Traders @ Princeton is a student-run club for people who want careers in quantitative trading. Members build real trading skills, compete in internal trading games, and are setting up a student-run fund.
Founded Fall 2026 · Independent student organization
Where our members are interning
Current and past internships. These firms do not sponsor or endorse the club.
Student-run and selective. We learn by practicing, competing, and building.
We build the skills the job runs on: probability, expected value, mental math, and market making. The same work gets members ready for quant interviews.
Members make markets and trade against each other in internal games and competitions.
We are setting up a fund that members will manage themselves. It has not launched yet, and this page will say so when it does.
In the worksSponsors meet students who spend their free time trading, through our resume book, talks, recruiting dinners, and trading games that carry their name.
Members are current and past interns at Jane Street, Citadel, Citadel Securities, Hudson River Trading, D. E. Shaw, Optiver, Susquehanna, and IMC. They drill market making, compete in trading games, and are building a student-run fund.
Give a talk, host a dinner or coffee chats, or put your name on a trading game and help design it.
The club is new. Firms that join this year are listed as founding sponsors.
Started in Fall 2026 with a founding class of members. Names link to LinkedIn.
Our first events are planned for Spring 2027. Email us and we will tell you when dates are set.

No finance background is needed. We care more about how you think than what you already know.
You enjoy problems with no obvious answer and stay with them until they give. Puzzles, probability, games, proofs: if that sounds like fun, you will fit in.
Any major is welcome, and you do not need to have traded before. Maybe you did math or physics olympiads, programming contests, research, or something else entirely. What matters is that you have gone deep on something difficult. We teach the rest.
Trading is a team effort. The best ideas come from people who think out loud, listen well, and help each other improve. We want members who make the whole group better.
We are recruiting now. We review interest form responses on a rolling basis and invite people to interview as we go, so earlier is better.
Tell us who you are and what you want from the club.
We review responses as they arrive and invite people to interview.
The incoming class joins the club.
A few short questions: your name, email, class year, major, what you want to do in the club, and your experience so far. You can also attach your resume as a PDF, which is optional.
Sponsorship, speaking, or joining. One inbox for all of it.
