Co-founder, Forex Fundamentals
Rutger Lokin is the co-founder of Forex Fundamentals, which turns economic data, central bank policy, COT positioning and market sentiment into a fundamental Bias for each currency.
He started out as a purely technical trader. When he began adding fundamentals to his own trading and found no resource that made the data usable, he built Forex Fundamentals to close that gap.
He is also co-founder of TTA Capital Group, the trading education and technology group behind the platform.
