Bob Dunn
Equities, E-mini Futures, Commodities Futures, and Personal Trading Plan Instructor
Bob Dunn began his career investing in the stock market in 1974, trading his own account primarily based on technical analysis.
He continued trading and, in 1980, he leased a membership at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and began trading commodity futures
exclusively. In 1982, he began publishing his daily newsletter, "The Market Guru" which provided trading recommendations
on all the major currencies and interest rate futures. These letters were distributed to numerous exchange members and clearing
firms. Continued trading success enabled Bob to purchase his own membership on the CME in 1985. He soon acquired his CFTC
certification as a licensed broker enabling him to represent retail accounts.
During the course of Bob's career, his expertise as a technical analyst was instrumental in his success. In 1999, Bob
purchased a membership at the Chicago Board of Trade and began trading the Dow Futures and the Ten Year Notes, always emphasizing
technical analysis as the key to successful trading over the long run. He continues to maintain his membership with the CME
Group. Bob still trades in addition to his teaching responsibilities here at Online Trading Academy, fulfilling his longtime
ambition to teach successful trading strategies to aspiring investors.
What students are saying about Bob Dunn:
"Bob's command of the subject matter is simply amazing. Clearly outstanding at the highest expert level. He
makes complex concepts, ideas and notions easily understandable through numerous examples. Bob is generous with his time and,
fortunately, takes the time to make sure all of the students grasp what's going on."

"Bob has been an amazing instructor. He is always willing to respond to all questions with all needed
details. He is extremely open in sharing his knowledge and experience, and only this, makes the time spent on this course a real
great investment!"

"Bob does a great job. Sure glad he was the person teaching the class. His experience and overall
knowledge of trading came through on every part of the class. Hope he finishes his book."
Daniel P., April 2009
"Bob did a great job teaching the material. He really made me feel comfortable. He made the material
seem doable and simple. It takes a really smart guy to do that. I didn't feel intimidated as I did in the pro-trader class.
Bob gets an A+ from me. He is the common person's teacher for sure! Anytime someone can make a complicated subject like trading
futures seem simple, I am on board!""

"Bob Dunn displayed enormous knowledge from his past work on the Chicago Board of Trade Trading Floor.
His demonstration of various patterns such as reversals, dojis, bearish and bullish flags, hammers, and haramis plus support
and resistance lines clearly showed watchful eyes can detect market changes a high percentage of the time."
Lee L., May 2008
"Bob's knowledge was extensive. His presentation well laid out. No questions unanswered."
Rod M., May 2008
"Bob Dunn was an exceptional teacher. He really went all out to make sure everyone was "getting it".
He willingly answered all questions thoroughly; he worked individually with people to make sure they understood the platform
and the best methods of trading. He worked diligently throughout the whole week. Please thank him for his efforts. Things are
finally sinking in for me."

Fred M., April 2008
"Bob is a very likeable guy who is very awesome at what he does."
Spencer D., April 2008
"Outstanding presentation in concise week-end format. Both Steve Misic and Bob Dunn enthusiastically
shared their exceptionally valuable insights and provided pointers to extra resources like websites to check broker track
records with regulators, free live quotes, pitfalls to avoid, must-read books. Small class size and comfortable format.
Technical analysis as applied to Forex trading reinforced the classic 7-day course. Great training, highly recommended to
any aspiring trader."
