It’s been another busy month of lively and insightful events for Nigerian traders. One of the biggest highlights was FXTMPartners' E-Trading and Investment Summit in Port Harcourt on 15-21 November.

Over 250 people attended the week of lectures and workshops from across the country – with two guests going home with a brand-new Android smart phone in the lucky draw.

Immediately following the Summit, on 21-22 November, 70 local people in Lagos attended FXTM's seminar for a complete introduction on Foreign Exchange Markets, hosted by FXTM’s Research Analyst Lukman Otunuga.

The all-day seminar covered a range of key concepts, themes and strategies for those new to the FX industry – many of whom returned the following day for the workshop.  

Feedback was particularly positive about how engaging the event was; with the chance to ask questions and meet other traders.

FXTM is delighted to congratulate the Velokhaya cycling team for a phenomenal result in their final cycling event of 2019! The challenging Discovery 947 Ride Joburg took place on Sunday, 17 November and wove across almost 95km of Johannesburg.

With its fastest rider’s impressive finishing time of 2:15mins, Velokhaya were among the fiercest of the competitors and finished well within the Top 10!

This thrilling race concludes a fantastic year of action-packed events, including the Nelson Mandela Legacy Ride for Hope, the Satellite Classic and more. Achieving 28th place out of a total of 493 teams in the recent Wines2Whales event was a particularly memorable highlight!

FXTM is looking forward to another adrenaline-fuelled event with the Velokhaya Cycling Team as part of their successful partnership this year. Following on from six thrilling cycling events since August 2019, the team will be taking on the Discovery 947 Ride Joburg event on 17 November in Johannesburg. This gruelling ride spans across nearly 95km of South Africa’s biggest city, and will start and finish in Riversands Commercial Park.

The not-for-profit organization Velokhaya was initially set up in 2004 to inspire and develop young people in Cape Town through education and sport. Through competing in these varied cycling challenges, they have helped hundreds of vulnerable young people who have become disenfranchised or misled into gang life.

Some key highlights of their inspirational journey have included the high-profile Ride4Hope event organised for Nelson Mandela’s centennial, and impressively securing 28th place out of 493 teams in the recent Wines2Whales event.

FXTM was delighted to make a return to Polokwane, South Africa for another installment of the successful series The Foundation of Online Trading. Led by our industry expert Theunis Kruger, this event was designed with first-time traders in mind and provided a structured roadmap for them to begin their online trading journey.

The seminar took place on the 26 October and welcomed enthusiastic guests from throughout the region. Thanks to our previously successful seminar in Polokwane last year, FXTM decided that we shouldn't miss out on hosting another seminar in a city where we get a nice balance of experienced and non-experienced traders alike engaging with Mr Kruger and our highly-skilled team of account managers.

Topics covered included:

• The three foundational pillars of online trading
• How the forex market works and how to navigate it
• Tips and insights to improve their trading skills
• The Moving Average Spring Strategy
• FXTM’s range of unique products and services

There was plenty of opportunity for participants to ask their most pressing industry questions — and our trading expert was happy to answer!
