Simon Ree has been a professional in the financial markets since 1992, beginning his career as a futures broker before moving into senior roles at Goldman Sachs and Citibank. At Goldman Sachs, he founded and led the Markets Desk in Sydney, later holding senior positions at Citibank in Singapore. With over 30 years of experience in the U.S. stock market, Simon developed deep expertise in stocks, options trading, and risk management strategies.
That front-line experience matters. Simon didn't learn to trade from a textbook. He honed his craft in real markets, through every conceivable condition: bull runs, crashes, and everything in between. By the time he left the corporate world in 2017, he had spent 25 years developing and refining strategies that actually work.
Today, Simon trades those same strategies full-time, and teaches them. That distinction is important. Unlike many trading educators, he has skin in the game. What he teaches in the classroom is what he executes in his own account, every week.
Simon is also the author of the Amazon best-seller: The Tao of Trading: How to Build Abundant Wealth in Any Market Condition, where he dismantles Wall Street myths and lays out a straightforward path to generating consistent, repeatable income from the U.S. stock market.
Why Simon can help you
Simon believes financial stress robs too many people of the life they deserve, and that it doesn't have to. His approach is built on one core conviction: that anyone, regardless of background or experience, can learn to trade successfully with the right knowledge, coaching, and mindset.
That means no unnecessary complexity. Simon teaches in plain language, using simple, proven strategies that adapt to any market environment. It also means a holistic approach, because understanding charts and managing risk is only part of the equation. Developing the trader's mindset to execute without fear or hesitation is just as critical, and it's something Simon addresses directly.
Since leaving finance in 2017, he has mentored thousands of traders through The Tao of Trading academy, helping them generate cash flow from the U.S. stock market for retirement, extra income, or full financial independence. The community is supportive, the training is practical, and the strategies are the same ones Simon uses himself.
Whether you're starting from zero or looking to sharpen an existing approach, Simon brings the experience, the teaching ability, and the track record to help you get there.
