Our Team
Chris Vermeulen
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Chris Vermeulen is the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of The Technical Traders and the originator of the investing philosophy known as Asset Revesting.
With nearly three decades of market experience, Chris has dedicated his career to helping investors navigate changing conditions with greater clarity, discipline, and confidence. His work is grounded in a simple belief: investors should not be forced to endure unnecessary setbacks in order to pursue long-term success.
Chris began investing in the late 1990s and experienced firsthand the financial and emotional cost that major market losses can create. Those early lessons shaped his long-term philosophy around risk management, capital preservation, and adapting to changing market conditions rather than relying on outdated assumptions.
Over the years, he developed systematic approaches centered on technical analysis, market behavior, money flow, and portfolio stewardship. That thinking ultimately evolved into Asset Revesting — an approach focused on owning strength, reducing exposure during weakness, and protecting what investors have worked decades to build.
Chris is also the author of Asset Revesting, and Technical Trading Mastery, where he shares many of the principles that have guided his career through multiple bull and bear market cycles.
Today, Chris leads The Technical Traders with a continued focus on helping thoughtful investors protect time, preserve plans, and move forward with greater peace of mind.
