Options Trading Internship with Demeter Capital
Options Trading Internship with Demeter Capital
South Florida
Demeter Capital is the general partner of a long/short hedge fund. We will launch a new income strategy within the fund that benefits from the time decay inherent in standard stock option contracts. Trades will be executed using an automated bot system.
Purpose
For the student, the goal of the internship will be to develop his/her knowledge in the fields of technical analysis and option-based income strategies. Skilled practitioners of both disciplines are rare. Any student who can master these niche skillsets will have attained the means to earn a significant income independently and will also be in high demand by most financial firms.
For the firm, the student will:
-Test the bot system with a paper trading account before we transition to trading real capital.
-Connect the broker software to the bot platform and optimize the broker interface for option trading.
-Run statistical reports of the strategy’s performance.
Applicants
Students that will succeed in this internship should have the following characteristics:
-Ambitious and interested in long-term career success
-Comfortable with math (no calculus required but otherwise high-level)
-Comfortable attacking new ideas and disciplines independently
-Comfortable with learning new software
-Hardworking, honest, and sincere
Skills
-MS Excel
-Any experience trading stocks and options would be a significant plus.
Pay
The internship will be unpaid, thus applicants must not have immediate financial needs. If, in the surprising event that the applicant can provide immediate value to the company, then compensation will be adjusted accordingly.
If the student excels in the position, then paid employment will be offered for the following summer and potentially beyond.
