Welcome to Mark D Cook's Pathway to Trading

Cook's Trader Advisory on S&P and T-bond futures, that is specifically dedicated to helping people become better traders. His own early trading years were difficult, but as he struggled for success he gained valuable experience and learned what makes and breaks a trader.

 Mark developed the Cook Cumulative Tick_SM indicator and gained acclaim by winning the 1992 U.S. Investment Championship with an astounding 563.8% return. He has written numerous articles for industry publications including Futures magazine, Financial Trader and Barrons, and was featured in Forbes magazine (January, 1994) and has been on the cover of Active Trader Magazine.  In addition to his trading activities, he conducts workshops and teaches traders from around the globe, helping them learn how to make the most of their natural talents.

Mark will provide you with a set of several daily trading rules which he has developed over a day-trading career spanning 28 years. Using these rules he will show you that trading is actually a composite of many ebbs and flows at different times of the day and that your potential success depends entirely upon your own ability and dedication.

He will share with you his personal strategies and techniques, including the Cook Cumulative Tick_SM, an overbought-oversold indicator he has spent 21 years developing which draws on correlations between the S&P 500, T-Bonds.  Finally, Mark will show you how you can adapt his tactics to your own personal trading style.
