Met Traders
About MET
Met Group
Met Traders is a leading financial futures house, specialising in proprietary trading in the fixed income and commodity markets. We go straight to the market to earn our return, rather than relying on commission from someone else’s deals
We have our own model for successful trading, created by our founders, based on a combination of techniques and fundamentals.
With many years' experience in futures trading we are one of the most respected futures houses. We have been considered as one of the leading proprietary trading firms across the world’s top derivative exchanges for more than a decade.
Based in West Hampstead our office is extremely well connected by train, tube and road, with its own identity and local amenities – a dynamic alternative to the traditional City environment.

Gansham Halai
Ganny is a product of our own training programme.
After joining as a student in 2006, he overtook the running of the graduate programme in 2011 and, as a Trading & Development Consultant, oversees the graduate programme and the recruitment, training, mentoring of new graduate traders. As the economic climate and market conditions change, Ganny makes sure that the intensive eight week course changes too and stays completely relevant.
