trade they use their terminal to make the decisions and enter and exit the positions manually themselves. At the end of each day they send a simple risk update to our risk manager showing what their open risk is in the market and what their closed profit is in the market.

WHAT PLATFORM DO I USE?

MetaTrader 4 software

CAN I TRADE USING MY IPAD OR ANDROID DEVICE?

All software required for placing your positions is available for the above mentioned devices. However we do advise to open positions from a main terminal such as PC or laptop and use the above devices to monitor positions rather than a main form of trading.

CAN I TRADE ANY OTHER INSTRUMENTS NOT MENTIONED?

You can trade other instruments in the market as long as you have confirmed approval from your risk manager before making the trades.
