Fausto Pugliese was one of the first independent Day Traders to take advantage of the Direct Access Trading technology boom that started in 1987, and was one of the of the original SOES bandits on Wall Street. In his years of active day trading, Fausto acquired a wealth of knowledge from hands on experience working side by side with some of the most prominent market makers in the industry. He watched closely as the market makers would strategize and take their positions in the stocks that they dominated. As a result, Fausto capitalized on identifying the actions of dominant market makers and learned to follow their direction. This method is called "Shadowing the Dominant Market Maker," and has proven to be a highly effective – and lucrative – strategy. Shadowing the Dominant Market Maker allows students to follow the same analysis that leading market makers use when taking a position on a stock. Fausto continues to teach this method of trading to individuals and large groups around the world. At CyberTrading University, Fausto and his staff of seasoned trading instructors teach over 400 new students every month. Fausto has appeared on Fox News, CNBC and dozens of radio programs in the U.S. and Canada.

David Capablanca's journey from architecture to master trader is as inspiring as it is unconventional. Initially immersed in the world of architecture, David studied at the University of Florida and later earned his master's degree from UCLA. His path, however, took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor during his first quarter at UCLA, leading to emergency surgery and a year-long recovery. Despite these challenges, David continued his studies while managing an extensive financial burden from student loans.Facing mounting debts and limited income as an architect, David was driven to explore new career avenues. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a volatile market environment that David capitalized on, leveraging his meticulous approach honed through years of architectural design to excel in short selling. With just $29,000 to his name, David turned this challenging period into a significant opportunity, mastering the art of short selling amidst market chaos.David's success in trading grew, leading to substantial gains during market events like the GameStop and AMC phenomenon. His background in architecture, which had taught him to recognize patterns and structures, proved invaluable in developing a systematic approach to trading.Today, David Capablanca is not only a seven-figure master trader with a verified 90% win rate but also a dedicated educator.

Tomas is a trader with more than 11 years of experience.
He shares his knowledge on his blog, SystemsOnTheRoad.com
Tomas came to trading about eleven years ago after an entirely different career.
He used to work as film director, in the Czech Republic but it was a very difficult profession from a financial perspective.
So, he left film directing completely and became full time trader.
Like many traders, Tomas started as a discretionary trader before becoming interested in systematic approaches.
Even for a skilled strategy developer, however, building trading strategies proved to be a difficult process that takes time away from trading.
He found out information about Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming which got his attention immediately. And he was off to the races.
Tom’s favorite thing to do is travel. He spends a lot of time in East Asia, Spain and other countries.
He says: “I live for trading and traveling.” And he travels while trading.

Hima Reddy is a Wall Street veteran analyst, Financial Times published author, active trader, and prolific educator with a passion for technical market analysis, specifically Gann Analysis. Her mission is to empower individuals to participate in the financial markets to create primary or secondary income streams to attain freedom. Hima is the last trading coach you'll ever need, and she leads a tribe of traders who are like-minded action-takers and students of the markets.
Hima and her traders believe that it's possible to master the markets by focusing on just three things: price data, momentum analysis, and market timing. They know that trading results can be optimized quickly with the right practice and guidance, and that having a trading mentor with 20+ years of trading and analysis experience is far more powerful than having someone who simply says "buy this, sell that".
Hima started learning futures trading from her dad at the age of 16, and went on to work at multiple Wall Street firms, from research houses to investment banks. Wall Street even called her back to consult during the summer and fall of 2022! She not only knows how to trade and analyze the markets using her proprietary methods, but she also knows how to teach them to others. Hima is especially known for her work in Gann analysis, and she's one of the world's leading experts, having published two academic books on that specialized topic.
To date, Hima has taught and mentored thousands of traders seeking a consistent trading income to give themselves and their families the life they deserve. Her philosophy is that trading is simple but not easy right out of the gate. But with strategic effort, anyone can achieve success in the markets. Hima's experience and knowledge, starting at a very young age, can be of insanely high value to you if translated properly.
Outside of her profession, Hima loves to dance and enjoys exploring her Indian culture and all that it has to offer.
