Carol Harmer - Chief Analyst

Carol Harmer has over 30 years experience of analysing and trading the world’s markets and is undoubtedly one of the most respected technical analysts in the world today. 

Her career started in the early eighties, trading futures on the floor at LIFFE where she quickly discovered Technical Analysis as a way to maximise profits. She was one of the first traders on LIFFE to discover and study this form of analysis and quickly became widely recognised as an expert in its use as well as highly profitable. 

This soon led to a position as Senior Technical Analyst for Midland Bank. 

She was later head hunted for the role of Manager of Technical Analysis for Nomura Bank and then as Head of Technical Trading at Credit Suisse. Carol is also one of the first T/A's from a bank to join the  STA (The Society of Technical Analysts) in the mid 80's and has trained and worked with some of the UK’s leading technical analysts.

In 1996 Carol launched 'Charmer Charts' to train independent traders in technical analysis and became the first person to provide daily forecasts for the established traders on the LIFFE floor.

She returned to the floor, trading her own account, advising traders throughout the day and continued her appearances on Bloomberg, CNBC and Reuters financial TV where she provided her valued, expert opinion on the direction of financial markets.

Carol now offers her experience to you with daily Technical Analysis reports. Our clients include independent traders and financial institutions world-wide. Her 30 years of studying technical analysis ensures she is one of the most experienced in this field in the world today.  

Jason Sen began trading options in 1987 at the age of 18 on the LTOM floor of the London Stock Exchange for Market Makers Group, Amsterdam. He was soon head hunted by First Continental Trading, a Chicago based, private proprietary trading company, to make markets in options on fixed income products on the floor of LIFFE.

Jason began studying Technical Analysis in 1995 with Carol as his teacher to enhance his trading results.

Jason remained trading on the LIFFE floor until it closed and then moved to Gibraltar in 2001 with FCT and successfully made the transition from open outcry to electronically traded equity index options, including the Mib30.

In 2002 he accepted an offer to return to London and use his extensive option trading experience in a broking position at Fimat, a subsidiary of Société Générale Securities Services.

Jason helped to re-launch Charmer Charts in 2008 and now enjoys studying the markets and writing daily reports on some of the products covered by Charmer Charts.
