About Us
Axia Futures started with a group of ambitious individuals who appreciate independent thinking and most importantly the value of ethics, honesty and friendship. We are a community of traders who are also close friends that share the same ideology on how to develop trading talent. For too long, training programmes across the city have become stale and dormant by not evolving with the changing market environment. We know that to stay ahead of market opportunity, we need a community that shares this ethos of constant reinvention and that is why we have started Axia Futures. We are not only Educators but also Traders and thus what is best for us will ensure the best for our community.
As a collective group of successful traders, with a combined experience of 50 years on our London and Wrocław Trading Floors, we know what is required to be successful so we ensure that all parts of our training reflect these fundamental characteristics.
Mission
Our Mission is to change the Trader Training Landscape and to develop World Class Traders. We employ the best people and technologies and ensure that traders learn effectively and rapidly, and acquire the fundamental skills for consistency in their trading. We also focus on trader skill development and understanding, by using advanced proprietary technologies to rapidly enhance trader’s ability to recall market patterns and to develop trading strategies that cater for a person’s unique personality and temperament.
Vision
Our Vision is to be trailblazers in the space of trader skill development and world leaders in cultivating and unearthing the next wave of super star traders. We will create a global community of formidable traders that are relentlessly determined in extracting the most money in the financial markets. Our community of traders will achieve this by developing a process, belief and discipline to tackling the markets with energy and conviction.

ALEX HAYWOOD
Co-Founder, Head of Strategy
After 13 years in the futures industry, exclusively in the proprietary domain, and with half of that time being involved in developing trading teams across Europe, Alex wanted to change the very foundation of how traders could up the ante in performance.
Alex’s core belief framework of enhanced trader performance was to leverage technology to enable knowledge share amongst traders of varying levels of experience by making geographical boundaries digitally permeable. This gave birth to Axia Futures, which was founded alongside a group of like minded friends who shared the same value principles of elite training and performance.
STEPHANOS MAVROMMATIS
Head of Operations
Stephanos leads the day-to-day operations and resourcing of Axia Futures. He has a background in Business Intelligence consulting and project management and has worked for global organisations including Atos and Accenture. His 10-year experience in managerial posts coupled with his decision-making and problem-solving skills, have greatly contributed to the setting up of Axia Futures.
He holds a bachelor degree in Accounting with Business Information Systems and a Masters in IT and Management.
RICHARD BAILEY
Head of Training and Development
Richard started trading in 2008 using a technical based trading strategy which was quickly enhanced to include fundamental, event based strategies during that volatile period. Richard’s ability to recognise technical patterns and continually develop new technical trading ideas has benefited many who have traded with him.
This proficiency in generating new ideas and understanding what it takes to build a career from scratch has enabled Richard to create numerous trading development skills-based training programmes. He delivers the Career Course which has been built by drawing on skills and ideas from all the successful traders at Axia Futures, in order to give traders the best practices to enhance their careers.
GABRIELE GANDINI
Poland Head of Trading
Gabriele has 13 years of experience in the financial futures market as a proprietary trader and almost 20 years in the markets. His very short trading time frame and his extremely careful risk management made him achieve levels of consistency second to none, with some stretches lasting over three years without a single monthly draw-down.
All his career he was patiently focused on finding the highest probability trades, and executing them with method, discipline, and the biggest possible size. A big passion for the job, respect for the market and willingness to succeed were just some of the essential traits of this gifted market participant. Mixing these with an acute ability to analyse the market, deep self-analysis and focus capability, made Gabriele the unique trader he is today.
Gabriele heads up our Poland office and is paramount in the development of our new traders in Eastern Europe.
PAUL HAYWOOD
Streaming & Social Media Manager
Paul started with Axia Futures in 2017 and has been instrumental in the digital delivery of all our internal training and knowledge capital in the social media space to educate and train our online community, as we continue to offer and build our free content distribution network.
Paul also ensures we have the latest technology capabilities for delivery of our in-house training to all our remote trainees around the world. The most important aspect of our online presence is to ensure we continue to embrace new technology advances so as to create a fully immersive online experience.
It is critical to bring the benefits of a physical trading floor to people who trade remotely and don’t have access to the power of group learning, and this is what drives Paul’s focus in bringing alive the trading floor into every virtual trading desk.
