DLC Profiles, Inc. is an educational and learning resource
focused on supporting your learning process
and
ADVANCING THE POWER OF CUMULATIVE EXPERIENCE!
Phase I: Foundation – We delve into the components that comprise the market's auction process. You will learn to use the Market Profile to interpret market-generated information, identify the behaviors of the market’s multiple timeframes, and interpret structures that develop during the auction process.  These components will be studied individually and in combination to form the basis of a fundamental market understanding.

Phase II: Context – This is the most intense and complex phase of the series.  It includes viewing components as part of the holistic market; exploring the contextual importance of each component; and learning to discern when a set of circumstances is of prime importance, and when those same circumstances are of relatively little significance under different market conditions. These challenging concepts are continually reinforced throughout the series, and are supported by our weekly webinars and a series of commentaries.

Phase III: Tactics – In this final phase, we synthesize all of the information examined in preceding sections, and apply it to real market situations.  In tandem, we continually review and decipher concrete examples in our ongoing publications and webinars.
Part II - Application
Index Insights - This weekly educational commentary - applicable to all futures and commodities - employs examples from current market activity to advance your market understanding, and to help you prepare for the upcoming trading week. These commentaries are focused on reinforcing the educational principles defined in the Cognitive Learning Series modules.

Cognitive Market Commentaries - A series of 24 commentaries focused on a cognitive approach to understanding specialized market events, in relation to DLC Profiles educational offerings, including Jim Dalton's books Mind over Markets and Markets in Profile.

Cognitive Market Webinars - These twice-monthly online discussions cover the latest activity in the S&P and other active markets.

Cognitive Learning Webinars - These monthly online discussions focus on clarifying and expanding upon the information provided in Mind over Markets, Markets in Profile, the three Phase I workbooks (Foundation, Context, and Tactics), as well as publications Commentaries and Index Insights.

E-Mail Support - We provide comments and observations to questions and answers via e-mail and telephone.
Part I - Assimilation
Your ultimate trading success will be the direct result of numerous factors, including: accurately  quantifying your individual trading timeframe; developing your own personal trading strategy; learning to manage your self (emotions and fears); continually refining your trading process; the time and energy you invest in your continuing trading education; your deliberate practice; and, above all, your passion and commitment to achievement.

To this end, we feel it is most important for us to outline what DLC Profiles, Inc. DOES NOT DO - We do not tell you to:

  • Trade or NOT trade
  • Trade a specific trading system or strategy
  • Where or when to buy or sell (or not to buy or sell)
  • Which markets to trade or not to trade
  • What timeframes to trade or not to trade

Furthermore, we do not assume responsibility or accountability for your decisions or actions, nor do we participate in your winning trades or the consequences of your losing trades.
DLC Profiles Cognitive Learning Series / Continuous Education Series Standards of Practice
The tuition is $2,650.
DLC Profiles - The ‘Cognitive Learning / Continuous Education Series’
Overview:  Designed to help you transform trading principles into tangible results, The DLC Profiles Cognitive Learning / Continuous Education Series offers a comprehensive learning process that will help   you create and implement your own, individual Cognitive Trading Process - the trading philosophy that capitalizes on both hemispheres of your brain to identify and capitalize on market-generated information.
Market understanding involves developing insight into the market's natural auction process, learning how to interpret market-generated information (via the Market Profile), and studying the different actions and motives of the market's varying participant timeframes.

Self-understanding involves an ongoing quest to better understand your innate intellect, how you process information - while coping with various levels of both financial and emotional duress - and the positive and negative ramifications of your unique cumulative experience.

Cumulative experience is the sum total of your accumulated knowledge, developed in a series of non-linear stages over time.

DLC Profiles Educational Offerings
Education requires a significant investment of time, energy, and money.  We believe our responsibility is to provide you with complete information about our learning processes so you can make an informed decision about whether DLC Profiles' educational offerings are:
  • Congruent with your trading goals and objectives
  • Supportive of advancing your learning process
  • A quantifiable investment, versus an expense
To provide you with that information, we have developed a comprehensive overview process that includes the following components:
  • A highly interactive discussion focused on our understanding of your experience, goals and objectives, expectations, and commitment to the learning process.
  • An overview of our CL/CES Learning Process, including our backgrounds, experience, goals and objectives, expectations, process, and commitment to the learning process.
  • Our candid opinion regarding the suitability of our CL/CES Learning Process for you.  In other words, if we do not believe our CL/CES Learning Process will support your unique learning and trading goals and objectives, we will tell you; a significcant component of the success of any learning process relies on the student fully embracing and immersing themselves in that process.
