Dr. Brett Steenbarger - Process Driven Trading: Recent Innovations In Trading Psychology
This presentation will draw upon Dr. Steenbarger’s recent work in proprietary trading group, hedge fund, and investment bank settings to show how traders can improve their performance by breaking trading down into component elements and developing best-practice strategies for each element. Specific examples will be used, so that participants will come away with concrete ideas to apply to their own trading practice.

Jason Davis - Beating the Market Part 1 - Market Anomalies
To beat markets you need insight; that is something that not everyone knows or acts on. In this session Jason will guide you through a process of understanding what it takes to beat the market (and your fund manager), starting with an explanation as to why it isn’t ludicrous for you to think you can take on and beat highly paid professionals. He will then list the dozen or so market inefficiencies he has learned after more than a decade of research.

Colin Nicholson - The Missing Link
Most experienced investors have progressed to the stage where they have a written investment plan and developed the discipline to carry out the strategy and tactics set out in it. Many investors then feel that they have finished their education process and do not move on to the next level, which is to seek constant improvement and execution of their plan. Colin will show what else is needed to move beyond simply being a good investor. The great investors are never satisfied and seek continually to improve what they do and how they do it.

Tony Plummer - Recurrence and Revolution in Financial Markets and Economic Activity
An extraordinary form of order underlies fluctuations in financial markets and economic activity, which generated by the human need to do things together, is reflected in rhythmic oscillations and specific price patterns. Most major trend moves are thus inherently predictable. Recognising this predictability makes technical analysis such an immensely powerful tool for asset allocation. Tony will focus on the way the human brain is programmed to generate group behaviour, and on how this creates recognisable price patterns in asset markets and rhythmic oscillations in economic activity. Knowing where you are in the big trend means you can plan for the future.
