Mish is known for her adept market timing, allowing her to recognize emerging trends weeks before other market analysts even pick up a whiff of the action.

For the last 11 years Mish has combined her passions for teaching and trading to be able to create educational courses for traders, and her own discretionary trading service with MarketGauge.
