Speaker's Biography

Tom Williams Retired Syndicate Trader TradeGuider's Chairman Inventor of VSA	As a very successful US Syndicate Trader, Tom William's professional experience gained a great impetus when reading what Richard D Wyckoff had to say in the early 20th Century on the subject of volume reading . Tom further developed Wyckoff's methodologies during the 60s and 70s to develop his own more potent methodology - Volume Spread Analysis - regularly referred to as "Wyckoff on Steroids!" Tom Williams has been energetically applying his unique methodologies for the last 30 years to the Stocks, FOREX and Futures markets. He retired from professional trading to take up a number of commercial ventures. However, Tom's real ambition was to help traders operate in a more informed way, and this idea formed the basis of his software development company he set up 14 years ago. Tom has spent many years refining the signals in for the product that now forms the TradeGuider range of Software Systems. Tom is the inventor of Volume Spread Analysis and the Chairman of TradeGuider Systems.
