Philip was then posted to Citibank's Middle East North African Training Centre in Athens/Beirut as the operations manager and a foreign exchange trainer. After returning to the United Kingdom Philip joined Union Bank of Switzerland as the Head of Learning and Development and introduced trading simulations as a safe way for new traders to trade. In 1993 he was appointed Head of Learning and Education for UBS in North America.

What is Mastering Candlestick Charts About?

This book which is the second in the popular series ‘Trading with Traders’, looks at the types of price charts that are widely used by traders around the world, both professional and retail. We shall concentrate on Candlestick Charts as these specific charts are the most popular with traders today. By the time you have finished this book you should have gained enough confidence to trade with some success on your dummy account using these charts. The only two ways to analyse the financial markets are by using fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Candlestick charts are a technical analysis tool. Successful traders do not use one approach and disregard the other; they use both approaches on various levels depending on their comfort zone or the particular strategy they want to implement. While fundamental analysis uses the approach of studying and analysing political, social and economic developments and the impact they have on the supply and demand of currency pairs and other assets, such as stocks and shares. Technical analysis is based around the various types of price charts that are available to the trader. As technical analysis uses the approach that the current price is the culmination of everything that has happened in the past, historical and current chart patterns help traders make correct trading decisions. When studying a price chart you are in effect viewing price action that has happened in the past and which should give you an idea of where the price is going in the future.
