F.A.Q

If you’re so good at trading, why are you teaching?

I see this all the time in forums. Trading seems to be the only business in the world (that I know of) in which the public are totally skeptical of anyone who teaches, or shares their methods. Perhaps that is very much deserved, given all the rubbish and the hype that exists in the marketplace. It’s unfortunate though. The fact is that there is some real quality information out there amongst the rubbish. Hopefully I can help provide some quality. Not all trading educators are a fake. Yes, I’m sure many are – I know a few educators personally and seriously doubt some of them trade. However there are others who do trade.

And yes,  it does make me money. Well, at least that’s the plan. I subscribe to the theory of multiple streams of income. I suggest you seriously research this topic as well. Trading should not be your only source of income. Build other income streams – both active and passive.

There is so much rubbish on the internet? How can I trust you?

Easy answer – don’t trust me. In fact, don’t trust any trading educator, until they’ve proven themselves worthy of trust.

Learn as much as you can from the site and from my newsletter, but don’t put anything into use in a live market until you’ve thoroughly tested it in a demo setting and proven to yourself that it works for you. Take what you like from my teachings, and discard the rest. The interesting thing with trading is that what works for me won’t necessarily work for you; but that’s cool. We all trade differently.

That being said, I’d like to think that the fact that my site is not filled with hype or outrageous promises, allows me to start off with a little credibility. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say that trading is possibly going to be the hardest thing you’ve ever tried in your life, and you’ll probably fail. Only a small minority have the patience, courage and determination required to make it.

Refer to the SiteMap for an archive of previous articles and videos to confirm the quality of work meets your standards, and the content meets your needs.

Can you teach me to trade?

If you’re after one-on-one coaching, yes. My course is at YSTC Trading with Price Action Volume and Volume Profile Tools.

I can point you in the right direction. Success or failure though, is up to you.

An important factor is whether or not you relate to both my style of teaching and my style of trading. Read some of my course articles they are free to self learn here, watch some of my videos. If you like the way I work and if my trading style seems compatible with yours, then take the course. If you can’t understand my accent or if I speak too quickly, it’s probably not going to work. If your underlying beliefs about how markets operate are different from mine, then once again you may be better seeking guidance elsewhere.

Can you please set up a live trading room?

This is unlikely to ever happen. Firstly, my trading environment is a calm, relaxing environment. Usually with some nice background meditation-style music (although sometimes when I’m in a different mood I’ll trade to Radiohead, cranked up nice and loud). The last thing I imagine I’ll ever want is to be trading with the distractions that come from a live trading room – questions from participants, negativity from the one or two people who seem to be always present in these rooms, disputing or second guessing setups or trade entry or management calls. Not to mention the distraction to my trading psychology due to the fact that I’d feel I had to make a profit that session. Trading rooms are not conducive to good trading, at least not for me.

Secondly, it’d be really boring. I can sit for two hours waiting for the right setup.

But then you never know what the future may bring. While I am not personally a fan of trading rooms, I do recognize that live trading is a great learning environment. So I will be looking for ways in future to take advantage of these benefits. Perhaps a live classroom or online setting, where you trade and I provide coaching???? Don’t know! More thought required here.

Do you do speaking engagements?

Sorry – not at the moment. My current priorities are my family, and my own trading and other personal interests. When my lifestyle changes and my kids have grown up, maybe then I’ll have time to do the speaking or trading expo circuit.

Why so much information for free? Are you going to be charging for services later?

I intend to continue to offer quality information to all readers, regardless of whether they become paying customers or clients, or not.

The free information allows us to build a relationship; allows you to confirm the quality of my writing and teaching; and to confirm whether or not my style of teaching and trading suit your needs. If you then decide to seek further information through the paid products or courses, that’s great. If not, that’s fine as well. I hope the free information continues to provide you with great value and assists you on your trader development journey.

Are you just going to be promoting all the latest forex courses, ebooks or robots, like every other internet marketer?

I hope not. If I ever start crossing the boundary, let me know & I’ll quit this business.

The site does have a small number of Amazon ads (providing a small contribution for all my time). Ignore them if you don’t like that.

The resources page and my email newsletter will promote various products and resources. However these are currently (and will always be) products, courses or resources which I either use myself and have found to be of value, or which are used and recommended by others who I trust. There are very few products that meet this standard.
You will NOT find me joining the ranks of the internet marketers (most of who don’t trade) in flooding your inbox with a never-ending stream of ‘last system you’ll ever need’ trading ebooks, courses or robots. That’s not my game.
