Schwab to Host Online, Interactive Trader Education Day on November 13

For the first time, Schwab Trading Services is hosting an all-day educational event featuring both in-person and online seminars offering real-time trading insights and in-depth educational workshops. Open to all traders at no charge, participants will have the opportunity to submit questions to Schwab’s industry professionals about trading topics and market movements and can participate in interactive education sessions from almost anywhere.

Schwab Live – the company’s unique online trader Q&A event – and a Schwab Virtual Education seminar will both be streamed live from Fort Worth, TX on Thursday, November 13, 2014. Additionally, traders who are local to the Fort Worth area are invited to join Schwab’s market professionals and fellow traders in person to learn more about trading strategies, view trading platform demos and network with attendees. Anyone interested in attending this educational event on site at the Fort Worth Convention Center can register here.

“Traders of all knowledge and experience levels are looking for education on their terms – when and where they want it. And, we know that clients are seeking real-time and actionable market insights,” said Kelli Keough, Senior Vice President of Client Experience at Charles Schwab. “This day of interactive events allows traders to easily access great content from home, in the office or on the run. The events will also provide traders with a preview of the dedicated service, insightful trading specialists and comprehensive education program that clients enjoy as part of Schwab’s personalized trading experience.”

Expanding Education

In addition to virtual education events, Schwab offers a variety of educational opportunities designed to meet the needs of traders of all knowledge levels, including live in-branch educational workshops, live online workshops and on-demand online webinars. And, Schwab has expanded its robust trader education offering throughout 2014. New features include the addition of multiple Trader Paths, bite-size lessons which have a combination of articles, videos and worksheets that walk traders through important trading topics. Traders can also now watch short video vignettes with Schwab Trading Specialists sharing their viewpoint on various trading topics such as trading psychology, trading strategy, trade planning, trade performance, and starting to trade. New online webinar and branch workshops have also been introduced, including “Investor’s Path to Trading,” “Trade Management: Managing Risk to Preserve Capital” and “Stock Selection: The Schwab Way.”

Schwab also continued to expand its “Trader’s Lunch Q&A,” an interactive webcast hosted every Thursday featuring a 15-20 minute review of the week’s market and sector activity from a technical analysis perspective. Following the market update, attendees can participate in a special Q&A session on trading-related topics that vary from week to week. Clients can access all of this and more at Schwab’s online Learning Center.
