• I work as a Derivative Analyst at a proprietary trading desk, where my core responsibility is to execute trades based on a well-established and disciplined strategy framework in the Indian equity derivatives market. While actively trading, I also lead and manage a team of traders, ensuring alignment with our collective trading methodology.
• Key aspects of my role include:
• Trading primarily in intraday derivatives, with selective carry-forward positions, using strategies such as calendar spreads, ratio spreads, and other predefined option-based approaches.
• Utilizing software-driven, algorithm-supported systems to identify opportunities, manage positions, and enhance trading efficiency.
• Overseeing the team’s adherence to our uniform strategy, while allowing each trader the autonomy to take individual positions within the defined structure.
• Focusing on generating net monthly returns of 2–3% or higher, with a strong emphasis on risk management and consistency.
• Providing guidance, performance feedback, and strategic clarity to team members to help them improve their execution and decision-making.
• This role combines hands-on trading with team leadership, requiring both precision and the ability to maintain strategic discipline across the desk.
