Trading Instructor
Jose Blasco
Equities, Options, Forex, and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
Jose completed his engineering degree in 1995, at the same time that the Telecom Industry was being de-regulated in Europe. This gave him the opportunity
to develop an intense career in the marketing of telecommunications carriers.
Having a passion for teaching, Jose also began lecturing part-time at the Polytechnic University of Valencia as a professor in the communications
department.
Jose was already very interested in the markets at this time, but knew that he needed to get the best education possible to make his dream of becoming a
full-time trader come true. He was looking for an education vehicle that would help him develop a strong and unique edge to take advantage of in the
marketplace.
This is how Online Trading Academy and Jose met for the very first time, and this is where he received the education that allows him to trade and
teach in different asset classes and markets.
Coming from a field outside of the trading industry, Jose understands what it is like to start with zero knowledge base. This gives him the ability
to connect with his students and pass his knowledge on. He is a very disciplined trader, planning everything before the trade happens, and he places a lot
of emphasis on risk management. His goal is to help his students realize that trading can be simple.
What students are saying about Jose Blasco:
"I just finished another FABULOUS lesson with Jose Blasco. What a delight to have him as an instuctor. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that he is a part of the Stock XLT rooms. Even though English is not his primary language, he does go above and beyond to ensure that the students understand each concept being presented and still maintains control over the classroom environment, even recommending to some that they go back and listen to his previous recordings so that he can continue on with the progression of his teachings. He is kind and considerate and caring and his passion to assist us in being successful traders is abundantly exhibited each session he conducts. Whoever hired him is brilliant. Give that person a pay raise...and whatever you do...please keep him in the Stock Rooms." Stacy D., April 2012
