What sets me above the rest!
First, there are only actually a handful of quality trading educators out there and most are limited to only one asset class.
I really enjoy sharing my 47 years of experience in the markets. I was made Senior Trader at the age of 22, and for the last 36 years trading my own capital as well as acting as a market-maker for numerous exchanges in Europe, USA, and Asia across a very varied range of products. I have extensive experience in all asset classes, however crypto only for the past 4 or 5 years.
I am still as passionate about trading today as I was over 4 decades ago, and it only took two days all those years ago to get me hooked and I find it very satisfying taking individuals from zero to hero. Day one most look shocked but by day five they begin to feel like a trader.
Although I still trade regularly, over the past 8 to 10 years I have committed most of my time to training others by passing on my fundamental knowledge and trading skills. Along with trading and training I have also worked and consulted to major exchanges helping them with various projects.
A few years ago, I made the time to create my highly acclaimed e-book titled Master Trading. It is a textbook/reference book that is full of detail on all aspects of the markets and trading them. It is a colossal 338 pages and 117k words and it updated regularly to ensure it remains current. The updated version is free to all those that have previously purchased it and the 4th edition even covers COVID and the impact it has on out lives as well as the actions taken by governments and central banks to support the economy.
I provide a weekly article as a resident author/writer for The Armchair Trader as well providing articles for other sources such as magazines.
Something I offer which is unique, is Flexi-Courses. These are created bespoke to each individual as they are 1-o-1 courses and once we have discussed the depth of content to be included in the course, I calculate the number of days required. The customer can book this as a block, individual days or weeks to fit around their other commitments. My customers really appreciate this as it saves any disruption to their routine, but it also allows them to practice between sessions which really accelerates the learning process. Unlike many training companies that pass the training to guys with much less experience, I personally provide all the training. All courses and workshops are offered with a payment plan to spread the cost.
I recently added an accredited level 3 diploma course in Financial & Commodity Trading. This is a 4-week course of guided learning (again, it is possible to spread this out with a one-year time limit!) and 30-hours of additional practical trading. This course offers a deep dive into all the fundamentals that dictate price and trend, along with daily practical trading sessions using real-time data, combining the best of everything required to understand and trade any asset class.
Apart from the courses I frequently hold daily online practical workshops. These vary from day to day with subjects such as Trading for Beginners which is an introduction to trading to allow individuals to gauge if trading may something they would like to try as a career or income supplement. Others include technical analysis, risk management, options trading, trading techniques, trading crypto, and trading psychology.
For those short of time for a course (really!) I have produced over 30-hours of video content which can be purchased individually or the whole suite. Most have short quizzes that pop up to allow the viewer to assess their retention level.
Newsletter: News & Views
I also provide a daily newsletter that provides global news (filtered by me), my views and trades, plus chart levels for support and resistance.
Workshops – one day online practical workshops. Each one has a different theme including trading techniques, risk management, technical analysis, certain asset classes, trading psychology.
I also discuss what is currently impacting the markets and everyone gets to trade.
