A native of rural Montana (USA), Shain approaches the market from a blue-collar perspective. With a background in residential construction, oil field services, and financial writing, he favors common sense over elegant analytics. Shain's mantra sums up his views on trading capital: Keep it simple!
Shain holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Finance from the University of Montana (B.Sc. Finance, 2002). In his college days, he had an accomplished baseball career competing in the NWAAC and NCAA Big XII conferences. Shain's collegiate experience provides the backdrop for his "financial athlete" trading philosophy, where success is based on the three D's — desire, discipline, and dedication.
Shain's trading career began shortly after the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. As the housing market crashed, the construction industry took an unprecedented hit. Out of necessity, Shain turned his attention to the futures markets in the spring of 2010. He's been there — in one form or another — ever since.
Over the past 10+ years, Shain has traded everything from shares, crypto, and forex to CME futures. The only thing he hasn't traded is his small collection of vintage baseball cards!
From a strategic standpoint, Shain is focused primarily on intraday scalping and day and swing trading strategies. Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci Retracements are his indicators of choice within a multiple time frame context.
Shain's favorite markets are CME WTI crude oil futures, CME gold futures, the US equities indices, and FX majors.
Shain takes a hands-on approach to relaying his market knowledge to other traders. Whether on a live stream, in video lessons, or in a blog, he breaks down complex topics into understandable terms.
Be sure to check out one of Shain's streams or trade ideas in the HowToTrade trading room. The streams go live twice each day, where he breaks down the session's key events and market moves. If you have any questions, submit them via Live Chat or Private Message, and Shain will answer promptly.

From the South East of England, Connor comes from an academic background achieving a first-class degree in Finance & Economics from Bournemouth University. This industry is all he knows, as from a young age all of his studies, research, and learning have ties back to economics. Connor comes from a “millennial” era, which is serving him in good stead to understand how social media has driven much of the world today. Away from this, his passion lies in sports which is what he enjoys in most of his spare time.
Connor’s journey very much started at university 9 years ago, but his career accelerated after landing a job at a global FX & CFD’s brokerage in a sales & support role. This experience gave him valuable insight into the functionality of brokers behind the scenes, where his trading journey really began. Connor was then promoted to launch the analyst department at the company as the senior market analyst, where his trading skillset grew to a stage where he became the funded trader he is today, where he is an analyst at howtotrade. For someone in his mid 20’s, you may be surprised at his view of Cryptocurrencies!
Smart Money. This is Connor’s bread and butter when it comes to trading. He has developed a way of trading that combines fundamental knowledge from his studies, with smart money price action. Over the past 7 years, Connor has explored the concept of liquidity as being the real driver behind markets. His favourite market? The NASDAQ100, without question! However, he does also trade various US Dollar pairs and dabbles in commodities.
Connor’s teaching style evolves around breaking down complex economic analysis into something relatable for everyone to understand, seen as most of the time “complex” language is used to defer retail traders from looking at the real drivers of the market. He is also extremely approachable, and will support your development at every opportunity, constantly making sure everyone understands the concepts during the live stream so no one is left behind!
Our daily live streams bust the jargon and give you actionable trading skills, different strategies, and trade ideas. No matter your level of experience, you’ll learn exactly what moves the markets and how to trade them.
