Introduction to Financial Markets and Trading is a trading course targeting beginners.

The programme then moves on to look at a day in the life of a trader, before giving you a good overview of fundamental and technical analysis and evaluation of macro-economic data releases. We look into the topic of trading psychology and examine the effects this can have on trading performance.

You will be fully supported by our team throughout the day, helping you through the trading experience.
