Trading Forex and CFDs with leverage poses significant risk of loss to your capital.

His Journey

Ross’s journey into the world of trading began in the 1990s when he wrote trading systems for forex, bonds, and options traders. This early exposure to trading laid the foundation for his future roles and responsibilities. His skills and expertise took him to Brussels, where he worked for SWIFT, the worldwide banking network. He also spent time in Zurich working for UBS, the largest Swiss Bank, and in New York for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. His work has taken him to 15 countries, where he delivered IT innovations in Big Data, AI, Cloud, and the Internet of Things.

In 2001, Ross returned to Australia to work with IBM, where he was instrumental in delivering some of the most significant Information Technology projects the country has seen. These include Australia’s first 3G mobile network, Australia’s first Smart Electricity Distribution Grid, and Australia’s most extensive Liquid Natural Gas development. Each of these projects showcased his ability to lead and innovate.

Trading Experience

Ross’s trading experience is not limited to forex. He has experience trading equities, bonds, options, CFDs, and cryptocurrencies. His passion is combining fundamental analysis and macroeconomic trends with technical analysis to identify profitable trades. This unique approach to trading has allowed him to make significant contributions to the field.

At CompareForexBrokers, Ross focuses on technical research. His recorded work for the site includes our forex broker execution speeds research and the standard account spreads research, both listed under “Recent Work” further down this page.

Life Outside Of Trading

Outside of his professional life, Ross enjoys travel, photography, golf, cooking, and spending time with his family. He also has a passion for curating his model car collection, a hobby that showcases his attention to detail and appreciation for design.
