FXTM’s unique series of educational events – Touchdown in Cape Town: The Big Wave – continued with an insightful two-day workshop hosted by our esteemed Head of Education Andreas Thalassinos. Following the rewarding experience of the Opening Dinner and Beach Clean, the exclusive workshop was held at the Auditorium of the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, from 21-22 May and was a big success!

Over the years, Andreas has helped thousands of traders navigate the financial markets with the Ultimate Trading Formula. His presentations are designed for all experience levels and are always informative, entertaining and, above all, a great way for traders to really take their skills to the next level.

The first day covered a host of exciting topics, including:

• Trend identification
• The definition of Trend
• Potential Entry Setup
• Protective Stop Loss
• Potential Take Profit

There was ample opportunity for hands-on practice, which allowed participants to explore their new skills and ask Andreas any questions that they had. A delicious dinner followed which provided both networking opportunities and a chance for guests to meet FXTM Forex Educator Theunis Kruger, who would be joining the workshop the next day.

We were also thrilled to welcome members of the Velokhaya Cycling Team, who FXTM were proud to sponsor during the Cape Town Cycle Tour Race on the 10 March. The team were excited to learn more about both FXTM and forex trading itself.

The second day of the workshop began with an introductory class for those who were brand-new to trading, and then continued to delve deeper into forex concepts as guests explored:

• Tops and bottoms
• Fibonacci Numbers and Ratios
• Buy Target Levels
• Sell Target Levels and more.

On 18 May, FXTM’s Touchdown in Cape Town: The Big Wave series of events landed in South Africa’s Mother City – Cape Town. The series kicked off with two spectacular events, the Big Wave Opening Dinner and the Diep River Lagoon beach clean, which brought together the local community to learn more about protecting the oceans, and take action together. 

The Big Wave Opening Dinner* was truly “jawesome”. Against the striking backdrop of the Two Oceans Aquarium’s predator exhibit, with six sharks circling in the background throughout the evening, the packed room of nearly 70 enthusiasts and traders were captivated by motivational speeches from FXTM’s Head of Education, Andreas Thalassinos and UN Patron of the Oceans, Lewis Pugh. 

Highlights of the evening include: 

• The two motivational experts sharing inspirational anecdotes, teaching attendees the importance of education, determination and perseverance.
• Show-stopping entertainment, including a spectacular act by two Zulu dancers decked in FXTM brand colours. 
• The award presentation for Gregg Daly, second-place winner of the Big Wave Trading Contest (under Exinity Limited). 
• Delicious food, a fully engaged audience and the perfect opportunity for attendees to network with one another in a truly memorable setting. 

Lewis Pugh, a Cape Town local, was amazed at the diversity in the audience and how interested they were in the educational aspect of trading. He commented: “I’ve never seen anything quite like it in South Africa.”

Following on from the dinner, the Big Wave beach clean organised by Big Bay Events, took place on May 19 off the coast of Sunset Beach, right by the infamous Diep River area in Cape Town. Over 100 Capetonians joined Team FXTM and Brand Ambassador Lewis Pugh in ridding the beach of harmful plastic and waste. 

Families from across the region (some of whom even brought their dogs along!) joined together to collect and dispose of waste that might otherwise endanger the lives of marine life. It was a truly wonderful outdoor community experience, with many kids who are part of a youth development programme joining in. 

After the clean-up, attendees enjoyed well-earned food and live music from one of South Africa’s famous DJ Milkshake.
