Ashley Jessen

Ashley Jessen AuthorAshley Jessen was one of the first 10 traders to open a CFD account when they first launched in Australia, having originally traded stocks and options. Ashley is an experienced trader with specialised knowledge in the trading and educational fields.

Ashley has also taught tens of thousands of everyday traders how to plan, construct and implement effective trading systems and get back to the basics. He has also personally coached over 400 traders 1 on 1 in how to get the most out of their trading methods and mindset.

Making the transition to CFDs and trading full time was simple and together with 3 trading colleagues, Ashley set up and managed a trading office in Bondi Junction. It was at this stage Ashley learnt what it’s like to eat, sleep, breathe and live the markets on a full time basis.

Ashley Jessen GolfingWhilst not trading, Ashley has been instrumental in helping grow some of Australia’s largest CFD, FX & education trading companies including Metashare International, HomeTrader, CMC Markets, MF Global, LCG Markets and Invast, from Sales & marketing manager all the way up to running a state office.

Ashley is also a passionate golfer and currently plays off a handicap of 5. Strangely enough both golf and CFDs earned him a 1st class trip to London and then on to the South of France to go head to head with the owner of one of the most successful CFD companies in the world.

Sitting 1 under through the first 8 holes and holding a 7 shot lead, Ashley unfortunately got beaten on the 18th hole earning his boss a much deserved and well fought victory. Many a hard luck story was told that night over dinner in the city of Monaco.

I get many questions about CFDs and indeed CFD trading can be both exciting and rewarding, but the can appear complex at first sight.

There are many sales men peddling get rich …

You could not find a more experienced pair of CFD traders and educators than Ashley and Jeff. I have known these guys for more than a decade on a professional level, and they have been at the forefront of the CFD market since it was first introduced in Australia. To have their collated wealth of experience put to paper, and succinctly outlined in this book, is an opportunity to tap directly into the minds of Australia’s leading CFD experts.

CFDs made simple! Great name isn’t it, and the reality is that trading CFDs is simple after the first half dozen or so years. I started trading CFDs back in 2000 around the time I first met Geoff and a little later Ashley. We all had one thing in common a desire to trade and a desire to do it now, the other thing we had in common was that we all worked for the same firm which gave us the ability and time to work our individual trading strategie…

Moreover, traders of all types will learn techniques that will help them in their trade development.

This is a great starting point if you are considering the world of trading CFDs. It is easy to understand and not full of indecipherable jargon. Importantly, Ashley and Jeff discuss the risks in trading CFDs as well as the opportunities available through preparation and discipline.

David HobartManaging DirectorBlue Sky ApeironQueensland, Australia
I have been trading shares and various derivatives for the past 20 yrs. Over the past 8 years I have been intrigued by the befits of trading CFD’s, however for a long time I found myself sitting on the side lines not getting actively involved due to a lack of understanding. Recently I came into contact with the book “CFD’s Made Simple” by Ashley Jessen & Jeff Cartridge. This was a turning point for me as it opened the door on a whole new world…
