Brian Cullen is a Senior Futures and Options Broker and Market Strategist with Daniels Trading. He is the publisher of The Cullen Outlook newsletter and the author of How To Guide: 10 Rules for Technical Futures Trading and How To Guide: 12+ Candlestick Formations Every Technical Trader Should Know, guides for traders looking to learn or improve their technical trading skills.
Brian’s career began working with equities and equity options at Charles Schwab. Since then he has held various positions within the financial industry, from head clerk on a high volume trading desk on the floor of the CBOE, to being a “market maker” for a proprietary trading firm in the SPX and OEX pits. Brian then branched off to expand his horizons and transitioned into the futures market as a retail broker. He was a Market Strategist for Lind-Waldock’s Private Client Group division, dealing exclusively in the commodity markets.
Brian joined Daniels Trading in early 2009 to expand his added value services as a broker, and to build his client base in new areas. With Daniels Trading’s diversified execution categories, the opportunities for Brian’s clients are endless.
In Brian’s own words:
“I look at the markets and analyze charts all day long. For more than 10 years, I’ve been helping clients learn how to trade the futures markets using technical analysis. To help as many as possible, I’ve distilled my approach into a program I call The Cullen Outlook. Through publications, webinars and more, I present ideas, tools and strategies and most important, a trading style.
You may not scan each market sector every day looking for technical set-ups and chart formations. But I do. And I can alert you to markets and levels where I believe trades exist. I can point you to formations and set-ups that I believe deserve a closer look. I can help you see what others may miss.
The Cullen Outlook has something for broker-assisted and self-directed traders alike.
There are five components:
My goal with all five components of The Cullen Outlook is simple: To arm you with the knowledge to see what the chart is telling you. And to help you acquire the confidence to trust and understand what you see, so you’re ready to take action.
So what are you looking for? If you like the idea of acquiring a trading style that sees what others miss, give me a call or email me.”
