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.”

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
