London Super Conference 2017

14 – Anton Kreil – Dividends, Distributions and Trading for Income 

Video length: 49 Minutes London Super Conference 2017 Collection ITPM

In this Video, Anton Kreil, Managing Partner of the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management, debunks with real statistics the myth of Trading for Income that is so aggressively pushed by Charlatan Trading Educators who want you to believe that obtaining a regular income from Trading is possible, so they get paid an income by you as one of their students. Anton then goes on to show you the real definitions and methods of how you obtain a regular income from Financial Markets through Dividends and Distributions and how to structure several Investment and Trading Books at the same time, so your downside in Financial Markets becomes very close to Zero and your upside becomes unlimited over longer time frames. Anton also shows you how to achieve this in Global Tax Efficient Structures that work for all nationalities including U.S. Citizens who by law must pay U.S. taxes whereever they “earn” Income in the World. The result is a method and approach to “trading for Income” that has been tried and tested by High Net Worth individuals over many decades, that is cost effective and immediately applicable for even novice Investors and Traders on a global basis.

Anton no longer provides Mentoring Programs and is officially retired from completing Mentoring Programs directly with Institute Students. Anton manages all Mentoring Programs as an oversight function, taken with Institute Senior Trading Mentors from the back end of the Institutes Trading Infrastructure.

15.Tristan Edwards – Technical Analysis – What, Why, When

Video length: 31 Minutes

In this Video, Senior Trading Mentor Tristan Edwards, who is a qualified Chartered Market Technician (CMT) shows you how to use Technical Analysis to your advantage as a Trader. Contrary to popular belief in the global Retail Trading Community, Technical Analysis is not used by Professional Traders as a “Majority” solution to Trading. In the vast majority of Professional Trader Systematic Processes when trading Financial Markets, Fundamentals are used in the Majority and Technical and Price Action indicators in the Minority. This however does not mean that Technicals do not have a place in an overall Systematic Process and are not useful. They are useful and they do have a specific purpose. Tristan begins by showing you their true purpose and true uses, and then shows which Technical and Price Action Indicators are used by Professional Traders most often, why they are used and how they are used by Professional Traders. Tristan also shows you in this Video his own personal biases when constructing Charts and which Indicators he personally finds the most useful and how he tailors them to his advantage.

Tristan Edwards is the real deal. Tristan worked for Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM), Brevan Howard and Trafalgar Capital before setting up his own Hedge Fund and running it out of Singapore in 2013. Tristan was the only Hedge Fund Manager in Asia to raise over $100mln from investors in 2013 for his fund.

Video length: 33 Minutes

In this Video, Hedge Fund Portfolio Manager / Trader Rushin Shah (as a guest speaker at the Institute’s Annual London Super Conference) takes you through the entire investment spectrum of a Hedge Fund. Rushin also shows you the investment process of how Hedge Fund Managers make decisions on what to buy and sell, and when to buy and sell. This is especially useful for Retail Traders whose aim is to emulate the approach of successful Hedge Fund Managers in their own Retail Trading Brokerage Accounts and for University Students who want to obtain interviews and jobs within the Hedge Fund industry. By understanding the real inside knowledge of the Hedge Fund investment process, candidates for Hedge Fund employment gain an informational advantage over their peers in the application stage and at interview stage, because the Hedge Fund Managers interviewing candidates will not understand how young Retail Traders know this information as it is only available from industry insiders. Anyone who watches this Video and understands the process will impress all Hedge Fund Managers with their industry knowledge.

Rushin’s Seminar perfectly complements the Institute’s flagship educational courses – the Professional Trading Masterclass Video Series and the Professional FOREX Trading Masterclass Video Series. So if you are considering completing either of these educational courses, Rushin’s Seminar will give you a perfect overview of what to expect.

On a standalone basis however, Rushin’s seminar is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the most successful Hedge Fund Managers in the financial markets globally of the last 15 years working as part of a $20 Billion Dollar Hedge Fund group in New York.
