Join the Club
At Traders Club International we pride ourselves on the experience of our trading experts and their ability to teach newcomers to the world of trading.
We speak to one of the members to see what attracted him to TCI and how his experience has been learning the art of trading.
Hi Kevin, tell us about your background before joining Traders Club International?
I have always had an interest in the financial markets, but up until recently have been too busy building my online business to learn more about it.
So you could say you were a relative newbie to the world of finance?
Yes, you could say that. Other than buying and holding some long term stocks, I didn´t really have much experience.
What drew you to TCI?
It´s a funny story actually. I sat next to Shaun Taylor, the founder of TCI on a flight to Malaga and he was telling me about this exciting new venture he had set up, and how he planned to educate people to trade. I then happened to jog randomly past the office in Nueva Andalucia and popped my head in. After chatting to the team I thought this could be my chance to finally get the proper education I needed before risking my money in the financial markets. Feeling excited, I signed up the following week.
How does your average day look?
First thing in the morning kicks off with a coffee while we discuss the events that have moved the markets overnight and what could move the markets in the day ahead. I then look at the main products I have been following and potential trade set ups for the day. During the day I have my alerts on to let me know when to trade, alongside watching educational tutorials online, reading financial books and bouncing ideas off the TCI traders.
What products are you focusing on at the moment?
With BREXIT such a big issue, I have been looking at the some of the currency pairs affected by this, in particular the pound against the US dollar. The guys in the office have been really helpful with interpreting how the fundamental news headlines have had an impact on the currencies and how to profit from them.
Can you give us any other tips on what you have learned?
Well, just the other day there was an earnings announcement for a company called Boeing. It came out with poor earnings but still managed to end positive on the day. The morale of the story is the bad news was already baked into the share price. Interesting behaviour to know as well if a company sells off on good earnings. This is where the experience of the guys in the office who have traded the markets for over 30 years has been helpful.
What do you like about sitting in the TCI office?
The main thing I like about sitting in the office is the guidance I get off the experts there. It feels like I have someone coaching me along on this journey and helping me avoid the pitfalls. I also like the community feel of the office as it feels like everyone is trying to help each other be profitable.
Any final words?
I´m excited by the prospect of where this journey will take me and to be able to make enough profit to live off the income from trading.
Good luck Kevin we wish you all the best!
