Industry Background:

I am a registered Series 3 Associated Person and have worked with Lind-Waldock for my entire career in the futures industry.

Market Focus:

Currencies (Eurocurrency, Dollar Index), Grains (Soybeans, Wheat), Energies (Crude Oil), Metals (Gold and Silver), 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, Bollinger Bands, Relative Strength Index, Moving Averages, Volume and 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:

Larry Williams, Ken Roberts, "The Hightower Report" and Man Global Research (request a password by email).

Trading Strategies:

I take a systematic approach to the markets. I wait for the markets to meet my prespecified parameters prior to initiating a position. I promote clearly defining profit objective levels and risk tolerance levels before participating in any market. Furthermore I encourage developing trading strategies that utilize both futures and option contracts. I believe using both futures and options conjunctively allows for greater flexibility in the markets.

Analysis Preference:

I focus my attention primarily on the technical aspects of the market. Once a market has validated a prespecified technical level, I will look for fundamental information to confirm the technical indications.
