Danny Riley CEO of MrTopStep, partner at PitBullTraders

Danny Riley guides us.

Danny started as a runner at the Chicago Board of Trade in the late 1970s. In 1985 he moved to the S&P at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he helped build one of the largest S&P order desks on the floor; one of its customers was Marty “The Pit Bull” Schwartz. He has been in the futures markets for more than four decades, in the pits and on the screens.

While still on the floor he started MrTopStep, which gives January 2009 as its launch. The name comes from the pits of the Chicago Board of Trade, where the most senior member stood on the top step. Every trading day Danny publishes the Opening Print, his read on the market.

Danny has his own room at MrTopStep, IMPro. We trade in ours, the NxtGen room.

Danny’s storyFrom the pit to the screen

From Danny’s own articles and interviews and MrTopStep’s pages. His full story and his videos from the floor are on his page.

We trade futures with order flow and auction market theory. We do it live in front of the room and explain every trade as we take it: where we get in, where we are wrong and where we take profit.

    Do I need experience or a trading account?

    No. To watch, you only need access to the room. We explain every trade as we take it: where we get in, where we are wrong and where we take profit.

    Do you sell signals?

    No. We show every trade and the reason for it, so you learn to read the market yourself. What you trade is always your own decision.

    Is this financial advice?

    No. Everything on this site and in the room is education, not investment advice. Trading futures carries a real risk of losing money.

    What do ES, NQ, GC and 6E mean?

    They are the symbols of four futures: ES stands for the S&P 500, NQ for the Nasdaq 100, GC for gold and 6E for the euro.
