Treaders Paul Wallace And Malte Kaub Hosting A Trading Boot-Camp On Behalf Of ActivTrades
How snap decisions can lead to consistency in trading
Consistent success in trading requires far more than following the market trends and global news. A large part of success in trading rests on managing psychology and emotions. The theory of blink decision making, a subject we will be focusing on in the boot-camp, means that you train yourself to make the best instinctive decision.

Blink Trading Seminar In Timizzer
How snap decisions can lead to consistency in trading
The fundamental principle of trading is based on an understanding of the market and how to manage risk. These are the initial building blocks every individual needs to grasp in order to operate responsibly in the market. Trading can be seen more as art than science. Our aim is to blend elements of both to improve trading performance. Consistent success in trading requires far more than following the market trends and global news. A large part of success in trading rests on managing psychology and emotions.

Executive Interview: Alex Pusco, CEO At ActivTrades
Established in 2005 in London’s “Square Mile”, ActivTrades is an UK regulated forex brokerage which has geared its offering very much toward the UK market since its inception. This is apparent in the company’s website wording where “Spread Betting”, a term used in the United Kingdom in order to for traders withdraw their profits without tax liability due to its classification as gambling rather than trading, is prevalent. The company extended its service to support MetaTrader 5 in March last year, and has enjoyed successful acquisition of clients in Europe recently, including their presence at Germany’s World of Trading Conference. ActivTrades also offers institutional services to portfolio managers and IBs.

Alex Pusco, CEO At ActivTrades – “10 Entrepreneurs Reveal Who Inspires Them”
ALEX PUSCO, CEO of global trading company ActivTrades: “The only person who ever really influenced any of my behaviours and professional direction was my father, and the most important quality that he inspired in me with was recognising the value of our business relationships and how to prioritise the human factor against cold facts and figures. Moreover, it was my father who made me discover the rudiments of stock broking and financial products when I was a teenager, and taught me to always look towards the USA. He would say: ‘Whatever works in the US will come to Europe in less than five years’ time’. And so it was with online trading.”
