What sets DV Trading apart
DV Trading is an independent proprietary trading firm trading on its own accounts across futures, options, equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrency, with offices in Chicago, New York, London, Toronto, Dubai, Miami, Houston, and the Bahamas.
The firm spun out from futures commission merchant Rosenthal Collins Group in September 2016 with 225 employees and has since grown past 300 globally. Its commodities desk concentrates in energy markets (crude oil, refined products, natural gas, power, and emissions), and the firm runs both quantitative and discretionary strategies.
For an early-career candidate, DV is a mid-sized prop shop with named desks (DV Commodities and DV Equities surface explicitly in its job listings) rather than rotational programs, so the choice of desk and city at application largely fixes the asset class you trade and how the day is structured.
