Full title: Ancient & Modern: Trading Thalesians book talk & book signing / FX intraday volatility demo

Thanks to Jan Novotny and Pavel Motuzenko for helping to organise our first Thalesians talk in Prague!

Abstract: First half: What can the ancient world teach us about modern money markets? How can we use examples from the ancient world, philosophers and writers to better understand the markets? Just as historians such as Herodotus living in ancient Greece examined the past, can traders look to their past to learn something new? In this exciting new book, Saeed Amen looks to the ancient world to help us better understand modern money markets, demonstrating what ancient philosophers can teach us about trading markets today, and showing readers how to maximize their returns.

Second half: We leap into modern day, we will use Python in an interactive demo to investigate the properties of FX intraday price action and volatility, using FX tick data, in particular noting various patterns in price action. We shall also be discussing FX intraday vol price dynamics around ECB meetings (& NFP).
