Here is the Agenda for the evening:
Volatility........Friend Or Foe?
This evening, Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club will be discussing strategies for making volatility work for us and not against us.
Here are just a few of the questions that Kevin will be answering:
How do we measure volatility?
How can we identifying high-probability breakout setups in advance?
What is the simple calculation that will enable us to place our stops at the right level with greater confidence of remaining in a good trade?
In addition, we shall be looking at how to integrate volatility-based indicators into our trading systems.
In fact, nearly everything that you've always wanted to know about volatility but were afraid to ask.
The Fascinating World Of Asymmetric Volatility
As your appetite will be well and truly whetted, we also have the pleasure of introducing you to Vito Turrito of the Traders & Investors Club, who has made the study of market volatility his pet project over the past few years.
Asymmetric Volatility describes the interesting phenomenon whereby negative shocks increase market volatility more than positive shocks of the same magnitude. And, yes, you've guessed it, as traders we want to know how we can make money using this knowledge.
Vito will be discussing:
The definition of asymmetric volatility and its leverage effect
The various types of volatility: historical, actual, implied, future, stochastic
Several models used to calculate volatility such as GARCH and Black-Scholes
The effects of asymmetric volatility in different markets such as gold, crude oil, FTSE100 and EURUSD
How to trade asymmetric and symmetric markets with examples of volatility-based strategies for Options and Futures
Vito will also be inviting your questions about his techniques.
We guarantee that you will never take volatility for granted again.
Our Month In The Market
The Traders & Investors Club is an indispensable element in the development of both new and experienced traders.
One of the major benefits of membership of the Traders & Investors Club is the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals.

This evening, we will be sharing even more of our latest trades and trading techniques.
Market Roundup And Open Forum
Including......."You Can Never Lose Money In Bricks And Mortar".........
In order to be a successful trader in the modern world, you must be aware of how the US dollar or an after dinner speech by Ben Bernanke will affect your stock, commodity and property portfolios. Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club will be presenting our regular summary of the recent global market action and throwing the floor open to the audience for their take on the current trading environment.
With residential property now 'cheap', this is a great opportunity to get into buy-to-let investments. Or is it..............?
Probably, the more often-asked question at the Traders & Investors Club is "What's next for the UK property market?"
This evening, we will be tackling this questions head on.
