Jim Dalton Trading

Welcome to Jim Dalton Trading. Jim has made trading and studying the markets his life’s work for over 50 years. He is the author of two seminal books on Market Profile Trading, Mind over Markets: Power Trading with Market Generated Information Updated Edition (2013) and Markets in Profile: Profiting from the Auction Process (2007).

Jim has been a member of the Chicago Board of Trade as well as a member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and Senior Executive Vice President of the CBOE during its formative years. He is a discretionary trader and long-time proponent of employing the Market Profile® to facilitate trading.

He has been a sought-after speaker and educator throughout his career. In 2010, he decided to formally channel his insights into creating a curriculum for Market Profile Trading. That curriculum became his signature, sought-after intensive programs, which are designed to reach traders at all levels of mastery and help them take control of their own trading success.
