For Jon Chapman, 16 years of institutional and interbank FX and electronic trading has led to the re-establishment of a training academy which differs significantly from many mainstream FX education services that are currently available.

Knightsbridge Training Academy, Mr. Chapman assumes the position of Director of Institutional and Retail FX which involves mitigating client risk and, according to Mr. Chapman the very important factor of driving revenue through the thoughtful promotion of the company’s personalised FX products and their functionality.

FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls. By approaching the issue from the perspective of AI as a technology, rather than the use case for the technology, corresponding regulations would likely necessitate a definition of AI. We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
