What Is Proprietary Trading?

If you have only traded through a retail account, you may not be familiar with proprietary trading. To become a proprietary trader, one is required to undergo a registration process and a background check. A proprietary trader becomes an associated person of Dimension, a registered broker-dealer, and is subject to professional regulation and jurisdiction of the CBSX and the SEC.

The benefits of being a proprietary trader include access to highly advantageous transaction fee structure and access to firm capital. Enhanced leverage is available to traders based on, among other things, trading experience, skills and buying power needs.
