Internationally renowned Forex trader Greg Secker will make money from thin air Friday, as he hovers above the City of London as the 'Flying Trader'. A trained helicopter pilot, Secker will be in his chopper (although not actually in the pilot's seat!) above London, whilst trading live on the FX markets. All brokerage profits will go to charity. Trading from his laptop within the aircraft while he hovers over the City, London Bridge and Canary Wharf, Secker’s every move and click of the mouse will be captured on camera as he trades the markets in mid-air. Secker, Chairman and CEO of trader coaching company Knowledge to Action, has invited trading do-gooders across the globe to follow him online and ‘co-pilot’ the charity mission – being able to match his trades click for click. With hundreds of fellow traders expected to partake, the broker for the day, ETX Capital, has agreed to donate all commissions to two children’s charities close to Secker’s heart – Barnardo’s and the Ubuntu Education Fund. Having founded Knowledge to Action in 2003, Secker set-up the Knowledge to Action Foundation in 2011 to help improve the quality of life for children around the world by actively supporting Barnardo’s and Ubuntu. Proceeds raised will be tracked daily on the Flying Trader website barometer and participants will be able to follow stories online of how the money helps each charity’s chosen project.
