Coach Christian Tharp
Having been Adam’s first full time coach, I have been fortunate enough to have been a large part of building Adam’s coaching program. Having worked with more than 1200 students over the years, combined with over a decade of stock/options trading experience and the CMT education, has allowed me the ability and knowledge to assist would be traders of all backgrounds. Although being a CMT does require a vast understanding of technical analysis, I tend to subscribe to Adam’s “K.I.S.S.” approach. After all, since studies show that 90% of making money in the market requires overcoming emotion and harmful psychology, just remember this: The market doesn’t care what you think, and it certainly doesn’t care how you feel. So, trade what you see, not what you think!
Coach Todd “Bubba” Horwitz
I have over thirty years of trading experience and I can trace my career to a beginning on the floor of the CBOT as one of the founding members of the OEX Pit. I am still an active member of the CBOT. Over the years I have served in many capacities in the Securities industry. I joined Adam Mesh over three years ago and I currently hold the title of Chief Market Strategist. I have taught untold scores of clients how to improve their trading. Teaching gives me a great deal of personal satisfaction; I truly enjoy helping my students to prosper. I believe that all liquid markets exhibit Universal price patterns. It is impossible to tell what asset you are looking at if you remove the time and price axis. I believe that chart patterns give us all the information we need to react to market conditions. Trading gives me the freedom to participate in family activities that many professions do not. I believe that my signature phrase of “Keep those stops tight,” will keep most clients out of trouble. Between the success I have experienced and the knowledge I share, I feel extremely fortunate to be associated with Adam Mesh Trading.
Coach Mike Hammer
Hi, I’m Mike Hammer. I started trading in 1986. Like many others I lost a chunk in the Crash of ‘87. My trading has been up and down over the years. I joined the Adam Mesh Stock Trading Program in 2008. Coach Matt taught me well and my trading is far beyond anything I could have accomplished by myself. I’ve been a coach since 2009 and I write a weekly article-lesson for the Trading Talk forum. My philosophy is to always be in control – plan your trade, then trade your plan. As any of my students would tell you, “it’s all about the levels!”
Coach Gary Fierro
Hi everyone! I’m Coach Gary out of the Jacksonville, Florida area; that explains the picture! I’ve been trading full time since 2006 after leaving an IBM Solutions Partner specializing in sports technologies. I’ve followed the markets since high school and took that passion to college garnering a Major in Finance, a Minor in Economics. Because Dad was a USAF Fighter Pilot and the work with my last “real” employer, I’ve traveled much and now enjoy the slower life in North Florida. From UPS Truck Driver to Full Service Stock Broker, I’ve also finally settled into the position I’ve worked toward my entire life – trading full time! That said, I can tell you and the best decision I made regarding efficient trading was aligning myself with Adam and Todd “Bubba” Horwitz (More on that during our sessions together!). I mainly trade options and enjoy combining Adam’s, Todd’s and my experience in my coaching style. I’ll see you on WebEx and remember, “Never, NEVER force a trade!”
Coach Ryan Seifert
I have seven years of trading experience, I have been involved in the trading business ever since I graduated college in 2004, I hold a degree in Finance as well. I joined Adam Mesh two years ago and I teach students how to trade both stocks and options. I enjoy teaching students with all levels of experience how to become better traders and develop a skill they can use for the rest of their lives. I believe that understanding price patterns and market liquidity are the two keys to becoming a successful trader. Trading gives me the freedom that many professions do not. I am grateful to be associated with Adam Mesh trading and all the opportunities that come with that.
Coach Michael H. Honig
I have been trading stocks and options for most of my adult life. My interest in mentoring and coaching is a result of wanting to share all that I have learned through my years of experiences and the excellent training I received. My passion is to help others find their own trading style, make money and always understand how to guard their precious capital. I have helped many students understand and apply the concepts of support and resistance, find good working levels on the charts and enter trades with good risk/reward potential, proper sizing and money management principles. Helping students already in the market, analyze what they own with their new understanding of what technical analysis reveals is especially rewarding to me as a mentor. If you are a total beginner you will find that I build your understanding, leaving no question unanswered, and that patience is my long suit.
Coach Jerry Diegel
I began trading options at a business in Chicago in 1983, and have not stopped trading since. That first job sparked a fire in me and I learned that there is nothing else I would like to do with my life. I then traded in the OEX and SPX pits at the CBOE and the S&P 500 future options pit at the the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). For the past two years I have been trading out of my home in a Chicago Suburb where I live with my wife and 3 sons. I teamed up with Adam Mesh Trading two years ago, and could not be happier. My favorite trading saying is “You can never go broke locking in profits.”
Coach Darryl Martin
Coach Darryl joined our group back when we were first getting started, and Adam took him under his wing. He worked one-on-one with Adam and was able to perfect his trading by having a plan. Darryl lives in Texas and enjoys working at his body shop in his spare time, that is if he can find any. Of course his heart is with the market, and he loves nothing more then coaching students in the time he has.
“Thanks Darryl,
I think you have built a great organization and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of it. I have one more session with Darryl. He has done a great job for me. I had never made a trade before and now I am half way to paying off your course. It has given me the the confidence to do something I would probably have never done without you. I really like what you have done with a thousand people all trained the same way watching the market and sharing what they see with each other. I hope I can continue to be a part of it.
Thanks”
Doug
Coach Dan Thompson
When we asked Coach Dan for a picture and a bio he said: “I am trading, no time.” Coach Dan spends all of his time coaching or trading leaving him no time to write a bio!
