About Us

As founders and contributors of Trading Halo, we have over 30 years combined market knowledge in the Financial Services industry. Not only have we worked at the very highest levels for market leading Brokers, but we have also spent many years trading the markets ourselves. These experiences have given us an invaluable insight into what makes a profitable trader, and what holds many back from achieving regular success!

About Us: Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the performance of all traders, both novice and expert alike. We will share our market knowledge and experience, as well as providing an insight into successful trading behaviour, so that every aspiring trader has the full suite of tools to enable them to maximise their potential.

About Us: The Team

    Chris

Chris started his career in equities as an execution dealer for a large stock-broking firm before going on to run their derivatives desk. From there, he went on to join Smart-Live Markets and then GKFX, where he assisted in their pioneering of MT4-based spread-betting and became a senior trader running large positions across a variety of asset classes including FX, Metals, Commodities, Indices and Single Stocks.

Chris still works in the FX industry and is currently Head of Trading at a large brokerage based out of London. Away from Trading, Chris is an avid golfer (or at least, tries to be)

    Alex

Alex joined City Index as a Junior Dealer in 2000, going on to become deputy head of their FX, Bonds and Commodities Desk. In 2006 he left to take on the challenge of setting up the Spread Betting and CFD desk at ODL Markets, where he was head for 4 years covering its acquisition by FXCM. Alex then left to setup the Broker GKFX where he was Managing Director for a number of years, taking it from startup to a highly profitable business operating in over 20 countries around the world.

More recently Alex has acted as a consultant to the Financial Services industry, and has been responsible for successful projects such as implementing the MT4 platform into ETX, and launching Broker Cashback services to Traders. Alex enjoys keeping fit and golf.
