Why This Trading Course?
There are an awful lot of trading courses out there. So why should you join this one? I've answered some of the more popular questions below, but if you have a question that I haven't covered please get in touch using the chat box.
Alternatively, if you would rather have a call direct with me to cover any questions you may have, you can book that by clicking below.
Why Is This Course Different?
The area of trading education has exploded over the years as social media – and the number of people wanting to find out about markets – has grown. In my experience, too much of this trading education is about selling the dream, without addressing the realities. Trading education seems to be mainly run by those who are good at the marketing – with very little experience of the actual trading.
My course is different for a few reasons. Firstly, I have been trading for more than a couple of decades now and went through probably similar challenges and frustrations to many of you. I have spent more time than I care to remember trying to find the perfect system, and not focusing on the things about becoming a successful trader that really matter.
I am very open about results and regularly show these on the livestreams I run on the YouTube channel. Trading is a marathon not a sprint – it is not the get rich quick scheme that too many of these “trading educators” try to portray.
Let’s not forget, more than 70% of people who trade lose money – it is not something that is easy for most of us. I do teach the trading set-ups I use in my course – but also spend a lot of time on the all-important topics of risk management; how to place stops sensibly; running profitable trades and the psychological challenges we have to deal with and change when we trade.
Is This Course Right For Me?
I have devised both the shorter- and medium-term courses to be applicable to traders of varying experience. You may have only just started trading and be overwhelmed with all the information available.
Or perhaps you have been trading for a few years and are still frustrated by the lack of consistent profits and find yourself flipping from one approach to another. You may even be a profitable trader, but feel like your trading could be stepped up a few levels.
Whichever of these you feel you are, the approaches I outline in The Trading Course should be able to help. In addition, of course there are the live webinar sessions where we all discuss in more detail how we feel our trading could be improved and put steps in place to make it happen.
What Does The Course Contain?
When I first launched the course in early 2021, I focused on a medium-term trading approach, which was definitely my preferred timeframe for trading. Of course, lots of people think trading is all about being very short-term, and most people lose. These two points are connected!
For those first attendees on the course, I said I would put together a separate course covering my more aggressive shorter-term approach and this was launched towards the end of 2022. With this approach, trades are held typically from one day to a week. By enrolling on the course, you get access to BOTH approaches and the monthly live webinar sessions that are run by me.
The medium-term course is made up of 11 pre-recorded videos. The shorter-term course is made up of 8 pre-recorded videos. Then there are also the live sessions, the WhatsApp group, and finally, you will have unlimited email support direct to me. I do not have all the answers but I have been trading for more than two decades so I can always offer my opinion.
How Much Money Do I Need To Trade?
I think this is never a question that can easily be answered as so much depends on your own personal circumstances and attitude to risk. However, one of the good things about the massive increase in companies available to trade with over the past ten years is the flexibility some give you when it comes to your trading size.
When I first started trading with a futures broker in the late 1990s, the initial deposit required by many brokers was as high as £20,000. Now of course you can open an account with many CFDs or spread bet broker from as low as you would like. As long as they give you the opportunity to trade small in the early stages then there is no reason why the approach I take on The Trading Course and with my own trading could not be carried out with a balance of just a few hundred pounds.
One of the major mistakes many traders use is a lack of attention to risk management - if you have a broker that lets you trade small size on a small account, you can still use a professional approach to risk control.
