Hi, and welcome to Base Camp Trading! I’m Drew and I am the guy that started this incredible company. I am married and have two beautiful daughters. Back in the day, I was given some incredible experiences like starting to work for a hedge fund at 21 years old and helping sell a private company for almost $30 million at only 27 years old. I am kind of nerd when it comes to history, and it’s always fascinated me because it gives us so much context for making better decisions. In every job that I’ve had, I have always gravitated toward leadership and teaching opportunities – and this company was born out of my love for teaching and helping people master complex topics. Having worked with private equity funds and hedge funds for over 15 years, I have had the privilege to advise funds that have raised and managed over $7.5 billion in assets. When I am not working on this business, I spend time with my family or enjoy being outdoors cycling, rowing, running or reading another book. I have a bachelor’s degree in management with an emphasis in entrepreneurship.

Devoted Family Man – Don, his wife of 30 years, and their two daughters (23 and 17) enjoy a wholesome lifestyle on their 9-acre horse farm in Kentucky… where he’s an active member of his church and community.
Generous Philanthropist – Don’s heavily involved with many charitable causes, especially the American Heart Association. He wrote his first book, “Options for Beginners”, to raise money for the AHA and donated every penny of profit... well over $120,000. Now he’s written a new eBook entitled, “Opportunity Knocks”, from which every single penny will go to AHA. No wonder Don was awarded AHA’s highest volunteer award.
Avid Baseball Fan – Over the years Don and his wife, Robin, have been partners in several minor league baseball franchises. And they remain partners in their local affiliate: the Lexington Legends.
And, if that’s not “All American” enough, Don’s also an Eagle Scout!
But, Don’s greatest claim to fame is the creation of ODDS® Advantage.
Don began his career in 1984 as a commodities broker and soon became Director of Research for the largest options-only research center in the country. Having unlimited access to every imaginable resource put Don light years ahead in his quest for consistent profits.
Then, in 1993… with his mind full of groundbreaking ideas and a rolodex that read like the Who’sWho of trading innovation… Don left to form his own company dedicated to finding a way to actually control your odds of winning.
It took 3 long years; but he eventually cracked the code and created the “ODDS® Advantage”...
His revolutionary ODDS® formulas enabled Don to control his odds of success so completely that he identified: 76 consecutive winning trades… 96.8% profitable trades in a 6-year independent study… $1,344,000 after-commission profits in just 3 years
Then, as technology advanced Don continued to develop and evolve “ODDS® Advantage”... earning worldwide notoriety for his low-risk, high-probability income strategies, trading tools, educational materials, and advisory services.
As a result, his commentary has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Financial Times, Barron’s, CNBC, NPR, Active Trader, Business Insider, Investor’s Business Daily, Reuters, Market Watch, Forbes, and other popular publications. He was even cited as an expert on probability and its application to the financial markets in the New England Journal of Medicine! It seems EVERYONE respects Don Fishback and his unique approach to ‘beating the market’.

Who is Todd "Bubba" Horwitz?
Todd "Bubba" Horwitz is what you call "Street Smart."
When something screwy happens in any of the markets... stock, futures, options... Bubba is the first person media giants like Fox Business News and CNBC call.
And when nothing's happening, they call him then, too.
Top fund managers with as much as $8-Billion under management go to Bubba for guidance in safeguarding their portfolios against downside risk.
And thousands of men & women schooled by Bubba enjoy security and peace of mind knowing even a modest IRA can produce a generous monthly income while continuing to grow risk-free forever.
Todd Horwitz grew up in Chicago listening to stories told by boastful floor traders. So, at the tender age of 21 he bought a CBOE membership and began his career trading in the Superior Oil Pit and OEX Pit.. which were the most active pits back in the 1980's.
The initials BUB appeared on Todd's ID tag... and still do today. With his imposing stature, straight-talk and aggressive trading style, little wonder that BUB quickly evolved into Bubba. And the name stuck.
In 1984, Bubba retired as a floor trader, he became a media commentator on the markets, an author and a consultant to billion-dollar hedge funds. He also began his own radio show called, appropriately enough, "The Bubba Show."
In recent years, Bubba has become so fed-up over the way everyday Americans are being cheated out of their retirement savings... he came out of retirement to begin teaching what he knows about successful options trading.
He now travels the country teching his insider secrets and providing hands-on guidance and word-for-word trade suggestions.
Don't miss out on a rare chance to learn Bubba's proven methods for earning extra cash income trading weekly options.

With all the commotion on the active trading floor and the huge amounts of money being traded, it was a very heady experience for this young college grad. “Exhilarating” is the word Mary Ellen used to describe her first job on Wall Street, and she knew she’d found her future. After a while, she left Goldman and took a position at Equitable Life, a large insurance firm highly regarded on Wall Street.

I've been an employee and a business owner. Both placed a lot of money in someone else's pocket. Whether it was the company or the tax man it seemed to be a lot of headache for little return.
I had a dream to quit my day job and learn to trade the stock market. And, so my journey began. Now, 29 years of trading and coaching experience later, I am living my dream! Another part of that dream was to help others avoid some of the difficult lessons I learned along the way so I founded Hit and Run Candlesticks. Now every day in our live trading room, I not only live my dream but get to share with others what I’ve learned. The most important thing I learned was that I could enter with low-risk on a short-term trade, grab my profits and sleep well at night. My bottom line has become simplicity equals success. I enjoy traveling and teaching clinics to others who are looking to take that next step to transition to Trading for a Living.

Russ Hazelcorn, better known as Eddie Z, is a full-time day trader, educator and total computer geek. He is the creator of EZBreakouts.com, an educational website focused on teaching traders exactly how to day trade and swing trade US Equities. The EZBreakout Method focuses on teaches students from the bottom up, via step by step instruction, as well as top down, by giving students Eddie's top ten stocks picks that have the highest probability of a breakout the next day, and letting them reverse engineer the selection process. This unique teaching style results in much higher student rate of success.
Eddie Z is also the founder of EZ Trading Computers, the industry leader in high powered Trading Computers for traders of all markets. Eddie founded EZ Trading Computers to achieve a single goal: “Educate fellow traders on trading technology and offer them the highest quality computers, at the lowest prices possible with the best customer service.”
Eddie Z has had a lifetime of experience in the financial markets. Eddie’s father was a commodities future trader on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). From the time he was 5 years old his father would take him to work. Even in the 1970’s, before computerized trading, he was mesmerized by all the people huddled in the trading pit screaming and getting very carried away. Interest in trading started in his teens, when his dad taught him how to draw point and figure charts by hand with pencil and graph paper. His first full-time job on Wall Street started in 1987, on the floor of the NYMEX; the very first Monday after he graduated high school.
In the 1990's and early 2000's Eddie Z had a 17-year career as a licensed stockbroker. Now he enjoys trading his own accounts exclusively. He holds an undergraduate degree in accounting from Penn State, and a MBA from Lehigh University, but he attributes real world, in-the-trenches experiences to some of his greatest learning.
