Angie fell in love with trading when her family purchased Wizetrade and CommandTRADE software in the fall of 2005. While attending York College, City University of NY pursuing Pre-Med and Psychology degrees, she began trading options because she "enjoyed the leverage provided from the same equity movement, and the fact that trading options gives me better diversity."

After relocating to Dallas in early 2007, Angie joined the Wizetrade team. "In New York, I was helping some of my friends learn more about the markets and how to take advantage of its movements and I thought it would be cool to do this on a larger scale with The Wizetrade Group.
