About Don

It's been almost twenty-five years since I first entered the financial services business as a broker. I still remember my first speculative trade; it was a futures spread trade involving Live Hogs (all of my friends in the business were farmers). Soon after entering the finance business, I moved away from the brokerage side to the analysis side where I really wanted to be. I must have been doing something right, because I was promoted to Director of Research at the nation's largest options-only research boutique. In 1993, I left that firm to start my own company to focus strictly on volatility.

During my first decade as a trader and analyst, I was introduced to a strategy that had an extremely high probability of profit. I wanted to understand the mathematical reason for the extraordinary success. It was then that a friend of mine uttered the words that changed my life and ushered in a period of groundbreaking research. My friend Pete said, "It has something to do with that bell curve thing." From that point forward, I have used my mathematical skills to discover unique and profitable trading systems. My research has produced some of the most important findings in the options market today and are a part of every product found on this web site.
