My Experience in Shenzhen, China

Towards the end of November, I travelled to Shenzhen, China to present at the International Finance Exposition (FINEXPO).

The Shenzhen FINEXPO was jointly held by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, China Chamber of International Commerce, and Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government between November 21-23, 2008 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center.

Whilst I was in Hong Kong before heading over to China, I took the opportunity to see one my mentors, Ray Barros and interview him.

Starting trading back in the 1970s, Ray has tremendous experience and in this interview, he talks about how undisciplined traders can become disciplined, how to develop entry signals and his thoughts on technical indicators, how the financial crisis has affected his trading, why risk management is so important and how his trading differs between his personal account and his funds management.

Finally, he offers the best advice he could give a close friend or family member who wanted to start trading.

You can watch the first part below:

and finally Part 3:

I even did an informal video on the morning of my presentation outside the Convention Centre - you can watch it below:

I hope you enjoy them …

    Hi David,

    The interview Stuart did with Ray was interesting but the location was not a favourable place with all the back ground noise, it was very distracting. Other wise a great idea having a talk with other traders.

    Many thanks.

    Hi Stuart,
    Very interesting interview with Ray. I encourage you to make more of similar type of interviews since they give us, less experience people, more insights into trader’s mindset.
    The only small problem was the background noise, if we can remove it or at least make it lower, the music inside the restaurant/bar is laud and I can not hear sometimes what Ray is saying.
    Otherwise it is great.
    Thank you
