Diploma in Trading and Technical analysis
An intensive 6-9pm evening programme spread over two weeks. Week one is spent on our trading floor in Canary Wharf. We teach the basics of Technical and Fundamental Analysis as well as introducing the importance of Trading Psychology. This part of the programme is designed to prepare each candidate for the 1.5 hour exam on the final day of the week in order to obtain the Amplify Trading Diploma in Financial Market Analysis.
Week two is spent putting into practice the theory learnt in week one. Each candidate has full access to Amplify's on-line trading room shared with a hedge fund and over 30 experienced traders, as well as use of our professional trading systems.
Under the guidance of Amplify's professional traders, candidates will trade on our simulated platform that maps the Live market in real time using a professional charting package. This enables the implementation of theory techniques learnt in real market conditions and gives candidates a taste of life as a professional trader.
We look forward to teaching those interested in how experienced traders trade from the trading floor. The sessions will be lead by our head of trading Piers Curran, who's most recent market views can be seen here on CNBC.
