Don Miller’s Trading Success Story

In July 2008 a trader called Don Miller started a new blog.
​
He wanted to document his trading journey with the trading world. (This was before everyone started doing it…)
​
Don was a very active S&P trader, you’d probably call him a scalper.
​
He leased a seat on the CME, traded a lot of contracts each day, and didn’t like using stops.

Over that year he made $1.6m day trading the S&P 500 and documented the whole process. (Blog link here)
​
One of the cool things he did along the way was record some of his trading sessions and package them up in a video series he called “Trading after Dark” (a nod to his love of poker.)
​
​He showed traders how he scalps the ES, how he “manages risk with size”, and how he incrementally adds to positions as they move in his favour.
​
In this video clip, Don talks about why he adds to trades and his thinking behind that method.
