Chairman’s Club September 2008

The Chairman’s Club was formed to help individual traders manage their own money, using the very best, professional-level research and tools developed by Connors Research.

Over the years since our founding in 1996, we have attracted an elite membership that shares certain fundamental characteristics:

Chairman’s Club members share a conviction that rigorous quantified research can identify trading strategies that outperform market indexes -– and that this is how professionals trade at hedge funds and institutional trading desks.

Chairman’s Club members are confident in their own abilities to learn, adapt, and apply professional grade quantified research to their own trading.

Chairman’s Club members are comfortable with using what are typically considered “scientific disciplines”.These include:

A fundamental trust in data (not emotion) as the chief factor in making trading decisions

A basic curiosity to test new ideas –- allocating capital gradually to those  ideas that produce the best results

The self-discipline to make a continuous effort to improve their trading routine and results through the application of new research.

Through a combination of online meetings, workshops, classes, and a proprietary portfolio management/signals delivery platform (The Machine), Chairman’s Club provides the education and tools to help any trader invest in themselves and embark on a proven path to better trading.

Forex & Trading – Foreign Exchange Course

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.
