Jim Prince

Jim Prince is CommodityTrends’ Head Trader & Educator. As such he trades a number of company accounts that were set up to test, demonstrate, and put into practice his trading methods. Although he has traded for over 30 years, he has never been one to rest on his laurels. He continues to look for new ways to approach the markets and develop trading methods with a focus on risk-management as well as profitability.

Over the past 25 years he has taught tens of thousands of students the art and science of trading. He has developed numerous trading programs and courses, from beginner level to advanced. A popular educator, he has presented training seminars across the country and has held hundreds of webinars. His students appreciate his ability to make technical concepts easy to understand, his no-nonsense approach to trading, and his easy-going teaching style.

Over his years of experience as a trader and an educator Jim’s methods have evolved from offering basic education in trading the markets to the highly developed CommodityTrends Trading Plan.
