Trading an Edge: The secret key to long term trading profits the very few understand

This lecture is potentially going to be the most important talk that you could ever watch to become a profitable trader.

This is the secret most traders never take the time to understand and the reason most new traders fail. They don't even want to understand this.

Any professional trader will tell you that you won't make money if you don't have an edge in trading.

It really is that simple.
But what is an edge?

You have probably heard the term, but after working with many traders over the years and being able to generate consistent profits myself year after year, I now know for certain that this is the number one reason people lose money.

In this talk, I will show you how real traders make money and how they play an edge in the market that allows them to continuously take money from the mass rookies out there.

After watching this talk, you will take your trading to new levels.

Speaker: Jason Graystone


3:20pm - 3:50pm

How to trade the US Election

Just four days after the London Trader Show comes a market event of almost equal importance – the US election. With Joe Biden shuffling slowly to one side, Kamala Harris has livened up the race and closed the gap to Donald Trump.

FX Effects has built a strong reputation for our coverage of elections – pulling all nighters on various occasions to keep our clients up to speed with how the election is panning out as the polls shut.

The only way in which we are able to do this however is by knowing the election inside out before the vote – and we are looking to share that experience and insight with attendees of the London Trader show this year.

We will look at the polling and the swing states of course – but we’ll also try give attendees some hints as to the bell-weather states to watch – to try and identify trends and voting patterns – so you can trade the election before the rest of the market. This is a highly uncertain vote – with two very different candidates – in a very uncertain world. It will move markets – and we intend to help you be on the right side of things come 6th November.
Speaker: Graham Williams, CEO, FX Effects

Mastering the psychology behind trading

The psychology behind trading is essential for success in the financial markets. Understanding how emotions can influence decision-making is crucial in maintaining a disciplined and rational approach to trading.

One of the key aspects of mastering trading psychology is learning to control emotions such as greed, fear, and impatience. By developing a solid trading plan and sticking to it, traders can avoid making impulsive decisions based on emotions.

Furthermore, having a strong mindset and being able to handle losses and setbacks is important in the world of trading. Developing resilience and the ability to learn from mistakes can help traders grow and improve their skills over time.

Additionally, practicing mindfulness and staying focused on the present moment can help traders make better decisions and avoid getting caught up in past losses or future uncertainties.

Mastering your emotions in trading is a continuous learning process that can lead to improved performance and success in the financial markets.
