Adam Taylor (@AdamTaylor) is a Director of GO Markets and Head of GO Markets UK.

Adam has a brilliant ability to see patterns, whether it’s playing Chess, or using Point & Figure Analysis to better understand the sentiment in the market.

During my own time at GO Markets, Adam was always the cool cucumber you looked to when you wanted an opinion or topic settled - a very useful skill set for someone previously tasked with the majority of risk management in the business.

This chat was a great insight into what makes a GO Markets Director tick, plus how things are looking within the UK.

We covered numerous topics, including:

• The game of Chess
• Moving from Scotland to Australia
• His progression within GO Markets
• The UK market, Brexit
• Risk management
• Fundamental & technical analysis
