What Is a Proprietary Trader and How to Become One?
What Is a Proprietary Trader?
A proprietary trader uses a financial firm’s capital to make a direct profit. Traders analyze stock market trends to decide how to trade the money to maximize the initial investment. Traders keep a portion of the profit they make for firms or banks, then continue trading other capital, such as stock market shares, to increase profit margins. Some proprietary traders employ arbitrage, which is when a stock or commodity varies in price in different markets. The trader takes advantage of the price difference to buy in the lower market then sell in the higher market to turn a profit for the firm.
​
How to Become a Proprietary Trader
Proprietary traders use financial knowledge of hedge funds, stock market conditions, and investment strategies to trade assets for profit. To become a proprietary trader, earn a bachelor’s degree in finance, business, or mathematics. Complete at least one internship with a trading firm to learn about the finance industry and make professional connections. Apply for an entry-level proprietary trader role. The application process for traders is often rigorous, so be sure to study advantages, disadvantages, trends, and best practices of trading within investment banks.
