In December 2009 Futures Magazine will hold its sixth "virtual trade show," which allows traders to watch valuable on-line presentations, shop for products and services covering the business of trading and pick up valuable trading ideas and tips, all without leaving their home or trading desk. Two headliners coming back for the December show are traders Al Brooks, who will show new ways to trade the e-mini S&P and George Kleinman, who will show how the wisdom of Jesse Livermore applies to today’s markets.
Free On-line webcasts will provide detailed power point presentations with trading strategies and examples, along with live question and answer sessions with presenters. Watch this spot to register. It’s free. The I-Trade Show is for all traders of futures, options, forex and stocks; people who trade anything that moves.
