AlphaShark Trading was founded in 2011 (under KeeneOnTheMarket.com) as a mean to facilitate the ‘new wave’ of trading. With the rise of online brokerages in the 1990s, anyone with computer and internet connection could execute trades in their portfolio without the assistance of a broker. This ‘new wave’ of trading and affordable, easy to access liquidity led to a surge in the number of ‘retail’ traders (individual investors who actively trade their own accounts).
AlphaShark Trading is an education service and financial blog and designed directed towards other ‘new wave’ traders. While impossible to eliminate risk entirely, we strive to provide the best information possible to manage risk effectively when trading. Additionally, the site serves as a community for traders around the world, removing the isolation felt by many in the profession.
