Eamonn Sheridan

Chief Asia-Pacific Currency Analyst Eamonn Sheridan worked with Bankers Trust Australia for 13 years as a spot foreign exchange dealer, trading across all major currencies and all time zones. He rose to a Vice President position, running spot operations during the busy European time, leaving the bank just prior to it being sold to concentrate on running his own business in the ‘real world’! The markets, however, had him hooked – he continued to trade equities, CFDs and then on to futures, giving him broad experience across financial markets. He is now active in FX and equity index futures, and has been a prominent financial markets analyst and writer for ForexLive.com, now rebranded as investingLive.com. Eamonn is a graduate of The University of Melbourne in Australia and lives in New South Wales
