Corey Lane
Options and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
In trading, as in life, how you think determines the results you achieve. For Corey Lane, a dramatic shift in thinking
resulted in a change in careers and subsequent financial success. As a drummer in an Orlando-based band signed to a major
record label, Corey was following his dream of being a musician but was frustrated with the financial turmoil associated with
the music industry. A meeting with a good friend and accomplished trader introduced him to the markets, and thus began his quest
to learn all he could about trading. Though still a musician at heart, he has turned his passion to investing and has devoted
himself to trading full-time. After four successful years of full-time trading, he is now sharing his extensive knowledge with
others as an Educator and Mentor.
Corey has experience trading equities and E-mini futures, but focuses most of his attention on the incredibly flexible and
versatile world of options trading. With his keen understanding of options, volatility, and advanced strategies, he is not only
able to profit in all market conditions, but he has the ability to take this complex information and present it in an
easy-to-grasp manner, accelerating student's learning curve.
“Students quickly sense that I am passionate not only about the markets, but I'm equally passionate about the impact I have
on their future success in the markets,” Corey says.
Corey is a dedicated teacher and strong believer in the fact that 99% of being successful in the markets depends on risk
management, and he will teach you how to manage your investments while protecting your capital. His goal is to raise your level
of market sophistication and empower you to make educated financial decisions. He is committed to assisting you develop a clear
plan for achieving your goals.
“As an instructor, I find that I constantly challenge myself to exceed my students' expectations. Great teachers and mentors
have had a measurable impact on my growth as a trader, and it's gratifying for me to provide the same for my students.”
What students are saying about Corey Lane:
"Corey has a great sense of humor but more importantly has exceedingly high energy (all day long...)and was extremely
passionate about options. He knows them inside, upside, outside, down!!! Online Trading Academy has a real asset in having Corey as one of their
instructors. He's pleasant and answered everyone's questions in a manner that everyone understood. He uses the white board and is at the projector
screen making sure we know where to look and why we want to know that info. I sure hope you have Corey back in the Baltimore location again. He's
dynamite!!! Having hired instructors in our own business, I see fabulous potential for Corey. He is the best communicator. A person can have technical
abilities, but to be able to relay the complicated information to others (good communication skills) is a true gift and Corey has that gift! Thank you
Corey!"
