Pieter is an active trader with 10 year of market trading experience. His formal education was in Economics, which he passed Cum Laude at the University of the Free State in South Africa. While studying for economics he thought it wise to apply the knowledge learned to the markets, which led to the first trades taking place while being a student. He also completed the necessary qualifications to be registered as broker on the JSE Securities Exchange as well as the South African Futures Exchange. After graduating he joined a local South African brokerage firm where he started as arbitrage trader. His interest in the movement of markets soon led the directors of the firm to allow him to do small principle trading, which led him across Joe DiNapoli’s work. Just before leaving the firm to trade for his own account he was senior dealer for the firm on the South African Futures Exchange – Equity Derivatives, as well co-manager of the private client funds.

In 2008, after attending 2 standard and 2 advanced seminars at the feet of veteran trader, Joe DiNapoli, he became a DiNapoli Expert on the trading forum for Mr. DiNapoli’s clients.

Currently he focuses on trading for his own account as well as presenting education in Joe DiNapoli’s methodology. Coming from a family of educators and teachers, 10 years of market experience and keeping him up to date by seeing Joe as often as possible for seminars enables him to carry over Joe’s methodology at a level understandable to traders just starting up, as well as a few years into their trading career.

Joe DiNapoli:
Joe is a veteran trader with over 38 years of solid market trading experience. He is also a dogged and thorough researcher, an internationally recognized lecturer, and a widely acclaimed author.

His formal education was in electrical engineering and economics. His informal education was in "the Bunker". An aptly named trading room, packed full of computers and communications equipment, where most of Joe's early research began

Joe's exhaustive investigations into Displaced Moving Averages, his creation of the proprietary Oscillator Predictor and MACD Predictor, and in particular, his practical and unique method of applying Fibonacci ratios to the price axis, makes him one of today's most sought after experts.

Joe, is a registered CTA and for over 20 years, has taught his techniques in the major financial capitals of Europe, Asia, Russia, the Mid East, and South Africa as well as in the United States. In 1996 alone Mr. DiNapoli gave presentations to capacity audiences in over 23 financial centers around the globe. His articles have appeared in a wide variety of technical publications across the nation and worldwide.

He was a contributing author to "High Performance Futures Trading, Power Lessons From The Masters", selected 1990 book of the year by Super Trader's Almanac. He has also authored the "Fibonacci Money Management and Trend Analysis In Home Trading Course" which has been lauded by professional and novice traders alike. His most significant work to-date is the book "Trading with DiNapoli Levels", which has become the industry standard for students of Fibonacci trading techniques.

The "Atlanta Constitution" cited Joe's work by referring to the "magical power" of Fibonacci ratios in the market place. Joe has used this magic time and again on national TV to make both startling and uncannily accurate market predictions, particularly in stock market indexes and interest rate futures.

As president of Coast Investment Software, Inc., with offices in Bangkok, Thailand and on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, Joe continues to develop and deploy "high accuracy" trading methods, using a combination of leading and lagging indicators in unique and innovative ways.
