James caught the trading "bug" and interest in investing...
JAMES LYCZAK serves as the Chapter Host for the College Station, Texas region. Although not born in Texas, James always says "I got here as quick as I could!" James often goes by just "J."
EVERY TRADER HAS A STORY: Originally from Kansas, James first caught the trading "bug" and interest in investing through the Stock Market Game contest in high school. He started investing in equities and went on to learn futures options. James has been fortunate to live in multiple states and in the Southern Caribbean as his wife is an equine veterinarian and involved in veterinary education. While living in the Southern Caribbean he started using the popular TAS Market Profile™ system to trade stocks. He admits that for a period of time thereafter he went down the common rabbit hole of "faux mentors" selling unproven day-trading systems. However, James was thrilled to reconnect with Trader Steve in 2023 and continues to learn best practices and how to leverage TAS Charts for confident trading daily.
FUN FACT: James enjoys the art of smoking meats and growing the hottest of the hot pepper plants that turn into incredible sauces to share with friends.
FAVORITE WORDS: "Good trading is following your strategy that day, it’s not whether you made or lost money that day." ~ Dr. Van Tharp
PAYING IT FORWARD: As trading has afforded James the flexibility to enjoy a productive career (and life) in a wide variety of communities without geographical constraints, he enjoys helping others learn about the skill of trading as a mechanism to break free from traditional time and location limitations.
