Origin: English loanword from 'trade' (Germanic origin).

Usage Note

Trader is fully adopted into Italian financial and journalistic language — un trader professionista, i trader online. It is invariable and can be masculine or feminine (il trader / la trader). The Italian equivalents operatore di borsa or negoziatore exist but are rarely used in everyday financial writing. Online retail investing has made trader familiar to a general Italian audience.

Examples

"Il trader ha aperto una posizione sulle azioni."

Natural Translation

The trader opened a position on the shares.
