- Business Plan to Ensure Consistency & Scale Your Business
- Environment
- Disaster Recovery Procedures
Traders spend too much of their time on the one thing that doesn't really matter. The market.
And very little to NO time on the things that actually make a difference. Everyone worries about order flow and stochastics and machine learning and ichimokiCloudBurstHangingBaby candlesticks. Blah, blah, blah. All nonsense.
Yet no one looks at, "Is my prop firm/broker ripping me off?", "Am I trading a product that I can actually have success in?" or "Where are the weak spots in my game and how do I fix them".
Trading is a business. It is normal, everyday decision making at 1000x speed. But the same principles apply.
Darren has had over 10 years experience in trading, both in hedge funds and on proprietary trading desks. He started his career at a hedge fund in New York, progressed to an institutional broking role servicing mainly hedge funds and bank prop desks. He then moved into the proprietary trading realm both as a trader and in trader development. Along the way he was also Head of Trading for a 300M Long/Short Asia-Pac hedge fund. He now runs Cygnet Trading, which he co-founded. Having seen all sides of the business, and lived through many changes in the market, he is uniquely positioned to help traders with what works, what doesn't and how they can best progress towards their trading goals.
