Trading Psychology

The London Academy of Trading (LAT) is an award-winning, dual-accredited provider of financial trading education and was the first academy in the UK to offer accredited and regulated qualifications in trading. We pride ourselves on providing practical and vocational training courses, developed to help individuals to invest or trade in financial markets, or for those looking to enhance their employment opportunities within financial markets. 

We help our learners apply their knowledge in a real-world, real-time environment, understanding the fundamental and practical aspects of trading. Since our creation in 2010, we have focused on four specific pillars of knowledge to help students improve their skills and understanding: fundamental analysis, technical analysis, trading psychology and risk management.

About the Course:
Trading psychology is a key factor to successful trading. Traders who have mastered the art of trading psychology don’t act on bias or emotion, leaving them with better chances of yielding a profit and minimising losses on the markets. Our 5-week course will help you develop your knowledge of trading psychology and techniques for careful decision making to help you enhance your successes on the markets. 

Through a combination of live interactive online sessions, LATs expert tutor will utilise his 18 years of expertise to assess your trader personality and give you the opportunity to get ahead of the game by learning common trading mistakes.
