Management Team

Brett Fogle

Brett Fogle is the founder of The Options University. He has a strong background in stock and option trading, candlestick charting, fibonacci trading as well as technical analysis.

He has been active in the markets for over 9 years and started and ran an online options related advisory service which gave members daily option picks and market commentary for a monthly subscription fee. He ran this service for two years, before selling out to a larger online advisory service and later founded The Options University.

"Much of my trading background is rooted in short-term swing trading and options trading but after the market crash of 2000, I recognized the need for risk management and effective porfolio protection. Options, when used properly, are the best way to protect your financial interests in the markets today."

Matthew Buckley

Matthew Buckley is the Chief Strategy Office and a Partner at the Options University. Matt was formerly the managing director of strategy for a well known volatility arbitrage options trading firm, one of the largest in the country. He was the CEO of ONN.TV (The Options News Network) and is also a nationally recognized speaker on business leadership, execution, and risk management.

Matthew Buckley is a veteran C level executive with extensive leadership experience from the front lines to the front office. A former decorated Navy fighter pilot, he graduated from the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) and flew 44 combat missions over Iraq. While on active duty he taught himself how to trade options and has been successfully trading for over 15 years.

Matthew’s unique background makes him a highly successful options trader. He applies many fighter pilot methodologies and techniques to his trading such as executing a well defined strategy with predetermined exit points, having a contingency plan, and debriefing each trade to get lessons learned he can apply to improve performance. He teaches traders how to sort through information overload to ensure that they have the highest probability of success before squeezing the trigger.

Greg Loehr

Greg Loehr has been active in the options trading industry since 1990 when he first began working for the preeminent proprietary options trading firm Susquehanna Investment Group. Loehr began his career on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in Susquehanna’s FX futures and options operation as part of a team supporting five currency option traders, as well as the firm’s traders on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the London spot currency trading desk.

His professional training came in the form of game theory, quantitative option theory and pricing, and position risk management, and he spent time training with the firm’s founding partners before going on to trade the firm’s capital for the next three years as an equity options market maker on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

Loehr co-founded Third Millennium Trading, LLC with a Susquehanna colleague after leaving that firm in 1995. He continued to trade on the floor of the CBOE and co-managed an off-floor trading operation with a book that grew to more than $100 million. He also was responsible for firm compliance and education, and training the firm’s market makers to trade the company’s capital.

After nine years as a member of the CBOE, Loehr left the trading floor to manage his own investments full-time. In 2004, he discovered his passion for sharing his knowledge with others, teaching options strategy, and has been teaching online courses and weekend seminars ever since. Loehr’s approach to options education breaks down “theory to tactics” as he details the core skills used by every professional on Wall Street into useable and practical details we can all follow.
