tactical trader

Steve Griffiths started professional life as a Mechanical Engineer qualified to UK degree level. Dissatisfied with engineering, however, he started trading privately in 1987, managing his own trading fund. Over time, his main focus shifted entirely towards trading and he left the engineering profession in 1988. Steve then concentrated on professional trading, generating trading profits as his main income source.

Over years of extensive research (combining his engineering and mathematical background) into trading programs and techniques, he discovered what worked for him in his own trading. Finding an “edge” in real day-to-day trading was the main quest. Steve realized that although back-tested and complicated analysis techniques were freely available, typically they promised more than they delivered. A simpler, consistently focused approach to trading often produced better results.

After over 15 years of research and development, Steve released the MTPredictor™ Stock, Forex and Commodity trading software program which makes trade identification, risk analysis, position-sizing, trade management and ease-of-use its main focus.

Steve believes that the most important aspect of trading is a simple, tight approach. The ability to identify a tradable opportunity that allows entry into the market with a small and controlled risk, backed by a strong Risk/Reward profile, time after time, is paramount.

Steve has written and contributed articles to many publications and associations, including Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities and Market Technician/Society of Technical Analysts, and has appeared as a guest presenter on CNBC Europe television.
