Trading The Fundamentals With Instructus
Giles Johnston began his career on the floor of the Stock Exchange, during the Big Bang in 1986, trading for Nat-West markets. Subsequently, he joined Deutsche Bank and then Citigroup where he was Managing Director responsible for Energy trading.
Mat Belton started trading with Nat-West markets in 1985 before joining Bank of America and subsequently Citigroup as a specialist financials trader, where he managed substantial proprietary trading portfolios.
The first thing that you will notice is that there is hardly a technical indicator in sight. Instead, trading decisions are based upon research and a thorough understanding of the financial instrument under consideration before a position is taken.
Giles and Mat believe that strong companies are strong for a reason and they will not take a contrarian position without having a very good reason for doing so. Furthermore, they are not proponents of the stop loss. Instead, they hedge their positions by taking advantage of the correlations between stocks, market sectors and other asset classes.
