Coaching

Occasionally we accept students for coaching in person at our Chicago office. The requirements for this program are strict and includes the following:

Minimum six months of full time trading.
Ample risk capital for your financial situation.
A spreadsheet with all trades for at least the prior six months - with reasons for entry and exit. This requirement demonstrates some level of discipline!
Your market analysis notes for each evening for the prior 3 months. Again, this requirement demonstrates some level of discipline.
A member of our service for at least 3 months. This requirement ensures you know the basics of our terminology and that you understand our methodology at some level.

We understand that each individual is unique so there is some flexibility in these requirements. If you have unique experiences that you feel substitutes for some of these requirements then feel free to contact us.

Please understand that this program (nor any other program for that matter) cannot guarantee that you will become a successful trader. Nor does it guarantee you the "secret keys to the kingdom". Trading is long, hard, intense work and this program will do nothing to mitigate that. It will, however, attempt to reinforce good habits, reduce the effects of bad habits and maybe teach a few new and unique tricks and techniques. In the process, it may substantially reduce the time it takes for you to become a successful trader.

Sample Schedule

Every trader that chooses to take part in this program is unique. Therefore, the schedule will be unique to the trader. However, here is a sample program:

Sunday afternoon: Trader arrives at our offices to setup workstation, laptops, test connectivity and, in general, prepare for getting started on Monday morning. This includes an evaluation of the markets. Expect to spend about 3 hours on this process.

Monday: Having trouble pulling the trigger? We'll provide a simple pattern that generates lots of intraday trades. You'll practice taking each trade in all markets to desensitize yourself to the process. Entering an exiting trades should be automatic - like driving a car. No big deal. Q&A session during lunch and joint market analysis after market close.

Tuesday: Hone tapereading skills. We'll provide a dashboard with 25 markets. Your job will be to identify certain patterns in certain markets based on our nightly analysis. You will also be looking for other patterns that may have nothing to do with our nightly analysis. When a pattern forms you will call the entry and then the exit. Overall, this will be an exercise in observation and focus. Frankly, this is how we spend most of our trading day - just observing. We will do this every day so by the end of the week you will be aware of RELATIONSHIPS between the markets and relaxed enough to pull the trigger on the trades. Q&A as we go.

Wednesday: Discuss a couple of core patterns and continue to hone tapereading skills by repeating Tuesday's exercise. Hopefully we would have made some trades and made some money over these two days off this exercise. After market close the trader will give a class to our chat room members about what he/she has learned so far.

Thursday: Trading plan review (or creation). Repeat the prior days' exercise.

Friday: Wrap up - answer remaining questions. Repeat the prior days' exercise.
