Fred Barnes, aka "DCDaytrader", a former Criminal Investigator with the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), looks at the markets through the lens of an investigator, believing the market leaves "footprints" or clues as to what is the prevailing opinion of its participants. DCDaytrader utilizes a discretionary trading plan based on the Novy Principles of Market Flow, which suggests that markets follow classical predictive paths caused by repetitive trading behavior that are always present in the infrastructure of the markets. A technician at heart, DCDaytrader is in the process of studying to obtain the certification for the Chartered Market Technician (CMT).
