Building on these discussions, Siju Daniel and Linton White were also interviewed by Finance Magnates at FMAS, where they shared further strategic insights on the evolution of Africa’s trading landscape.  

ATFX also hosted its own exclusive panel, “Trading Psychology vs Strategy,” featuring Hormoz Faryar, Linton White, Gavin Hendrikse, Sales Manager at ATFX Africa, and Caleb Martin, Sales Manager at ATFX Africa.
