Trading-floor discipline
Keith Schneider begins trading on New York commodity exchanges, where leadership and risk are tested in real time.
Risk belongs in the decision—not as an afterthought.
You are exploring the shared MarketGauge story. Your next step stays with the offering you came to see.
Return to your journeyThat is the MarketGauge objective: help clients pursue more consistent profitability through a disciplined process that identifies opportunity, defines risk and adapts as markets change. One research foundation is delivered through personal investing, professional model licensing for client or company use, and managed portfolios.
The headlines change. Leaders rotate. A pullback can be an opportunity—or a warning. You still have to decide what deserves your capital and how much risk to take.
You need a way to connect those decisions, not more information to sort through alone.
MarketGauge grew from New York commodity-floor trading, Market Vision and portfolio management at Millennium Partners into a research business founded in 1997.
That experience informs the work: interpret market conditions, connect the evidence, define risk and make the process usable through the relationship that fits your needs.

Pursue profits with risk you can live with: know why you are participating, define the risk before acting and have a plan for changing course as evidence changes.

During the commodity supercycle, different commodities led at different times. As a member of all four New York commodity exchanges, Keith Schneider rotated among those markets, focusing on a specific commodity as opportunity shifted.
That experience helped shape MarketGauge’s approach today: follow leadership across asset classes, focus selectively and rebalance as conditions change.
The history matters because its lessons remain practical: respect risk, connect market evidence and turn research into a process you can use.

Keith and Geoff apply systematic leadership disciplines at Millennium Partners, then deliver research directly through MarketGauge.
Research has to translate into decisions and implementation.
Professional licensing and managed portfolios join self-directed research, education and technology.
Choose how to use the discipline without confusing who is responsible.
Our core belief is concentration with disciplined risk management. Diversification should add complementary opportunities and risk controls—not simply more holdings.
Eligible securities are filtered and ranked under the relevant strategy. SMID requires fundamentals and earnings before leadership ranking; large-cap models use different selection criteria.
Market and index evidence can prevent a scheduled rotation. Mean reversion is used selectively only when the strategy, timeframe and confirmed reversal support it.
Strategy-specific sizing, stops, targets, scaling and cash rules determine how exposure is established, reduced or exited. Concentration can magnify losses; risk controls do not eliminate them.
Research helps you understand the market. Technology tests the evidence. Models apply defined rules. Education builds the skill to use them. You do not have to adopt every capability to benefit from the discipline.
BigView, Market Outlook, market-regime analysis and the Economic Modern Family translate market evidence into practical context.
Real Motion®, Leadership / Triple Play®, Calendar Range research, the MarketGauge Trend Strength Indicator (TSI), daily scanners and PRIME charting help investors evaluate opportunity and risk.
Stock, ETF, global-macro and eligible crypto models use proprietary inputs, including TSI and polynomial-based calculations in selected production models, together with model-specific selection and risk rules.
Courses, Mish’s Ultimate Trading Program, the Economic Modern Family and optional live coaching help self-directed investors build skill as well as access tools.
Trading, technology, education, quantitative research, implementation and client service remain connected—but the roles are distinct.
