Adeel Shah: Full-Time Trader (Futures)

When did you attend your course with Amplify Trading and what programme were you on?

I attended the Career Programme in January 2016.

Why did you choose Amplify Trading?

After undertaking extensive research and attending an Amplify open day, my decision became easy. Amplify was the most professional organisation I found. The location, technology and expertise were impressive.

Was there one specific part of the course you found most beneficial?

To pick one specific part of the course is no easy task as the whole career programme was beneficial. If I had to pick a specific area then it would be how to apply the fundamentals and data releases to place a trade. Although I already had previous experience of swing/position trading I had no idea how to trade the news intra-day. I am now confident of when and how to trade news/data releases.  The career program teaches trading psychology, technical analysis, macro fundamentals and risk management. These are essential for the aspiring intra-day trader.

Would you recommend Amplify to a friend?

I would happily recommend Amplify to friends. The team at Amplify from the mentors, who strive and will the students on to succeed to Anthony, Piers and Will who constantly keep you informed of the fundamentals and breaking news.

What are you doing now? are you still trading?

After finishing the career programme I traded Amplify funds for a few months which was an excellent experience.  I am now trading my own funds and continue to develop my trading skills.
