John Carter: Trader behind TradeTheMarkets

John Carter's father was a Morgan Stanley stock broker. Carter was introduced to options trading and stock trading when he was a sophomore in high school. He has been day trading full time for the past 19 years.

John Carter's college major was international finance and he studied at the University of Cambridge, England. He graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with degrees in History and Economics.

John Carter was never that intrigued by the brokerage side of the trading world. Instead, he liked to try and test various online trading strategies through his college and well into his corporate jobs. He became quite adept at making money and keeping money in his day trading account. The road was not always easy and John learned his lesson the hard way like many day traders out there.

John Carter eventually found a trading system he was satisfied with. He pursued full-time professional trading in 1996. Eventually he grew tired of day trading by himself in his office and chatting with his Arrowana (a large fish). John proceeded to launch TradeTheMarkets.com to post his day trading ideas and trades.

John Carter today is a Commodity Trading Advisor with Razor Trading. Recently, McGraw Hill commissioned him to write a book entitled Mastering the Trade. Mastering the Trade by John F. Carter was released in January, 2006. Carter's trading book soon climbed the charts at Amazon.com. Carter was also featured on ABC Money with his new online trading book "Mastering The Trade."

John relies on physical activity to keep his sanity and to deal with the financial swings in the day trading markets. John and his subscribers encounter many ups and down together in the world of day trading online. John clears his head swimming, cycling, reading, and playing with his newborn son.
