Scott Beck

Scott began his career in 1999 working on the trading desk for one of the largest online brokers in the country. As a Series 7 and 63 registered representative he was able to gain a strong understanding of how the markets work from a logistical and operational perspective. It was also in 1999 that he began trading and investing in his own accounts, sparking a strong desire to study and learn as much about the markets and how to trade them as possible. Since that time he has actively traded in various markets, gaining experience trading in stocks, options, futures, and currencies. He left the brokerage industry in 2003 to take a position as a trading coach, and has been working in the investment education industry ever since. Over the past seventeen years he has taught thousands of students successful trading principles and strategies.

Scott believes that regardless of what markets, instruments, or strategies one might trade, achieving success ultimately depends on three core factors: Trading plan development, money management, and trading psychology. He has spent thousands of hours studying and researching these aspects of trading and still gets excited when he is able to help aspiring traders realize how important they are, and what a difference they can make in becoming the type of trader who consistently generates profits.

He also has a strong background in technical analysis, having passed the first level of the Charted Market Technician certification.
