STA Summer Party Guest Presenter 11/07/17

by Leave a Comment

Really enjoyed being guest speaker at the Society of Technical Analysts Summer Party & Awards ceremony last week. Asked to do something ‘lighthearted’ and now tagged as the STA’s Peter Kay!

Even better was my call of a Lean Hogs technical seasonality correction on the Tuesday evening and by the Thursday it had fallen 25% – who said I cant move markets!

Congratulations and good luck once again to all those students who achieved the MSTA qualification – I hope you found my ‘new technical analysts survival guide’ presentation useful and you’ll remember some of my top 10 tips when you’re at the top of your game!

Traders Surgery 27th June 2017

It was great to see everyone at this month’s Traders Surgery and to welcome more new members. The surgery kicked off with a discussion on Sins and Wins from the previous month, looking at how we can all improve our win/loss ratios.

THE STOP HUNTER DEVELOPMENTS
The eagerly awaited webinars will be trialed at the beginning of July for a Renko webinar and then followed by the Traders Surgery both in person and via a webinar. This is free to members and can be accessed via the webinar page within the Traders Club section of the website.

The new broker offering, FX Pro, will be available in the next couple of weeks. The spreads are low and the platform is very close to a professional Traders platform.

TRADING QUESTIONS

The Traders Club members had identified questions for discussion. A few of the topics covered included; reviewing the Renko strategy as a Technical Analysis Tool, what settings to use for Pivot Points, Stephen’s stop loss strategy when trading.

TRADING OPPORTUNITIES
The lean hogs bearish season is soon to start. The use of Stockopedia as tool to trade equities.

The next Traders Surgery is on Tuesday 27th July 2017. It is a 2hr FREE coaching session exclusively for members of our Traders Club. If you would like to join the Traders Club you can register here.

Outreach CCCU session – Goodwin Academy 16/05/17

by Leave a Comment

A great session was had by all at today’s outreach session for the year 12’s of the Goodwin Academy at Canterbury Christ Church University.

The aim of the session was to educate and give the students an introduction to the the world of Financial Markets. We looked at how various markets worked: Commodities, FX and Equities. We also used the Bloomberg suite of computers in the dedicated trading room at the University, to give the students an introduction to this most valuable tool. We also looked at some of the best (Buffett, Soros) and worst traders (Leeson) and what makes them tick. One of the more enjoyable elements of the day was the trading game, where the students were allowed to put their new found knowledge and skills into practice!

Already looking forward to next months Outreach session in June! If you’re interested in organising anything like this for your school please do get in touch.

Guest speaker at ActivTrades Trading tour 2017

by Leave a Comment

Saturday 13th May 2017, Leicester Square, London.

I was invited by ActivTrades and the Society of Technical Analysts to be one of the guest speakers at the ActivTrades event. I was joined by other market professionals over the course of the event to give the audience an insight into the psychology and mindset behind today’s trader.

I specifically looked at what causes destructive trading, the mindset of the successful trader and how the audience could improve their trading skills by improving their own psychology through the use of such tools as technical analysis and money management. We looked at how the market thinks using practical examples, and how people participate in the markets psychologically (along the way playing some games to get the point across) and how understanding both the markets and yourself is critical to your success. For those interested, the material used for my presentation,was based on my book #Trading Thought Mind Medicine for Traders & Investors.
