Graduate Trader – Expression of Interest
IMC trades a wide range of financial instruments, in many different ways. This means we look for different types of traders;
from the quantitative minds who enjoy the mathematical side of trading to more operationally focused personalities who thrive on interacting with brokers over the phone.
The experience expected from applicants, as well as additional skills and qualifications needed for this job are listed below.
Our traders share one thing in common, though : they are at their best when solving complex problems. Their insights into global events, market shifts and pricing ensure we always trade in the right place, at the right time.
The Role
Your IMC journey begins with a seven-week global trading traineeship led by our seasoned traders and technologist, during which you’ll link up with graduates from all three IMC regions.
You’ll then continue your training in your local office for a further two months before joining a desk that matches your specific background and strengths.
Where you go from here is up to you we’ll help you carve out your own niche as you tackle new challenges and explore exciting opportunities in our markets.
And you’ll gain real recognition for your ideas and successes along the way.

- Trade a wide range of financial instruments
