DubaiPTG opens for business, announces training programme

The DubaiPTG Training Programme is the Middle East's first-ever, hands-on course developed and managed by established traders who have successful track records of trading. It offers a unique opportunity for fresh traders from all backgrounds to develop the required knowledge and skills in trading as a self-employment opportunity, using their own capital.

"DubaiPTG is offering the Middle East's would-be traders the region's sole existing opportunity to learn and benefit firsthand from experienced traders, rather than those who understand and teach the theory of trading,"

explained Kevin Day, Chief Operating Officer, DubaiPTG. "With the DubaiPTG Training Programme, we understand that the ongoing interaction with both mentors and existing traders are vital to the ultimate success of individual traders."

The programme, which begins in January 2008, will see trainees from the region studying the principles of trading the world's financial markets. Participants will have access to sophisticated trading technology, dedicated connectivity to markets, market data, analytics, clearing and settlement services, and will benefit from wholesale rates of commission on each trade.

DubaiPTG has now activated all facilities required to trade electronically, including a high-tech trading room, sophisticated risk management systems and dedicated leased line connections. In addition, traders will be supported around the clock by on-site risk managers.

"The support to fledgling traders from DubaiPTG does not cease at the end of the six-month training programme," continued Day. "We realise that no one learns at the same pace and also that the capital and commodity markets are in a constant state of flux, so there are always new angles and opportunities to make money."

There is no fee for the course as the sole purpose is to train the individual to become a profitable trader, an aim which will both increase the size of DubaiPTG and provide a unique income and lifestyle for the trader.

DubaiPTG, a joint venture between experienced Dubai-based market professionals and the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre - a Government of Dubai initiative, provides the first trading hub in the Middle East for both professional and new traders looking to establish a base in one of the world's fastest growing, safest and exciting cities.
