Dubai, United Arab Emirates Laz Partners Full time

Posted by

Alex Lazaridis- Founder & Senior Recruiter

**Role Overview**

Our client, a fast-growing alternative investment manager, is looking to hire an FX Proprietary Trader to join their investment team. Reporting directly to the CIO, this role focuses on short-term trading strategies, with an average trade time horizon of 1-2 days (as opposed to longer-term strategies driven by macro fundamentals).

With a structured, competitive formulaic payout tied to performance, this opportunity offers significant upside potential for traders who can demonstrate consistent results while wanting to scale up their own FX book.

**Key Responsibilities**
- **Short-Term Trading**:Execute tactical proprietary trades across major FX pairs, focusing on technical analysis and short-term price movements.
- **Risk Management**: Implement disciplined stop-loss strategies to manage downside risk and protect capital, with tight controls on position duration.
- **Trade Monitoring**: Continuously monitor market conditions, adapting positions as necessary to optimize returns within the defined time horizon.
- **Collaboration**: Work closely with the CIO and team members to align strategies with broader objectives, while maintaining a high degree of autonomy in trade execution.
- **Performance Growth**:Start with lower trading limits (e.g., $100k levered 20x), with clear milestones for scaling up to higher limits (e.g., $1M-$2M) based on performance.

**Requirements & Qualifications**
- **Experience**: Proven track of prop pnl generation in FX trading, with a focus on major FX pairs. Experience in short-term trading strategies is essential.
- **Technical Analysis**: Expertise in technical analysis, with a deep understanding of price patterns, market momentum, and support/resistance levels.
- **Risk Discipline**: Strong history of disciplined risk management, including the consistent use of stop-loss strategies and a focus on preserving capital.
- **Market Access**:Familiarity with trading platforms and liquidity providers, including experience trading via bank platforms
- **Focus on Short-Term Trading**:The role is suited to traders specializing in short-term market moves, with no reliance on medium-to-long-term macroeconomic fundamentals or views.
- **Cultural Fit**: Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

**Additional Information**
- **Compensation**:Formulaic payout model tied to trading performance, offering significant earning potential for successful traders.
- **Growth Potential**:Clear opportunities to scale trading limits and expand responsibilities based on consistent results.
- **High Priority Role**: This position is critical to the firm’s ongoing success in building a world-class trading operation.
