Trader Development Workshop - Objectives

The Trader Development Workshop is designed to help both new and experienced traders with the challenging process of designing an effective Trading Plan that fits the Individual. 

  • If you have tried trading, only to become frustrated with inconsistent results.
  • If you desire to write your own trading plan, but have no idea where to start.
  • If you have an idea for a trading strategy, but do not know how to evaluate its merits, nor how to turn it into a trading system.
  • If you have a trading system, but you can not seem to stick to your own rules.
  • If your trading records show that you tend to exit winning trades far too early, and hang onto losers too long, resulting in small winners and large losses.
  • If you have a profitable trading system and track record, but want to become more efficient and improve your performance.

Then this Workshop can help you.

“After my first week back from the workshop I could not be happier.  I took your words to heart and have been following my defined steps to move towards a complete trading plan and better knowledge of my indicators. I have not placed one trade this week so I could focus entirely on learning. ... I must say this week has been extraordinary for my learning.   The indicator process has opened up many characteristics that I've never seen before.  So far they appear to be important observations that I can't believe I didn't pick up on before. On top of that, knowing I'm progressing towards a complete trading plan has me very focused and excited about my progress. I had to take a few minutes and tell you THANK YOU. “ - Matt

 

 CJ, I can’t thank you enough for the things you have taught me. The last few months it has really come together. My fishing has improved so much I should never go hungry again. - wdc
