How to join a webinar

During this webinar you will learn about the history of floor trading and the migration from trading floors to today’s paradigm of computer assisted screen trading and autonomous algorithmic trading. Danny Riley, a 30 year veteran floor trader from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, will share how trading futures has changed over the last decade and how to transfer some of the floor trading strategies, such as the ten handle rule, to your daily trading.
Marlin Cobb, the MrTopStep CTO and 15 year veteran trader, will talk about the most important trading hour of the day, the closing of the NYSE, the largest stock exchange in the world. As much as 30% of the daily volume can exchange hands during the last 15 minutes of trade. Why does this happen? Are there trading opportunities there? Using the unique MrTopStep closing imbalance meter you can get early insight into how the close is shaping up more than an hour early. Marlin will talk about how the meter works, how the data is gathered and present how he trades the data.
Danny will return and talk about the rise of the machine - how algorithmic trading and high frequency bidding are changing the personality of the markets and how mere mortals can can combat these Goliath traders.
It will be a webinar packed with both useful context to help you better understand the markets and how our philosophy of team trading using our collective intelligence can make you a better trader.
