Worldspreads Ireland - Senior Trader

Started off in Sportsspread which offers spread-betting on all major sporting events. Daily tasks would be to price up sporting markets based on statistical work done on that event, answer the phone and execute clients trades and managing our overall liability while trading events in-running.

After 7 months at Sportsspread I moved over to the Financial desk working my way to a Senior Traders position on the financial spread betting trading desk, managing key client relationships while working alongside the risk manager and head trader managing the firms trading risk. Trade execution was a major part of my role at Worldspreads. Main areas of trading were FX, Indices, Commodities and UK and Irish Equities.
