Dan Sheridan Mentoring Program "Personal Options Training from Trading Pit Veterans" My name is Dan Sheridan and for 22 years I have battled in the pits at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. I've been through every storm the market has thrown at me and survived. I was part of Mercury Trading, one of the most successful option trading specialists at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Along with being one of the head traders, I also was responsible for training and mentoring our traders, including current Mercury president and top Options Trader Pete Najarian. Our traders consistently made money because they were among the best trained and most disciplined traders in the business. All of the traders in the pit had a mentor. That was a big part of how we learned to become successful traders.   Occasionally, the Chicago Board Options Exchange or a brokerage company would ask me to do a seminar on trading options. Without exception, I always would ask this question at the beginning of each seminar. How many people have consistently made money trading options over the past year? The answers were always the same. Very few! This always puzzled me. The retail community obviously was not getting the same teaching and information our traders were.

After 22 wonderful years, I have left the Pit to solve this problem. Our traders, and many other traders, consistently make profits, and you can, too! My six month approach involves teaching, developing an individual trading plan, and walking you through the jungle to help you achieve your goals. Through my mentorship program, you'll work intensely with myself and one of my hand-picked professional trading mentors for six months, listen to my daily mentoring sessions and weekly online trading sessions, and then implement what you've learned as you set off on your own. For many options training firms, the ultimate goal is to help ensure their financial success - not yours. That's why many of these programs never fully prepare you to leave the nest. My joy will come from seeing you complete my program and trade for yourself. We will hand select every student entering into this mentoring program. This six month (plus Continuing Access) program will only be suitable for traders willing to make the serious commitment required.

Dan's completely updated mentoring program is designed to provide the best possible opportunity for you to become successful at trading options instead of just taking a course or seminar for a few days. This indefinite program coupled with six months of hands on one on one mentoring, is unlike any other program on the market today. We want to make sure that you become a successful trader. That means month after month, year after year, you will continue to get access to advanced options education at only one low price. After this first year, we want all of our students to continue to have access. There is nothing that you need to do to maintain your membership status. As long as we are in business you will have access to the website and the Sheridan Mentoring Community. Having access to a very active forum made up of real traders, provides the opportunity to get real answers to questions that you may have every day.
 
The best way for you to achieve trading success is to have a good plan and to be an active part of an online community of traders. This community gives you the information, the opportunity, and the interaction with other likeminded traders to meet your end goals. Meet live with other students on our site and on our dime. The groups are very diverse. We have a range of educational levels in each group. Our groups are organized by trading platform and geographically so group members can get together in person if they would like. The trading groups are a great way to keep you motivated and accountable they will help the overall learning experience. These are some of the resources you have access to after you join the mentorship:

• Have access to this website with information, links, forums, small trading groups, tools and documentation of the mentoring program.
• Have access to all of our Mentors public, live, one-on-one sessions each week with mentors and students going over real trades.
• Have access to all the live specialty classes, one almost every day of the week.
• Full access to our 3500+ video archive. Every public session that we have on our site is recorded and then archived. We have an extremely in-depth intuitive annotated archive. You can key word search anything you would like and if it's in our archive it will pull all related materials.
• Receive back-testing software for a FREE 6 month trial.

In the first month...
The training begins. A foundation will be laid which we can build on. You will:

• Receive the New Student Guide: A complete and comprehensive overview of our website, features, and tools.
• Receive a self study course using an updated course syllabus with corresponding videos.
• Participate in once weekly live classes with Dan focusing on the basics of options trading using his strategies.
• Be part of a small trading group.

Learning my strategies for risk management. You will:

• Participate with other 2nd & 3rd month students in two live classes each week with one of my mentors.
• Learn all of my strategies and trading methods from my Student Trading Manual with corresponding videos I have made for each strategy.
• Learn how to back test those strategies.
• Paper trade a model portfolio that I am trading each month with all of my students.

In months 4 through 6...

Let the battle begin: Live trading with Dan!
After the first 3 months, when I am sure that you are ready, you will then spend the next 3 months live trading with me as your mentor. You will have one personal session every two or three weeks of one-on-one mentoring with me, for a total of 6 sessions and participate in all of the other one-on-one student sessions, live or recorded, each week.

After the 6 month program, what happens next?
First let me just say that we are not here to rush you through our program. We understand that the vast majority of our students work full time or have other obligations that don't allow them to spend 40 hours per week on their options education. That's ok. We will give you as long as you need. We understand that different people learn at different speeds. Our program is tailor made to the individual. If you have to miss a session, its ok to reschedule. We are here to make sure you succeed and not to make sure you finish in exactly six months.
 
You will still have access to all of my latest concepts and information for a minimum of one year after your first month in the mentoring program. Each week there are usually two live sessions (which are recorded) called "Paper Traders" where I give out new information, go over new trading strategies and occasionally invite guest speakers such as brokers, tax specialists etc. who speak on related subjects to your trading. You can continue to watch my public one-on-one sessions with other students, live or recorded, and will have complete access to the website for the latest information, updated manuals, video archives, special option trading tools...everything! If you have any questions about your live trades you can call. Also, I or one of my mentors may schedule an additional one-on-one session with you as necessary to see how you're doing. .

I am a former Stock Day Trader that lost a huge amount of money. On the bright side my wife and kids are still with me. I realize that the amount of money that I lost I could have paid to get my BS in Business Admin degree again at a more prestigious university. I decided to spend the $6000 and take Dan Sheridan Mentoring Program. This was the best decision I've ever made besides marrying my wife. My perception of Dan is that he does not only teach you the skills in trading but also truly cares about you as a person. I know that I made a new friend in Dan and plan on making my Options Trading a real business with Dan's guidance. Aloha and Mahalo Randin

The one thing I really like about Dan's class is that he gives very specific guidelines about what stocks are appropriate (minimum price, minimum IV, IV percentile), what other factors to consider before initiating the trade, guidelines for entry (strikes, credit, skew, etc), guidelines for adjustment, stop losses and profit taking. Every book I've seen is really just "this is what an iron condor is", but not how to trade it and how to manage it along the way. Specifics. A sort of cookbook. I'm an engineer. I'm a very logical thinker. I like rules and guidelines.

With Dan's strategies, I've achieved +8.6%, +9.2%, -3.5%, +14.5% and +10.6% returns on total investment in my first 5 months. That's 39% in 5 months and includes all of my trades, winners and losers both. These results are a testimony not only to the strategies, but to Dan's teachings in money management and risk management.

Dan's enthusiasm and knowledge base for options trading makes it easy for a student to stay focused and learn this complicated subject. His mastery of the greeks is phenomenal. And his ability to explain potential trades and existing positions in terms of the greeks is a skill I could never learned on my own.
