OK guys, here’s an update. First of all, we’ve had a tremendous response to the free video trader training course. I am going to give it a few more days, to allow those, that haven’t had a chance to put their name down for it, the chance to do so. As I’ve said in one of the other posts from yesterday, the more people that we have involved in this the better.

Now, I’ve had a handful of emails asking me how all this is going to work. First, of all, I don’t think this has been done before. Where the training is organic, in terms of we start out with an initial agenda, which will evolve due to the requirements of those that are involved. This is why it’s incredibly important that you interact, become a part of this. It’s pointless being passive, you will get more from being part of it all.

The other thing I wanted to point out and something which will highlight, why trading and the training of traders is such a hard task (for both of us), but an important one. Each of us are different, we all know that of course, we all see things differently, all have differing hopes, aspirations and expectations. We all have different backgrounds, different classes, different educations and all hail from different parts of the world….. so what am I saying? Well apart from the fact that we’re all different, the point I am labouring here, is that due to all of these factors, we will understand, apply and therefore trade the same information differently. You can give two traders, the same information, the same charts and the same techniques, with the same account and limits – they will both trade differently!

So why do we all trade differently, when we all have the same information, why does trader A to better than trader B, when they both share the same skill sets, information and work with the same starting pot? The reason being, is that trading is more about you as a person and the pressures that it places on you. Trading will find out your weaknesses and your strengths, it tests your will, your belief in yourself and your judgement – all the time.

How can this video trader training work for you?

In a few days, I will look over the responses, after giving the rest of you guys some time to get involved. I will then look for a common theme, as to what the ‘biggest’ issues are that you guys are facing. What I will then do is a series of videos, that will look to highlight the issues further, examine them and then address them.

Not all things to all men (women) at first. What you need to understand though, is that what I provide, may in fact not work for you. This is where I need you to tell me. You see, I may explain how one technique works, some of you will understand it, but others may not. What I will then do, is produce another video another example, showing the techniques / methods in a different light.

Here’s the really great part. When we’ve covered one issue, I will then move on to the next; recording a video, looking at the issues and addressing and looking to solve the problem. Again, working with you guys, helping you all understand that section, before we all move on forward to the next one.

I will be creating a contact list, which you can join. So that I can keep you updated immediately as I post or think of anything. I will post up a link to that page soon.

How long will all this last? I am not sure. Could be a few weeks to a few months. At the end of it, we will have a good amount of content which I will then bundle up for you guys for your own personal use, along with a few other goodies.

To clarify;

1 – waiting a few more days to make sure those that want to be involved are.

2 – I will be creating a contact list of those involved, so that I can keep in touch with you directly.

3 – After looking at all your responses, I will look to see what the main issues are. No doubt there will be more than one.

4 – I will then do a videos for the first issue and then looking for your feedback on that video.

5 – If there are some of you that don’t ‘get’ the first video, I will provide further videos on the same issue, till we have everyone working with those techniques.

6 – 4&5 will be a cyclical process, as we continually evolve and grow through your involvement.

7 – When we’ve sorted out the first issue, we will move onto the next and do the same again, as we did in 4 & 5.

8 – As soon as I have addressed all the issues we’ve highlighted from the first 3 questions I asked you, and predominantly the 3rd question. I will then ask you guys to provide me with further problems that you maybe facing.

9 – Final note; the techniques that I will be covering will be analysis only. The scale would be enormous, if I were to cover FX, emini etc. issues within this as well. From experience, ALL issues related to trading are based on the initial analysis, not from the product traded. Providing we can get the analysis right, it won’t matter what we’re trading.
