Trading Instructor
Mickey Moores
Options and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
Mickey Moores entered the financial markets in 1996 when a friend introduced him to options trading. In 1998 Mickey took his
first options class and traded with a portfolio manager who used options for profit and cash flow in his own trading account.
After being mentored in options trading for four years, Mickey began passing on what he had learned by becoming an instructor.
From 2001- 2008 Mickey was trading and teaching options spread strategies across the United States, Canada and the U.K. while
being mentored by professional market makers and risk managers. Mickey has educated thousands of students about the financial
markets with a specialty in options spread trading and portfolio risk management. Due to his unique understanding of the options
market and his ability to clearly communicate complex strategies, Mickey is in high demand as a leading options instructor.
Mickey has also shared educational platforms with major industry leaders, market makers, authors and educators from around the
country.
Mickey joined Online Trading Academy team in 2008 saying, “After seeing different seminar firms for years and what they had
to offer, no one offered a small classroom environment that allowed students to learn and actually trade with someone else’s
money. The ability of Online Trading Academy to train a new student in multiple asset classes with lifelong support for such
an unbelievably low tuition rate made a believer out of me. This educational experience is unmatched in the industry! I had
to join the team.”
