Looking for 1-2 quants / systematic traders for the large-cap side of our equity prop firm.
who we are
• [8] traders, [6] years running. small on purpose.
• last year our top 3 made ~800%, 1,200% and 1,500% on their accounts with 25-30% max drawdowns. two had 7-figure months. statements on request.
• quants already on the team. now building a large-cap algo + backtesting stack: point-in-time data, real costs, out-of-sample holdouts.
the bar
• normally: you've made 7 figures trading in a year (often this reduces ego because have gone through pain), and you have good character.
• for this role we're making an exception: you don't need the 7 figures if you're an experienced quant, data analyst or systematic trader in large caps. discretionary large-cap traders whose edge can be written down as rules too. • the character part has no exceptions.
one strategy in progress is in the reply below: full rules + 4-year backtest. PF 1.21, misses our 1.5 bar. 2-3 more in the pipeline. Check the comments.
DM me:
1. what you trade + timeframe
2. track record in one line (return / max DD / how long)
3. one change you'd make to the strategy below, and why
best answers to #3 get a call first. public replies count.
not you but know someone it fits? a repost or forward means a lot.

Very rare to get back-to-back setups where you can tier into risk at 1–2R and end up +20–30R. $USO by @Afghanrebel
First: don’t fully take everything you see on here. Usually only the winners get posted. Thankfully no big losses sat between these two.
Same concept as always: anticipate the range, combine the longer-term thesis with daily-chart extension, then study one setup until you actually own it.

Morning post: “Today I started a new oil short with a 6–12 month time horizon.
Thesis: slowdown or de-escalation as we get closer to the election. Market can stay choppy because of election uncertainty.
Structure:
• Long-dated puts
• Short equity
• Short-dated calls as a hedge so I don’t have to babysit every tick while the bigger play works.( for swing account). Was short on day trade and swing account
The cover was because of gap to close (g/r line)

Process > outcome. One setup, repeated, if tiering, be confident that you can anticipate range, be mindful of structure where thesis becomes invalid, sized properly, with a plan for how you’ll add and how you’ll take risk off.
If this helped even a little, RT it and send it to one person who actually trades this way.

$tnon making +30rr starting risk with 2-3 rr. By @Afghanrebel
Someone asked about adding to winners.
I generally discourage it unless I can anticipate the range with high confidence. Accuracy of setup can go from 60%ish to 25%ish. Also if in correct cycle.
Big R feels good. It also has a real cost.
First job is reading the range. If you can’t do that, don’t scale.
I usually start 1-2R. Every add is another 1-2R on top.
Part 2 of 3
If I leave the stop at the high of day after adding, a stop-out is -6R to -9R.
I don’t do that.
I cut at -2R (sometimes 3R) instead of letting it hit the original high. That keeps the risk from exploding. Also it is aligned with structure or key level, where thesis becomes invalid.
Same idea later in the trade: after being +8-9R, a stop hunt took it to -2R. I put the size back on immediately. Tight stop. Can create a bad habit, if not disciplined or using hard stops.
I never use the widest “tier 1” stop. That’s the -9/10R level. I don’t stop there because I’m on tier 3 already.

Part 3 of 3
The part people skip: when you scale like this, accuracy drops from 60-70% down to 20-25%.
That’s the cost of the bigger gains.
Proper risk management at that point: once you’re at tier 3 size, stops go to break-even. No more giving it room.
Cycles also matter, are you in bullish or bearish or side ways market.
Only add when the range thesis is actually high confidence. Otherwise take the first piece and be done.
Thought process in case it helps.

Not investment advice. Just exercise on thought process & how to risk manage/visualize
Not investment advice but $uso thought process.
Debating a USO short 6–10 months out.
Thesis: uncertainty rises into the election, but they usually release pressure before that.
Two ways to play it:
1. Buy 6–12 month puts
2. Short the equity + buy 1–2 week calls as a hedge — more aggressive, better payoff, no need to nail the exact top, and it can chop without forcing a cover

#edgeleak joking joking lol, $nvda short, why it was taken, the breakdown.
We are not as active but have been tempted to post and make more content. Was tempted to make video on adapting in small cap. Let us know if it’s something you want to see
$nvda short, why shorted thesis behind it.
Very thankful to say Alhamdullilah, as pushing limits in small cap, transitioning to big cap via automation & some discretionary aspect.
Keeping concept simple and understanding why it works has been effective.
——
1) 230* has the biggest interest (option, open interest)
2) I think by Monday it may have a fade or Friday, I’m shorting equity and buying short term calls to hedge it till Friday night
3) strong rr on extension but had entries, entry based on 230 reject but I’m giving it room to 231-232 but those option writers will hedge and dump the shares
If it fades below 221 I will hold for swing short

