Mike Baghdady is a 25 year veteran of the financial markets. He is a graduate of the American University at Cairo in Egypt. He is a Market Technician Association member and has held NASD licenses series 3, 7, 55 and 63.

Mike began his career as a physical grains trader in a commodity trading house.

Since then he worked as a Commodities broker, Stock broker, Futures analyst, Options trader, and as an instructor for both Foreign Currency Exchange and Equities Markets. Prior to joining Online Trading Academy full time, most recently as an equity trader and an instructor at Schonfeld Securities and trading instructor for FXCM, Mike has had extensive experience in teaching and mentoring hundreds of traders. His financial acumen and love of teaching fosters a unique symbiotic relationship for both his students and himself.
