Meet Nick Quinn
FTUK CEO
“My fascination with financial markets began during the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.”
Like many people at the time, I was watching the global financial crisis unfold and trying to understand how some of the largest and most sophisticated financial institutions in the world could collapse almost overnight.
I had friends working in the City of London who were explaining what was happening behind the scenes, and it sparked a deep curiosity about how financial markets actually function.
The more I learned, the more fascinated I became with the forces that move markets — from global macroeconomic events and institutional positioning to trader psychology and technical market structure.
That curiosity turned into years of studying markets from multiple perspectives, including economics, macro fundamentals, technical analysis, proprietary trading strategies, market profile, volume analysis and institutional positioning through commitment of traders data.
What started as a fascination with a historic financial event eventually became a long-term career focused on understanding markets and helping traders develop their skills.
