Dick Diamond has been trading for a living for over 35 years. He has expertise in trading OEX options, S&P/Nasdaq futures and Dow/Amex/Nasdaq equities.
He holds an MBA from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from The Wharton School of Business (University of Pennsylvania). He was attracted to Wall Street because his father was a member of the New York Stock Exchange. After active duty in the Marine Corps, he worked as a floor broker on the American Stock Exchange (1960-1965). He left the floor in 1965 and has been trading his own account since then.
Dick's enthusiasm for trading is perhaps matched only by his passion and desire to teach and mentor students. In fact, he has taught over 300 students his trading discipline. His earliest fan was Bob Prechter, president of Elliott Wave International and author of multiple books on the Wave Principle.
Dick has had the pleasure of working with students from as far away as Alaska, Abu Dhabi, Germany, Belgium and India. He currently resides in Vero Beach Florida, where he continues to trade for a living and looks forward to teaching this trading course every year.
