Biography
In 1990, after several years observing the decision-making strategies of traders such as Richard Dennis, Jim Rogers, Paul Tudor Jones and Tom Baldwin, Faulkner himself became a trader. His first trade in 1992 was a failure, though he closed the year at a profit. Three years later, Jack D. Schwager included a profile of Faulkner in The New Market Wizards: Conversations with America's Top Traders.

In the late 1990s, Faulkner moved to England. Along with other NLP trainers, he has modelled strategies for industries including rehabilitation, finance, medicine, sports, and bereavement.
