Bio:
Ken Calhoun is the president of Daytrading University and StockTradingSuccess.com (with Steve Nison). Having provided online training to active traders from over 32 countries since 1999, he is an internationally published trader who's earned industry acclaim for his professional trading systems. Mr. Calhoun has been featured in leading trade publications and events such as Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine, Active Trader magazine, MoneyShow Traders Expos, Equities.com, TheStreet.com, Equities.com and CBS's MarketWatch.com.

Ken pioneered modern-day Tape Reading strategies for active traders. Although recently copied by his competitors, Ken has been the industry's authority on this topic for over a decade, publishing "The Tale of the Tape" article in 2002 Active Trader magazine, speaking to international crowds of traders at MoneyShow Traders' Expos and more.

Here's Ken being interviewed many years ago by Tim Bourquin on how Ken uses tape reading (one of many professional strategies that traders learn from Ken in his popular live TradingTheOpen.com trading room):

Check "as featured in" logo references. We started doing this back in the early days, 1999, and were also copied. Just because a website says "as featured in" or "as seen in" and has famous logos on their site doesn't mean they are telling the truth about having actually been featured there. That's why I have hotlinks to actual sites we've been featured in, so you can see that were were in fact featured there. It's a shame, but many trading educators mislead about this, too. Check proof. It counts here, too. It's unfortunate, but the trading education industry has many dishonest/phony people in it (in addition to a few authentic pros). So we strongly encourage you to do your due diligence before spending any money on anybody's trading courses, especially P&L proof.

Also check for VIDEO Testimonials from traders like we have here from our traders extensively at Trade Mastery & Daytrading University, to prove that the educator is someone that others trust, like we have from dozens of traders on our sites. See our testimonial page to watch plenty of enthusiastic traders speaking out about the quality and professionalism of our trading... (thanks)!

See why thousands of traders worldwide have trusted us for professional day and swing trading training.

Read what one of the most-respected trading industry magazine editors has to say about our course we co-produced with Steve Nison:

My Preferred Trading Techniques:

We primarily use time & sales "tape reading" patterns with breakout & gap candlestick charts.

Favorite technical indicators: candlestick chart patterns (hammer, shooting star, engulfing and 3-line breaks), Average Directional Index (ADX), micro-cup patterns Average True Range (ATR), volume breakouts Breakout & gap play open-range daytrades for 2 to 20 minute roundtrips, done before 11am.

Swing trades using 15-day charts for 2-to-15 day round trip swing trades Day trading with 1-minute candlestick charts, Tier relative strength, eg internets, semiconductors, biotechs, retail, oil and software sector plays

Volume breakouts in strongest-sector stocks on new 2-day high/low support/resistance Key Market internal indicators including $TRINQ, $COMPQ, VIX and more.

We look at both daily gap and breakout plays as well as a core basket of trading stocks

Most importantly, we explain why trade entries and exits are of interest, based on TA indicators. like 2-day open range breakout patterns, 1-minute candlestick chart patterns and time & sales prints. We also use intraday reversals off support areas and breakthroughs above resistance patterns on volume.

Many traders lack the tools, training, discipline, and patience to be successful. Personally I believe that for myself, papertrading for the first couple of years before trying to trade live capital would have been a wise approach. We enjoy active trading, and wish you the best in your trading activities as well. Take your time to learn our methods, and best wishes for success with your trading, once you learn our advanced techniques.

Ken is Trade Mastery & Daytrading University's founder and is a successful entrepreneur, trainer and active trader.

As a UCLA and CSULB graduate (psychology) and real trader, Ken knows exactly how to coach and help you with the specific entry and exit "mechanics of the trade". You'll participate in world-class interactive trading activities with him that you need to help make your trading approach more professional.

Fact: most trading "coaches" don't even trade, or aren't UCLA-degreed in pscyhology. Since Ken has both, he's uniquely positioned in the trading industry to be one of the more valuable resources available today for active traders.
