• Ahmed Saleh, Institutional Investments Specialist
The two-day conference, held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Al Manama City, Kingdom of Bahrain, will feature more than a dozen currency trading experts from the Middle East, Europe and the US.
Boris Schlossberg, one of the best-known currency analysts in the US and a frequent commentator for Reuters, Bloomberg and CNBC, will address the Expo on both days. CHECK THIS
Schlossberg’
“This year forex markets are particularly fraught with risk and opportunity,”
Amro Abdu’s trading experience includes stocks and commodities as well as foreign exchange. Mr. Abdu will outline the benefits of "No Dealing Desk" trade execution. According to Mr. Abdu, this increasingly popular style of forex trade execution results in more liquidity and tighter spreads for the retail trader, since they are trading with competing bid and ask prices provided to FXCM from some of the world’s largest banks and financial institutions. Mr. Abdu’s presentation will be in Arabic.
Ahmed Saleh, a trader with long experience in foreign exchange, will describe a new product which bridges the gap between self-trading and system trading. Called the FXCM System Selector, it enables traders to choose components from over 40 backtested forex trading systems in order to assemble their own automatic system. Mr. Saleh’s presentation will be in Arabic.
