What You Will Learn by Taking This Course
If you know my background you would know that I was one of the founders of a national financial advisory firm in Canada, a trader and portfolio manager offshore, a president and ceo of a quant research and software development company, a consultant to funds, sat on the board of directors of 3 top performing hedge funds, was a Sr. VP of a USA national brokerage firm running their quant research and hedge fund department, and launched in conjunction with the top online information company in the financial sector in the USA their best performing research letter, and that I started and ran as Managing Director a private trading firm offshore in the Cayman Islands that created top returns. If not, now you know.
While being a speaker I also consulted to firms and individuals. My fees were from $3000 to $10,000 per day depending on the trader or firm. I only did this when I was in private practice or acting as a speaker and lecturer. Writing this course came from a different motivation.
The main motivation for creating this course was to create a university level course in trading for my twin daughters so they could learn inside and out how I have accomplished the returns that I got in the past for themselves and hopefully learn the systems and strategies so they can do this for themselves in the future. This is also for potential traders and experienced trader alike who want to either learn and make a living trading or get better at their craft as they might learn a thing or ten from this course. Furthermore, I train a team of traders that I have a vested interest in and this is the exact course they are given to learn how to become professional traders.
This course will teach a skill and strategy that should serve all students of this course and give you a shot at getting good at trading. Regarding my kids, yes I want them to pursue their passions, but I also want them to have a skill that is their own which they can use to create exceptional financial security. These are the family recipes and I am sharing them with you and I am also using links to several websites and youtube videos by people who I believe provide good to outstanding value when it comes to teaching and learning trading.
For traders who get the privilege to study this course, you will garner all the same benefits.
So do the work.
Don't be mistaken, this is a high level like a masters level course and I didn't leave out anything that I thought was important to learn. I even link to several people who teach or have lessons online.
So, in effect, this course was created to train people to become master traders. This is one of my passions.
I like teaching people to become good traders. To be good, you need to learn good systems, study, be incredibly disciplined, and have the right mindset and sufficient capital. These are all things you can learn and earn. With the advent of the plethora of new trials based proprietary trading firms like Apex and Leeloo and Funded Trader and My Forex Funds and FTMO there is no shortage of capital for traders who can play their game and follow the rules.
This course will introduce you to the trading business. I hope that this course helps you become a star proprietary trader. If you are reading this I truly feel that you are lucky, and I say that with humility and all due respect as there is little available out their to teach you successful strategies on how to trade equities, futures, etfs, fx and options properly. There is a ton of garbage beautifully disguised but most of it is garbage.
Granted, there is a lot of content, a lot of material, many people selling their strategies and techniques online but very few who can prove that their strategy works over the long term. I have found a few who do and I respect them and would even buy their courses if I didn't know what I was doing. Most are nuance trading strategies though so there is a big if in the success rate coming out the other side of their teachings.
The difference with my strategy is that it is more mechanical based on statistics and probabilities. You can set them up and automate some of them. That is why I am confident that you can be successful with our strategies and techniques across many instruments and markets. In fact, the team of traders I mentioned above, are proving the strategies and systems that we teach in this course can be used to become professionals as several of them are considered professional traders now and are consistent and profitable. Boom!
Now if by chance my kids don't want to work as part of the family office,(fancy word for family trading business) that's fine, because by mastering this course they will have gained a skill that will help them achieve financial security for a lifetime on their own. They already trade and have been for several years in a way under my tutelage but I felt they needed to deep dive into the details of trading and creating and learning strategies that work. That's important to me. Once they gain further knowledge they will be able to live wherever they want in this world and create their own life and along the way earn a ton of valuable experience and build the most important resume of all, as the great and powerful Jesse Itzler would say, they can build "A Life Resume".
You are different, you are here because I am giving you the opportunity to learn a skill through this course.
These are my opinions of what worked for me.
To become a master trader, you must become a 'black belt' in trading on a short, medium, and long term trading basis. To understand the importance of this course, think of this for a minute. I have created this course, to train the next generation to steward a legacy, to gain financial security and create their own independence, to run a firm, to help forward legacies. Please understand the enormity of the intent and purpose of me putting pen to paper, cut and pasting of the charts, recording videos. And now, for other also powerful and in some cases simply altruistic reasons you are invited to participate and learn from this course as well. You should be paying at least $50,000 for this course. However, I am not charging you that and the people that have invited you to take part in this course are not charging you that either. I have my reasons.
This course is exclusive and it will remain so, "Here in lie, in the following more than 50 written lectures, the recipes for trading success".
