Overview Models talk about markets like a textbook and trade like they've never been filled: a strategy that ignores the bid-ask, a hedge that's wrong by a Greek, position sizing with no respect for slippage or where the liquidity actually is. Someone has to know how the trade behaves when real size hits the tape, and that someone is you. As a Trader you'll evaluate AI reasoning about markets, execution, and strategy, check the mechanics that only show up on a live desk, and write the judgments that teach models how trading actually works.
What you’ll actually do Evaluate AI trading strategies : the edge, the risk, and whether it survives real execution. Check the market mechanics : spreads, slippage, hedging, and the liquidity assumptions the model glosses over. Write the desk-grade answer when the model falls short, with the risk and execution detail a live book demands.
Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Trader, Execution Trader, Market Maker.
What we look for Experience trading or making markets, professionally or in serious personal work. Fluency with market microstructure, execution, and risk. Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
Compensation Up to $125+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income.

What does the Trader role at DataAnnotation pay?
DataAnnotation indicates Up to $125/hr for this role, but hedges the figure rather than committing to it. Treat it as an indication: HumanSourcer flags hedged pay instead of presenting it as a firm rate, and the listing's own wording is quoted in the Pay section above.
What kind of work is Trader?

Is DataAnnotation a legitimate AI-training platform?
Reported worker-facing operating brand - and that relationship is rated "High - reported, not disclosed on portal" here because it can be checked against nymag.com rather than taken on DataAnnotation's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
