May 24-26, 2022
TradeStation’s Spring Summit, Decoding the Markets, is all about how you can see the big picture and learn how you could develop your own strategy. Observation, planning and critical thinking are necessary skills for decoding any puzzle. Those are also key skills for taking on the stock market. Traders must adapt to surprises, look at big picture information, analyze in the moment and have strong critical thinking skills.
During this event traders will be able to focus on building these skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, strategy development as well as learn more about fundamental and technical analysis and market insights. Sessions range from beginner level to advanced, across multiple asset classes.
For the first time, we will host this event during the week Tuesday through Thursday.
