Our standardized approach to training ensures that every trader performs consistently with the firm's philosophy. Susquehanna traders begins as trading assistants, learning the mechanics of the auction marketplace and helping senior traders with their daily tasks. During this time, assistants also attend in-house classes on the probability and statistical concepts involved in trading.
Senior traders act as mentors to trading assistants throughout all phases of training.
As assistants become familiar with the principles of trading, the emphasis shifts toward a more in-depth analysis of trading decisions. Thus, trading assistants acquire a solid foundation under the guidance of experienced traders. Trading assistants who show extraordinary drive and initiative are invited to enter our formal Trader Training Program . Susquehanna's training program is widely recognized for its comprehensive curriculum, which prepares assistant traders to be astute market competitors. After successful completion of the formal training program, individuals are assigned to trade on one of the marketplaces in which Susquehanna has a presence.
