Alan Parry

Alan Parry started trading in 1997 after doing a Joe Ross course, and very soon found that options trading was where he was most comfortable. Because of the limited resources available to options traders he developed his own spreadsheets to fit in with his style of options trading. These spreadsheets were developed over the years and became the Matrix Options course.

Alan is an example of someone who lives at the tip of Africa, in Cape Town, yet is able to trade the US 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”.
