Cory Mitchell

Updated October 23, 2026

Cory Mitchell is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT), a trader for more than 20 years, and a trading coach at Trading.biz. He is located in Calgary, Canada, and focuses on day trading stocks and forex, as well as swing trading stocks, forex, crypto, and ETFs. He has published multiple books and trading courses, all in English, and has been a featured speaker at multiple trading events. Outside of trading, he is a competitive amateur golfer.

Quote: “Trading is two distinct jobs. During trading hours, the job is that of an employee, just following the strategy. Outside trading hours, the job is that of a manager, to review and refine the strategy to assure it is worth following during trading hours.”

Two timeframes define the work. Intraday, Cory Mitchell trades EUR/USD and high-volatility stocks. He keeps that inside two hours a day. Swing positions are different: high-momentum stocks held through multi-week moves. The long-term book sits in index ETFs plus earnings and dividend growth names. The CMT and a finance degree stand behind the analysis. The practical half comes from a performance-based prop desk with no losing months between 2006 and 2009. Choosing where to trade? Start with the broker comparison pages, then read his review of the platform you shortlisted from the broker list.
