    I've been trading the Forex markets since 2004 and full time since 2010. My coaching is the result of 20 years of trading. I have made every single mistake you can possibly imagine. I have wiped out more accounts than I care to remember. I had my soul crushed, my confidence destroyed and my reason for being questioned. I’ve been through it all. This coaching is for the experienced Forex Trader who has put in some serious hours to make trading work for them, who has sacrificed family time, spent late nights and early mornings in front of the screen, yet still are not showing consistency in their trading results. It’s for the trader who has a pretty good idea of what they are looking at and can identify opportunities but for some reason, to be consistently profitable seems to evade them and they just can’t put their finger on the reason as to why. It’s for the trader who feels like they’ve tried all the strategies under the sun, had all the indicators on their charts at some point in the hope to find something that consistently works. It’s for the trader who keeps changing their strategy. It’s for the trader who does not have a process and simply uses the ‘show up and trade’ method. In other words, they open up the charts and start to look for opportunities they can trade immediately. They typically do not plan their trades and they also typically do not have a process they follow to identify opportunities. They do not do this because they simply do not know better. With my one-on-one coaching, you will get enough out of the first hour not to use me again for a while. I suggest you implement as much as you possibly can from what you've learned and come back only when you have areas you're struggling with. This is what I typically focus on in my coaching: - Neuro Associations (It's not a lack of discipline that causes you to do the things you know you should not do) - Process and planning - Identifying of high probability opportunities - Timing your entry to perfection every time - How to identify and avoid slow markets - How to calculate your profit potential before you enter a trade to make sure you get decent Risk/Reward trades - Live trading together based on what you've learned - Weekly feedback on the trades you took - Tweaks you need to make for the next trading week By the end of the coaching, you will be a consistently profitable trader.
