Brightstar Training, LLC provides educational products and services for people who trade in the financial markets. We take a special interest in those who desire to supplement their current income with market profits, transition into trading as an alternative career, or prepare for retirement by learning to trade.

The company was founded in 2006 by Brad E. Stych—a professional adult educator, experienced trader, and author who holds a doctoral degree in continuing and vocational education (adult education) and certification as a Chartered Market Technician. During his lifetime, Brad has trained athletes, musicians, educators, healthcare workers, and economics students. He began trading in 1995. Over time, he acquired advanced skills in technical analysis and applied these skills to trading stocks, stock options, and stock index futures.

Our central goal is to provide practical instruction that focuses upon important aspects of trading while assisting clients to maximize their strengths and develop good trading habits for the future.
