Online Trading Academy Instructors

Gabe Velazquez - E-Mini and Stock Course Instructor, Trader Mentor and Author

Gabe got his start in the markets as a broker trainee for Paine Webber, a mere 3 months before the market crash of 1987. He witnessed the gut wrenching fear of investors during that time period and the wild speculative euphoria of the late 90's. That experience brought to light the importance risk management plays in trading and investing. In fact, it's greatly influenced the way he trades today.

He spent 15 years as a stock and commodities broker, conducting technical analysis seminars through-out Southern California. After many years of managing other people's money, Gabe now concentrates full time on trading his own portfolio and teaching. Students will benefit from his first hand experience of daily involvement in the market. He brings with him an acute awareness and understanding of how the markets really work. Articulating this knowledge clearly, succinctly, and with enthusiasm is something students can appreciate. This gift for communicating was honed through many years of public speaking.

He currently holds a series 7, 63, 9 and 10 (securities and options principals license.)

Gabe looks forward to sharing his passion for trading and the markets with you at one of his next scheduled classes.


Testimonials

"Gabe is an outstanding instructor.  You can tell that he really cares about his students and he was very good at keeping the class on track and focused on the really important points.  This was no easy feat since our class ranged from novice first time students to experienced traders.  Gabe showed grace, tact, and professionalism as he reinforced the key points and kept the class moving forward.  I feel confident that I will get up and running in my trading operation very quickly and that Gabe and Online Trading Academy have improved my chances for success by showing me how to minimize loss and finding high probability trading opportunities."

"Mr. Velazquez was outstanding. Not only he does have the highest level of knowledge trading, he's an excellent communicator. In addition, he uses excellent instructional strategies (clear learning objectives, delivery of content, checking for understanding and guided practice)."

Wayne Z., February 2008

"Gabe is very thorough, uses practical examples to drive a point across. I appreciate the slower pace of the class so learning is easier. Gabe keeps reinforcing basic principles, review, review, and review. Gabe is sincere in helping us learn to play the market. I am happy to finally learn how to short a stock. This was my primary goal however I learned much more."
