About Me

I have spent over 20 years working in front-office trading roles across some of the world’s most significant financial centres, including London, New York, Tokyo, and Singapore. My career has taken me through investment banks and hedge funds, where I traded interest rate derivatives, foreign exchange, and automated trading strategies at an institutional level. That depth of live market experience is the foundation everything I do is built on.

I hold the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation and served as a former Board member of the CMT Association. I specialise in commodity markets, technical analysis, behavioural finance, risk management, and performance enhancement — areas I have studied, practised, and refined throughout my career.

Over the past decade, I have also been deeply involved in professional training and education, travelling to 21 countries and working with more than 40 major corporate clients. My clients have included Aramco, Barclays, BP, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JP Morgan, Nomura, Petronas, UBS, and many others. That combination of live trading and institutional education has shaped how I think about developing traders — not through shortcuts, but through structured methodology, psychological awareness, and disciplined process.

I have appeared on Bloomberg Television, sharing insights on market risks and emerging trends, and I continue to stay active in markets and professional discourse. My approach is grounded in the belief that sustainable trading performance comes from building the right mental and operational frameworks — not from chasing signals or reacting to noise.

I am currently Head of Learning and Development at Flux, the educational division of Onyx Capital Group, where I design and deliver programmes covering commodity markets, technical analysis, strategic trading, and risk management to professionals at all levels.
