THIS WEEK’S ECONOMIC AND EARNINGS EVENTS

One-on-One Mentoring Opportunity with Toni Hansen Dear Trader, Since my book Simple Steps to Trading Discipline was released, I’ve had a number of requests for personal mentoring and coaching. Over the past year, however, I’ve worked exclusively with existing traders and fund managers and have not accepted new clients as I cut back my hours in preparation of the arrival of our little trader-to-be and a move back to the Mid-West. Well, we have arrived. I’m still keep my hours outside my trading hours limited, but I will be accepting three new clients this fall. Each program lasts a minimum of six weeks and I work one-on-one with my clients to develop a system of market analysis geared toward each trader’s individual personality, strengths, and weaknesses. If you are interested in learning more, contact me directly at toni@tradingfrommainstreet.com. All my best, Toni Hansen
