dm seems like a nice guy. seems like decent trader in niche. seems to take himself way too serious. way too melodramatic. way too self absorbed. needs to loosen up. take some breaks. travel. live life away from little basement office and little lines on the screen. too narrow => little perspective right now.

Quote from TraderZones:
RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING SPAM EMAIL FROM DON MILLER
nice to know that he is doing so well, he needs to buy email lists and market/troll for new customers. I turned off the websites so as not to send people his way.
Also, interesting how he compares himself to CTAs and then tells us he is not a CTA...
The fine print rivalled the marketing message in length
Train With Proven Excellence Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:25 AM
From: "offers@tradingmarkets.com" <offers@tradingmarkets.com>Add sender to ContactsTo:
In 2008, I took a break from teaching traders to focus my entire market energy on trading my private futures fund. In doing so, I was fortunate to have my private fund return of 214% (+$1.6 Million) beat that of assets managed by the world's top public Commodity Trading Advisors 1, a journey that was fully chronicled on my daily blog at www.XYZ.com.
In 2009, I embarked on an equally aggressive mission to vastly improve trader education by launching the Jellie Project to provide one of the most intensive futures trading educational efforts ever experienced. "Jellie" is short for Jellyfish, which reflect creatures that must adapt to the current in order to survive, as well as "sting or be stung". The initial Jellie team included twenty traders from various walks of life around the world, including Professional Athletes, Corporate Executives, Floor Traders, and Prop Shop owners.
As a part of the intense eight-week live market training effort, I included and recorded sixteen hours of formal seminar training for all traders to benefit, while donating 15% of the course revenue to the American Diabetes Association. These Study Session Videos reflect the most intense educational tools I've ever produced, and the industry response and feedback to the effort from participants and brokers has been exceptional.
As a result, I'm pleased to make these tools available to all traders at a fraction of their value through October 31, 2009, with a portion of the proceeds continuing to benefit the American Diabetes Association.
After having long been critical about the lack of quality trader education by successful traders, my approach is simple:
Provide an experience of the highest quality
Keep it extremely realistic and applicable
Exceed student expectations
Promote self-sufficiency
Be even more committed than participating students
Simply "tell it like it is"
Donate a portion to charity
I can't promise fame and riches. But I can promise to provide a non-hype educational experience of the highest quality intended to increase the probability of succeeding in an industry which is too often cloaked by smoke and mirrors.
For more information on the Jellie Study Session Videos, or to participate in the next online Jellie team mentoring effort scheduled for October 27 through November 30, visit www.XYZ.com.

I too get emails where someone wishes to share their good fortune and help me but they are of type that involve a fund transfer to a foreign bank and promising some % of the returns from a son of a dictator in foreign country.
Believe it or not, Don Miller has relatives who live in Nigeria.
Your name says it all....no class, as is evident by what you wrote...
Is he really that "Cheap"?
