Your Role in Our Mission

As a Dealing Analyst at NEXT Ventures, you sit at the intersection of market intelligence and platform protection. Your mandate spans three dimensions simultaneously: reading global markets with the precision of a seasoned dealer, understanding our trading population as a system rather than a collection of individuals, and stress-testing the risk parameters that govern how the platform behaves.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Market Analysis & Forecasting

• Conduct in-depth technical and quantitative analysis of global financial markets—FX, commodities, indices, and instruments across the NEXT product suite

• Develop and publish market forecasts grounded in historical data modelling, statistical trend analysis, and emerging macroeconomic signals

• Monitor real-time and historical price action, identifying recurring patterns, anomalies, and structural market shifts

• Maintain a robust internal knowledge base of market conditions, referenced daily by the Platform team and management

Trader Intelligence & Cohort Analysis

• Analyse trading behaviour across the platform to identify patterns, outliers, and clusters—scalpers, hedgers, algorithmic traders, sub-5-trade passers, statistically correlated accounts, and consistently profitable cohorts

• Map trader lifecycle patterns across the platform to inform risk strategy and platform optimisation

• Generate daily trading reports for the Head of Department, covering trade flows, exposure concentrations, anomalous activity, and behavioural patterns

• Benchmark internal platform data against broader market trends to assess whether trader behaviour aligns with, deviates from, or anticipates market moves

• Maintain cohort profiles over time, updating them as patterns shift or new exploitation strategies emerge

• Feed cohort intelligence cross-functionally to maximise its value across Risk, Product, and Operations

Risk Parameter Calibration

• Lead the periodic evaluation of trading risk frameworks and behavioural constraints, ensuring they remain effective and current

• Conduct quantitative simulations and performance audits on historical data to optimise risk filters—balancing platform security against trader experience

• Collaborate with Product and Investigation teams to implement rule changes with minimal disruption

• Identify platform vulnerabilities and exploit patterns; recommend countermeasures to protect the integrity of the trading environment

• Apply working knowledge of MT4, MT5, cTrader, and Match Traders to deliver cross-platform behavioural insights and recommend configuration improvements

• Detect and flag clients operating multiple simultaneous identities to extract payout

Reporting & Collaboration

• Produce daily dealing reports to support the Head of Department with decisions on risk, exposure management, and market positioning

• Prepare structured monthly insight reports presenting pattern forecasts, market outlook, and recommended strategic adjustments

• Translate technical analysis into clear, actionable business guidance for non-technical stakeholders

• Liaise with Product, Platform, and Technology teams to ensure trading rules and platform settings remain aligned with internal policies and industry standards

What You Bring

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline

• Professional certifications in financial markets (CFA, CMT, CFTe) are a strong advantage

Experience

• 3–6 years of experience in a dealing, dealer expert, or market analysis role within a regulated FX/CFD brokerage environment—this is the primary experience requirement

• Demonstrated experience operating at or alongside a dealing desk: reading aggregate flow, managing book-level exposure, and interpreting trader behaviour at scale

• Proven track record producing structured analytical reports and intelligence for senior stakeholders—business conclusions, not just data outputs

• Prior exposure to the proprietary trading industry—challenge structures, funded account mechanics, payout dynamics—is a strong advantage

• Experience managing or directing a team or analytical function is preferred

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in MT4 and MT5—platform configuration, trade execution mechanics, back-office settings, and symbol management

• Strong quantitative skills; advanced Excel proficiency; Python, R, or equivalent tools for data analysis and modelling are a significant advantage

• Ability to read, interpret, and direct Python-based analytical tools—specification and output validation, not production code authorship

• Comfort working with large trading datasets: trade logs, aggregated flow data, margin and exposure reports

• Familiarity with bridging technology, liquidity provider infrastructure, or dealing desk risk tools is an advantage

Your X-Factor

• Thinks in populations, not individual cases—instinctively asks ‘what does the whole book look like?’ before ‘what is this one trader doing?’

• Translates data into business decisions, not observations—the output is always ‘here is what this means and what we should do’, not ‘here is what the data shows’

• Intellectually independent—surfaces uncomfortable findings without waiting to be asked, and defends conclusions with evidence

• Collaborative by design—this function serves three teams simultaneously and must communicate clearly across different mandates

• Disciplined in ambiguous environments—this function has no established playbook; the right candidate builds one

1. 30-minute with TA Team

2. 60-minute Technical Deep-Dive with the Head of Department
