Join Raen Trading
At Raen, we are building a global proprietary trading firm that sets a new standard in the futures markets. We believe that consistent and sizable profits are the result of two key factors: edge and efficiency.
Edge comes from focus, attention to detail, and recognizing effect from cause. The source of this edge may be market experience, intuition, or analytical prowess. Whatever the impetus, the end-product is recognizable – actions leading to high likelihoods of favorable outcomes. Some edges are highly repeatable, while others target idiosyncratic and outsized payoffs.
Efficiency relates to the financial effort required to generate returns. This effort is closely linked to risk, including exposure required, expected turnover, tail loss, and execution sensitivity. Efficiency is as important as edge and is where professional traders often differentiate themselves.
We favor trading strategies that can generate the same returns using smaller risk exposures, lower profit fluctuations, less capital requirement, and tighter loss. Traders with good risk awareness tend to be better at running large capital allocations.
Our mission is to assemble a team of talented individuals who can apply edge in efficient ways at scale. We believe such talent is rare, so we have designed a process to make the opportunity as accessible as possible. While the industry norm emphasizes prerequisites such as educational or technical background, for us, what matters is the result – the ability to find and act on edge efficiently.

The Path to Joining Rean:
