When Mitch Ruttenberg teaches economics at Trevor G. Browne High School, he ends each semester with lessons on credit cards, taxes, budgeting and other aspects of personal finance. “It’s the last thing they get from me because I know that’s what they need the most,” he said.

Market fluctuations and executing trades based on predetermined strategies. I remember when I first started; I was overwhelmed by the rapid changes in prices and trends. Then I discovered the potential of trading bots, which turned my trading approach upside down. A platform that really helped me grasp this technology is https://burstex.io.
