In the past few years, global economic & political events have impacted your trading success, either positively or negatively. Improve your ability to interpret and capitalize on global events, business cycles, monetary policy and financial crises by mastering three key areas:
Trading Core Pro® : Trading requires decision-making under uncertainty. To increase your chances of success and minimize risk, you need a framework covering both practical trading experience and relevant theory. Trading Core Pro™ is the outcome of 20+ years of successful trading experience along with 10+ years of training students on a postgraduate university program for future positions in trading/investment management.
Global Macro Strategy: Understanding the limitations of frameworks (technical and fundamental) and incorporating macro and geopolitical insights will improve your trading and investment results.
Financial Crises: In short, markets are social creations. We extend your knowledge in how to view financial crises from a socio-political point of view. This is expecially relevant during times of financial crises. Our academic research and extensive trading experience are incorporated throughout to provide you with additional insights from The Socio-Political Theory of Crises (SPTC).
