HUBERT SENTERS

Hubert Senters is a skilled veteran day trader and successful entrepreneur. His philosophy is that, “If you need to accomplish something in life, find someone who is passionate about the topic of your interest and learn everything they know about it.” That philosophy has made Hubert Senters a successful day trader today. Hubert is a firm believer that you need to have your own style & method of trading that works for you.

While working in his fleet maintenance company, he met an individual that was quite successful in trading online. Hubert sat next to his new day trading mentor every day for a year. He spent countless hours learning all that his mentor knew about the stock market and how to read the market. One year later he placed his first trade and became hooked. Eventually he sold his fleet maintenance company and began trading full time, never looking back. Hubert has been trading ever since for nearly two decades.

Hubert has a passion of helping other people, just as his mentor helped him. He is best known for his No BS approach which is both effective, refreshing and entertaining.

Steven Brooks

Steven Brooks is not your typical trader. He does not have a math or finance background and have never been to business school. Rather, Steven is a former professional baseball player who got into the markets because he needed to supplement his income on top of his $1,200 a month salary as a ball player.

From the beginning of his trading career, he realized he was not a good trader. Instead of trying to pick if stocks would go up or not, he instead decided to study the data and find patterns that repeat themselves time and time again in the market to the point where Steven’s trading style is almost purely data dependent.

Through simple, data back-tested strategies, Steven has not only been able to become a 7 figure trader, but has taught thousands of stay-at-home traders to become more consistent by following his simple, step by step, data backed trading systems.

Rob vast experience helps investors make sense of chaotic markets, and how they have changed over the years. He has developed a trademarked system of ETF analysis and portfolio construction that lies at the core of his work.
