Cross-Commodity Algo Trader
A well-established trade house with genuine market access across UK, Western and Continental European power and gas, biofuels, feedstocks, softs and ags is bringing a new algo trading seat to market.
The mandate is deliberately flexible. The right trader could work across the full commodity range or carve a defined focus within it, the business has the infrastructure and appetite for both.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
