Trading Sneak Peek Week Participant

At Akuna Capital, we believe that innovation begins with inclusion – we are committed to providing access to women and our industry's other underrepresented groups. This August, we are excited to offer an engaging, week-long seminar showcasing derivatives trading in our Chicago headquarters. Through this program, we aim to bring together applicants who promote inclusion and diversity in the workforce, champion underrepresented talent, and are interested in receiving an inside "sneak peek" of life as a trader in the options market-making industry. As a Trading Sneak Peek Week participant from August 18th – 22nd, you will be enrolled in a crash course on the exciting world of options. You'll start the week collaborating with our dedicated trader trainers, as they teach you risk management, game theory, and optimal decision making. Outside the classroom, you'll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in real time. Does mastering the educational trading games and simulations used by our entry-level traders sound like fun? Would you like to shadow our trading desks to learn about Akuna's unique approach to acting as a global liquidity provider/market maker? If your answer is yes, Sneak Peek Week is right for you!

Akuna Capital is an innovative trading firm with a strong focus on collaboration, cutting-edge technology, data driven solutions, and automation.

They opened the firm's first office in 2011 in the heart of the derivatives industry and the options capital of the world – Chicago.
