Ray Barros is a professional trader, fund manager, author, and educator. Since he started trading 20 years ago, his track record reflects a whopping 39% per annum return on a compounded basis. This means a hypothetical investment of $1,000 returned over $100,000 in the 15-year period between 1990 and early 2005.

Barros is also the author of two books—The Nature of Trends and The Ray Wave. Barros has been regularly featured in regional newspapers and publications such as Sydney Morning Herald, Your Trading Edge Magazine, Business Times, and Smart Investor focusing on his trading strategies as well as his opinions on market sentiment. They have also dealt with his track record, trading philosophy, how and why he got into trading, and what advice he would give to those wishing to become traders/investors.
