Special Feature
“The Trading Academy shows that no matter what your background, with the right tools and support, anyone can learn to trade the markets,” says Belsham. “It was hugely encouraging to see John and the other competitors demonstrating big improvements in their trading over a matter of days and weeks, and developing the skills that will allow them to keep going beyond their Trading Academy experience. We hope, after watching the show, people from a host of backgrounds will be inspired to give it a go themselves.” The turmoil in the financial markets has encouraged ordinary people who are taking a much more hands on approach towards investment. It has also mobilised retail investors to take a greater interest in the opportunities market movements can create for them, and there is now a real demand to learn more about the techniques they have at their disposal.
For those with an interest in the financial markets and an appetite to learn to trade, Walsh has a clear message: “It can seem so daunting, but with the right support, anyone can develop the skills and confidence to trade. The key is not to gamble and to have a strategy for every trade you make. Remember: you control the trade; the trade does not control you!”
