“Trofeu Conde de Riverola“, it’s how our Head of Content, Pere Monguió, called the Ping Pong Tournament that he organized in our office in the last weeks – a humoristic reference to “Trofeo Conde de Godó”, a famous Tennis tournament now called “Barcelona Open”… changing “Godó” for “Riverola”, the surname of the founder of FXStreet, Francesc Riverola 😉

Women in Forex – Triffany Hammond: “Trading fed so many parts of me that didn’t have fuel at the time”
Triffany Hammond is the only of the 8 women we interviewed five years ago who is not working in the Forex industry anymore. She made a life change that is radical and utterly natural at the same time. She did love trading during over 10 years but quit – “I was in the wrong industry for the work I was really doing for people”. She is now a life coach. Her reflection and understanding of who she is and what she – and in fact, we all – need in life is inspiring. It’s a long interview, but you – as a trader or not – might find stimulating ideas if you read it until the end!

Women in Forex – Carol Harmer: “It’s more a way of life than a job to me”
Last time we talked with Carol Harmer, it was in June 2010. After 30 years in the banking sector, she was at the front of her company, “Charmer Charts” to train independent traders in technical analysis. She still trains traders and has joined a new trading room as a coach. Describing herself as a workaholic, Carol says she does not have much of a private life, but it is a choice and she is happy that way. She truly believes it’s possible to find a balance between work and personal life. She finds regrettable though that so few women trade. “Until they gain that confidence that they are more than capable of trading”, she says that will not change.

Women in Forex – 5 years later
Five years ago, we published a series of interviews with women of the Forex trading world. We talked with 8 women with different backgrounds and profession and from different generations. But all passionately trading currencies. We wanted to know what they have been experiencing in the last 5 years: do they have the same job? Do they have the same opinions about men and women in Forex? How do they manage to balance private and professional lives?

What’s behind China’s stockmarket roller-coaster ride?
Irrational exuberance, a phrase used by the then-Federal Reserve Board chairman, Alan Greenspan, when referring to a market that is over-valued, could well be a line that accurately describes the current state of affairs in the Chinese stock market, not only by its prolonged rally out of touch with fundamentals, but also because is now openly seen as ‘a casino without rules’. Pretty much the same feeling I have when driving along the roads in any sub-developed Asian country, be it Bali, where I live, a good illustration. Bikes not respecting traffic lights, people not wearing helmets, kids riding bikes… Extrapolate the Bali road chaos but in Chinese equity markets, that’s the picture I get in my mind after reading the article and witnessing day in and day out irrational wild swings.
