Ryan Cook is a third generation investor and educator. After the tech bubble burst, while he was working construction, Ryan realized that he had two choices; work until his heart stopped beating, or learn a safe consistent approach to the markets so that his retirement account would meet him there and be more than adequate.

Ryan has been trading since around the turn of the century, but it wasn’t until after spending some significant time with his mentor that Ryan learned a very logical top down approach to the markets. 

While Stocks and options are the two vehicles Ryan spends the majority of his time trading, Forex and Futures are anything but a mystery to him. Ryan believes understanding how one asset class may affect another, and being able to confidently trade all major asset classes gives a trader skills other traders don't have. Ryan feels that being an Instructor  for Online Trading Academy gives him the opportunity to not only help others and hone his own trading skills as well.
