About Your Host:
Brian Kahn began trading when computerized trading was in its infancy in 1998 in Chicago, Illinois. He traded German and US note and bond futures, scalping the markets for seconds at a time. Since moving to Park City, he has developed an interest in longer-term strategies that fit a life "away" from the centralized market. He has mentored numerous individuals, businesses, and money managers who all have various risk tolerances and goals and loves to share his passion for the markets with others.
