From the late 80’s to 2004, I was privileged to work with Mercury Trading at the CBOE, led by Jon Najarian. In later years, his brother Pete joined and helped lead the troops. Both Pete and Jon were contributors for many years on CNBC’s Fast Money. Our Traders had a unique Team Approach where we were invested financially in how the other Traders performed. The infamous “Morning Meeting” every day pitted the 5-8 Traders we had around a table where each trader would go over his plan for the day and everyone else would encourage, give feedback, and hold each other accountable for the Plan that was agreed upon. Sheridan Mentoring was established with many of the principles from the “Morning Meeting” and how we train our Students. I was one of the Traders with Mercury Trading that was involved with training the Traders. I was personally involved with helping train Pete Najarian when he left Pro Football to work with his brother.
