Teacher expertise and credentials
I’ve been trading the financial markets since 2009 -- I started with currencies, then stocks and I currently trade the Futures Market every morning during the US Open (9AM EST to 11AM EST).
I have been teaching students of ALL ages how to trade financial markets since late 2009. I have created a unique curriculum to teach trading on multiple platforms. I currently own an online trading education company that offers live chat room market commentary every morning during the US Open.
I’ve been a business owner my entire adult life and have incorporated aspects of running a business into my trading plan. Trading is a business and needs to be treated as such.
