So you want to become a Trader?
Day Trading can be extremely lucrative. But…you absolutely have to know what you are doing.
​
Very few day traders can be successful without the mentorship of someone who’s ‘been in the trenches’. This is why the vast majority of day trading courses fall short. They teach the ‘book stuff’ but don’t follow through with real-life training. That’s like learning how to ride a bike without actually getting your knees scraped up a little.
​
Now, here’s the good news. Casdaq Trading is unique. Not only will we give you the best start by professionally trading your funds to ensure you can enter the market with a solid level of funding (day-trading your own account requires a minimum balance of $25,000.00 at all times) We will educate you along the way as to how we trade the markets and why we pick certain entry and exit points. We have found that by following our professional traders for at least 6 months sets you up well to take in to serious consideration our Trader Training Programme.
​
Without specialized training, profiting in day trading is virtually impossible. But, with specialized training, a smart day trader is able to pick out these profit opportunities. There are dozens of profitable day trading opportunities every day.
​
The Casdaq Trader Training Programme provides you with an edge for today's markets. The Casdaq Trader Training Programme is a demanding, comprehensive, and thoughtful trading course. You will develop valuable trading skills that will enable you to profit in any market, from any location, and for your entire trading career. The Casdaq Training Programme teaches you the a craft: the craft of trading!
ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAMME
Our online program starts with the basics and assumes you have never traded before. We move on to strategy, analysis styles and trading styles. We use a simulator extensively to learn new things. You are not left alone here. The program is a guided one where you have a real person to speak with and request feedback.
Frequently asked questions
IS IT HARD?
It sure is, but anything easy is not going to give you much reward. The online program requires you to study, research and trade on a simulator. It’s a few hours per day minimum, but the more time you put in, the better.
IS IT FUN?
Well we hope you find it fun. Trading for a living is tough, but it can also be very rewarding. The markets are always changing and presenting new opportunities. We think that is fun.
WHAT TYPE OF APPLICANTS?
Anyone can apply, but things we look for in applicants are little or no trading experience, some financial education (e.g. a commerce degree), entrepreneurial flair, an active lifestyle and a few other things. We have no secret criteria as such.

Frequently asked questions
HOW OFTEN ARE TRAINING PROGRAMS RUN?
We aim to run several programs per year and we take applications year round.
AAAGGHHH, THIS IS ALL NEW TO ME.
Relax. It was new to all of us at some stage. This is not rocket science. We simply teach you the tools of trading for a living. The best advice is to read, reread, ask questions and put more time into it.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY....
The best thing you can do is ask. When online you’ll have a ‘go to guy’. When in-house, you have the same. Use those resources.
I'M A LAZY, CAN I DO THIS?
No.
Frequently asked questions
HOW DOES THE IN-HOUSE PROGRAM WORK?
WHAT ARE THE HOURS IN-HOUSE?

HOW LONG UNTIL I GO LIVE?
That varies from person to person. We try to make it as short as possible.

Frequently asked questions
WHAT IS PROPRIETARY TRADING?
The definition of proprietary trading is very simple but often misunderstood or confused with other financial market participants.
Proprietary Trading activities are financial transactions undertaken by an organisation using and risking its own capital. The proprietary or ‘prop’ firm, will generate profits by way of assuming risk rather than by generating commission fees from customers. Proprietary Trading firms operate and prosper through a thorough understanding of risk and money management. As a consequence of their activities, proprietary traders generally provide liquidity to the market and a risk transfer mechanism for other market participants.
WHAT DOES THE THE TRAINING INVOLVE?
This initial part of the program runs online for four weeks and begins with the basics of trading, progressing quickly to more advanced concepts.
Trainees who successfully complete the online stage may then be invited to progress to join our in-house program in NYC or HK. This stage runs for six weeks and full time attendance is required. Trainees will be under the expert guidance of our training & mentoring team.
WHO TEACHES THE TRAINING PROGRAM?
We have a dedicated Training Team comprising traders and trading development professionals with global market experience spanning the decades, from the days of open outcry trading pits to up-to-the-minute technology focussed trading.
Trainees are guided, supported and encouraged every step of the way – your success is our success.
WILL I BE PAID AS A TRAINEE?
The program is free, which also means it’s unpaid. You will need to have the means to support yourself for the duration of the training program and beyond. Our traders are entrepreneurs, they run their own trading business, with our infrastructure, backing and support.
HOW MUCH WILL I EARN AS A TRADER?
Traders who successfully complete our full trader training program and become a Casdaq Trader will essentially be starting their own business. We provide traders with the capital and infrastructure to trade with ongoing mentorship and guidance. Remuneration arrangements are straightforward –profits are split between the trader and the house. You eat what you kill, it’s as simple as that.
I’M BASED OVERSEAS, CAN I TAKE PART?
Although part 1 is online, the aim of the program is to develop traders for Casdaq. Therefore, to complete the programme you will be required to spend time in our NYC or HK offices. Please note that we are unable to sponsor visas.
