    Louis Holdings-Parsons
    Contributor

    After working 9 years in Finance during which he spent time in the Bank of England, UK stockbrokers and a Swiss private bank, Louis has amassed experience of bank operations, risk management and more importantly trading. This has imbued him with different behavioural finance traits: the caution of a central banker, the reticence of a risk analyst, the ebullience of a stockbroker and the risk-based approach of a Swiss private banker. His passion for markets as a trader, combined with his experience of seeing different approaches and methods applied has given him a wide understanding of how other market participants interact with markets.

    Louis’ troubleshooting and multi-tasking abilities have since been put to the test at The Lazy Trader, where he worked in-house as Editorial Director for three years, directing a team of freelance writers in addition to making numerous written contributions. In 2023 Louis decided to focus on his own projects although he is still very much a regular contributor of articles and guides.

    Lisamarie studied English theory at university, and has always been interested in the mechanics of writing, but it wasn’t until 2010 when he daughter was born that she started to write professionally. Although this was out of necessity (it was a job that could be done from home and brought in enough to pay the bills), it soon became a passion, and since that time, Lisamarie has been published in over 40 fiction anthologies and has written seven novels.

    As a freelance writer, most of her work is blogging and writing articles, and this works well with her fiction writing, allowing her to exercise both her research skills and her imagination.

    Today she lives with her husband, daughter, and a cat called Cheryl in a cottage in the Kent countryside, writing, painting, and – whenever possible – watching horror films.
