TRADING & FINANCIAL MARKET ANALYSIS
A TWO DAY INTENSIVE PROGRAMME ON GLOBAL MARKETS
AN INTENSIVE INTRODUCTION TO TRADING GLOBAL MARKETS
Amplify Trading would like to invite you to
London’s financial centre for a two day weekend
intensive training programme incorporating all
the core concepts of their renowned financial
market training.
Advances in technology mean you now no longer
need to be based on the trading floor to access
financial markets. This has liberated many new
traders but also greatly increases their
responsibility to understand the products they
trade before they risk their own funds.
New traders must understand how inflation,
interest rates, economic data, market sentiment
and geo-politics all effect the relative valuations
of the assets they trade.
interdependencies between asset classes. In
addition to this valuable insight into global
macro, clients will receive lectures covering
behavioural finance, allowing them to leverage
their experience and move towards becoming a
consistently profitable trader. Over two days you
will be taken through these core concepts, taken
directly from our flagship career programme, in a
step-by-step process by our Head of Trading,
Piers Curran.
In addition to the theory candidates will be asked
to take part in a number of simulations which
replay market events, allowing candidates to see
first hand what happened to the assets they
trade, and why.
Looking at areas across all asset classes, this two
day programme will delve deep into Global
Macroeconomics, fundamental market drivers
allowing new traders to interpret changing
