A Trading Post Blog
Commentary on Trading Post and the Online Trading Industry

Jul 13 2008

Live in Vancouver

Trading Post sponsored the first live event in Vancouver in a LONG time - I can't exactly remember the last time we hosted a live workshop - but I'm sure it's over a year ago.

Pierre Charlebois who is creating an impressive profile of himself - as the sole advisor to the GTC Group, exclusive blogger (separate blogs)  at FXstreet.com and Trading Post, Senior Trading Coach with Trading Post and now live instructor.

On a beautiful, sunny summer Vancouver Saturday, Pierre hosted 14 traders at the National Nikkei Museum & Heritage Center in Burnaby (a suburb of Vancouver). Incidentally, traders in attendance came from as far away as Seattle and Vancouver Island.

I had my daughter in tow, but managed to drop in and talk to a few of the traders and it was a great group. There's just something about the live environment that is invigorating.

It's true that you need your solitary moments - it is you that ultimately needs to pull the trigger, but in the course of growing as a trader being around like-minded individuals is a great feeling.

We're all human and it's only natural to want some personal interaction.

I'm sure there will be more live events and workshops like this. I guess the question is, what do think would benefit you as far as a live trading event goes?

A small and significant (perhaps in my mind only) fact is that this is the 200th post in PipStop. Thanks for reading, and we'll reach the next 200 a lot quicker!
