Salepage: Market Making Scalping Manual by Gary Norden

Why is this coming to market now?

The Market Making style of Scalping is becoming a lost art. Many people are under the impression that what HFTs do is market making but that is not really the case. Certainly in Futures markets, HFT participation is now quite low, you only have to look at the small amount of depth in the Order Book to figure that out. Gary Norden is one of the few people that still trades as a Market Maker and still teaches it. He teaches so few people now and the number is reducing each year as his work with Hedge Funds and other projects doesn’t give him much time for mentoring. He is currently working on his own small proprietary trading firm that focuses on Market Making (the same techniques in this manual) and it does look like he won’t have much time for teaching at all. It was Gary’s decision to put this together and I’m happy he made it.

His history is quite impressive:

Youngest ever trader at the Yamaichi Securities in London at 18.
Senior Trader for a number of Investment Banks in London.
He was appointed Head of LIFFE Options for UK Bank Natwest at 23 – leading them to become one of the dominant firms in that space.
Traded on of the largest convertible bond books (ING).
Traded options and futures at the trading pits at LIFFE, for many years, trading his own money.
Now consults to Investment banks, Hedge Funds and Exchanges.
He is a keen poker player.
Is currently in the process of setting up his own hedge fund NN² Capital

He is, without doubt one, of the world’s leading experts on Market Making and Scalping.

At the same time, there’s a number of people on line claiming to have been taught by Gary and that they can teach the techniques. A number of people have paid money to them and never heard anything from these ‘teachers’ again. Everyone that Gary teaches signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and none have gone into education, nor could they because of the NDA. We are releasing this manual, so that people can finally find out about these techniques from Gary.

This manual is NOT for everyone and it is NOT cheap. This information is not available anywhere else, Gary has been trading as a Market Maker for decades. You are paying to benefit from that experience.

What does it contain?

In short, this manual contains information you can’t get elsewhere. Information on Market Making style of Scalping. It is a short text based manual – hosted on the Jigsaw Members Pages. (It cannot be downloaded, you have to view it from the site). Before converting it to web pages, the eBook was about 55 pages long. It’s quality, not quantity. There are a number of very important lessons but this is not rocket science, it’s trading. The manual explains the principles behind the market making style of futures scalping that Gary uses and teaches. It is intended only for futures traders. This style is more professional in nature and perhaps more intense than techniques that are aimed at retail traders.

The course explains:

The basic technique of Market Makers.
What to look for in a trade.
Using the spread.
Utilizing Queue Position.
How to adjust for fast or slow markets.
How to manage/re-evaluate your trades.
Trading Chop vs Moves.
Scratching Trades.

This will require hard work to implement. It did for Gary all those years ago when he started. It has done for his mentorship students. In Gary’s own words “I have written a manual that explains The Principles of Scalping from a market making perspective. It has been written as a stand alone product so there will be no further mentoring or going over videos as I do with personal clients. It will, therefore, be considerably cheaper than the full personal tuition”.

Read this manual very carefully, there are literally dozens of points that are important, some may seem small at first reading. You will probably need to re-read this manual many times to get the full benefit.
