Small Account Trading is where thousands have come since 2014 to learn strategies that keep you focused at the task at hand: learning and building a small account without getting distracted by learning things that don’t apply toward the framework for small account trading.

The Origin Story

In 2013, while working as a Portfolio Manager for a Long/Short equity hedge fund Dan began teaching a group of traders online in a chat room. That led to the first training which taught them how to think about trading from a new perspective; that of using a small account. 

The First Student & Birth of Landshark

In 2013 while still working on Wall Street still as a long/short portfolio manager (Wall Street speak for stock trader) at a hedge fund a friend reached out to Dan. He asked him to speak to a friend who was struggling to trade and the connected. He looked at what they were doing and found a solution that matched their trading issues. Most of it was related to learning to read price action contextually and learning to be patient. 

And from there, The first training (which is The Landshark Method today) was called Bullshark Trading and it comprised of a 50+ page hard-copy trading manual 15 video lectures and a Skype group.  He then created the SAT (Small Account Tactics) lectures which focused on trading a framework and risk model for options designed specifically for smaller accounts. 

Funding Traders with POA

In 2016 Dan began funding traders he trained and trusted at Landshark with his own money. The principles and framework they used are the same that are taught here today in both futures and options trading. 

  • Focus on repeatable frameworks
  • Trade small and be done by 11:30am daily
  • Focus on trading the RIGHT things and NOT everything 

2024 - The Birth of Small Account Trading

Bryan Agosto, an original student from 2017 began to take over and help students who had been using the SAT Frameworks of old and decided to bring a community together that only focused on building beginners who were using small accounts.
