UpsideTrader
by Joe Donohue
Bio: Joe was a retail broker for 13 years at Kidder Peabody, Smith Barney, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. In the late nineties he started a successful capital markets division for a boutique investment bank that resulted in over $500 million in investment transactions. In 2000 he started a hedge fund from the ground up with three partners and grew it to $500 million before selling his partnership in 2005. Since that time he has been trading for himself in his own account.
In the current environment, Joe primarily day trades and is flat by the end of the day. He doesn’t trust the overnight volatility in this very delicate market. He relies 70% on technical study, but psychology, momentum and sentiment are also critical parts of his analysis.
Outside of trading Joe is an avid sports fan and enjoys cooking, fishing, reading, politics and economics as well as hanging out with his wife and two best friends, his kids.

For anyone who is serious about learning to trade, I couldn’t make a higher recommendation and for anyone who already knows how to trade, just an extra expert pair of eyes makes it well worth the price. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!" -Johnny
