Erik Bregar

Erik Bregar is a highly respected financial markets professional with over 20 years of experience in trading and managing risk in foreign exchange (FX) and precious metal markets.

Formally the Head of FX Trading at Questrade and the Head of FX Strategy at Exchange of Canada, he now serves as Director of FX & Precious Metals Risk Management at Silver Gold Bull, where he actively runs the firm’s hedging program.

Erik is known for his market-maker approach to risk management & trading, his technical-analysis-focused methodology for developing short-term market outlooks, and his ability to parse out what’s important from the increasingly noisy financial news cycle.  His views are frequently sought out by Reuters, senior management at SGB, industry peers, and customers.

Beyond his Toronto-based desk Erik stays active with tennis, soccer, and skiing; enjoys entertaining friends and family with home-made pulled pork, ribs, and brisket from his smoker; and is learning how to play Slovenian folk music on his new accordion.
