 How Trading at QSG Works
QSG is a proprietary trading firm. We trade firm capital and fully back our traders with risk capital, technology, infrastructure, and market access. Traders do not contribute personal capital.

Compensation is fully performance-based. Traders earn a percentage of their trading profits. There is no base salary and no guaranteed compensation.

We view trading at QSG as a long-term partnership. Many of our most successful traders have been with the firm for a decade or more.

 Location: New York City

Junior traders at Quantitative Strategies Group are building long-term trading businesses inside the firm.  This is an in-person, New York City based role for candidates who already have a strong quantitative or technical foundation and want to apply it directly to live markets.

Traders at QSG operate independently while benefiting from shared firm infrastructure, including capital, technology, market access, risk management, and ongoing internal education. Our training resources support continuous learning across the firm and are used by all traders, regardless of seniority, to expand market knowledge, refine ideas, and deepen familiarity with our in-house technology and proprietary programming language.

Junior traders contribute to research, strategy development, and implementation from the outset. While traders may begin with smaller risk limits, responsibility and capital are earned over time based on demonstrated performance, discipline, and risk management.

This role is designed for individuals who want to take ownership of their work, engage deeply with markets, and compound skill over the long term within a collaborative trading environment.

Ideal candidates:

• Have a strong quantitative, technical, or research-oriented background
• Have already explored markets independently through research, backtesting, or strategy development
• Value continuous learning and self-directed improvement
• Are not seeking a classroom-style training program or salaried role
• Want to build a long-term career in proprietary trading 

Location:  Remote while in school | New York City after graduation 

Undergraduate traders at Quantitative Strategies Group are junior traders who begin building their trading business earlier than most, while still completing their degree. This is not an internship or a temporary program. Expectations, evaluation, and capital allocation follow the same framework used for junior traders across the firm.

Undergraduate traders typically work remotely during the academic year and transition to working from New York City after graduation, with a primary professional focus on QSG . From the outset, they engage in research, strategy development, and implementation, using the same infrastructure, internal education, and risk framework as other traders at QSG.

Access to capital and responsibility is earned at the same pace as junior traders, based on demonstrated performance, discipline, and risk management. There are no guaranteed timelines or outcomes.

This role is intended for undergraduates who want a meaningful head start, are comfortable with real accountability, and view trading as a long-term pursuit rather than a short-term experience.
 

Ideal candidates:

• Current undergraduates with strong quantitative or technical backgrounds
• Individuals who have already explored markets independently through research, coding, or strategy development
• Self-directed learners who value continuous improvement
