Nick Leeson left school at the age of 18 and started work right in the heart of the City of London with Coutts and Company at 15 Lombard Street. Coutts were bankers to the Royal family as well as a host of other well known and financially successful clients. Shortly after Nick started work in the City, the banking world in the United Kingdom went through its biggest period of change ever with the start of the Big Bang era, a process of de-regulation of Financial Institutions. Awash with opportunity, as the City was in those days, Nick joined Morgan Stanley International, a premier America Investment Bank. Nick started to specialise in Japanese futures and options at this point, a particularly niche area at this time and was headhunted to Baring Securities to fulfil a similar role there. Travelling extensively throughout his time with Barings, notably Indonesia, Japan and Hong Kong, Nick settled in Singapore to activate the Banks seat on the Singapore International Monetary Exchange. His story from the trading floors of Singapore to the collapse is well chronicled but his experiences of that time prove invaluable in developing a day trading strategy that leaves no overnight positions. Nick Leeson’s expertise is in looking for entry and exit points around changes in direction, a strategy based on a mixture of sentiment and technical analysis.

My name is Ivy Heffernan, and I am interested in a wide range of professions. Economics and politics at the age of 18 is easy when your father has a Ph.D in economics, i have been taught to put together technical analyst and stay up to date with the changing markets as well as what is happening in the political world. Marketing: This one comes as quite a surprise. As I never really knew my true potential for it. It began when I offered to help someone once with their seo, marketing and Web design for free. I’m only 16 so I knew no one would pay me for something I ‘claimed’ to be good at. Although thanks to analytic reports, it showed that from the seo I was doing the website got more than double its daily views. On top of that the owner was more than happy with the Web design and for marketing. Well for someone who only started a month ago, getting 10+ people a week I’d say is pretty good. Summary: I think being a well rounded individual on all topics is the most important thing to everyone, with the changing economies it’s good to know that no matter what life throws at you, and no matter what job you are given, you’ll always be capable.
