In 1998, Co-founders Howard Johnson and Martha Stokes, C.M.T. introduced a new approach to teaching people how to trade and invest successfully in the market.

 

This approach, TechniTrader®, has become the definitive answer for anyone looking for a complete educational program, tailored toward each student's goals and capital base.

 

Every person that is part of our Guidance Team answers any and every student question. They will tell a student the truth about trading in the stock market- no hype, no sales pitch.

 

Since our beginning, each member of our Guidance Team undergoes rigorous training and testing. From our C.M.T. to Senior Technical Analyst to Associate Technical Analysts to Tools Support Specialists, we are dedicated to teaching you how to reach your financial goals. We watch the market everyday and actively trade- always tracking current market conditions.
