We back convictionwith real capital,not conditions.
Goose the Gander is a proprietary trading firm built for traders with edge. We finance talent, engineer the infrastructure, and share the upside. Discipline today. Freedom tomorrow.
Four convictions that govern every trade we make.
Capital is a discipline
We do not chase noise. Every position is an expression of conviction, sized with intent and defended with rigor. Risk is not the enemy of return — it is its architecture.
The desk is a craft
Great traders are made across years, not weekends. We invest in people the way we invest in markets: patiently, deliberately, and with an eye toward compounding.
Edge is earned
There is no shortcut past preparation. Our traders arrive early, read deeply, and treat every session as a rehearsal for the moments that matter most.
Partnership over hierarchy
We back conviction with our own balance sheet. When you win, we win — and we build the infrastructure that lets talent move at the speed of the market.
A trading house, in the traditional sense.
Goose the Gander is a proprietary trading firm. We trade our own money — no client mandates, no outside pressure, no compromise. That independence is the foundation of everything we do.
Founded in 2026 on a simple, old-fashioned idea: find exceptional traders, back them properly with capital, technology and mentorship, and get out of their way. Discipline today, freedom tomorrow — it's not a slogan, it's how we run the desk.
Capital for every kind of edge.
Whether you trade on instinct or on models, we have a mandate — and the balance sheet — built for how you work.
Macro & Directional
Firm capital for traders expressing high-conviction views across equities, rates and FX with dynamic risk allocation.
Quantitative Desk
Research-driven strategies deployed on our low-latency infrastructure, with full quant and engineering support.
Volatility Arbitrage
Relative-value and volatility mandates for specialists who trade the surface, backed by institutional financing.
The Trainee Track
A structured path from first fill to full mandate — mentorship, simulator capital and a clear route to the desk.
Trade like it's yours. Because the upside is.
We are always looking for traders with genuine edge and the discipline to defend it. If that sounds like you, the next move is one form away.
From the desk.
Everything you need to know before you apply.
Put your edge to work.
Tell us who you are and how you trade. Every application is read by a member of the desk — not a machine.
