Reza Anari
obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1997, and his Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship from the University of British Columbia in 1999. He was introduced to the trading world when he first started working at Pharmaceutical companies in the US and looking at charts as his friends buying stocks crazy during 2000. It was not a professional trading follow up as he witnessed the dotcom crash of 2001.
Dr. Anari had a high level of confidence that with his dedication and past successful research and academic career, he could figure out how to make money quickly and compound that in the market. To his surprise, he kept losing money, and realized the complexity of the difficult path of becoming a consistent profitable trader. It took him ~7 years of research and investing over 40K in many educational courses, trading systems, and tools until he developed his own discretionary trading system and started taking profits consistently.
Dr. Anari moved to Singapore in 1999 and served as an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Medical University of South Carolina, and at that time found strong passion towards education and training. Meanwhile he refined his trading system and turned it into a high probability trend-following price action trading system that fits the psychology of many retail traders.
In 2015, he decided to share his trading system to aspiring traders, and developed a course in the form of video lectures and webinars. To his surprise, only 5% of his students became successful by following this course, and he quickly realized that successful students were amongst those who consistently practiced each lesson and received constant feedback from him. He became very interested in understanding why the detailed explanations did not help the traders follow his system -- he came across the book: “Cycle of Excellence Using Deliberate Practice to Improve Supervision and Training”. This helped him to understand the importance of Deliberate Practice, which is used in High Performance elite development, and why conventional academic teaching is not sufficient to develop successful traders.
In 2017, he transformed his course into a coaching system based on Deliberate Practice. He collaborated with his son, a software engineer and Machine Learning practitioner, and other successful students, to transform all of the trading lessons into Smart Drills under an innovative Learning Management System. More than 1000 students globally have taken his courses since 2015, and this new coaching/Trading system enable traders to experience a new level of results. compared to other conventional training methods.
Dr. Anari is a full-time trader managing his fund and improving the quality of trading education globally. In his spare time, he enjoys taking horseback riding lessons, skating, karate, piano, and archery.
Mr Anari’s interests range from economic sentiments, technical analysis, market commentary, strategy development, trade analysis, and risk management. He trades strategies ranging from VIX spreads, earnings plays, and income generation on all major financial derivatives such as options, futures, stocks, and ETFs. He developed models to solve for forward volatilities, used to identify pricing anomalies in equity index options and volatility index futures contracts. He also created formulas to model implied volatility before and after earnings announcements. Finally, he ranked the risk/return ratios of option income strategies in actual market conditions, and introduced new hybrid strategies.
Mr. Anari’s goal is to become a full-time proprietary hedge fund manager using a combination of derivatives and algorithmic trading strategies. In his spare time, he enjoys playing classical violin, hiking, swimming, reading, and traveling internationally.
She was highly confident that with her dedication and academic success in engineering, she could mathematically model what causes price movement, predict the market, and make money. To her surprise, she lost money, and realized that it is hard to predict market moves based on mathematical models consistently.
It took her nearly 2 years and investing over 10K in many different trading systems, educational courses, and add-on tools until she finally found the PAAT (price action trading course) offered by TradingDrills Academy. She registered for the course, and worked hard for a year to finally become a consistent day-trader on the S&P 500 Emini futures.
She finally decided to quit her full time job in May 2021, as her trading performance has improved since day one. She is now full-time trading stocks, index futures, and options. With her consistent performance in the market, and her passion of helping other traders, she decided to join the TradingDrills Academy to coach all aspiring traders who are registered in the Price Action Algo Trading (PAAT) course.
