My primary mission is to help my clients achieve their investment and hedging goals. I believe that a disciplined and non-emotional approach to the market is of utmost importance. My military and martial arts background has helped me to stay calm and keep a clear head in the most volatile of markets. Once we come up with a strategy, I believe that we should stick to it. If the market moves against us and our "line in the sand" has been breached, we exit the trade, thus preserving capital. When the market moves in our direction, I believe in using a trailing stop to preserve our profit. I also use options as a hedge to help manage the risk on a futures position. I make it a top priority to alert my clients to important news that may affect their positions. I believe that I have much to offer both the seasoned investor and the neophyte alike.

 

Industry Background:

I have been in the industry for 13 years. I spent six years as an institutional Treasury Bond arb clerk at the CBOT and I spent three years as an institutional S&P arb clerk at CME. To gain exposure to other markets I volunteered to fill in at the arb desks in the grains, Dow, and meats. I managed daily institutional give-up business here at Lind-Waldock for two years. I currently hold a Series 3 license.

Market Focus:

Metals, Energies, Softs, Grains and Livestock.

"I was a long-term position trader for many years, and didn't need or want much help. I was inactive for several years when Tom contacted me and told me what he had to offer, so I decided to work with Tom. Very few issues have come up in the last couple of years, and anything that has, was dealt with quickly, fairly and professionally." -Kevin of Lebanon, PA

Analysis Preference:

Both technical and fundamental.

Technical Study Background:

Bar Charts, Moving Averages, RSI, Support and Resistance, Pivot Points, Momentum, Volume and Open Interest

Advisory Background:

I respect such advisors as Helms and Williams.

Trading Strategies:

I am well versed in both long and short option strategies. I pay close attention to the fundamentals when trading meats, grains, softs, and energies, then use support and resistance to time entry and exit points. I put heavy emphasis on risk management and always have an exit strategy for any trade I recommend.
