Simon Jousef- “The Professor” is a CFTC Registered CTA (Commodities Trading Advisor). Mr. Jousef, holds a B.Sc. in Physics After intense research, Simon discovered a hidden phenomenon within the markets’ price action or volume. He witnessed a formula of numbers that keeps attracting the price back to them, a phenomenon he now calls trading magnets. Similar to black holes in space, the brackets pull or magnetize the price back to its origin, to the tick. With this new found information, Simon entered live trading competitions and in June of 2006, he was listed as one of The World’s Top 5 Forex Traders.- Fxtrader.net In 2010 and with the help of programmers, he developed an automated indicator called Trading Magnet, which was initially designed for futures markets such as Crude, Gold, and Indices but it works equally as well with stocks, options, and spot Forex markets. Today he trades in front of students and teaches the exact same strategies and tape reading methods he used during the live trading competition

In 1963, while still in law school, he authored an important article in Taxes Magazine on real estate taxation, and in 1964 opened a law practice in Pacific Palisades California.

Making money in the stock market is hard. Only a few decades ago, the stock market moved as fast as humans could pick up a telephone and place orders. Market moving news came at a much slower pace giving market analysts more time to study and adjust to changing market conditions. Today, automatic trading by computers makes up the majority of trades. In less time than it takes to blink an eye, computers are moving markets based on the rapid 24/7 news cycle. How does anybody keep up with a market that changes so fast? At WooTrader, we asked the same question. For years, Wall Street gurus have relied on a mix of technical and fundamental indicators. Popular metrics like P/E ratio, quarterly revenue, and 50 day moving averages have dominated analyst playbooks. But those computers that are making most of the market trades may not look at any of those metrics right now. The metrics that are moving the market are constantly changing, so the information you’re using to evaluate the market should change too. That’s wh

What are you currently trading?The main market I trade is the 10 Year U.S. Treasury Note which I trade on an active basis using the 144 tick chart. I also trade the Russell 2000 emini futures contract using the 292 share bar chart. Swing trading stocks using options is the third part of my trade plan. I take my entries off both the 195 minute and daily charts. And where are you from?I am from Kalamazoo, Michigan which is a small town 2.5 hours from Chicago. I still reside there to this day. So why did you become a trader?I started trading in 2002 during my freshman year of college. While studying business, I decided to do a research project on the stock market. From that point on, I have been addicted to the financial markets. I love working with numbers and I enjoy the new challenges that trading brings every day. And how did you hook up with NetPicks?I started working for NetPicks during the summer of 2008. I was a longtime member of the NetPicks trading systems and was really excited to be asked to come on

Phil Ash — Co-Founder & CEO “I was looking for an easy-to-use investing app that regularly beats the stock market. It didn’t exist.” I bought my first stock in college and had no idea what the company did. But I instantly knew that investing was my Vegas, PowerBall and Fantasy Football all rolled into one. So after a decade as a CPA and financial analyst, I went on to lead an investment research firm for retirees. I’m no good at developing the advice, but I seem to have a knack for hiring those who do. Discovering Jim Pearce and John P.
