2018-19 Miller-Dayne Trading Network
I have been a struggling small lot trader for many years. It has not been for a lack of quality learning material. I always felt if I could be part of group that provided guidance and support that would make the difference for me. Well thankfully Don has provided that venue and I am ecstatic. I signed up on May 16. Before that day, I would have taken advantage of a holiday (I have a day job) like last night/today to LOSE a big portion of my small account but now it feels like shooting fish in a barrel (see pic). I am trying very hard not too get overly confident (I know there will be ups and downs) but something in my bones says I have made the turn. I want thank everyone in the room, I believe we are onto something BIG! M.T.
Thus far I have one red day in three weeks (15 for 16 including Sundays). The one red day was last Friday and I was very aware I was trading frustrated that day due to some circumstances the prior day that were in my head. So the excellent takeaway is I’m 15 for 15 with a clear head and 0 for 1 with a noisy one. Being a part of this effort is the single greatest opportunity ever afforded to me in my trading career of many years. I’m so grateful to all in here that have had a positive influence on me. J.H.
“Today was the single largest capital gain of my 7 year career. Mainly just by bumping up to reasonable sizes for my account. Profitable every day since the room started. Quite a track record which I intend to keep going.” S.M.
“I know for me, the narration is the key. That combined with your incredible knowledge has helped me tremendously. The narration allows me to focus on the charts without having to constantly read the chat and I would figure it helps you Don because you don’t have to type. Plus little things you say, breathe and let the market take care of the trade. Those are all helpful in keeping focus. I feel so confident now. Thanks. Thank you again for this room.” T.B.
This is the most disciplined I’ve traded in a very long time, thank you so much! Paid for five months of service so far! J.H.
Paid for 3 months already. These indicators are awesome. T.B.
I’m with you B – the additional confirmations will catapult my Trading and Confidence to the next level! K.B.
Great day!! You kept me from over-trading and from giving up on the long this morning. Loved all the commentary and teaching. K.M.
Transformational day, love the room, fellow members and look forward to getting to know everyone over our time together! G.K.
One of the things I am trying to overcome as a small lot trader is not to take winners off too soon. Today I was patient and although I ended up with only 1 scratch trade (+$), I let things play out and did not panic on the upside nor downside. (despite me wanting to take the 3pts I was up). Already making changes! Thanks! J.C.
Don, your commentary, focus, periodic silence, and the indicators kept me calm so far. A small + today, thank you! B.C.
3 long trades from last night, all worked out well. N.
3 longs today; all entries small; added “medium” w/ green delta turn. :heart: the indicators! H.R.
Thank you Don- took that long at 63.50 after I heard the longing to go long in your voice- just closed it for a nice profit. S.P.
I still have much to learn about the bells and whistles on this boat… but FANTASTIC job as coxswain Don! This is the sort of day I would normally have read the market correctly, but then become impatient waiting on the long and end up over-trading in both directions. My broker would do great and I would end up all wet. Instead, I had a very nice day today. Really appreciate your clear narration… and teaching along the way! R.G.

Huge ‘outlier’ day today. Made my month and possibly year! Combining the bias grid/delta with my own signals has made getting into the zone effortless. It took a few days, and some reinforcements of basic Jellie concepts, but once it came together… wow! I truly believe this going to change my trading forever. Hope everyone can experience the same benefit. Amazing Don, thank you! J.M. Jellie Team #15
Jellie Study Session Videos:
Don – A bit of feedback for you. Your Oversold Stochastic on Trend Support setup (From Webinar Session #1) has already made the cost of the course worthwhile. I use MACD for divergence in price but I have found using the Stochastic in the way you describe has allowed me to really tighten up some of my entries. Thank you so much. T.M.
Don – Excellent first presentation … thank you very much. V.M.
Don – I’ve listened to the recording this afternoon and will re-listen again tomorrow. Great stuff! Looking forward to #2. Thank you. K.C.
Don – Good stuff you are doing!! I’ve already learned 2 things (one obvious that I had never thought about!) that will pay for the videos. C.S.
Hi Don – Just saw your latest video and am very pleased at how well things are going for you with both your health (you do look a lot healthier and more relaxed too) and the Jellies. The webinars are high quality with a significant educational value, by far the best $1500 I have ever spent on anything related to trading. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing! M.B.
Don – We are only half way through and I am already dreading the weekly webinars ending. I honestly feel I’ve gotten more then my $1,500 worth already. There is a wealth of knowledge in the 4 webinars you have already given and I will be reviewing them over and over for a long time. The most important aspect for me was hearing you say things I felt, but was not confident in my own ideas. Thank you. S.T.
Don – A quick note … haven’t been able to make any of the actual Webinars but the value of those recordings has been priceless! Entered the AM yesterday with the late day push from Monday clearly in mind looking for follow thru (hearing your voice in the back of my head). Sure enough got a nice push into the gap and low and behold a nice little 1 min pattern appears (wedge like mini 3push) with tick divergence – (again Don’s voice in the back of my head). I would normally take this pattern as it pushes into this level regardless, but your reinforcement gave me additional confidence to nail it… and hit the subsequent pull back later. Many thanks – it’s been a pleasure riding this wave! P.A.
It has been a wonderful experience. My biggest takeaway is that you were absolutely correct in creating the tank as a vehicle, not just for its intensity and duration, both of which I have previously experienced, but for the bonding and mutual support that has occurred. It is palpable and something you should be very proud of. C.S.
