Ada, Mich. February 23, 2009 – David Morrison, a 20-year veteran in financial trading is the newest addition to GFT's global research team, and the first GFT analyst to provide broader analysis on financial markets for its traders throughout the UK, Europe and Australia.
Morrison will deliver research for GFT's derivatives products, including financial spread bets (for residents of the UK) and CFD's — one of fastest-growing trading instruments in Europe and Australia.
He has published articles covering broad economic outlook topics, as well as articles on particular trading strategies for traders using fundamental and technical analysis to trade the markets.
Morrison's previous experience includes managing trading desks, dealing on his own account and implementing successful risk-management strategies.
Before joining GFT, Morrison worked for Man Financial (now MF Global), where he started a spread betting desk that became profitable after 18 months. He also traded on LIFFE and for City Index.
"David's experience will give us the opportunity to offer analysis for customers trading the broad range of markets that CFD's and spread bets offer, which we haven't had in the past," said Kathy Lien, director of currency research at GFT. "I look forward to having him on our research team."
Based out of GFT's London office, Morrison will provide regular market analysis on spread bets and CFDs and provide education on the trading instruments GFT offers. He will also help create a focused market research and commentary site.
"I'm truly thrilled at the opportunity to develop a research portal that will promote our offerings to a wider audience, while also offering advanced research and market commentary to help traders get a better understanding of how the markets work," Morrison said. "This is a great time for GFT to build on its tremendous growth and success."
Morrison's extensive market knowledge combined with his personal trading experience will help GFT produce the essential information and analysis for traders. |
