City trader Kweku Adoboli has denied fraudulently gambling away a record £1.5bn while working for Swiss bank UBS.
Adoboli, of Clark Street, east London, will go on trial accused of losing the cash in Britain's biggest banking fraud.
The 31-year-old spoke only to enter not guilty pleas to two counts of fraud and two counts of false accounting when he appeared in the dock at Southwark Crown Court in London.
An inquiry by the Financial Services Authority is under way
Wearing a tailored grey suit and dark blue tie, he sat forward in his seat and took notes as pre-trial arrangements were made.
Adoboli worked for UBS's global synthetic equities division, buying and selling exchange traded funds, which track different types of stocks, bonds or commodities, such as metals.
He is accused of dishonestly using his position to try to make a personal gain, and causing UBS losses or exposing the bank to the risk of loss.
City watchdog the Financial Services Authority and its Swiss counterpart have launched an investigation into why UBS failed to spot allegedly fraudulent trading.
The charges relate to the period between October 2008 and last September.
Prosecutors allege Adoboli gambled away the cash while buying and selling exchange traded funds.
He has hired London law firm Bark & Co, which specialises in fraud cases, and is represented by Paul Garlic QC.
