Todd Gordon - Contra-trend Trading With Elliott Wave and Fibonacci Levels
(Replacing Kathy Lien)
Are the old adages “Trade with trend” or “The trend is your friend” ALWAYS true? Hardly! Markets only trend about 20 percent of the time, so what about the other 80 percent? In a candid look at how a professional trader navigates the markets using the razor tight levels defined by Elliott Wave and Fibonacci analysis, Todd will show you how the pros consistently contra-trend trade, while at the same time maintaining tight risk management. He will then share three strategies for identifying market tops and bottoms hours before they develop, and lay out how to move in and attack with expert trading tactics.

Tony Plummer - Critical Ratios: The Link Between Asset Market Oscillations and Fundamental Trends
The learning mechanisms that are innate in financial markets are reflected in the influence of a small range of natural mathematical ratios. These ratios provide a critical link between rapidly developing financial market oscillations and slowly evolving fundamental trends. They therefore provide clearly-defined decision-making zones relating contra-trend corrections to underlying trends. Tony will show why these zones emerge and how they can be calculated. If you recognise the ranked importance of these zones, you can determine the strength of your response to them.

Satyajit Das - “The Botox Economy – Postcards from the GFC”
Over two years into the GFC, unprecedented government intervention has slowed the decline but the effects of their actions are not certain. New bubbles in government bonds, emerging markets and commodities are developing. In 2006, Satyajit Das, provided a highly prescient insight into the structure and risk of the world financial system exposing the problems that are now becoming readily apparent. Das will look at the massive and unprecedented de-leveraging of the financial system taking place and how that will alter the financial landscape.

Charles Browne - The Real Reasons Why Traders and Investors Need Rules
This presentation will explore and challenge the popular belief that traders and investors need rules because they "lack discipline". There are in fact other important reasons why rules are necessary, but are these are not related to discipline. The latest neuroscience research will be presented to debunk the popular belief that traders need rules to control their emotions. Charles will also demonstrate how the concept of a "trading rule" is widely misunderstood, and how this contributes to difficulty in developing and following a trading plan. This will enable you to better understand why so many traders fail, and how you can improve your potential as a successful trader.

Jason Davis - Beating the Market Part 2 – Devising a Strategy to Monetise an Anomaly
Following on from Part 1, Jason will show how trading strategies can be constructed using a couple of previously identified market anomalies.
