Principal Trading Program

FNY’s Principal Traders trade exclusively for the firm’s own account and trading lines are based upon experience and performance.  Our traders are encouraged to transact business in any sector they choose and are expected to demonstrate exceptional risk management skills at all times.

Traders at FNY receive a fixed payout of their net trading profits.  Individual payouts are not tied to the performance of other traders at the firm.
