Day-to-day operating brief

What Trader work looks like in practice

A Financial Markets Trader buys and sells approved instruments for a firm, fund or client mandate within defined limits. Terms should identify desk, products, venues, position and loss limits, models, pricing, order execution, communications, market-abuse controls, inside information, errors, booking, valuation, remuneration, working hours and the exact authority to hold or close risk. Position records should reconcile executed orders, booked trades and the risk system quickly enough for limits to be meaningful. A model price or stale market input needs visible qualification, particularly when valuation affects profit and loss or collateral. Handover should explain unusual positions and pending events, not simply list totals that another trader cannot interpret. The trader should understand which orders represent risk reduction, client facilitation or new proprietary exposure because escalation and performance interpretation may differ. Voice and electronic channels need approved use, while any off-system instruction must be captured promptly enough to preserve surveillance and operational records.

Manage positions within assigned limits.
Monitor prices exposures and liquidity.
