WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla., July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TraderPlanet.com announced that Kira McCaffrey Brecht will be joining the team as Managing Editor and will be directing the company's trading education, market commentary and analysis content.

"I am thrilled to join TraderPlanet and will continue to enhance its mission of providing trader education. Successful traders are educated traders and that starts at TraderPlanet," Brecht said.

Since its inception in 2005, www.TraderPlanet.com has grown organically as individual traders gravitate to the community for the free market analysis and education. "I am proud to announce that the TraderPlanet membership continues to grow and just this week crossed the 65,000 membership line," said Lane Mendelsohn, President of TraderPlanet.

Keep TraderPlanet on your radar screen as significant developments are in the works. "We have big plans at TraderPlanet, including a website redesign to upgrade user-friendly access to key market moving analysis. TraderPlanet members can expect to see a wide range of new contributors on the site as we increase the level of original, cutting-edge education and analysis," Brecht said.

Brecht has worked as a Market Analyst, Financial Markets Reporter and Editor for 20 years. Most recently she served as Managing Editor at the now-defunct SFO magazine for 10 years. At SFO she helped build up the fledging magazine into a well-respected trading publication.  SFO magazine was founded by Russell Wasendorf Sr., the same owner as the recently failed futures brokerage firm—PFG Financial.

"I look forward to developing an even larger and more loyal following to the TraderPlanet community in the months ahead as we create original market analysis that will help active and busy traders profit by offering educational tools on how to implement those strategies," Brecht concluded.
