Trading using Volume and Order Flow Analysis

About Us
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.

Flexible Study Options:

With students in mind we offer flexibility with all of our courses. We have developed our online delivery methods to enable continued interaction for all students, to enable you to extract the maximum benefit from whichever course you choose. 
• You can pause and restart your course at any time. 
• You can upgrade from one course to another by just paying the difference in course fees, not the whole fees for both courses

About the Course:
Futures market prices, like all markets, are influenced by supply and demand, measured by the volume of buyers and sellers among traders and investors. This course provides techniques to identify this money flow to increase the chances of trading success.

The big market players like investment banks, pension funds, investment funds and hedge funds have a critical influence on price movements and market trends, but it is possible for canny day-traders to use this information to identify the most likely future direction of the market. By analysing futures market volume and order flow, it is possible to see which way the big players are moving, and individual traders can use this information to follow them and maximise profits. 

This course introduces a series of volume and order flow strategies for futures traders, applying proven, simple, replicable systems with carefully managed risk to achieve consistent trading success and profitability.

Delivered by an experienced futures trading professional, you'll learn the key concepts of volume and order flow analysis, as well as the practical applications of these concepts. Lectures will involve extensive examples to illustrate how to use these techniques in real-time markets to enable you to implement them immediately into your trading. 

The course comprises six interactive online sessions of 90 minutes over a period of three weeks. It includes access to futures demo trading platform to enable you to practise the techniques, as well as a dedicated one-to-one online discussion with the tutor after the course to discuss and refine your chosen strategies.
