Increasing capital is of course the goal of any trader. I work with my clients to help them try and achieve their goals in futures trading. I understand that all individual traders are at different experience levels and have various ways of approaching the markets. Through my experience in the markets, I am able to assist traders of all abilities, including traders that are new to the markets and high-net worth investors and traders with years of experience. Regardless of your trading background, I strive to increase your overall trading skills. I believe money management is fundamentally the most important factor that determines success in the markets. Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Industry Background:
I am currently a registered Series 3 Associated Person. I have obtained my Series 7 and Series 63 licenses in the past. Prior to the collapse of MF Global, I worked in the Lind-Plus division of Lind-Waldock as a full-service market advisor for approximately 10 years.

Market Focus:
Metals (gold, silver and copper), Energies (crude oil and gas), Currencies (eurocurrency and dollar index), Grains (beans and wheat), Financials (S&P and bonds)

Technical Study Background:
I use a variety of technical studies to profile the markets. I rely heavily on: bar chart patterns, Relative Strength Index, moving averages and volume/open interest. I combine these technical studies along with other proprietary indicators to help define entry and exit points for both futures and option contracts.

Advisory Background:
MRCI Research, Larry Williams, Ken Roberts and Hightower Reports

Analysis Preference:
I focus my attention primarily on the technical aspects of the market. I believe once you have read the news in the Wall Street Journal or even the latest news on your computer screen or smart phone, the news has already been priced into the market. Therefore, once a market has validated a pre-specified technical level, I will look for fundamental information to confirm the technical indicators.
