Breaking News – Trader Training & Portfolio Management
Posted by: | CommentsI’m extremely pleased to announce two major developments in (1) trader development and (2) investment management.
September Training Enhacement – I’ve very pleased to announce that noted trading psychologist and coach Robin Dayne has agreed to work with us during the upcoming September live Jellie training effort - at zero incremental cost to participants.
I’ve known Robin personally for years (she’s successfully coached me through various mental blocks at times), and she’s nationally known as one of the top trader coaches in the industry, having worked with hundreds of traders and hedge funds. She’s extremely well versed in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and has appeared on CNBC’s Power Lunch, ABC’s 20/20, TheStreet.com, BusinessWeek, and a host of other industry venues.
I can’t overstate my enthusiasm for this development, as well as the importance of this news for those participating in the effort, as I credit her with much of my success over the last decade.
In addition to participating in the training herself (she’s actually a coach who trades!), she’ll be an integral part of each morning’s preparatory session, as well as the weekly evening sessions. A reminder that all Jellie alumni are always invited to attend the Monday evening sessions.
Additionally, she’ll be developing special discounted programs for those who have participated in the prior live Jellie training, as well as those who have participated in the Jellie Webinars.
If you’re interested in joining the upcoming effort, please email me at don@donmillereducation.com as soon as possible. As was the case in prior sessions, space will be limited to ensure a quality experience for all.
Investment Management - I’m also very pleased to announce that plans are in the works for me to assume the role of Chief Investment Officer for a full service investment advisory firm over the coming months.
While I can’t disclose all of the details at this time, I can tell you it’s with a very reputable firm that emphasizes the use of technical analysis in analyzing risk and opportunity, uses Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) from both the long and short side, and whose audited returns have far exceeded that of the general market over the past few years.
The firm’s size allows it to provide highly personalized service (it’s not a corporate conglomerate) and is led by an honorable individual who I’ve known for years and would trust with my life (you think I have high standards … his will put me to shame). And I’ll be very close to the operations.
So for those who don’t have the time or desire to actively trade or manage their portfolios, this will be another option for investment planning and management.
I’ll provide more information on both fronts as they unfold, and as we continue our mission to further develop traders and/or ease the management burden.
Wednesday Notes – The Other Guy’s Hand
Posted by: | Comments
While I won’t cut and paste every Tank transcript (a bit of work!), in the spirit of “We Don’t Nail Every Sequence”, I thought today’s morning transcript shows a good overview of some early struggling with the market pace (pace always being more important to many of us than any technical pattern) before nailing the midday push.
And it only takes one!
The yellow highlighting also reinfoces the notion that trading - like Poker – is ALWAYS about the other guy’s hand … and not yours. Those that think about patterns and their own hand (the majority of traders) will continue to donate to the few who have figured that out.
