Team TRADEway • March 20, 2024
The TRADEway Coaches share the vision of helping Christian families become active traders who build lasting legacies. Every TRADEway Coach has a unique story about how they became a part of the TRADEway family and how they navigate the Stock Market God’s way, and we’re excited to share those stories with you.
Meet Ben Russell
About Ben Russell:
Ben Russell is an active trader who enjoys following the market and constantly learning about how it behaves. He is a technologist, and enjoys being able to apply his passion for finance with technology as a trader. Ben has been married for over 30 years and enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, camping, and enjoying the incredible creation God has made. Ben currently serves as the Director of Client Services at TRADEway. Ben has over twenty years experience in the technology industry and has been an active trader since 2011.
When you joined the TRADEway team:
2013
Area of expertise at TRADEway:
AMPT, Precision Pro, Market Corners, Investment Advisory Services, Ultra Portfolio Trading
What is your "why" for being on the TRADEway team?
Equipping other Kingdom-minded believers to reach for goals well beyond just money.
What do you love most about the TRADEway clients?
Hunger for God's best... I love seeing people chase after God more than they do the money as they grow as traders!
What do you love most about your job as a Coach?
Seeing those light bulb moments. As traders we speak a different language. When we can take a complex topic and break it down so others get it? I love that!
Fun fact or hidden talent:
I'm a violinist... or at least I used to be ;-)
Personal life:
I’ve been married for over 30 years and have three adult children.
Best trading memory:
I'll never forget the day I finally understood credit spreads and the probabilities of the math. When I figured out that with the right probabilities and market tone I could potentially pay the bills, it changed my perspective on how I would trade my time for money.
Favorite Bible Verse:
Romans 8:28. God's plans and purposes are often not what I would choose in advance... but I KNOW that He really does work out ALL THINGS for good. Sometimes it just takes longer to see as a human living in time and space!
Did you love this? Share it with your family & friends!

The long-term investing industry hasn’t really changed that much in the last 50 years as far as their message goes: ”Don’t worry about bear market crashes, just stay the course…” Many people argue that the average person on the street would be way better off if they just bought the S&P 500 and held it rather than trying to buy and sell individual stocks themselves. Well, that may be absolutely true if you have zero trading skillsets. But if you do have the kind of trading skillsets that TRADEway teaches, then the old line philosophy of buy and hold isn’t the best strategy for you. In today’s episode we’re talking about some common myths that buy-and-hold-ers propagate. Let’s get into this important discussion…

We all know that feeling… A trade is going well and you’re feeling elated anticipating taking profits. And then out of seemingly nowhere, it tanks. Man, it’s frustrating! And if this has happened to you–maybe once, maybe many times–just know, you’re not alone. You might be wondering, why did this happen? It turns out there are three common reasons why trades stop working. Once you learn these three reasons it will be easier for you to analyze your past trades and figure out what went wrong. But more importantly, once you learn these three reasons why trades stop working, you’ll be better able to prevent a trade from going south in the first place, because you’ll start to recognize the warning signs. So let’s dive in. Here are three most common reasons why people’s trades stop working.

What do you do if you’re excited about learning how to trade in the stock market but your spouse has reservations? Today we’re going to be talking about how to integrate the skill set of trading into the family, and providing some suggestions about how to share your excitement for trading with your spouse. Here at TRADEway we teach families how to take advantage of one of the most dynamic markets in history, the US stock market. But you can’t incorporate something like stock trading into your household unless there is a shared mission between husband and wife. So what do you do if you want to give stock trading a try, but you’re not sure if your spouse is “all in” on it? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

Today we’re going to be talking about three types of traders. Over the past 15+ years we’ve trained a lot of traders through our courses, and more recently our memberships and mentorship programs. And throughout that process we’ve noticed that at the end of the day you can reduce all the various trading styles and personalities into three main groups or types of traders. My hope is by sharing these with you, it will help you identify which group you’re in, and how to advance forward in light of that.
