Therefore, the company is now focusing on FX trading, hoping to introduce this type of investment to more traders. Long Asia sponsored its first FX training session organised by Forex Bangkok in Chiang Mai on November 10 with around 300 participants learning about the crucial elements of this type of complex investment. "It's crucial for forex beginners to get the basics set for the foundation of forex trading education such as fundamental concepts, leverage and margin, order types, most popular currency pairs and asset classes and more. We also wanted to share with more experienced traders how to navigate around constantly changing markets as an endless amount of information is flowing at them from multiple directions. They can make right judgements and decisions when they understand the role of economics and supply/demand relationships, and indicators and sentiment analysis to assist with buy/sell decisions," said Raymond Au, Director of APAC Business Development at Long Asia Group. Looking forward, Long Asia is planning to hold a Traders Forum in Vietnam in early January 2020. The forum will offer foreign exchange investment education for around 200 participants.
