About
My name is Darren Miller and I have a background in psychology/counseling, a passion for trading and have overcome my own roadblocks to become a successful option trader. 
Back in 2002 I was fresh out of graduate school and was sought out to provide a workshop on the psychology of trading for a large financial education company. I took the opportunity to teach on a subject that I felt I had a lot to offer and ended up learning a great deal about the markets. Ever since then I’ve been hooked and over the years I’ve helped fellow traders overcome their weaknesses and learn to exploit their strengths to succeed in the market. The result is a system that allows you to create your own Market Awareness Profile (MAP) to successfully navigate the markets.
I studied psychology and counseling at Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas where I earned my Bachelors and Masters Degrees. I furthered my studies by attending Kent State University in Kent, Ohio where I received my Ph.D. While in graduate school I found myself focused on the psychology of use. In other words, I would help others by focusing on what they were doing with what they had. For example, as a market participant ask yourself these questions:
- Where are you now? (Trading but losing money, making some progress but not enough to make a living, pick the wrong side of the trade nearly every time, etc.).
- Where is it you want to be? (I want to be independently wealthy; I want to make $1,000.00 a day, I would like to know which market to trade, etc.).
- What are you doing to get there? (Trading a certain strategy, focusing on a certain sector, reading/researching, etc.).
By giving yourself a MAP you can mark your progression from wherever you are now to wherever it is you want to be. Each of us is unique in what we see as being “successful” or “a good trader”. What is successful to me might not be to you and vice-versa. Define what it is you want to achieve and then either use what you have to achieve it or find someone/something that can help you accomplish your goals. Find yourself, then trade.
Over the years I have taught hundreds of traders how they can be the best market participant and achieve the goals they have for themselves. I appreciate you stopping by and wish you the best in whatever it is you do and look forward to working with you. If I can answer any questions you have please feel free to contact me.
