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 Your Journey After Applying 30-minute with TA Team 60-minute Technical Deep-Dive with the Head of Department Why Join NEXT?
