What makes a great Trader? 📈

I was a good trader, but not a great one and some of the difference was within my control and some wasn't.

Gut feel was my super power 💪 and I also loved risk, but I wasn't quite as smart as the big boys and perhaps my marriage to trading came when I was a bit too young. 👰

I might have been a bit more humble 🥧 at times and I could definitely have done with a tap on the shoulder to tell me I wasn't the best thing since Warbutons 🍞 circa 2008.

Overall I more than held my own, largely fulfilled my potential and left the market with nothing but happy memories and the feeling of a job well done. 😎

Todays video goes into more detail about what separates the best from the rest and I hope you enjoy!

Finish the Year With a Bang

Finish the Year With a Bang

Due to Xmas festivities and all that comes with them, people understandably wind down towards the end of the year but that can mean some big opportunities missed in trading.

There are often lots of P and L presents to be found under the tree in December and with a bit of luck from the weather Gods, that momentum often feeds straight into the first week of January.

So why not treat yourself to a gift that keeps giving this Xmas and lets smash into 2024 in style. (Please do remember that a coach is for life and not just for Xmas).

Put the same stuff in, get the same stuff out!

The most repeated and practical bit of guidance I have come across while coaching is that , "if your inputs remain the same, then so will you outputs"

So it stands to reason that if you are not particularly happy right now and you don't do anything differently, then you will stay not happy!

You could wait for a magic wand or bullet of you could grasp the bull by its horns and start making incremental changes today!

Getting off to a Good Start in Trading

Getting off to a good start in trading

Its always a good idea to begin a new career well, but in trading its a necessity.

You have managed to secure a seat at a desk and are almost within touching distance of the pot of gold, but one false move and you may have blown your chance for good .

In todays video I talk about throwing the rule book out of the window and why patience is very much a virtue.

P and L and Perspective

The world continues to leap from one disaster to another and there is no immediate end in sight. Hopefully when we will look back at this extremely difficult few years, we will have learned a lot and the world will be in a far better place.

Todays video discusses perspective and where trading sits in the mix and also why all this trouble is no coincidence. It's not to be enjoyed, but I hope you find it interesting anyway.

The Best Bits About Being a Trader

The best bits about being a trader!

This weekend I was lucky enough to be on a walkies weekend in the Swiss alps 🗻 with a group of traders past and present. There was a fair bit of market chat, some reminiscing and lots and lots of laughter. 🤣

It was a fabulous trip and rightly got me thinking about the best things that trading has given me.

Thanks to Adrian Tinsley, Richard Wilson, Simon Statman, Paul Buck and all the other boys for making it so special!

Enjoy the video!

Make sure your career trade is a good one!

Throughout my my time in trading I saw many careers stagnate and lots of others die completely as people made bad decisions based on incomplete information.

The people involved would never have traded that way, but when it came to one of the most important decisions of their lives, the usual discipline went out of the window and they made bad decisions. (I know first hand, because I was one of them!).

In todays video I talk about the reasons why and how I can help to make sure you don't fall into the same trap.
