Long Short Equities Trader – Opportunity to scale proven performance.
Proprietary Trader – Long Short Equities
London | Institutional Platform | Competitive Payout Model
We are working on behalf of a well-capitalised, newly established proprietary trading business, backed by a highly reputable and long-standing UK financial institution.
Our client is building out a team of experienced proprietary traders and is seeking individuals with a demonstrable track record in liquid long short equities and a focus on short duration / day trading on a geographic and sector agnostic basis. This is an opportunity to transition proven independent trading performance into a more scalable, institutional environment.
The opportunity
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will join a growing team with access to:
- Institutional-grade technology, data, and execution infrastructure
- Established quant and operational support
- Access to meaningful leverage
- A collaborative, performance-driven trading environment
- A structured compensation model combining a modest base with a formulaic payout
This platform is designed for traders who have already proven their ability to generate consistent returns and are looking to scale within a more robust framework.
Candidate profile
- Proven experience in short duration or day trading, ideally focused on liquid equities
- A minimum two-year verifiable track record of live trading performance
- Experience trading real capital in a live market environment (independent or institutional)
- Strong risk management discipline and consistency of approach

Important requirement
Applicants must be able to provide clear, verifiable evidence of trading performance. This will include independently validated records such as broker statements and/or bank statements. Spreadsheet-based records alone will not be sufficient.
Why consider this move
This is a rare opportunity to combine entrepreneurial trading skill with the backing, infrastructure, and capital of an institutional platform—allowing you to focus on performance while scaling your strategy in a supported environment.
