Introduction:

A 2006 study by Professor Chris Bady and Richard Raymar of City University's CASS business school discovered that only one in five Spread Betting and Contract For Difference (CFD) trading accounts either made a profit or didnt lose money after transaction fees.  A 2004 study by Brad M Barber of the university of California also highlights that less than twenty percent of day traders make a profit after transaction fees. In asset markets such as the stock market, the ratio of winners to losers should tend towards being 50/50. The Institute cites two main reasons for this imbalance in the Spread Betting and CFD markets.

1. Understanding The Markets

The vast majority of independent traders do not commit to thoroughly researching the assets that they are synthetically replicating and therefore do not properly understand the dynamics that drive Stocks, Commodities, Currencies and Bonds. This results in the deployment of trading strategies that do not work. The most common of which is "Day Trading". This is mainly due to one or a combination of four key factors;-

i) The existence of a natural conflict of interest between independent traders and commission based brokerage businesses. Independent traders are unecessarily encouraged to deploy "high turnover" strategies.

ii) Aggressive marketing of quick fix "get rich quick" "day trading" strategies by brokerage businesses and individuals that do not take risk themselves.

iii) Dissemination of non-price sensitive news flows to private traders being communicated as "important" or "material" by brokerage businesses and individuals that have little or no experience in making decisions regarding asset allocation / portfolio management

iv) The vast majority of independent traders undertake "other" forms of employment and simply dont have the time to do their own research and effectively manage the risks of a protfolio.

2. Understanding and respecting leverage

The vast majority of independent traders do not fully understand the risks involved with using leveraged products. Consequently, private traders do not know how to effectively monitor and manage portfolio risk.

Although leverage provides opportunities for traders to expose themselves to much higher notional £££ amounts that they wouldnt normally be able too, it is important to understand that brokers providing leverage are financially incentivised to provide as much leverage as possible. This causes another conflict of interest between broker and client. Brokers that provide high amounts of leverage to clients also require from clients proportionatly tighter risk controls. These risk parameters are restrictive in providing opportunities for private traders to be long term profitable. The parameters are designed to encourage independent traders to deploy short term, mostly "day trading" strategies.

The Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management was established to educate, inform and coach aspirational individuals who are either currently trading with their own savings or are looking to trade with their own savings. We do this by only teaming up with brokers that have been through a rigorous broker examination and passed our due diligence tests.

Since starting  

This seminar is taken by Anton Kreil himself. You will be shown exactly how the top 5% of Long / Short Equities traders and portfolio managers in the world, construct and manage their trading books for long term, consistent profitability.

You will also be shown how Anton constructs and manages his portfolio. We obviously cant go into too much detail at this stage. The techniques Anton uses are a closely guarded secret, restricted only to those that choose to attend.  This one day seminar genuinely tells you how it is, from someone who has been there and continues to be at the highest levels of trading.

Approximately 75% of delegates that have attended this seminar in the past, are now profitable and making money. The Institutes success is measured solely by this number, in comparison to the 90% that lose money spread betting and trading CFD's.

Background:

Anton is a professional trader formerly of Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and JP Morgan. He opened his first trading account at the age of sixteen with money he saved doing evening and summer jobs at High School. Whilst at university and by the age of twenty he had built a highly profitable portfolio and was hired by Goldman Sachs to work on Wall Street, later returning to London to trade on their Long / Short European Equities desk. At the age of 26 he was a Vice President of JP Morgan European Equities. Anton retired from the Investment Banking industry at the age of 28, and after travelling the world, returned to London in the summer of 2008 to film the BBC T.V. programme “Million Dollar Traders” in which eight novices were trained for two weeks and asked to trade $1mln of private capital during the credit crisis in 2008. The results were staggering. The novices outperformed professional hedge fund managers by 4%. The show was aired in 2009 and received global cult status, reaching territories as far as Australia, catapulting Anton into the limelight.

Anton is currently residing in London and managing the Institutes global portfolio. As the CEO of the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management, Anton holds exclusive trading seminars each month in Central London in order to educate, coach, and mentor highly aspirational individuals into achieving their dreams of retiring wealthy.

Each seminar is restricted to 15 guests only and will sell out very quickly.
