Topic:	Trading with Volume Analysis:                                                                                       Identify, Follow and Profit from Trends
The “decimalization” of financial markets, has killed market visibility and, some believe, encouraged price manipulation. The only way investors and traders can now avoid becoming victims of insiders and manipulators is to use techniques that detect their moves. In Value in Time, Paul Duncan will demonstrate Pascal Willain’s breakthrough new technical analysis tools that show you how to see through market manipulations and become a better, smarter trader. This unique methodology contains insights that will take your trading to the next level. Paul in lay terms, will  present the accumulation/distribution oscillator corrected for normally distributed volume over different prices. This method was first introduced to the markets in "Effective Volume" theory in "Entries & Exits" by A. Elder Paul’s presentation will be multi-faceted.  He will also include an  overview of his GGT trading system a foundation to the concepts of self-timing and will form the basis of the remaining discussion.  Macro timers developed on the equities in the GGT universe will be presented, along with metrics for evaluation.  Based on these macro timers, individual equities will be discussed, and timing entry based upon Pascal Willain’s Effective Volume methods will be presented/discussed.”   “Paul Duncan is an engineer/scientist, who also does  smart grid consulting services to the electric utility industry. His primary focus is as a smart grid architect with specific attention on value creation/capture within residential and commercial/industrial markets.  When not performing the role of a consultant, Paul focuses on the development and quantification of algorithms for market timing.  The most notable of these systems is the “Greek God Trading”, or GGT, which he created in 2008 and has been the foundation of his analysis for the past several years.  Duncan is the father of two wonderful boys, ages 11 and 13, is an avid endurance cyclist and triathlete, and is married to his bride of 19 years.”

John Carter's father was a Morgan Stanley stock broker.  One day during high school, John came home from the mall where he was working at a store making cookies.  He had saved up $1000 over the course of a few months, and his dad told him that he and some of his friends were going to buy "some call options on Intel" the next day.  Although he had no idea what they were talking about, it sounded good.  He bought 10 call options at 75 cents, and sold them a few days later for $1.50, doubling his money.  He was hooked and has been trading ever since-- going on 20 years now. After high school, John Carter studied at the University of Cambridge, England, then graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with degrees in History and Economics. John Carter was never that intrigued by the brokerage side of the trading world. Instead, he liked to try and test various online trading strategies through college and well into his corporate jobs. He became quite adept at making money, though there were times when holding onto it turned out to be a problem.  The road was not always easy and John learned his lessons the hard way like many day traders out there.  If you've seen him speak at the Money Show or Traders Expos, then you've probably heard the story about "the house in Minnesota" which still makes him squirm just to talk about it and relive it to this day.  After that experience, he came across Mark Douglas's book, "The Disciplined Trader" and that helped to push him on the road to consistency. John Carter eventually found a trading system he was satisfied with. He left corporate America to pursue full-time professional trading in 1998.  After a few years of trading on his own, he eventually grew tired of day trading by himself in his office and chatting with his Arrowana (a large fish).  He started to seek out other traders and post information online, which led to the launch of TradeTheMarkets.com. John Carter today is a Commodity Trading Advisor with Razor Trading. Recently, McGraw Hill commissioned him to write a book entitled Mastering the Trade. Mastering the Trade by John F. Carter was released in January, 2006. Carter's trading book soon climbed the charts at Amazon.com. Carter was also featured on ABC Money with his new online trading book "Mastering The Trade."

Rande Howell (MEd, LPC) helps traders develop a peak performance state of mind.  He is both a licensed therapist and performance coach whose work is grounded in emotional regulation, mindfulness, and Jungian archetypes applied to trading.  He has a clinical background in training people to master their emotions and to transform self-limiting beliefs into productive mindsets.   Rande's work centers on how to break the fear-based beliefs that imprison a trader’s performance and that block the development of a trader’s potential to achieve financial and personal dreams.  By learning how to manage the biology of emotion, real and long lasting changes can then be made to the mind’s core beliefs from which the trader engages the uncertainty, risk, and probability that must be mastered in trading.  He is the author of four books including: Mindful Trading: Mastering Your Emotions and the Inner Game of Trading.
