Program Targets Undiscovered Trading Talent
The firm’s Talent Scouting program invites individuals from any location to demonstrate their ability in futures markets and compete for a place at the proprietary trading firm. Participants will reportedly train and trade on the same platform that Raen’s professionals use, offering a direct route into a structured trading environment.

Ryan Wright, Chief Executive of Raen Trading, explained the rationale for building the initiative around the TT platform. “TT sets the standard for professional trading infrastructure. It's what we rely on at Raen Trading, and it's the natural choice for the open tryouts. If we're serious about developing world-class traders, they need access to the same institutional platform our team uses,” he said.
Elevating the Path to the Trading Desk
TT delivers execution , order management, data, analytics, surveillance, and risk tools across more than 100 markets. In 2024, the platform processed over 2.8 billion transactions, reflecting its presence in banks, brokers, funds, and proprietary trading firms.
Raen Trading sees the initiative as an on-ramp for traders who lack institutional access. The partnership narrows the gap between independent trading and structured prop-firm careers by offering technology normally reserved for larger financial players.
The launch aligns with a broader shift in the industry, where prop firms are increasingly seeking new ways to source, test, and develop talent beyond traditional recruitment channels.
More recently, following the platform's official launch, Trading Technologies enabled client access to GFO-X, the UK’s regulated and centrally cleared digital asset derivatives exchange .
The exchange targets institutional users and operates under a regulated framework with central clearing. Trading Technologies integrated its global platform with GFO-X.
