Karsten holds a University degree in business administration, and has been in his own business since 1986.
Karsten started trading in the stock markets in 1981, and has gained much experience and knowledge in the stock and futures markets since then.
As our representative in Germany, Karsten translated Joe's books into the German language. He organizes and interprets live seminars with Joe in Germany.
It's a delight to watch Karsten trade. His years of experience have made him a master trader in his own right. He makes it look so easy. His trading is simple and direct, and he earns his living from his trading. To be associated with the Ross name means having the highest levels of honesty and integrity. Karsten has both.

Our friend and partner, Francesco Fabi, graduated from Bocconi University, Milan, in 1989, with a degree with highest honors in Business Administration. He then worked as manager and consultant to various major Italian and foreign manufacturing and retailing companies.
He started trading when he decided to manage his own savings. He studied many methods and techniques, but the best results came when he met Joe Ross, in 2002, and was individually tutored by Joe, thus learning directly from him how to trade. Since that time, Francesco has traded very successfully, applying only Joe Ross' approach and methods.
Since September, 2003, Francesco Fabi is the official and exclusive representative of Joe Ross and Trading Educators in Italy.
Francesco trades for a living. He privately tutors others on how to trade, and translates and promotes Joe Ross' seminars and books.

Our Office in South Africa is represented by:
Alan Parry
Representative of Trading Educators in South Africa

Our South African website:
http://www.tradingeducators.co.za
Alan Parry started trading in 1997, after taking a Joe Ross course, and very soon found that options trading was where he was most comfortable and successful. Because he found only limited and terribly expensive resources available to options traders, he developed his own spreadsheets to fit in with his style of options trading. These spreadsheets have developed over the years, and are now an indispensable tool in his daily trading.
Watching Alan trade is seeing a master at work. I doubt if there are many traders around who know more about options than Alan. Joe says: "Alan has truly become one of the greatest options traders in the world today."
Alan has now integrated his extremely helpful spreadsheets into a complete course with a seventy-page manual, and explicit instructions on how to make money in the options markets. There is also a Training Aid Spreadsheet that will drastically cut the trader's learning time. Alan's Option Matrix takes all the complication out of trading options. He reveals the utter simplicity that can be found there, and has shown that trading options doesn't require a PhD to be successful.
Alan also sends out a weekly options watchlist (WOW Report) on Thursdays, so that subscribers can take advantage of selling options before the weekend. The watchlist is in three parts, so that the trader can prepare for up-coming trades before they actually happen.
Alan is a living example of someone who resides at the tip of Africa, in Cape Town, yet is able to trade the U.S. markets daily. As he says, " No matter where you are in the world, you can trade the markets as long as you have a computer with Internet access."
Our Office in Czech Republic is represented by:
Ludvik Turek
Representative of Trading Educators in Czech Republic

Our friend and partner, Ludvik, is our representative for Trading Educators in Czech Republic. Ludvik is an aggressive trader, capable of living entirely from his own trading. Ludvik is an extemely versatile trader and, in essence, has done it all. Ludvik is one of those rare persons who can see through to the simplicity in trading. His style is not at all complicated.
However, since educational materials for trading were so scarce in eastern Europe, Ludvik figured out much of what he does in trading on his own. When he finally came across Joe Ross' materials, he knew he had found what he wanted — educational material and trading methods that fit with his own style of trading.
Ludvik has been independently training traders in eastern Europe for several years, being the first, and without question the best, to fill a desperate need for trading education. He has worked hard to bring the finest available materials to those seeking to learn more about trading in his part of the world. All the while, Joe Ross was seeking to bring his own teaching to eastern Europe. When they met, there was instant recognition that a relationship should be formed.

Our friend and partner, Rogerio Kirschbaum, is our representative for Joe Ross and Trading Educators in South America, including Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. He started trading when he decided to manage his own funds, which he had accumulated during his successful career as a medical doctor and psychiatrist. Rogerio studied many trading methods and techniques, but achieved his best results when he learned Joe Ross' approach to trading. It was a turning point in his life.
Rogerio currently trades for a living. At his office in Sao Paulo, he also privately tutors others on how to trade, with a fantastic, straightforward approach in trading philosophy, self-discipline, performance, and behavior, boosted by his experiences both as a psychiatrist and his hard-earned experience as a trader.
Rogerio is now in the process of translating and promoting Joe Ross' books and seminars in Portuguese and Spanish. He is thorough and diligent in everything he does. We admire his honesty and truth, and the way he truly cares about the students who come to Trading Educators.

Our Office in Spain is represented by:
Stefan Minkov
Representative of Trading Educators in Spain

Our Spanish website is
http://www.tradingeducators.es
In 1985 Stefan became interested in investing, and so started studying the stock market. At that time it was easy to make money in stocks – just pick an interesting tech stock, buy it, and in one or two years you had a decent profit in your account.
But after the crash in 1987 he began a quest to find a way to avoid repeating that disaster. This quest became easier as the internet emerged, and he found the German Trading Educators (Ross Trading) website run by Karsten Kagels.
In 2001 Stefan took Joe's "Law of Charts™" course, where he learned the Traders Trick™ pattern for entry, and realized how the market makers can help us succeed in the markets as a byproduct of their activities.
Stefan also trades options, in which he was helped to fully understand the mechanics of options by the contributions Alan Parry has made. Futures spreads are also an integral part of Stefan's trading.
Normally Stefan trades only a few markets because he thinks it’s important to concentrate on markets he understands well. He likes to trade futures options (EC, GC, and ZB) because he likes the idea of having a predetermined risk calculation. He uses point and figure charts because he likes the clear signals they give, and Joe's "Law of Charts" shows up well in them.
Stefan has lived in Barcelona for seven years now, and he speaks German, English, Spanish, and Catalan.

Maciej Goliński, our Trading Educators partner in Poland, started his trading adventures in 1994, on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. At that time traders would place their orders personally in a broker’s office, having queued for a substantial amount of time. Only VIPs could place orders by phone.
In 1996, Maciej graduated from Łodź University, Poland, with an MA degree in economics. His dissertation was titled “Evaluation of the potential of trading bonds and shares in Poland.”
In 2003 the Polish currency market was freed, and Maciej was one of the pioneers who started trading the forex market.
In 2004, having worked as a director of an international company (FMCG) for six years and as general director for three, Maciej made a decision to resign to set up his own company that would deal with trading in a professional way. Since 2005 he has been trading mainly on the CME and CBOT in futures contracts. He specializes in Daytrading.
In the past five years he has completed a number of trainings in trading, including private training with Joe Ross.
Currently he uses his experience in managing an international company and trading on the stock exchange to help grow his own company, Trading Educators Poland, and to train others in the skills of trading.
Maciej is happily married, and is the father of a two-year-old son, Mikolaj. His passions include rallies, skiing, and sailing.

Song Jiaying is the representative for Joe Ross and Trading Educators in all Chinese speaking countries: China (Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan), Singapore, and Malaysia.
She says:
I graduated in 2000 with an MBA, and then started trading. When I first read Joe’s books, I realized that in these books Joe tells only the truth about trading markets, which I had not found elsewhere. In 2005, with Joe’s blessing, I began to translate Joe’s books and seminars as the first person to introduce them to Chinese speaking countries, and to find the way to connect the Chinese market with Joe’s methods.
What I try to teach students is not only how to make money, but also how to become a successful trader.
As a happy mother-to-be, I currently trade for a living and promote Joe Ross' books and seminars in China.
All of our associates, regardless of where they work and trade, must agree to the following mission statement:
