An Evening of Trading Insights, Pizza, and Drinks

Join us for the next edition of our new "Talking About Bots" series — a lively evening where we explore why algorithmic trading beats manual execution, how bots are built and deployed, and what seasoned experts have learned from real-world experience.

Session 1: Why You Should Always Trade with Bots (That You Trust)

Speaker: Richard Hickling
Bots don't get tired. They don't panic. And used well, they can outperform most retail traders—consistently.

In this talk, Richard, a Founder of ProfitView, explores why automated trading Bots have a clear structural edge over manual execution. Drawing on decades of experience in fintech and trading, he'll explain the psychological and technical advantages that make bots the preferred tool for serious traders.
