IG Markets, a leader in the dealings of financial derivatives and margined forex trading, today announced the promotion of Dan Cook to Chief Executive Officer of IG Markets Inc. Cook, who will assume the new position with an immediate effect, has been with IG Markets for two years, previously serving as a Senior Market Analyst.
"Dan knows our business and our customers and we're pleased to announce his promotion," said John Austin, CEO of IG Group US Holdings Inc. "Dan's enthusiasm and market expertise will continue to drive the success and the momentum of the firm."
Whilst at IG Markets, Dan has focused on the fundamental and technical side of the currency, futures and equity markets. In an effort to help his clients understand the current events that are driving the markets so that they can better plan their trading activity, Dan provides daily market commentary as well as posting forward-looking analysis based on a combination of technical and fundamental indicators.
In 1998, Dan began trading for himself in the equities markets. Trading through the bullish markets of the ’90s and through the bursting of the technology bubble in the early ’00s has given him a firm understanding of trading during diverse market conditions. It was also during this time that Dan developed his passion for Technical Analysis. As an active member in the Market Technicians Association, Dan continues to hone his skills in the field of technical analysis.
In 2006, Dan moved full-time into the currency markets as a trading coach. Through this experience he has had the opportunity to work with a wide array of trading types and styles, further broadening his understanding of the markets. As an experienced presenter, Dan is able to communicate the intricacies of trading principles and analysis in a clear and concise manner.
