Trading Instructor
Greg Kaake
Forex and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
The entrepreneurial spirit has been Greg's motivational factor throughout his career, as he has worked in many different facets of business including:
establishing and operating a dietary supplement company, commercial and residential construction company and also designing for the restaurant franchise
food service industry.
Greg started his full time career in the world of finance in the late 1990's, after being educated on both technical and fundamental
industry mainstays, from professionals in the field. With little effort, Forex stood out from all other asset classes as one that would
become the most ubiquitous. He made studying the Forex market his full-time pursuit.
Shortly after his entry into the markets, Greg began offering his investment model as a way for others to profit from the performance goals he
continues to meet and exceed. During this time, he continued to teach the ebbs and flows of Forex in seminar style and private groups. Traveling
throughout the US and abroad, he instructed thousands of students on how to be self-directed traders by way of interbank electronic trading. Due to his
former successes, Greg also has taught fundamental and technical trading in Mainland China, working in conjunction with one of China's premier
Universities of Finance and Economics.
Greg has had the privilege to train thousands of people in the currency markets, from Wall Street to main street. He has traveled throughout the US, and
abroad, instructing students in trading the financial markets through Interbank Electronic Trading. He teaches Forex Part I and II and other classes
pertaining to trading, teaching students technical and fundamental analysis, and proper risk/money management strategies. Greg exploits perceived market
inefficiencies in the price of selected contracts in both long and short positions. While there is no set policy with respect to the time horizons of
these positions, he places an emphasis on the short-term time frame.

Trading Style and Methodology
About trading Greg says, "I trade according to both fundamental and technical aspects, though I lean heavier towards the technical aspects of
trading. If you learn how to properly interpret price action, then add the fundamentals to your advantage, you have created a winning edge."
