We are highly selective in our recruitment process and aim to filter at interview level in order to ensure recruitment of only the most worthy candidates. The PTDP begins with a 2 month, full time, intensive course establishing the essential foundations required to become a self-employed trader, with Marex Spectron providing the seed capital and intraday leverage necessary to operate as a professional trader, with successful candidates contracted to trade solely through Marex. There is no monetary commitment required by trainees for the training; however, it is necessary that applicants are financially self-sufficient and able to support themselves (living costs, rent, travel  etc) during the extended development period.

• Introduction to Micro/Macroeconomics and their application to trading.
