”

As you progress through five days of intensive training you will develop a broad range of skills within financial markets.

• Develop a deep fundamental understanding of today’s financial markets in order to trade across all asset classes in response to breaking financial news and analysis.

• Gain first-hand experience in the importance of behavioural finance and trading psychology within an environment of uncertainty and risk.

• Learn to understand and analyse financial markets by applying advanced technical analysis techniques across multiple asset classes.

• Apply mentoring support and advice from experienced traders at Amplify Trading as they continuously monitor your performance and progression.

• Understand how to take advantage of contemporary news events and market volatility.

• See how in reality standard economic theory may not apply within an expected timeframe and the resulting challenge to risk management practices.

• Create a base of experience and knowledge on which to build continued improvement for your trading on completion of the programme.

All candidates that join us on this course will have the entire cost refunded if they then decide to join our trading floor on the full ‘career’ programme at any point in the future.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR TRADERS

“I really valued the fact that the course was given by actual market practitioners in a

live market environment.”

The skills I acquired will allow me to improve my investment decisions, by complementing my existing fundamental analysis skills with technical analysis skills. In particular, I really valued the fact that the course was given by actual market practitioners in a

live market environment. In addition, the opportunity to sit amongst the traders on the floor rather than just in a class-room, gave me a much better understanding of what a trading floor is actually like and what trading day in day out is really all about.

JONATHAN RAWICZ: CFA ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, QUILTER

YANA PANKRATOVA, AMPLIFY TRADER & INSEAD MBA I joined Amplify to fulfil my long term dream to become a trader and to study markets. Throughout the program I learned how to understand what fundamental factors drive price activity, gain good competency in tech analysis and I applied the risk management techniques

taught. I started trading on the live markets focussing on fixed income products such as the German Bund and US Treasury Bonds. I continue to trade with Amplify building on my live market experience in my progression towards joining a Hedge Fund on completion of my MBA.
