“United Nations of Trading” sees Simon Townshend’s “Looking Behind the Chart” webinar

Jeff Quinto — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 14:48:52 +0000

In our first-ever webinar exclusively for Electronic Trader Mentoring Program traders, we had what one trader called a “United Nations of Trading“. In attendance were traders from England, The Isle of Man, Hong Kong, Germany, Slovenia, Poland, Italy, the US and Canada.
