The Role:
As an Equity Trader Intern, you will spend the summer learning about the markets and Trillium’s proprietary technology. Working closely with a designated mentor, you will research and enhance our existing trade strategies. You will develop a solid understanding of the US, Canadian, and OTC equity markets, along with the US options market, while strengthening your communication, quantitative, and analytical skills. Here, you’ll practice and grow your understanding of economics, risk assessment, and decision-making by placing simulated split-second buy and sell orders using our proprietary keyboard-based trading platform.
Our intention is to set our interns up for success before graduation and thoughtfully challenge each to expand their knowledge of markets while providing exposure to manual trading. Interns who prove they are a great fit for Trillium during the internship may receive offers to become full-time equity traders after graduation.
