LAT Joins Forces With FXCM UK to Launch New Trading Programme

The London Academy of Trading (LAT) has launched a Financial Trading Programme in association with online spread betting and CFD broker Forex Capital Markets Limited ("FXCM UK"). This new course marks another step forward in LAT's expansion as it remains the only accredited education provider of financial trading in the UK.

FXCM UK is a leading provider of online foreign exchange (forex) trading, CFD trading, spread betting and related services. Working with FXCM UK, LAT aims to help clients further develop their trading techniques, with particular emphasis on trading psychology and risk management. FXCM UK clients will get the chance to participate in live webinars, hosted by professional traders and guest speakers, with the exclusive opportunity to pose questions to the experts.

Ilies Larbi, Managing Director at FXCM UK, commented, "We are excited to work with LAT and look forward to providing our retail trading audience with access to additional high quality training and trading techniques while they trade on our innovative and award winning platform".

As part of the Financial Trading Programme, FXCM UK clients will be given personal review sessions with LAT traders and mentors. These sessions will help each individual create their own trading plan, presenting them with a clear way forward in their career once their course has ended.

Paddy Osborn, Academic Director at LAT, said "We are thrilled to be working with FXCM UK., to help their UK clients develop even more structured and robust trading strategies."

"Our one-on-one reviews include a range of trade plans, while our one-month course and series of interactive webinars focus on fundamental and technical analysis, trading psychology and risk management," he added.

LAT alumni have an excellent track record of achievement in successfully climbing the career ladder in the finance world. With the knowledge and skills they have acquired at LAT, many have gone on to fill roles in the City of London as well as other financial hubs worldwide. Exceptional graduates also have the opportunity to join LAT as trading mentors, or may advance to our professional trading desk to trade company funds on live accounts.
