Students of the market rarely receive the opportunity to learn from an accomplished, professional trader during market hours. This is unfortunate, as observing first-hand what you’ve been taught facilitates the process of deeply understanding and implementing the lessons you’ve learned.

In this class, Fausto Pugliese allows you to watch him in action during the trading day, sharing his live trading screens and narrating his thoughts as he navigates in and out of the market. It’s as if you’re in the driver’s seat with Fausto beside you, giving you direction and advice. As a bonus, you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from other top CTU traders.

You’ll witness “market maker traps” in real-time, and see the tricks market makers employ to conceal their agenda and fool the public. Fausto uses these moments to continue to demonstrate more ways of “springing the trap,” and uncovering these hidden dangers before the market maker snares you.

During this two-day event, Fausto elaborates on many of the topics that you must understand to maximize your trading or investing success, including:

• After-market and pre-market trading
• Assessing price levels
• Avoiding overtrading

Stock trading course: Learn about Stock trading

A stock trader or equity trader or share trader is a person or company involved in trading equity securities.
Stock traders may be an agent, hedger, arbitrageur, speculator, stockbroker.
Such equity trading in large publicly traded companies may be through a stock exchange.
Stock shares in smaller public companies may be bought and sold in over-the-counter (OTC) markets.

Stock traders can trade on their own account, called proprietary trading, or through an agent authorized to buy and sell on the owner’s behalf.
Trading through an agent is usually through a stockbroker. Agents are paid a commission for performing the trade.

Major stock exchanges have market makers who help limit price variation (volatility) by buying and selling a particular company’s shares on their own behalf and also on behalf of other clients.
