Morphology
The noun phrase 'trading operations' is directly derivable from 'trading' (conducting trades) + 'operations' (business activities), so the meaning of activities managing financial transactions follows transparently from the parts. This gerund/noun composition is a common and predictable pattern in English (and in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term trading operations comes from the image of a busy market where trading means 'buying and selling' and operations means the everyday actions that keep things moving. Today it means the behind-the-scenes work, like making trades and keeping customer records, that makes trading possible.
