1) Who are Christian and Andreas Weiß?
Christian Weiß: I hold a master’s degree in business administration with focus in risk management and finance. I am currently Head of Trading at FXFlat and I am also responsible for the education program. I regularly hold webinars and seminars in order to train investors in technical analysis, risk and money management and behavioral finance. I am also a trader investing mainly in shares, forex and futures. In my trading style I combine different discretionary methods (Fibonacci, Ichimoku & Andrew’s Pitchfork) and automatic systems.
Andreas Weiß: I hold a master’s degree in business studies with focus in investment banking and portfolio management. Thanks to my long time professional experience as a banker in the field of corporate clients, capital markets, asset and portfolio management, I could acquire a wide knowledge of securities. In my dissertation entitled Optimization of trading systems through technical analysis and aspects of behavioral finance in the context of risk and money management, I dealt with the most important themes related to trading. At FXFlat I am responsible for market analysis, the development and optimization of trading strategies by applying both discretionary and automatic methods, managed accounts and portfolio management.

We also offer additional software to analyze the markets and scan them to find chart formations with entry setups. Traders who have no time to trade on their own can invest into a managed account from our asset management company.
6) You have recently written a book about trading. Why?
We see that many traders lose money while trading. They don´t use or know about risk and money management. There are many possibilities to optimize trading and it is very important to reduce losses. However, it is not so easy. Trading is very emotional, behavior is determined by fear and greed. There are also many psychological issues affecting your trading. We show traders how to combine technical issues with behavioral finance and risk management. Traders should set up their own strategy to know when to exit the trade before they are invested.
