FAQ
-
What makes you different as a coach?While most other coaches cannot look back on a career with a financial institution at a leading banking location, I gained substantial experience in the financial markets through positions in the area of private banking. Among other assets, futures were an optional part of the portfolio allocation giving clients the opportunity to participate in the derivative market through the bank's active trading desk. Being in touch with the financial markets all day, I acquired a profound understanding of how big institutions trade the global markets. An extensive futures trading mentoring during that time taught key elements of the trading business preparing for the world at a trading desk. Having received an intense mentoring myself on a level most people do not have access to, my goal is to deliver that knowledge to interested and motivated people. In the meanwhile, I am trading independently for 5+ years with a summarised experience in the financial markets of 15+ years.
-
Will I receive support throughout my learning journey?I've dedicated the past five years to providing comprehensive coaching and mentorship. To focus on my personal and professional growth, I have taken on new business ventures that require my full attention. While I initially considered ending this mentoring entirely, the valuable feedback from my students inspired me to keep the existing content accessible. I'm no longer actively coaching within the Discord server but the video course and Discord server remain available. These platforms offer a wealth of resources, including trade reviews, group exercises, feedback videos and webinars. Nevertheless, I continue to offer one-on-one coaching sessions. These personalised sessions provide an opportunity to discuss your progress, address questions, and refine your trading strategy.
-
Is any foreknowledge required when entering the mentoring?There is no foreknowledge required - in most cases it even illustrates the better basis since most available content in the internet is simply wrong. Learning an approach that institutional traders apply differs from the regular retail investor courses.
-
Can I only trade the futures markets?This mentoring program is based on trading the futures markets but the underlying principles of how financial markets and price action function are consistent across all markets. Therefore, the strategies taught can be applied to any other market or instrument like stocks, ETFs or cryptocurrencies for example.
-
Which markets do you trade?When I was active in the futures markets on a daily basis, I had four markets on my personal watchlist - the S&P500 (ES), gold (GC), crude oil (CL) and the EUR/USD (6E) currency pair. Those high liquidity markets and their individual characteristics allowed smooth execution and met my personal trading preferences. In the meanwhile, however, I am also active in other business endeavours and rarely have time to trade the markets on a daily basis. Therefore, stocks, ETFs and options became my preferred instruments today.
-
Will I sit in front my screens the entire day?In the very beginning the more experience you can collect the better it is - apply and internalise the taught principles. Later, once the own approach has been developed trading hours can be reduced significantly focusing on one trading session - e.g. US morning session only. Being in front of the screens all day can then even be considered counter productive and it is highly recommended to also spend time with other things away from trading to mentally keep a healthy balance.
-
What equipment do I need for the mentoring?A trading platform that supports illustrating order flow trading tools such as the market profile, volume profile and footprint charts is required. Further, traders need a data feed to receive real-time data from the exchanges. The mentoring is based on Sierra Chart - recommended is service package 11 with Denali as an integrated data feed. Alternatively, ATAS, NinjaTrader or a similar trading platform is fine to use as well. Moreover, two 26'' or 28'' screens are recommended to have a good overview. The absolute minimum, however, should be at least one larger screen.
-
I do not have sufficient trading capital - can I still start with day trading?Yes, there are several capital providers available providing successful traders the required capital. Leeloo and OneUp Trader are popular ones offering different account options at fair conditions.
