Trading Psychology Talk London 2020 by Tom Hougaard Part 2 of 3

I haven't actually really thoroughly introduced myself in the sense of how did I end up being here about 25 years ago I read this book I was a young man in Denmark I was just turned 20 and this book was my epiphany I realized I want to go to Britain I want to study so I

read liars poker again where could I study London School of Economics etc etc I work two jobs because back then there was no government support so I've put I took myself through two universities degrees by my own real oddity but I was stinking lucky because in 1992 Britain was fighting a currency relationship

they had called the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and it was a dreadful dreadful thing to be part of because it meant they had to protect their currency within a ban versus all the European currencies and I was incredibly lucky ladies and gentlemen because if I had walked down to the bank just a month

earlier I would have gotten nowhere near the amount of money that I did when I exchanged my Danish Kroners into British pounds and I'm more or less it doesn't happen often but I'm more or less caught the low I made an extra 30% on my savings which meant that I could afford to take a master's degree at University

of Birmingham where I studied money banking and finance after which I started working for JPMorgan and for those of you who are the early signups I never traded for JPMorgan I think it's very important to make sure that you know the saying is that a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth gets out of bed

and I didn't want a knock knock from JPMorgan saying you never traded for us I certainly most certainly did not I traded for myself I traded for all those but I haven't traded for JPMorgan as much as I loved to trade for JPMorgan I think I could have done a better job of some of them I work for JP Morgan for
