Arman Vahdatinia is the President and Chief Market Strategist for Expo Futures & Options. Attending San Jose State University he double majored in Economics and Computer Engineering, which were the leading factors that naturally drew him to the derivative markets. As his career developed, he grew the desire to obtain a broader range of control over the accounts he managed and thus formed Expo Futures & Options. He focuses a good portion of his research on technical analysis and desires to share his knowledge and expertise to individuals that share the same passion. Often asked about his performance, he has a simple response: “Rather than tell, I’ll show you”; as noted in his nightly trade recommendations for the following day.
Primarily an option seller, his knowledge of the day to day actions of various markets portrays his ability to capitalize on distinct investment strategies. Focusing on options expiring within a 30-45 day time period allows for a higher probability of return given the inherent risk. Rather than focus on large returns, he aims for a small yet consistent accrual of capital.
