Last night I watched a stock seminar on another network that provides food for thought and some actionable ideas. Five stocks were highlighted. I went into 59 minute trade mode. I got in around 52 on a green candle and a rise over the VWAP, and am still riding this sucker now at 67 and change. That seminar, and all the years since then as a member, have really meant so much.
Thank you! (Stock was PSIX by the way.)"

I've been a member here for a LONG time. Long, as in I was at your seminar in Chicago and was a member before that long. I won't drag this out, but I'm still here because of your insight, attitude, comedic/political outbursts, delivery, and teaching capability. Love it all. Love your libertarian-esque rants, your Bollinger-band based patterns, etc etc etc. I've purchased 59 minute trade (twice, I think I found my old hard copy one from years ago), MTM, and your old options course that came on CD/DVD. I've learned a LOT over the years, and still have a lot to learn, but I enjoy the content. I like the new trading sessions, it's something different, but I think my favorites are still the end of day wrapups. I've used them for years to get a handle on what happened, opportunities for the next day, etc. Scott and the Options crew are great, but at the end of the day for me personally it's "all things Dan" that keeps me subscribed.

I truly enjoyed the 59 minute training and this week and I have earned more money than the course cost. I will watch the video again this weekend. I now have the knowledge to truly grow my TRADING ACCOUNT. Dan, one of the best decisions I have made was to join SMM and take your training! Thank you for all you do for the SMM Family to be successful. You said that teaching is your passion and it showed in your preparation for this class.

59 Minutes That Change Everything
8 intensive modules, 7 hours, and the strategies to dominate the market from the first tick.
Module 1: The 59 Minute Mindset
From Prey to Predator
Before you ever touch a chart, you’ve got to fix the six inches between your ears.
This first module rips out the amateur thinking that keeps 90 percent of traders broke. You’ll see why “I want” is the language of losers and “I see” is the mindset of predators.
You’ll build the habits, the patience, and the rule-based discipline that separates the pros from the hopefuls. By the end, you’ll think like a trader who expects to win.
Module 2: True Market Dynamics
Understanding the Game
This is where the fog lifts. You’ll finally understand how the market really moves-and why crowds always lose.
We dig into the “Hour of Power,” that first explosive 60 minutes where money is made or lost. You’ll learn how volume, volatility, and raw human emotion drive price.
Once you see how the herd reacts, you’ll know exactly how to position yourself to take their money.
Module 3: Key Indicators
Measure and Act
Real pros don’t guess-they measure.
This module shows you the five instruments the pros rely on to see what others can’t: volatility squeezes, pivots, VWAP, anchored VWAP, and the price levels that institutions defend.
You’ll learn to read a chart like a radar screen and know, in seconds, when it’s time to move and when it’s time to sit tight.
Module 4: Opening Range Breakouts
Own the First 15 Minutes
This is the playbook for those first 15 to 30 minutes that can set up your entire day.
You’ll learn how to mark your opening range, wait for the breakout, and attack it with precision. No more guessing, no more hoping - just clear, rules-based setups that tell you when to strike and when to stand down.
Module 6: Right Research
Find the Setups That Print
Here’s where your edge multiplies. You’ll learn exactly where to find high-probability setups before the crowd even knows they exist.
You’ll track catalysts, sympathy plays, and short interest the way a hunter tracks footprints. The result? Fewer trades, higher accuracy, bigger wins.
Module 7: Taking the Trade
It's Action Time
This is where it all comes together. You’ll learn to size positions like a professional, protect every dollar of capital, and trade with confidence instead of emotion.
You’ll see how to use tight stops, trade in thirds, and stack R-multiples in your favor. One process, one plan, one purpose.
Module 8: The Final Wrap Up
Think. Act. Trade Like Pro.
When the dust settles, trading is about mastery - of yourself and your craft.
This closing module locks in your discipline, clarifies your “why,” and turns this course into a repeatable, lifelong system.
You’ll walk away thinking and trading like a professional.
Module 9: Examples, Questions & Bonus
Master the Market
In this final module, Dan sits down and answers real trader questions - the kind every serious student eventually faces.
You’ll hear the stories, the examples, and the hard-won lessons that only come from decades in the trenches. This is not theory - it’s the application of mastery.
Who This Is For:
- Daily traders who want more consistency and less chaos
- Part-time traders who can only trade the morning session
- Experienced investors who want to sharpen their timing
- Beginners who want a clear, structured process to follow

Think about it…
You’re getting a full trading system that shows you how to make money before most traders finish their first cup of coffee, for less than the cost of one stupid, impulsive trade.
Level Up.
If you’re serious about leveling up, you already know what I’m about to say.
The market doesn’t wait. Neither should you.
Every day, the first hour of the market decides who wins and who loses.
This course shows you how to be on the right side of that equation - how to recognize the setups, manage your risk, and act with precision while everyone else hesitates.
You can either:
🚶 Keep grinding through the same chaos, hoping it finally clicks.
🔥 Or take this moment, make the decision, and learn the system that puts you in control from the opening bell.
If you want to trade like a pro and own the open, here’s your chance.

Thanks so much for teaching the SMART. The time spent attending the workshop is absolutely time well spent!
I've been a member of SMM for a very long time. I very much connect with your teaching style. I feel that if one applies the concepts taught in the SMART workshop you can't but help improve your trading results. Besides helping me make money, the main reason I remain a member of SMM is the clarity which Dan explains trading and psychological concepts. Thanks again for all you do.

Yes, I found the course extremely helpful. It was helpful to see charts of good setups to try to start ingraining them into my brain. I’m planning on using this course as a resource in the future.

The SMART workshop enhanced my professional trading tactics, reinforced my skills for interpreting trade setups for maximum return and lowest risk. Dan taught us how to plan and analyze our trade risk assessment “R’s” with continual feedback using tracked trades statistics. One of many “pearls” of Dan’s wisdom. He is a gifted teacher and technical analyst.
