Eric Peterson

Options Trading Coach

Expert Market Strategy & Mentorship

With over 25 years of market experience, Eric specializes in navigating the complex intersection of macroeconomics and institutional money flow to help retail traders find their edge.

Eric Peterson’s journey in the financial markets spans a quarter-century, beginning in the early, volatile days of the Forex market. Originally from Southern California and now based near the stunning landscapes of Zion National Park in Utah, Eric has spent decades watching the technological evolution of trading empower the modern retail investor.

Driven by a deep fascination with macroeconomics and the mechanical structure of global monetary systems, Eric transitioned into trading to secure financial independence in an increasingly unpredictable corporate world. His approach is built on the philosophy that trading is a professional skill—one that requires the same discipline and infrastructure as any successful business.

Having been a student of institutional strategies and “professional banker” methodologies, Eric understands that surviving the markets means understanding the “elephants” in the room—the major institutions that control global money flow. He joined the NetPicks team over a decade ago, bringing his extensive knowledge of options and futures to help Mike manage and grow the educational side of the business.

As a mentor, Eric emphasizes the psychological aspect of the craft. He believes that while executing a trade is simple, managing the “emotional roller coaster” that follows is where success is won or lost. By focusing on structured plans and predefined rules, he helps traders worldwide stay disciplined, consistent, and prepared for ever-evolving market conditions.
