Howard Johnson is now retired from TechniTrader. He was a Senior Trading Manager for a closed fund. During his years as a professional trader, he developed proprietary trade order systems, trade risk calculators, and trading plan calculators, which he generously shared with our students. Howard toured the US & Canada as a popular speaker & educator. His expertise was trade management, risk management, and a proprietary order entry and exit process that he developed during his professional trading career, which is similar to the order systems used by Dark Pools.

Howard worked directly with a NYSE Market Maker as he developed the proprietary order types, stop losses, and trailing profit stops taught in TechniTrader Courses. His brilliant concepts so impressed the Market Maker that some incorporated those concepts to the business. His diverse background includes CEO of three companies, software developer, production engineering, video production, audio engineering, and electronics engineering. He was an avid professional day and option trader before retirement. He started investing while in college. Howard’s passion for teaching and his careful attention to details made him a favorite among our students.
