Meet the Live Video Speakers: Nick Batsford
Nick’s ID Card* From: United Kingdom
* Lives in: London
* Age: 52
* Years in the markets: 30
* Favorite currency: GBP
Nick Batsford is the host of “TipTV”, a show that has been recently added to FXStreet’s Live Video Channel. Nick receives professional traders and advisers every day to offer tips and trading ideas across multiple investment betting instruments. We wanted to know more about him and his show, that has been existing for more than two years now.
Nick, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Well, for a start my name is Nick ‘The Moose’ Batsford, and one of the most common questions I get asked is why I’m known as The Moose. The answer is that it’s a nickname from when I was a broker and you will need to take me to a court of law before I spill the beans on why.

Meet the Live Video Speakers: Dale Pinkert
Dale’s ID Card* From: Chicago, Illinois
* Lives in: San Diego, California
* Age: 69
* Years in the markets: 39
* Favorite currency: DXY for broad view of dollar biases
Dale Pinkert has been the host of the Live Analysis Room for 2 years and a half now – more than 540 editions already! The format of his daily show has changed througout the months, but his particular and utterly friendly style hasn’t. His personality, together with his very long experience in the markets (he sometimes refers to himself as a “dinosaur”), are the ingredients that have built a strong community of traders, who share and exchange views every day. And of course, another basic component of his successful program are the live interviews that he conducts every single day with traders, economists and analysts of varied backgrounds. That’s every weekday at 13:00 – 15:00 GMT (9:00 – 11:00 EST).
We wanted to know more about him, so you also would know him better. Here are his answers.
Let’s start from beginning… How did your career in trading start?

Yohay’s ID Card* From: Israel
* Lives in: Barcelona
* Age: 38
* Years in the markets: 10
* Favorite currency pair: EUR/USD, it’s a love/hate relationship…
Yohay Elam is one of the speakers of our recently launched Live Video channel. He tells us a bit more about himself and his new program, “Europe Live Market Open”, that he hosts every day from 8:00 to 9:00 GMT (4:00 – 5:00 EDT).
For those of our readers who don’t know you yet, tell us a bit more about yourself… When did you start trading currencies and how did it happen?
I started trading currencies after a friend sent me an invitation to forex course back in 2005 and it certainly seemed more interesting than my IT job.
Simplifying things but protecting the user
In an effort to make the user experience eas
ier and faster, all websites and apps are continuously simplifying things: less confirmations, less data to give, less steps and buttons to click to activate an option, subscribe to a newsletter or join an online meeting. FXStreet is of course following this trend – and is working hard to implement these principles even more with our 3.0 version to be released next year – to be in tune with the needs of the users.
But we believe there are borders not to be crossed. You can not drive the users to make, in just one click, irreversible and massive actions by mistake or ignoring all the consequences. That’s what happened to our COO and Partner, Setxi Fernandez last night on LinkedIn app. Here is the story, that he published in a post on LinkedIn this morning.
