BRETT BAKANEC

Founder And CEO

A former math teacher turned financial advisor, Brett had a vision of bringing the two together to create a company focused on helping individuals understand the market so they could make better decisions and maximize their returns. After years of learning and studying the market, helping 100's of families along the way, Brett started to dabble in the options market and it was there he found his true passion.  Like many individuals, however, the first year did not go over so well.  Down more than he would like to admit, he stopped trading options but remained focused on the end goal – becoming a successful options trader and building a company designed to help others do the same.

​

For the next year and a half, Brett’s only focus was learning everything he could about options.  Buying all the books, seminars and training videos he could find, it became a daily obsession to learn as much as possible.  After those 18 months, he decided to test the knowledge obtained and boy did it pay off.  Only two months later, he was able to quit his job with JPMorgan Chase and become a full time options trader.  

 

Today, not only does Brett trade options through his own accounts, he has become a top trader for one of the most well respected options trading proprietary trading firms in the US.  

 

When he’s not trading options, you can find him spending time with his wife and two kids, watching his favorite Chicago sports teams and enjoying life to the fullest.
