I have made 100% profits early this year already. It normally takes me a full 12 months to manage that feat. This year, 2025, I did it in 2 and a half months. Just to stress what that means, I am saying that I made my entire yearly target income for 2025 before St. Patrick’s Day. It is past the middle of April as I write this article, and I am not that far from my second 100% gain of the year. That would be 2026’s minimum income taken care of, and I can start working on 2027. This is like your employer paying you your entire yearly salary before the end of the first quarter, then pretty much doing it again immediately, without asking for anything in return. You are allowed to walk away, no harm, no foul, keep the money.
Does this mean that I am a trading genius? No. Does it mean that I am good at predicting? Also, no. It does mean 2 things. One, I am very good at following my process without deviation or distraction. Second, the market volatility is tremendous right now, allowing anyone who has even a slight inkling of how the market works to make a killing. I’m not special, I’m just prepared. And I have enough capital to put in play. Mark my words, people will be lining up in a year, when I formally publish my results, asking to be taught, or even to copy my trades. And they will be sorely disappointed. I can’t guarantee that market conditions will be as generous in a year. In fact, I can almost guarantee that they won’t be. These opportunities, or catastrophes, depending on who’s doing the telling, happen about once every ten years. You can’t force them. They happen when they happen. All you can do is be ready for them when they inevitably pop up. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t learn this lifechanging skill whenever you can, just that your mileage may vary, depending on the market cycle we’re in.
If you want to take advantage of this once in a decade market, the time is now. Not in a week, not in a month, not in a year. Start now and start the right way. I no longer teach groups. It just didn’t work. Oh, sure, everyone needs the basics and that is certainly best done in a group setting or even self-paced recordings. Or, heck, read the book. I am going to insist you read and agree with the basic premises, anyway, so you might as well get a head start.
But, past those basics, I have realized that every failing trader fails in unique and different ways, and almost every good trader plateaus at some point, and just can’t get to great on their own. That’s where I come in. I can teach you to trade successfully. Then, I teach you to do that in any market, up, down, or sideways. Then, I teach you to do it better. This is where it requires one on one. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all trick to trading. In fact, there are no tricks. It’s usually boring. You want it to be boring. It’s the equivalent of digging out a gram of gold every single day, and maybe a week or two here and there of not even digging that out, but you still have to do it every day.
Then, and you never know when it will happen, or even if it will happen, but one day you find 10 kilos of gold in one go. And after that you go back to the 1 gram a day for a while and being bored. That’s the only way it works, if you’re looking for consistency and permanence. The 1 gram a day actually keeps you going and may even pay for all your expenses. But the 10 kilos multiply your account, allowing you to dig out more than a gram a day going forward, and may even put you in a bigger house. After which you keep doing exactly the same, but at a slightly faster rate, 1.5 grams a day. All while waiting for the next 10 kilo day.
The only way to teach this with success is to make sure everyone has the basics and then teach them how to trade, step by boring step, starting out with the utmost simplicity, and only adding complexity when the student has mastered everything before that. That’s what I discovered. Since then, my success rate is effectively 100%. The caveat is that I turn away anyone I don’t think will succeed. If I try to do a brain dump of everything I know and how I operate to even a very good trader, we will both fail. You have to walk before you can run.
One of the simplest ways to start trading is by using a trading system that’s already proven to work. I’ll give it to you for free. It assumes that you have sufficient trading capital (the number 1 reason I turn people away, they have no money) and that you are capable of following simple instructions, regardless of whether you like them or not (the second reason I turn people away, they just don’t have the right psychology, or the discipline, or whatever you want to call it). If you have the capital and the mindset, I can make a successful trader out of you in a couple of weeks, just by making sure you have the basics, and giving you a system to follow. After that, I can make you better, by giving you complexity in a way that matches your trading personality, and at the right pace. That’s going to look different in each case, depending on the person at the receiving end of the training.
If you believe you can become rich quickly with your $100 account, I’m not the right teacher for you.
If you think successful trading relies on being able to predict market movements, I’m not the right teacher for you.
If you think great traders rely on gimmicks or secret methods, I’m not the right teacher for you.
Please do not waste your time, or mine, if you fall into any of the above categories. Otherwise, and assuming you are interested in making money consistently, in any kind of market, while taking only small, measured risks, get in touch. “I’ll learn you”, as Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer famously said.
Ten years ago, I quit a 6-figure salary job, to the bewilderment and disapproval of everyone in my family, and quite a few friends. They just couldn’t fathom it. What was I going to do for money? I wasn’t rich, was I? What was I going to retire on?
What they didn’t see, nor did I explain, was that I only quit after 3 straight years of my trading profits exceeding my salary, and letting those profits compound, while I lived off my salary. With the added advantage that my trading took (back then) a couple of hours a day, instead of the 10+ hours my job required. Also, no commute, no wearing suits and ties, no buying lunch at crappy restaurants, and certainly, no stress dealing with irate customers or moronic bosses. All my family and friends, including some in their late seventies, are still working 8 or more hours a day and barely surviving. I haven’t worked in 10 years, and I earn more now than when I “retired”. Do you want that? Get in touch. Oh, and it takes me maybe 15 minutes a day, nowadays, not 2 hours.
I said I’d give you a trading system for free, didn’t I? It will explain why there’s turtles all the way down at the beginning of this post, too. Well, it will cost you a few bucks, but I don’t make any money off of it, so I consider it free. Remember, though, you have no money? Don’t even bother. You can’t follow a set of instructions as if they were tablets brought down from Sinai? Also, don’t bother. If you have the money and the discipline, though, read this. It will, at the least, get you to the gram a day stage. That’s more than half the battle, right there, the rest is just continuous improvement.
They didn’t become overnight millionaires, by the way, but they certainly did become millionaires. I guess if they didn’t put “overnight” on the cover, the publisher figured it wouldn’t sell. Stupid. But just ignore that. Everything else is valid. And the concepts are grade school simple. If you learn better with a teacher, or if you’re looking for that continuous improvement, contact me.
