What Readers are Saying

Hey Jamie, I found your guys site about 6 months ago and I am so glad that I did. I have learned more in the last 6 months with you, Sean and Gerry than I had the previous 4 years with Forex courses, trading rooms and eBooks. I just wanted to commend you and the lads for providing such an exceptional service (and at no cost!). In the past 6 months I have learned and turned my 4 years of losses finally into a net total profit today! I feel like I have the knowledge and resources now to really succeed in this crazy and wonderful industry. Exciting day for me, and you three have a lot to do it, so I wanted to extend my thanks! — Matthew Smith

About the Authors

Jamie Coleman Prior to launching ForexLive, Jamie Coleman spent nearly twelve years at Thomson Financial (later Thomson Reuters) as managing analyst of the institutional forex product IFR Forex Watch. In 2007, he left the Forex Watch team to launch a retail forex oriented site which became the popular Reuters FX Hub. FX Hub fell victim to cost cutting after the sub-prime mortgage crisis swamped the financial markets in 2008.

Prior to his work as a market analyst, Jamie spent 12 years trading spot and forward foreign exchange at a number of major banks including, ABN Amro, ING and Fleet Bank. His biggest career break as a trader, being hired as chief dealer at Baring Securities in New York in February 1995, was derailed by Nick Leeson, one of the great rogue traders of market lore.

Jamie is a native New Yorker and graduate of Georgetown University.

Gerry Davies has over twenty three years experience in global financial markets. He has worked as a market analyst for twelve years, the majority of that time employed by Thomson Financial. Gerry spent three years working in the company’s London office, before relocating to the U.S. where he worked out of the Boston office holding the position of Regional Director Foreign Exchange.

Prior to his work as a market analyst, Gerry spent eleven years trading foreign exchange and money markets at a number of international banks, including Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, United Overseas Bank, Credit Commercial de France and Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co.

Gerry lives on the Sunshine Coast in East Anglia, England.

Sean Lee has been working as a market analyst and educator since 2002. He has worked for market regulators, providing training and education for financial market participants, he has provided training courses and seminars in technical analysis and has worked as a technical and market analyst for IFR Markets, part of the Thomson Reuters group. He joined with Jamie Coleman in the launch of the highly successful FXHub in 2007 and is delighted to once again be part of the team. Sean began his career in treasury with WestLB Düsseldorf in 1986 and spent 15 years trading spot and forward foreign exchange at a number of major banks including Deutsche Bank and BNP. He has been trading on his personal account for over 8 years and relies on technical and market analysis, rather than fundamental analysis, for his trading strategies. Sean is an Irishman living in Sydney. He is a graduate in Pure Economics from Trinity College Dublin.

Peter Jackson joined Midland Bank’s trading room in 1981, and has been connected with financial markets ever since. After spells trading in a senior/chief dealer capacity at HSBC in London and Sydney, ABN Amro London and The Bank of New York in London, Peter spent 2 years in Bahrain as head of foreign exchange for BMB investment Bank. He then consulted for AUB Bahrain before returning to the UK. More recently, he was writing for Market News International before joining Forex Live.
