Sam Evans
UK Forex, E-mini Futures, Power Trading Workshop, and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
After leaving University in 1999, Sam thrust himself into the media world, working as an executive producer and part-time
presenter for London's Capital FM. Roles in the record and film industry followed, where Sam conducted many promotional interviews
and honed his presentation skills for nearly 7 years. With a strong desire to work for himself, Sam left the media industry behind
and spent an intense 18 months studying to become a professional Life Coach, embarked on various property investments and gave in
to his childhood fascination with the money markets by training to become a trader with Online Trading Academy. Since his
graduation, he has been a full-time trader, specializing in Stock Index Futures and Forex.
Under the guidance and mentorship of some of Online Trading Academy's best instructors, Sam himself joined the teaching roster
and forged his own unique style of trading. A devoted student of the Market, Sam's focus is on strict risk management discipline,
combined with a realistic approach to understanding the true nature of Price Action. Fuelled by a passion for the markets, Sam now
teaches and presents for Online Trading Academy, welcoming and helping others into the rewarding world of trading.
