"I'm always on the lookout for "paralysis by analysis". Often less is more when it comes to learning how to trade. It's important to start simply. Like any long term goal, it's best to break it down into manageable pieces. That's how you make progress and avoid feeling overwhelmed."

“I absolutely believe that price movement patterns are being repeated. They are recurring patterns that appear over and over, with slight variations. This is because markets are driven by humans -- and human nature never changes.”

As a commodity futures broker, I strive every day to provide my clients with the 3 core traits below. These key service features define my brokerage services, and are at the heart of all my client relationships.
Experience
I have been a futures broker for 23 years. Like many others in this business, I started working on the trading floor as a runner. I was eventually promoted to an office position where I worked directly with a 35-year trading veteran and former chairman of the Chicago Board of Trade. This in-depth training was the foundation of my futures industry education. Over the years, my development as a broker and trader has continued to evolve, always building on new lessons and experiences.
Professionalism
As a graduate of the University of Chicago, a triathlete and marathon runner, I understand the dedication and discipline it takes to be successful. My commitment to professionalism is reflected in every interaction with my clients.
Insight
Over the years, I have spent countless hours researching and studying the markets. Along with premium trade execution, I use my extensive knowledge of technical analysis to assist my clients in developing their own trading strategies. I also publish two daily trading newsletters, Swing Traders Insight and "Trade!" or "Fade!". Lastly, I write articles on trading that I think would be of value to my clients and to the trading public in general. A list of my educational writing can be found here.
I encourage you to explore this website and discover more about my brokerage services and trading products. If experience, professionalism and insight are three qualities that you are looking for ina broker, then I am confident that you will be well served as my client.
