A great new idea to help traders: Founder Coffee with a Quant January 2015 – Present (4 months)Greater Chicago Area Coffee with a Quant, is a new way of evolving trader development. After receiving positive feedback from multiple traders I helped in developing their Strategy, I would like to offer this as a service to the Chicago trading community. You must have a trading Strategy you already have made money with and just want to further evolve it. We will discuss your entry / exit points, money management, as to trade size relative to account size, Stop Loss, as to current volatility. Possible entry improvements using other Indicators and Oscillators, as well as reducing less effective ones employed. Review market microstructure, as to times of the day your asset class has the best probability of expected behavior. Many ways to increase your edge in the markets you trade. Be open to your Strategy working better on larger time frames, using more robust signals, wider Stops (outside volatility) and on other instruments. In person, Chicago Loop only. 1 hour session $250 (coffee included)
I can't be bothered looking for my PW and signing in to LinkedIn to see who this person is. $250 coffee is a bit expensive for me, so I take it by the usual standards you demand of others, this person is; 1) publicly known 2) has a public/verifiable record of trading success 3) does not require that you be a savant in order to profit from his advice. Off hand, I can tell you based on personal experience and my evolution that you are better off trading larger time frames (if you have the capital to profit from this), using volatility stops is better than money stops, and trading multiple instruments gives you the best choice of trades compared to focusing on just 1 or a few instruments. I can also tell everyone this for free, but nobody would give a toss because of 1 and 2 above, so I guess this is what it boils down to.
