What Is Stephen Kalayjian’s Net Worth?
Stephen Kalayjian might not be a household name, but if you’re interested in trading stocks or learning more about options and futures—he is a name you need to know.
Kalayjian has been the focus of countless showcases and regularly serves up knowledge to Fox Business, Forbes magazine, Fortune, WSJ, and CNBC.
He is one of the most sought after day traders in the US—maybe even the world.
With almost four decades of trading experience under his belt and a career that spanned the US Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, and some of the largest hedge funds in the country, Kalayjian knows his stuff.
And here’s what we know about him.
The Origin Story
Stephen Kalayjian was born on February 10, 1962.
Wife & Children
Stephen Kalayjian married his wife, Carol, and the couple settled down in Katonah, New York—a small hamlet in Westchester County with a good vibe and excellent shopping.
It was in Katonah and the Somers area that Stephen and Carol raised their two kids—a son named Stephen and a daughter named Ali.
A keen outdoors family, both Stephen Jr. and Ali have made waves in high school and college sports. Stephen plays baseball, and Ali plays soccer.
A proud dad, Kalayjian has done his best to be there for his kids’ games—even making the trek to attend when both Stephen Jr. and Ali attended IMG Sports Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Like his kids, Stephen always loved sports, and he’d played baseball and football right through his college career.
Stephen has always thrived on a high octane, high stress environment, and enjoys analyzing and critiquing every aspect of day trading.
It’s an obsession, he admits.
“I’m fifty eight. I’m not gonna change after 37 years to go look at candle sticks,” said the high rolling trader when asked whether he’d like to slow down.
Sadly, Stephen and Carol began divorce proceedings in August of 2021.
The Road To Riches

Kalayjian started—like all true day trading icons—on the trading floor in New York.
It was his father who first introduced him to the trading platform at the COMEX—even helping Stephen secure his first job out of college.
It was through that first role—combined with his lifelong love of sport—that Stephen developed the endurance and discipline that would make him a rich man.
Early on, Kalayjian set himself a limit of $100 per day.
He could earn that—or lose it—and then he would stop.
That figure might have increased over the last couple of decades, but the discipline—and the strategy—remained the same.
After founding the Tiger Corporation in 1995, Kalayjian maintained his strategy of “staying flat” at close of business—and it paid off handsomely.
To date, Stephen’s team has never had an end of year loss.
Endurance has come into play for the well known trader in other areas, too.
Kalayjian spent almost a decade analyzing the markets by sight—observing trends and identifying patterns.
He parlayed that into a proprietary software to highlight key indicators and help in predicting market changes.

TradeEZ
In 2022, Stephen Kalayjian co-founded a new and immersive trader education platform: TradeEZ.
The platform is designed to help people master day trading, by providing them with live stream classes, a video library, and student case studies.
Students can choose from multiple packages—depending on how much they want to spend each month.
Kalayjian, unsurprisingly, is the key mentor for the TradeEZ platform—but he shares the stage with other greats like Grant Cardone, Speedtrader, and Jon Najarian.
Through his course, he offers access to a video library to study his charting software, to better understand the terminology used in day trading, analysis of patterns in the markets, and all the essential trading fundamentals they’ll need.
TradeEZ also offers group coaching sessions with Kalayjian, workshops, and group Q&As.
Stephen is renowned for his comprehensive training, and how involved he is in the development of his mentorees.
TradeEZ has been featured in major publications both online and in print—publications like Business Insider, Forbes, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, CNBC, CNN, and Fortune.
Net Worth
So, how much is Stephen Kalayjian worth?
Kalayjian earned most of his wealth from working for over three decades in finance, trading close to two billion shares of US stocks.
He co-founded Ticker Tocker (formerly Knowvera) and TradeEZ. “Being on the right side of the market is what Ticker Tocker is all about,” said Kalayjian.
In 2019, Ticker Tocker was named Best New Financial and Market Data Information Solution.
In early 2020, Ticker Tocker acquired Eff Creative Group.
Therefore, Stephen Kalayjian has an estimated net worth of $3 million.
