Akuna Capital Options 201 Course

Are you bright, math-savvy, competitive, and want to see what working at a trading firm is like? Perhaps you have taken an options class (perhaps Akuna's Options 101 Course) and want to take your trading knowledge to the next level? Akuna Capital is excited to offer a week-long virtual seminar showcasing derivatives trading. This opportunity is open to undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in our industry and who want an inside look at life as a trader at Akuna. During our 1-week virtual Options 201 Course, running from September 22nd - 26th, 2025, we will build upon what was introduced in our online Options Trading 101 Course. We will dive deep into how market makers 1) price options 2) analyze risk 3) automate their workflow and more. Please note that prior completion of the Options 101 Course is not required, but highly recommended. By the end of the course, we expect all participants to better understand options market making and most importantly have a better idea of if trading is the right career for them.
