Chris Manson

Power Trader Nation

Chris' cousin, Jeff, introduced him to trading, his second passion after music, which he feels extremely lucky to have discovered. Jeff taught him a detailed way of technical, rule based trading that he could use to trade any asset class, in any market condition. He has been actively trading Stocks, Options, and Futures in his personal accounts for over 11 years. He considers it a pleasure to have trained and mentored over 300 students, sharing his experience and knowledge to help get them to the next level.

Chris Manson is dedicated to showing traders how to form the right side of the chart using different technical analysis techniques, price patterns, and a firm understanding of supply and demand levels. His goal as an Online Trading Academy Instructor is to take you to the next level. As he puts it, "It might be that you are only hitting on four of your eight cylinders, so while doing things right, there are other weaknesses that are preventing you from taking the next step."
