By 8.00 am the first 50 traders were already registered and making their way to the live trading floor where expert trader Ross Maxwell was analysing position he had on the FTSE and Forex markets.

By 9.00 am over 200 people were already seated in the Traders’ Theatre to hear Simon Campbell officially open the show and outline the events in store for the day.

By lunchtime, the attendance was approaching 700 and still more delegates were arriving.

But why?

When asked why they had chosen to attend the event, most delegates replied that since they managed their own stocks and forex trading portfolios personally they needed to keep learning and absorbing information from other traders, speakers and mentors – all of which was in abundance at the IX Show!