Do you or anyone you know that would be a good fit as Data analyst/quant?
I’ve been short & want to short more via systematically & need your help. (not financial advice)
I’m short: : $NVDA, $ORCL, $QCOM, $PLTR, $spcx and other circular financing and semiconductor names for the past few weeks to months. I’m looking to build a systematic big-cap algo that can consistently farm these setups — especially intraday or multi-day short positions using data and algorithms. If you’re serious about this and have a strong track record, please reach out.
For $BMNR and $IBIT crypto, 20-30 years from now im bullish:
I took off my hedges today and made money on the short side. I’ll probably add back in soon, but my real plan is to hold long term — 5 to 20 years.
I’m buying 2-year LEAP calls and selling puts at the same time. I set it up so I collect a net credit. This means even if the price goes sideways, I can still make money from the premium I received.
There’s a decent chance that as the stock market dips and big IPOs keep sucking up a lot of money (with new trillion-dollar valuations popping up), some capital could rotate into crypto. But I don’t like chasing short-term money flows. I’d rather just buy things I’m happy to own for 20-30 years.
I’m a believer in crypto over the next 20-30 years. The tech, adoption, and valuations look a lot more reasonable than they did in past cycles. Even at today’s higher prices, I think it’s still a good long-term buy.
Because I’m selling puts at roughly 50% below current prices, I’m fine either way. If we get a big drop and I get assigned the shares, I’ll happily own them at that lower price. Just make sure you’re not using too much leverage — you don’t want to get liquidated or margin called if things move against you.

Please share this with any exceptional quants, systematic traders, trader or coders you know.
We’re an extremely small, high-performance group that plans to stay that way. We’ve consistently operated at the highest levels in small-cap equities and are now expanding into big cap.
Historically we only work with traders whom have typically 7-figure in a single year paired with strong character & work ethic.
We’re intentionally selective and looking to add just a few outstanding individuals.
If this sounds like you or someone in your network, please share this post with them.

$pavs have you been able to find any predictable behaviours?
$PAVS yesterday’s offering. Traders at the firm in premarket were able to anticipate the offering via filings & few had guessed given the high volume it would clear out and big wash offering late day.
Straight out of the 2020-22 playbook 🔥
Anticipating these dilutions can still print weeks (or months) of P&L in one single trade.
Shoutout to the few who were locked & loaded — saw the volume games and stop-hunted the HOD. Failed breakout delivered +25:1 R/R potential.
- what playbook do you have that is repeatable and can deliver strong rr?
Hey brotherhoods, please share with someone whom may benefit from this.
if you’ve ever thought about joining a prop firm, this might be the last chance. We’re turning it into a closed-group corporate setup, so you can only get in if you decide to join at the start.
There are 15 spots total, and 9 are already filled. Looking to lock this in 2 weeks, is this something that interests you? If yes, shoot me a msg & I can forward some of the benefits
Pic is for attention $slv $flpw $feed $fat $fatbb $pmn
Benefits,
Here’s a quick rundown of the benefits if you’re curious:
• Flat locate fee of 0.004 & 0.00065 commission +/- ECN, with the world’s most aggressive SSR hit-the-bid route and some badass stops that cut down on slippage. Current traders at firm, some in this room, tracked it using google sheet, same share and same stop have seen 1.5-2.5% savings on slippage for stops, plus a few market maker routes to get fills without moving the price too much.
• Accountability setup: Everyone gets their own room to post report cards, and other traders can see them and give feedback. All traders generally are required to have a +1 million/year and have to have good character, 50-50. There are some acceptions for pnl.
• Outsourced risk management: There’s always that day when you’re low on sleep or had an argument with a loved one and you think about removing your daily max loss. Having someone else check your emotions before approving is a huge help in eliminating black swan events, especially as a short seller in small caps. Various other aspect to improve consistency through tighter risk management.
• Access to a lot more clearing firms instead of just the 2 we have now.
• Flat locate fee without restrictions, creating an A+++ setup where we can hit super hard. When locates are $1+, that’s when going big really boosts your monthly P&L. We are all hesitant in locating when trade goes in our favour, It removes the sunk-cost mindset of not wanting to pay for expensive locates, which often holds us back and improves overall P&L.
• Ability to funded few months down the road or with a 50-50 risk split and high profit sharing.
• Joint team account to improve performance/collaboration: Each group of 3 or 5 traders with similar styles has one person executing for the week. They can stream it if the team wants, but it really helps everyone improve, communicate, and learn from how others trade to perform better.
• Big cap quant fund: Sharing the wealth for anyone who participates. I’ve been working on this for the past 2 years—the structure is set, and we have a solid quant going soon to expand to big cap due to liquidity issues. The goal is to improve traders’ quality of life and add some passive income. If you help contribute, will get passive income from it.
• Healthy competition: The best trader of the month gets backed with incentives for top performances. It’s not just based on P&L, but overall performance.
