Since the beginning of the year, we have been working hard to bring our trading expertise to you more effectively and to a greater extent to simplify your path to full-time trading.
Let's review together what we have achieved since the beginning of 2023.
We've started operating on our Trading Flooru in Moravany! The goal of our Trading Floor is to provide our community of traders with the best possible facilities and system that will benefit them in the long term.
At Trading Floor we meet every day through trading and fun!
The following are currently underway:

We have expanded our mentoring team with new successful traders! As a result, we are able to help more students who need more individual attention to make sure they are doing what they have learned in our courses the right way. The mentoring program is also great preparation for getting funded accounts.

We have improved our market analysis and outlook group! We started this group to help you more from the fundamental analysis side, and to keep you up-to-date and informed about what is happening in the world and what can currently affect our trading. We have now added to this group our technical outlooks of trading opportunities, which go hand in hand with fundamental analysis and are complemented and systematic management of open positions. The whole jigsaw has thus fallen into place and we are able to bring you more of our know-how and show you how we view the markets.

We are delighted that more and more students are writing to us after taking our courses to say that we have changed their perspective on trading and more and more of you are filling funded accounts.

On Wednesday, we focused our attention on inflation in the euro area. Headline annual inflation delivered its fifth consecutive month of decline and is at its lowest level since February 2022. Still, it remains high...
We also got inflation numbers from the UK on Wednesday, which were not positive on the face of it, but with headline inflation still in double digits, it's building up for the Bank of England.
The latest inflation data also came from Canada, where the annual headline inflation rate fell to 4.3 %, the lowest since August 2021.
Last but not least, on Thursday we turned our attention to New Zealand inflation data, which disappointed the market a bit.
There will be much less of that this week.
On Wednesday, we turn our attention to inflation in Australia (3:30), where lower numbers are expected.
