In Trading for Beginners, we take the student through establishing a solid foundation of market fundamentals, teaching you what the market really is and why trades really happen.  We develop a lexicon of market terminology, an understanding of Risk, and an ability to analyze the markets using both Fundamental and Technical analysis.  We conclude the course with live trading examples.  The material is presented to you through lectures, video, and cartoons to help make the more complex topics approachable.

Please keep in mind our Tier 1 level course is a sampling of our higher Tier courses.  Because of this, it includes only part of what the higher level courses offer.

My name is Tyler Krol and I'm thrilled you're reading this!

I want you to be confident I can deliver the best training out there for you, so here's some of my background.

I'm a biochemical engineer and have worked for Fortune 50 biotechnology companies in many fields over 15 years including systems and process design, statistical analysis, and operations.  My love for science and numbers led me to the markets.  Since 2006, I have been involved in the financial markets and I really enjoy trading, algorithm development, indicator script develop, and so much more.

Summary

To cap it off, my love of rigorous analysis, hard numbers, and the markets makes me an impassioned instructor and I want to share my knowledge of the stock, forex, and commodities markets with you!
