Floyd became interested in the futures market in the early
1990’s after investing in stocks and stock options. While
working in the high tech world of semiconductors, Floyd
spent his spare time and money researching the investment
world. He held a number of engineering positions in the
semiconductor industry for ten years upon graduating from
college in Ohio. Floyd spent three years with Intel
Corporation in New Mexico in the eighties, and then the
next seven years doing R&D for Motorola in Irvine California.
Floyd studied mathematics, statistics and computer programming
in college. He has a great deal of experience in solving
problems by analyzing data and presenting different solutions
or outcomes based on statistical probabilities. Floyd has put
these skills to good use. He found out early in his trading
career that the commercially available charting software and
price tracking systems were not versatile nor complex enough
to get at the data at the level he felt necessary to gain an
edge in the market place. Floyd used his statistical knowledge
and programming abilities to develop and create his own
charting software and proprietary indicators. His unique
approach of combining technical price data with fundamental
data yielded his IMPA.
Using his knowledge in statistics and engineering background
combined with his programming skills, he designed his own
trading system based on repeating patterns and conditions
characteristic to individual commodities. What Floyd found
from computer back testing was amazing. Floyd believes data
shows an underlying order in the commodity markets not found
in the historic price movements of individual stocks! In his
research he discovered specific patterns in commodity prices
unique to each market. He found that these patterns are highly
correlated to the positions held by the participants in the
commodity markets. Using fundamental information supplied by
the U.S. government (Commitment of Traders Data), he has been
able to separate the open interest for each commodity into
three distinct groups. While everyone else has been looking
at prices or price structures for core indicators, Floyd
developed his proprietary trading & tracking system using
the data from the three unique groups of traders tracked
by the U.S. government (Commercials, Funds, and Small Speculators).
Today, as a registered Commodity Trading Advisor, Floyd provides
regular updates in the futures markets to trading professionals
around the globe, who are using his proprietary trading systems
and unique information. Each markets is always evaluated the
night before in order for professionals to devise a strategy
for the following day. Floyd communicates with his students and
clients throughout the entire world via his daily reports and
via personal email contact. He works very closely with his
students and clients. Floyd’s analysis of the markets can be
beneficial to all traders, beginner and professional alike.
His recommendations and forecasts are instructional so traders can
learn the "how and why" to make their own trading decisions based
on his approach, data, and unique indicators.

NO
TRADING SYSTEM CAN GUARANTEE PROFITS
No guarantees can be made for success. Past performance is not a
guarantee of future profits.
Futures trading is NOT our only means of income. We also invest
in stocks, real estate as well as
generate income from other businesses. We have both winning trades
and losing trades. We trade professionally, but not daily. We wait
for what we believe to be ideal trading opportunities.
