Alex Spiroglou is a quasi-systematic, cross-asset proprietary futures trader. His involvement with capital markets began in 1998, having worked for various proprietary trading and investment management firms in the UK and Greece. He is currently trading his own book and is active in all major liquid futures markets across all major asset classes (equity, interest rates, FX, commodities). He enjoys life with his family and the most amazing cat in the world (Greko) by the beautiful coast of South-East England.
Academic Background
Alex's academic background began with a BSc in "Banking and International Finance" from City University Business School in London (1996). During those years, he discovered technical analysis, which led him to specialize in that area. Eventually, this became his life-long passion. Since 2001 he has held the "Certified Financial Technician (CFTe)" accreditation by the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA) and the "Diploma of Technical Analysis – DipTA (ATAA)," administered by the Australian Technical Analysts Association (ATAA). Additionally, he holds the "Investment Management Certificate" (IMC) administered by the UK Society of Investment Professionals, as well as the "Market Maker/Trader" license administered by the Athens Derivatives Exchange and the "Investment Consultant license" administered by the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission.
