SEB – FX Trading Lunch Lecture

October 8 @ 12:15 pm - 1:00 pm

Many investors are drawn to the idea of generating alpha—outperforming the market with savvy trades. But have you ever wondered who’s on the other side of those trades, and how they earn money?
 
In this workshop, we will explore the critical role of the market maker, the unseen force that ensures liquidity and balance in financial markets. By understanding how market makers operate, manage risk, and profit from their positions, you’ll gain key insights into the mechanisms that keep markets functioning smoothly. We will also discuss the strategies market makers use to earn a profit while minimizing risk and examine real-world examples showing how they maintain equilibrium in fast-moving markets.
 
If you’re curious about the dynamics of the market beyond trading strategies, join Simon Österberg, Chief Quantitative FX Trader, and Olivia Sabel, FX Quant Sales, as they explore the engine behind the trades.
