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.
