Program Targets Undiscovered Trading Talent

The firm’s Talent Scouting program invites individuals from any location to demonstrate their ability in futures markets and compete for a place at the proprietary trading firm. Participants will reportedly train and trade on the same platform Raen’s professionals use, offering a direct route into a structured trading environment.

The program invites traders worldwide to compete for a place at the proprietary firm. Raen Trading wants to spot promising individuals early and give them tools that match real-world trading desks. Participants will train and trade on the same platform that the firm’s professionals already use.

The format resembles a global audition. Anyone who believes they can trade futures markets can join, operate on institutional-grade software, and be assessed on performance. Raen Trading aims to smooth the transition from at-home trading to a structured professional environment.

Ryan Wright, Chief Executive of Raen Trading, explained the rationale for building the initiative around the TT platform.

"TT sets the standard for professional trading infrastructure. It's what we rely on at Raen Trading, and it's the natural choice for the open tryouts. If we're serious about developing world-class traders, they need access to the same institutional platform our team uses," he said.

Elevating the Path to the Trading Desk

TT delivers execution, order management, data, analytics, surveillance, and risk tools across more than 100 markets. In 2024, the platform processed over 2.8 billion transactions, reflecting its presence in banks, brokers, funds, and proprietary trading firms.

Raen Trading sees the initiative as an on-ramp for traders who lack institutional access. The partnership narrows the gap between independent trading and structured prop-firm careers by offering technology normally reserved for larger financial players.

The launch aligns with a broader shift in the industry, where prop firms are increasingly seeking new ways to source, test, and develop talent beyond traditional recruitment channels.