I reviewed much of the webinar material over the last couple of days. Great stuff… it really is. I would be surprised if anybody paid $1,500 for this material and didn’t feel they received excellent value. The interesting thing is, I have seen most of the material in some form or fashion before, but you have a way of putting things into a context and perspective that is unique, stressing what some may same like ”nuances” but I see as critical differences between becoming consistently profitable and failing. You have really made an attempt to tie it all together and continually reinforce key concepts. A story that needs to be told in its entirety, not three or four hours over a weekend. When I started trading I never really bought into the psychological pitfalls until I felt some serious lingering pain. Some expensive lessons. K.G.
Don – This week I was able to apply the 1min Tick and 1min ES bar chart that you shared in the Webinar. Whoa! In three days I made more good trades then I did in 3 months. Thursday was the best. C.K.
Don – The course and your teaching style are both excellent. A.W.
Don – I feel that this was the best investment that I have made to date in this trading business and believe that it has and will continue to benefit my results as a trader. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the Jellies. S.N.
Don – I know I am a man of few words, but I really do appreciate all the time and effort you have put into the Jellie Tank. Thank You!!! B.C.
Don – Very impressed with the content of the first three and looking forward to multiple viewings of the remaining five. C.K.
Don – I have viewed all eight webinars now … fantastic, professional, and thoroughly useful. C.K.
Multiple-Week Jellie Live Market Training Program:
Don – I was compelled to write to let you know how honored I am to be working with a person with values such as yours. My feelings are a mixture of pride and gratitude that there is kind humanity amongst us. Thanks for such a gift to the ADA and me. R.D.
Don – The class has really been outstanding. I’ve been through only a few life-changing educational events, and this was one of them. R.S.
I just want to thank you very much Don for what has been an incredibly educational and eye opening week for me. I am looking forward to trading in this team environment for a long time to come. I have learned a great deal this week from watching you trade Don (very impressive trading) and using your methods I have managed to string together 5 profitable day trading days, all $1K+ and today $3K+. Not only have I never had day trading results like these before, but I have done about 20% of the number of contracts I usually do this week: less trading, less stress, and much better, and more importantly, consistent results. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this educational effort Don. M.B.
Thank you, both for your no stops Herculean effort in the tank this week and your excellent blog posts, especially last night’s. I don’t know how you do it, especially after a day as intense as yesterday. Above all thank you for sharing your hard won knowledge so generously, I honestly don’t know if I would have ever learned the lessons you have imparted so effectively on my own. I was going in completely the wrong direction. I am certain that you have saved me years of trying to climb a highly taxing learning curve and I feel confident, for the 1st time since I started trading, that I have a realistic chance to be a successful trader. I know not all days and weeks will be like last week, comes with the territory, but I now know what is possible and feel I am on the right path.
I couldn’t agree with you more about the potential of this remarkable team you have put together, I am grateful to be a part of it and excited for the future. Your wonderful donation to the ADA is just a taste of the positive impact we can have beyond trading.
Have a great weekend my friend, you deserve it! M.B.
Hello Don – I know the Jellie education session is not quite over yet, but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for giving me an opportunity to be a part of the effort. I really feel like learning your perspective on the market filled a lot of “holes in my poker game”.
I still find entries a bit stressful … but thru your personal “market lens”, I have been able to vastly improve my accuracy and avoid awful trades w/ low probability.
I used everything I know today from your lessons, market instruction and my past trading knowledge to put together a nice take for the day. Anticipated morning chop, read the higher timeframe support on the 60min, watched $TICK for confirmations.
I believe with all my heart, if I continue to work hard, focus, and exercise patience, I will not become the 95% statistic of trader washouts. I want to post my own charity check photo one day and put in the footnotes that this was all possible because of Don Miller’s Jellie effort.
Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt bet they could raise traders like turtles. I don’t know who won that bet – and I don’t know if you made any bets. However, I stand behind the idea that you can show a person how to trade … and the rest like you said, depends on how much you put into it. Will you turn 46 Jellies into millionaire traders? Maybe, maybe not. But I am sure that your teaching efforts will have greatly advanced the progress of the 46 in measure of light years.
While I don’t know how to trade like a Don Miller clone (never my intent), and I’m fairly certain none of the turtles ever became Richard Dennis clones either. The Jellie education session truly provided the framework to bring my trading to the next level. This is not just a one-day phenomenon. I’ve noticed the changes evolving over the last 2.5 weeks.
I am glad I called you up on your trip home from Foxwoods. Regardless of where the networking room goes, I hope that we remain in contact.
Thanks again for all of your help and support. H.S.
Hi Don – Thanks a million. You’re an extraordinary trader/teacher and I am coming away with so much more that just ‘solid entries’. You have helped me to blend some great techniques and execute trades whilst still using Market Profile for bias and structure.
It’s not just entries and exits though. I am much better at ameliorating risk, scaling in and out (which has made a huge difference), defining ranges, trusting ranges (until broken of course), spotting divergences and applying greater focus.
I also admire you because you have helped me to ‘believe in myself ‘….and this is truly crucial to successful trading.
I wish you and your family the very best for the future and should you ever find yourself on a well deserved vacation in the UK, it would be great to meet up.
Thank you so much once again.
All the best C.K.
