Little, a professional money manager trading his own accounts while managing investment funds for qualified investors from his Colorado-based office, is the author of multiple trading\/investment books that espouse a neoclassical approach to trading the markets. He has and continues to write extensively for many popular publications such as Stocks and Commodities, Active Trader, TheStreet.com, RealMoneyPro.com, MarketWatch.com and Minyanville.com.

These principles are accomplished through cutting edge technical analysis tools and neoclassical theory practicing active money and portfolio management and the use of simple probabilities to put the odds in your favor on each trade.<\/p>\n<p>At TA Today our carefully crafted trading methodology blends these three key trading components into a powerful approach to trade selection, management, and completion. Our premise is simple. Active money management combined with our unique form of neoclassical technical analysis with an eye to capital preservation provides the means to outperform. Small traders have a distinct advantage over large ones as they are more agile. They can dart in and out of the market at will and can move from net long to short in a few minutes. That is not true of large money managers and funds. That doesn&#8217;t mean that you need to be hyperactive but when the risk increases safety is a virtue. All you can truly control is your risk and capital preservation is the key to outperforming the market over long periods of time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>S&amp;P 500 Daily Chart<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SPX-Daily20121101-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-21687 aligncenter\" title=\"SPX-Daily20121101\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SPX-Daily20121101-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"380\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>S&amp;P 500 Weekly Chart<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SPX-Weekly20121101.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21688 aligncenter\" title=\"SPX-Weekly20121101\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/SPX-Weekly20121101-610x415-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"567\" height=\"385\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.triggerpointresearch.com\/subscription\/signup\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-20176\" title=\"tpr_14\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/tpr_14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"85\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Looking to invest in The Disciplined Investor Managed Growth Strategy?<br \/>\nClick below for the virtual tour&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/mailbox\/tdi-investment-fund\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/TDIMG-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"318\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a id=\"podcast\" name=\"podcast\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9606\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode287.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('9606','http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode287.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/TDI_PlayPodcast-679.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode287.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=21537-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode287.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"tdi_episode287.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 1:00:37 &#8212; 33.5MB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5vtvEVDPUi4221imwhXyXt\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_spotify\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Spotify\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Markets-and-Investing\/The-Disciplined-Investor-p414586\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/subscribe-to-podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_more\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More\" rel=\"nofollow\">More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest: L.A.
