Author of the The Gold & Silver Speculator
My futures industry experience began as a Runner on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) in 1997 running orders for ING Barings.
Trading my own personal futures account for several years taught me very valuable lessons and fueled my desire to pursue a career as a Professionally Licensed Commodities Broker.
As both a trader at heart and a full-time broker, I am fascinated by the inherent risks and rewards that the futures markets make available to us on a daily basis and I truly respect those individuals who choose to enter these challenging, yet exciting markets.
As a personal investor, trader, and professional broker, I’ve closely followed the gold and silver markets for over a decade and specialize in helping my clients trade the Precious Metals markets. I believe in using technical analysis to shape specific trading strategies across all of the markets including the Energies (Crude Oil - WTI & Brent, RBOB Gasoline, Heating Oil, Natural Gas) and Currencies (FX - US Dollar Index, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, Aussie Dollar).
My technical analysis background is deeply rooted in the Pivot Point trading methodology taught by Trader/Author, John Person, who I have had the privilege of closely working with for several years.
I understand and appreciate that each client/investor I work for is unique, with his own risk tolerance, reward expectations, and desired level of trading involvement.
Whether you are a self-directed trader who wants a broker who understands exactly what you need to trade successfully or a new investor looking for guidance and an experienced helping hand, my primary goal is to help each of my clients match their assets with potentially rewarding opportunities that only these volatile futures markets can offer.
I also specialize in managing and executing automated trading systems and helping my clients’ diversify their investment portfolios through carefully researched and selected professionally Managed Futures/CTA programs.
“I have worked in the futures industry for over thirty years and without hesitation I would recommend Kurt Pfafflin as a broker, not only for my own family but also to friends simply because he is one of the best in the industry. Combined with the fact he works with an exceptional company that prides themselves in execution, this is what helps give traders an edge in the market. Knowledgeable and effective brokers that above all, have the utmost integrity and work hard for their client, which is what would best describe Daniels Trading.”

"There Platform DT-Pro is head and shoulders above the rest and you can not beat the price------Zero. And my Broker Kurt Pfafflin will spend as much time with me on a question as needed to help me and he has never not been there. In other words a free platform that would cost hundreds of dollars, and it used to, and customer service like the broker is sitting across from you. Wow, I am still impressed and I have been trading for 5 years."
