My name is Lee Lowell.
I’m the editor of the Instant Money Trader as well as a regular contributor/editor to The White Cap Report.
I’m one of America’s leading options professionals, spending six years in the options “trenches” as a market maker on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) in New York City.
You may have read my popular book, Get Rich With Options: Four Winning Strategies Straight From The Exchange Floor, or read one of my numerous articles for OptionInvestor.com. I also contribute to several financial publications such as Futures magazine and Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities.
Recently, I partnered with eSignal to produce articles for the website’s educational section.
I’m one of those rare men in the investing world… who’s not about climbing the ladder at any of those hotshot trading firms (though any firm would be glad to have me).
All I had ever done up until my “retirement” (at age 31) was trade for profit – either with my own cash or for the company that entrusted me with millions in trading dollars. And for a professional trader, nothing can top the experience of being right down there “in the pit” where all the action is, six hours a day… where one facial expression can lead a seasoned trader to huge gains… and one mistake can cost tens of thousands, even millions, of dollars.
Much of my success is due to one simple fact: I know how to make money. And when you’re risking millions of dollars on a trade, you better have a strategy that will virtually assure winning. Otherwise, your days on the trading floor – indeed, your days as a trader – will be very brief.
I have proven myself through every step of my highly successful career.
At age 25, my firm was so impressed with my trading skills after just one year as a wet-behind-the-ears options clerk; I was promoted to occupy one of 816 cherished seats on the trading floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange and entrusted with millions of dollars in trading funds.
I became a market maker for my firm – the cream of the crop savvy, senior traders who establish both the sell and the buy price of a trading instrument with the goal of making money off the spread.
As you’ll discover in a moment, it’s this experience that formed the foundation of my strategy. And I’m helping readers learn how to extract thousands in routine gains from the markets with every recommendation I make.
In all, I spent six years as a floor trader making huge gains for my firm and myself. At age 31, I left the NYMEX trading floor – packed up and “retired” to Hawaii to recharge my batteries, regain my sanity… and to embark on my next professional challenge: Mastering the art of chart analysis and electronic screen trading research and distilling that information into an easy to read format so I can show readers, like you, how to make money on a regular basis.
In 2008, I started a new research service – Instant Money Trader – that is proving to be as informative and successful as my previous and current undertakings.
In fact, since I launched the Instant Money Trader – the portfolio has had an amazing 93% win-rate… despite the current market volatility.
That means out of the 46 plays we recommended since inception, subscribers have been able to book gains 43 times.
