Samuel & Co Trading is the educational hub for individuals learning to trade the financial markets. I founded the business in 2012 it’s grown into one of the leading education centres for junior traders.
Alongside the live trading classes, our students can take advantage of the algorithmic software we provide. This software gives trainee traders that extra edge on the financial markets. We are pleased to have educated over 5000 individuals in financial trading from around the globe.
How did you come up with the idea for the company?
I got a lucky break working as an intern at the leading independent private bank in the UK. However, I began trading even before that at university. When my course mates saw my gains, they wanted me to teach them how to do it. I took this and my experience from the bank and created my business.
At Samuel & Co we encourage our junior traders not to be sucked into the social media hype but to put in the work.
