We’re delighted to announce that the launch of our new educational initiative, the Financial School of Investing and Trading (FIT), has been a resounding success so far!
As a global broker, we‘re committed to helping traders of all experience levels get more from the markets. FIT, which is introduced in a new series of free interactive seminars, is comprised of a series of workshops, and specifically designed for new trading enthusiasts in mind. Its main aim is to introduce the many potential benefits that online trading has to offer, whilst educating people on the risks as well.
