The Highstrike Team
Ben Zogby
CEO & Founder
I started Highstriked in 2018 with the vision of impacting the lives of traders around the world by giving them the resources I wish I had as I was learning to trade. Today, I have retired from trading and am working on growing our company’s impact in ways I never dreamed of. While I am now focusing on exciting products to further the Highstrike brand, the app being my main focus.
I have passed the educational torch to some of my most successful students to ensure you receive the best education possible.
Cam Meunier
COO
I am beyond grateful for this amazing opportunity to have such a large impact on the lives of so many people. Being part of the leadership team here has been a blessing in so many ways. I never joined with the intentions of trading, but after being around so many traders on a daily basis, I have started to pick it up. I have learned so much and look forward to trading with our team every morning!
My faith is the most important thing in my life to me. It shapes me and how I lead our team.
Clayton Bell
Discord Chat Manager
I am 21-years old and have been trading for over four years. I am the main signaler and lead our Diamond Coaching mentorship. I got into trading after I took an economics class where we had to monitor stocks throughout the semester.
“Success is simply jumping from failure to failure with no loss of confidence. The lessons learned always translate in victories.”
Ben Chaffee
Lead Instructor
I am the lead trading instructor and content creator at Highstrike. I started trading as a secondary source of income to help pay off my student loans. I help manage the team and am thrilled to be here our students and followers grow!
Outside of Highstrike, I am passionate about helping others on their fitness journey and train many on the Highstrike team!
Sage
Discord Chat Signaler
I am an options trader and seller here at Highstrike. I am a 7-figure trader and have been trading for 10 years now. I got started by learning from my cousin who trades options. I provide options and spreads signals in the Discord group as well as teach you how to trade them.
I am an avid reader and I follow the markets daily. I like to think of myself as a perpetual learning machine!
Nate Bognar
Customer Success Manager
I help to make sure each of our students has access to whatever they need in order to build upon their success. I got into trading because I wanted to live a lifestyle where I could take care of myself and those around me.
I enjoy being in nature and am planning on hiking down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon one day!
Sarah Banwart
Marketing Coordinator
I am in charge of making sure the day-to-day stuff runs smoothly. I take care of the behind-the-scenes work, product and content creation, and making sure these guys have everything they need to provide you with the best education possible.
Before coming onto the team, I used to be a mental health therapist. I am still learning how to trade but loving it!
Kevin Martin
Web & App Development
I am the head developer of the Highstrike app and work hand-in-hand with Ben Zogby to ensure that we provide you with the best trading platform possible. I am not much of a day trader but focus on building my long-term investments.
I enjoy traveling by myself and with friends. One of my favorite places I have been to is Greece.
Our Best Advice for Beginners
Don't be scared to take losses and learn from them. As long as you are disciplined in the process, losses are going to teach you more than wins ever will.
Trading is a psychological game. You have to understand how your psychological composition corresponds with your trading. If those two components aren't aligned, you likely won't reach your true potential as a trader.
Be patient. You won't become a good trader in one day, one week, or even one month. I went to engineering school for four years of undergrad and plus one for grad school and am finally being rewards for it. Trading is no different. You need to put in time and effort consistently to be rewarded in the end.
More money does not make you a better trader. If you have 8 hours to cut down a tree, spend the first 6 sharpening the saw.
Never give up. There are so many books, videos, and other resources out there that can teach you how to be a successful trader. Come into it with an open mind and don't give up after two weeks. It takes time to learn. You will make mistakes throughout your trading career. Use these mistakes as lessons to learn and to not repeat them again. If you dedicate the time and energy to learn, you will succeed.
Understand that trading is 20% technicals and 80% psychology. There is a root cause for all emotions we experience. Whenever you start to feel your emotions come into play, try to identify what you're feeling (pride, anxiety, insecurities, etc.) and why. When you attack the problem at the root cause, it'll be easier to move forward. Understanding and processing the why will help you to stay calmer in the future.
The most important thing for me when trading is making sure I have strong risk management and do my own research before entering into positions. Never trust anyone else's due diligence until you've done your own.
Trading any financial asset is inherently risky and should be treated as such. Always do your own research and analysis before purchasing or selling any financial asset. Income is in no way guaranteed and you may lose money by trading stocks and options. The purpose of our platform is to educate students on various types of trading strategies, not to trade for students, provide signals, or in any way tell people specifically what assets to buy or sell.
Have patience. Too many new traders jump in without a plan or discipline and get wrecked. You can avoid that by being patient and waiting for the opportunities the market presents. Trading isn't about answering every question correct like an exam, it's about choosing the right questions to answer.
