About Dr. Barry Burns
Owner & Founder of Top Dog Trading
My passion
I’m a businessman who has owned several small companies. My business background taught me to focus on the bottom line, so my study of the financial markets was for one purpose only: to make profits.
I started my study of the markets under the direction of my late father, Patrick F. Burns, who accumulated 70 years of trading experience in his lifetime.
In addition, I hired three professional traders to mentor me personally, and even went to Chicago to work with a former floor trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
All of this research and study resulted in insights which eventually led to the development of my own Top Dog Trading methodology.
