Mind Over Markets Continued: A Deep Dive Into the Integration of Market Profile with Momentum Trading

Live Intensive: October 1-31, 2019

With 40 years of trading experience, Jim Dalton brings a unique and proven perspective to this immersive course. The intensive series is designed to help you improve your market understanding by learning to think in terms of odds, and by honing your ability to interpret the real forces that drive markets; to trade successfully, you must understand your competition!

This dynamic extension series focuses on the market’s developing structure, where opportunities appear in the constant flow of the two-way auction process. You’ll learn to intuitively sense the way different timeframe participants reveal their motives, and how to position yourself to take advantage of their weaknesses. We’ll discuss routines to help you center yourself, so you can avoid the perils of trading in a highly emotional state.​

The combination of self-understanding and market insight provides the foundation for success. 

The traders who have experienced our course embrace learning as a continual dynamic process—just like the markets we seek to master. We’re here to provide you with tools that will enable you to take advantage of opportunity when it arises.

I am SO glad I purchased the Foundation course. I have completed the first 13 modules and am about to start “Tell me a Story”.
I took my first intensive in November. I learned so much but had to go through my notes a few times to categorize them. My notes were as scatter brained as I was. I feel the linear teaching method in the Foundation course is what I needed. It allowed me to focus on specific types of days and what might happen. There was also more time given to key concepts that fly by way too fast in the intensives. I’ll give more feedback when I’m done, but I’m far enough along to know I love it and am very happy I made the time and financial investment in the Foundation course.

I’m sure everyone has a proper sequence to learning these. Some might want to start out first with the Foundation course and some may want to try the mini intensive first. I feel like I had the right sequence – First, the 7 kickstart videos. Second, a full intensive. Third, the Foundation. I don’t think I would have gotten as much out of the foundation had I not had some experience under my belt prior to taking it. I feel everyone will need both – full immersion (Intensive) and Linear (Foundation Course).

Hi Jim, Jen, and RJ,

This was my fourth (double) intensive and I hope to sign up for a fifth! When I started with Jim Dalton I had very little experience with trading futures and almost no knowledge of the Profile aside from knowing that it existed. It took me some time to become familiar with the profile and even longer to stop looking at my old technical indicators. A lot of that had to do with my comfort zone using just the profile to assess the market.

This last intensive has been the best for me. I see definite improvement in my trading and I am just now beginning to see when to be in the market and when not to trade. I now feel comfortable using just the profile combined with the longer term bar charts as taught by Jim Dalton to assess the market.

At least once a day I would discover a previously not understood nuance as Jim narrated the market. His "Review and Replay" segment has been superb as he points out all sorts of relevant references and their significance to trading. It has been so helpful to listen to Jim's review of the market after trying to trade it. This allowed me to see where I had been correct in my assessment and where I had allowed my bias or current trade to cloud my assessment.

I continue to review prior webinars and find little nuggets of information I had missed even though I had attended the webinars. All in all this is a great course if you are willing to put in the time to learn.

I am a newer trader.
Until I found Jim Dalton, all of the educational materials I could find were heavily mathematical. Jim would call them price-based. Practitioners would call them technical analysis.
While I wasn’t exactly dissatisfied (I’m not a person who hates technical analysis), I did have the sense that something was missing from what I was learning. It seemed to me that the people writing the books I was reading were relating to the market as if it was a purely numerical construct, and that all that was needed to trade effectively was the perfect indicator, the perfect equation. What drew me instantly to Jim was that he viewed the market as a human construct, which can be understood in human terms. He was the first person I ever heard say, “just feel the emotion in the market.” Rather than obsessing over indicators, Jim uses price, time, and volume to understand who is in the market. By understanding who is in the market, he can understand what his competitors are doing and what he wants to do. I cannot overstate how transformative finding Jim has been for me. I could write many pages about all the nuances I have absorbed. Instead I’ll share what I think is the most important thing Jim has done for me. The bar charts, the market profiles, the references, and the tape are no longer just prices for me. I am beginning to feel the market for myself, and to intuit the other timeframes’ presence and intentions. Before this started to happen for me, I’d stare at the indicators and references very hard, and try to “think” of the correct trade. My focus was very narrow. But now, with what Jim has shown me, I am learning how to open myself to the market, quiet my “thinking” mind, and allow the trade to come to me. Jim Dalton and his team are invaluable.

Contained within "Introduction to Trading with the Market Profile" (Foundation & Application of the Market Profile) Jim Dalton and team have finally delivered a foundational education package that will benefit all skill levels of traders who use Time Price Opportunity charts as part of their ongoing market understanding and market analysis. The numerous insights gleaned and shared from Jim's decades of real market experience are nothing short of powerful if the new trader is willing to sustain an open mind, willing to let things that never really worked go, and willing to challenge both their preconceived notions about financial markets and perhaps the reason why most competitors never really get to compete. This is the practical primer I wish was available years ago and will continue to be pivotal for anyone seeking to start advancing their knowledge in trading markets. In my eyes, to be truly successful in adapting to how Jim thinks about markets and how he trades them, it's not a question of taking either the "Introduction" or the "Intensive" program for most traders: You need both.

While surveying the educator industry out there, just about everything I've ever encountered on Market Profile attempts to mechanically make the distribution curve another part of some unthinking rules-based system, which is not how auction markets with irrational human actors work. How Jim employs the Market Profile as simply a tool, another way of organizing the market's mind and data, is radically different. This is why it was so important for you to get this done.

A.B. from WI

Just want to say thanks. "Chunking" does work. It's taken me a while but my reading of the market profile has improved so much. These last 2 days of trading have tested my readiness and knowledge and I am happy to say I passed the test. I once was blind, but now I "see". I'm not where I want to be, but my confidence is up and I feel I'm on my way. Jen, I've missed your voice and laughter (no one does it like you). Regards to Mr. Dalton with my gratitude.

The intensive is the best way for a trader to get started by building a foundation for market understanding. This is an absolute necessity for any aspiring traders. The cost is about as much as a bad loss on a trading day. Don’t lose your money, invest it in your future! You will be in great hands.

I just wanted to give some feedback about the mini intensive. I know it’s a few months since the mini however as I was unable to attend the live sessions and I have just finished the recordings today. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed learning from you both and I felt you both did a great job fielding questions from the participants.

I.J. from United Kingdom

I’ve just finished the Spring 2019 intensive, I think my 12th, and I can certify that it never gets old! Jim’s stories included 😊 One of Jim’s former partners used to say “you can’t hear this stuff enough” He was spot on. The value for me, is picking up on a novel nuance or clarifying a familiar, but important concept. Just one makes the time and investment worthwhile. This time it was emphasizing the importance of observing the market. Vital and unappreciated. And the idea of letting the trade come to you. A nebulous idea for sure, but the more you learn about how the auction process works and experience it for yourself, the more meaningful that statement becomes. I’ve always enjoyed the programs and more importantly the journey that I’ve been on these last 11 years. The intensives are highly recommended.
