My name is Dionne Jackson and I am a Juilliard trained musician, a Fulbright Scholar, and a First Prize recipient from the Paris Conservatory of Music. In 2020, after 20 years as a professional flutist with the Chicago Lyric Opera, the opera shut down and suddenly we were furloughed without pay due to the Covid pandemic.  I soon realized that if I didn't find a new income stream, my family would lose our home and I would no longer be able to keep two of my four children in college. 

 

Needing to use my time off wisely, I began studying the financial markets intensely.  I completed all the online courses with famed futures expert Mr. Jim Dalton.  After hearing my story about single parenting four children and the cancellation of the 2020 Lyric Opera season, he made a very generous offer to coach me at no cost.  Mr. Dalton already had a successful former musician named Peter Reznicek obtain huge success as a trader.  We soon discovered that being a professional musician and reading charts in the financial markets have many similarities.  Because of my lifelong musical training, I can quickly recognize patterns as they develop and create substantial profits from them.  As it requires a significant amount of capital to trade, I am fortunate that some of my closest friends and family members were willing to invest capital so I could open my own brokerage account.  My long term goals for my fund include two philanthropic initiatives:  offering scholarships to musicians and artists, and offering financial assistance to single moms in need.  These initiatives are close to my heart.  It was only through scholarships and grants that I was able to attend The Juilliard School, The Paris Conservatory, and world renowned music festivals such as the Tanglewood Music Center.  Without these scholarship opportunities, I could have never succeeded in my musical career.

 

My long terms goals for Harmonic Trading LLC include paying it forward by sharing a portion of profits from trading while educating the younger generation about the importance of investing early and consistently to create future financial security.
