July BOE and ECB Rate Decision Previews

Flash Rabbit is a self-taught trader. He trades part-time to supplement his main job, which is as an academic in a UK university.

Flash calls his fund a 'micro-macro' fund because he looks for macroeconomic trends and trades them with microscopic amounts of money. This enables him to stay relaxed. Trading is a way of figuring out how things are working in the world, and as he’s not reliant on it for all of his income, he can afford to make some stupid mistakes. Which he has done plenty of.
Nasty Falls And Difficult Calls

David Ristau is an avid, experienced fundamental and technical day trader, specializing in intraday trades that are based on value and fundamental indicators along with technical and entry/exit analysis.

David is a financial writer for Phil's Stock World (Phil Davis) under the name of The Oxen Group.

The Oxen Group was a former site that David ran before merging forces with Phil. The site was based around daily financial reports that David wrote about market options he saw on a daily basis.

David's daily financial articles pick various stocks that show single day opportunities to make 2-4%. David has found that a consistent 2-3% per day in fundamental day trades can be just as effective as long term options. In fact, since he started writing his reports, he has seen the value of his virtual trades increase over 100%.

David graduated from Lake Forest College in 2010 with a degree in Philosophy, Economics, and International Relations. He is from Cincinnati, OH and loves the Packers and Cubs!

Brian Monaghan is a financial spread bettor who is always looking for the next big market move. Therefore willing to take many small loses, as the big winners will (hopefully) cover them.

He likes a trade on FX and indices, but is a little scared of those volatile commodities. That doesn’t stop a dabble now and again, but he certainly keeps the deeds to the house in the back pocket when Brent Crude is involved.

But he can’t decide whether he prefers fundamental or technical analysis, so often makes “technically fundamental” trades. As long as both sides are saying to go the same way, lump on and hope for the best!
