As an integral component of CTC's success, the importance of employee education is difficult to overstate. We firmly believe that the integrity of our culture depends upon our investment in employee education and internally generated growth. Most of our team members arrived without industry experience; CTC's educational focus continues to be our means to the trading end. Utilizing our state-of-the-art training area, each new CTC employee enters a formal education program that rivals the industry's best.


CTC employees begin their career with an intensive ten-week training program that includes live and video lectures, classroom time and discussion. Our education department is led by Sheldon Natenberg, a renowned options trader, author of the "bible" of options trading "Option Volatility and Pricing," and a featured speaker at exchanges and institutions around the world. Suffice it to say that when you start out learning on that level, you're already in the lead.

The initial basics class is only the beginning. We also offer a merit-based advanced program, which includes instruction from both Sheldon and our partners, some of the finest talent in the business.
