Who are PIA?
PIA was born out of a requirement from the institutional world of financial trading for an unbiased, professional, high quality technical analysis based trading approach.
Banks, hedge funds, central banks and professional proprietary traders sought assistance to complement their trading strategies and to provide them with a clear technical based idea to assist in their decision making.
In 2007, the PIA-First team of analysts formed an independent research firm to enable them to better serve their Institutional clients' needs.
Growth
As the financial market appeal grew on a global stage, PIA managers, highlighted a need to expand into the retail environment.
In 2011, they hired Ian Coleman, who came with a wealth of trading, broking and teaching experience. He was handed the responsibility of formulating the expansion of the business into the Retail FX world. Under the banner of 'First4Trading', Ian has worked tirelessly to ensure success in this ever evolving market.
Next steps
The following year, after a board of directors' reshuffle, Ian found himself at the helm of the business and hired Steve O'Hare, to assist in the continuing success of the company. Steve's expertise in the world of trading has proven a valuable asset in the progress of the business and in the structure of PIA-First today.
After a managers buy-in, in late 2013, Ian and Steve took full ownership of the firm and set out to improve on the tradability, accuracy and success of the trade ideas produced.
Vision
PIA-First believe that to achieve success in trading requires some fundamental essentials. A key tool is education and this is a pre-requisite for most career paths. Trading is no different and through education and understanding, opportunities to succeed should soon follow.
As well as the new education resource, which will be taking shape over the coming weeks and months, PIA-First's analysis incorporates education within all of their predictive reports.
Our multi-language capabilities and additional time zoned ideas will allow a more global reach as the company looks to appeal to a wider audience.
We constantly strive to achieve excellence within our field and to be recognised as the leading provider of technical analysis based trade ideas