Most online courses are taught by people who understand a subject to a point, they certainly haven't mastered it, and they know what they know and they don't know what they don't know and they pour on facts. This is like a blue belt which is a low level intermediate student in jiu jitsu teaching a class. They know what they know up to a point, but they sure as hell don't know what they don't know. Also, most schools and most courses are taught to simply memorize and regurgitate facts. Well guess what? If that worked then our schools would create an endless amount of powerhouse students and take over so many areas of science literature and mathematics and philosophy etc. That just doesn't happen so I have made this course to be more integrative. There is a method as I said above. Learn. Review. Practice. Get tutored with our super tutors which yes are also free. And then get coached which is also free. Then practice and then get in the game and go live.
This course will walk you through how to do everything step by step.
You need to do simulated trading, some paper trading, learn how to use software, then simulate trading in real time then complete and pass a competition to earn a funded account and at that point you can be on your way to becoming a professional trader.
GO FOR IT. Devour this course and if you do, and if you study your tail off to become a master then you are giving yourself a chance at becoming an outstanding trader. It's up to you. Each of us have our own journey. Few will do what it takes just like any business or pursuit or genre compared to the numbers that start out with good intentions. I expect thousands of people to take this course and become professionals.
Remember:
Trading is difficult. Apparently, approximately 90% of people who get involved in the markets have a losing experience. A few percent tread water. And approx. 2% make money. I don't know the exact numbers which is why I am saying approximations. In Europe brokerage firms have to publish the percentage of accounts of their clients that are making or losing money. I have yet to find one that is above 8% where accounts are reportedly in the money.
What is the difference in what this course is about and how I believe in teaching and how to learn. I understand the subject, I live the subject, and I have been more than decently successful in this very genre in private and institutional short, medium and long term trading and I have the papers to prove it. I've made some, and I've lost some too. I have made a huge amount of mistakes, and also understand how to fix them and how to be a successful trader.
ONCE AGAIN; LET ME BE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR.
There is no guarantee of future success, some will fail miserably, some will do well, there is no guarantee of anything and past performance is no guarantee of future success... but with focus and study and arming yourself with a good couple of strategies your chances of success increase by quite a margin.
The difference in my teaching or coaching is that mine is based on experience and sharing other peoples excellent teaching as well. I am going to share the information with you so that you can turn the experience and information into knowledge, and then turn the knowledge into insight, and then turn the insight into a recollection that you can act on and then hopefully in time you may develop some wisdom so that you can intrinsically deploy the information and skills that you have now trained your brain to utilize.
To use fighting as an analogy. In fighting you go through the motions, you learn moves, transitions, strategy, you shadow box, you slow practice, you learn what works and what doesn't for you and your body type and since someone is trying to take your head off or render a limb useless you learn counters and how to put it all together and you learn to slow down your brain so that you can process what is going on in front of you. If you have ever seen a street fight between a professional fighter and a goofball you'll understand what I mean...
The goofball is so hyped up, hyperventilating and then might even swing like a flailing idiot. The professional fighter, with no emotion, might create a quick angle and crack, pop goes the amateur. That is where we need to get you in trading and then once you are there, we will share with you our exoskeleton customized trading algorithm and custom indicator. Ok for the nerds, much of this course will also refer to piloting a plane. I like the analogies.
Second, I am a trader and I understand and enjoy coaching and teaching. I am not only a trader, but I am a trader with an excellent verifiable track record of creating returns in excess of 5% per month for years on end. I have years of annual returns in excess of 140%, 87%, and none that I had professionally attested to that were lower than 38% in a calendar year.
Most importantly, I follow a rules based system and a defined strategy and I will be teaching you the same system, the same strategy, the rule sets and you will even have access to the custom indicators and automated trading algorithms that we use. I will also be providing links to other teachers, other courses, many that are free lectures and some that are paid courses that if you want you can invest in them.
There is no other course available that I know of that provides all of the above. If there is, congratulations to them. I am also a trader that has experienced draw downs so I can share the good the bad and the ugly and along with the good like making $100,000 to $490,000 a month on the regular so myself and my daughters can wander the world. I have also lost as much mid 6 figures in a month. Poof. I am not proud of it but its a fact and I learned from it so much so that you will also.
Armed with the knowledge offered in this course one could either remain independent and trade for themselves or they could join a prop firm or get a job on a trade desk. Becoming a professional to me means having the skill and knowledge to make a living at trading.
Note: what I know, what I do, how I do it, is transferable. By transferable I mean it is something that you can learn the rules and systems to and mimic what I have done and also learn to use the indicators and auto traders that I use and do it for yourself. Most teaching or learning out there for trading is a crapshoot because most people teach nuanced trading techniques or strategies that are based on things they know and they see and they feel. Not on rules. Mine is rules based. Math based. Its a whole different ballgame so I know that you can learn it adopt it and deploy it.
