Risk Management and Trading Seminar Using Market Profile(TM) Hosted By Intelligence Press

Posted on: Friday, 14 December 2007, 15:00 CST

Join Steven B. Hawkins, professional trader and Co-Author of Steidlmayer on Markets; Trading with Market Profile™ and Tom Saal, futures broker and Managing Director of Commercial Brokerage Corp. to discuss the Market Profile™ trading methodology. This training seminar will be held February 4th and 5th, 2008 at the Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort in Miami. Registration is now open.

"Simple in concept, yet complex in detail, Market Profile™ organizes a number of market elements into a rapidly understood graphic form--revealing trading opportunities other technical systems miss," said Hawkins of this revolutionary trading methodology.

Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Saal, who typically offer courses such as these only to their clients on a privately-arranged basis, have partnered with Intelligence Press, Inc. (IPI) and GasMart to offer this unique hedging and trading opportunity, which is now open for general registration. This two-day course will give both those who trade stocks and commodities the foundation for understanding and implementing the Market Profile™ methodology for successful and effective trading of the markets. Space for this event is limited to 60 attendees.

While Market Profile™ may be used to trade any stock, option or futures market; this course will focus on its application to the energy markets, and more specifically natural gas futures. "Market Profile analysis provides the trader with valuable price information about the natural gas futures market that other technical systems miss. Understanding how to use this tool gives both the hedger and the speculator important insights into prices, as well as signals for when to initiate and exit trades," noted Saal.

"After several years of hosting successful Nymex Hedging Workshops in New York with Tom, we were delighted to work with him to offer a class that focuses specifically on Market Profile™," remarked Dexter Steis, Executive Publisher of IPI. "By adding Mr. Hawkins as an instructor, we have a dynamic combination of talent. Steve can explain the nuances of the Market Profile™ methodology and Tom can show how it is used to trade the energy markets."
