Overview

Financial Traders can regularly make a significant amount of money for their employers. Trading is one of the most coveted jobs in the financial markets. A good Trader can make tens of millions of pounds for their company every year and take home vast bonuses.

The area of financial trading covers a wide range of job roles. A Proprietary Trader buys and sells financial products on behalf of the bank that employs them, whilst a Flow Trader executes trades on behalf of their bank's clients. A Sales Trader acts as a mediator between the client and the people who are responsible for actually executing the trades.

Other 'players' in the market are Retail Investors. These are individual investors who buy and sell securities for their personal account, and not for another company or organisation. They are also known as an "individual investor" or "small investor".

Regardless of their role in this fast-moving sector, typical work activities include:

• speaking with colleagues, making phone calls and making instant decisions on trades;
• making prices in their relevant products;
• executing trades electronically or by phone;
• liaising with sales traders/clients on market movements;
• predicting how markets will move and buying and selling accordingly;
• informing all relevant parties of the most relevant trades for the day;
• gathering information - critically about mispriced assets, detailed data analysis and valuation

To become a Financial Trader, you will need to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to analyse financial markets and apply trading techniques to financial products in a global market. These skills and knowledge will also enable you to identify areas for possible business development and sources of further financial support, as well as using CPD to develop your own competence.

This knowledge-based qualification will prepare you to work as a financial trading professional and enabling a linked progression onto our complimentary sector specific qualification, the Level 5 Diploma in Financial Trading (RQF). It will also allow you possible progression onto a Level 3 or Level 5 Management qualification, depending upon your ambitions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
