Online Trading Academy Instructors

Sal Giamarese has 20 years of Wall Street experience. He is a graduate of Rider College with a B.S. in Finance. He is currently an active trader and has held NASD licenses series 7 and 55.

After graduating from college, Sal walked onto the floor of the American Stock Exchange and asked for a position. They were impressed by his boldness and gave him a job as a runner, then quickly promoted him to a reporter, then specialist clerk. An opportunity arose 8 years later wherein Sal became a trader at an Institutional Hedge Fund, where eventually he rose to vice president in the firm. Besides trading, his duties included teaching, training, and managing new traders and establishing trader risk parameters. During this time, Sal created and successfully implemented his own proprietary trading system. He also taught technical analysis, day and swing trading at All-Tech Investments’ headquarters.

Sal started his own trading firm in 1999 where he implemented his previously mentioned proprietary system and used all of his experience to profitably trade for his own account.

Sal’s teaching style is based on real life experiences. He tends to use the “keep it simple” rule where complicated subjects are made easy to understand. He has taught his wife Christina how to trade. She trades while Sal teaches. He will go the extra mile to make sure his vast knowledge of the markets and trading is conveyed and understood by all of his students.

Testimonials

"No nonsense. Well informed. Able to engage the class with humor and reality checks in such a way that time literally flew on each day."

Brenda M., November 2008

"I have attended the Online Trading School 7-day seminar this past week. Sal Giamarse was my instructor. in teaching the materials, I found Sal to be extremely informed and well prepared to maintain student interest for the 7 seven hour sessions; no small feat. Sal conveyed the complex information in a logical, layered way to students who have vstly varied employment histories and educational level backgrounds. After being a specialist on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for 28 years, I was already familiar with many of the concepts Sal was teaching. I attended the seminar to translate my knowledge of the market into the different mentality of day trading. I believe the Online Trading School approach has prepared me to be a successful day trader by teaching the discipline and science of day trading."

"Sal taught from a position of simplicity - a ton of material, information and other things to adsorb but focused on making your experience in the classroom uncomplicated. The benefit will be a more well planned approach to my trading day to achieve success. Sal is an excellent instructor with a sound approach and great rapport with the class."
