Robert Miner
🇺🇸United States
The "Dynamic Trader" author — turned a multi-decade pattern-and-time methodology into modern WCTC placings across futures and forex divisions.
Miner has been in markets since the early 1980s and has run Dynamic Traders Group since 1993. His first book, Dynamic Trading, was named Trading Book of the Year and is the canonical reference for combining Elliott Wave / Fibonacci price ratios with Gann time ratios. He was named 1997 Market Guru of the Year by Supertraders Almanac — long before the WCTC placings began. The championship results came later in his career: a clean sweep of placings across the 2018 sub-championships (1st in Index & Interest Rate Futures, 3rd in Forex), then top-three returns in the Global Cup Futures cycle (2022-23) and Forex Championship (2023).
His methodology is the rare WCTC-grade discretionary system — pattern-recognition driven, time-ratio confirmed, sized aggressively when alignment occurs and dormant when it doesn't. The Dynamic Trading Master Course (current version V1, sold via DynamicTraders.com) packages the approach into self-paced lessons. Miner sits on the boundary between the classical Gann/Elliott school and the modern systematic championship cohort — he places against algorithmic competitors using a method most modern champions would call discretionary.
He is still publicly active through Dynamic Traders Group, present on LinkedIn under his own name, and one of the more reachable older WCTC competitors. For trading-tournaments.com, his profile matters because the multi-decade Gann/Elliott practitioner placing against modern algos in 2018-2023 is one of the cleanest validations of pre-2000 methodologies still working in current markets, and because his cross-division placements (Index Futures + Forex same year) are unusual in the modern championship.
