SERVICES

As a consultant, I'm here to help you. What are the challenges you're facing? Are you new to trading? Are you trading full-time, part-time, or just considering getting into it? Do you have technical questions? Fundamental questions (not my focus or strong-point)? Do you need ideas, or would you like someone to bounce ideas off of? Do you need help preparing or reviewing your daily trades? These are just some of the many things we can discuss. I've listed some more specific ideas below as suggested service packages.

Getting Started

The real straight and narrow about what it takes to get started as a trader, and how difficult it really is. Suggestions on what to focus on and how to identify classic problems inherent to the paradox of trading and being a professional trader. The psychology of the markets and how to understand the use of patience in your goals and efforts. Examples of some trade setups and different indicators you may want to explore. (Suggested 3 hour session)

Daily preparation

Review of scenarios and discussion of the potential price action for the day. Identification of market types and volatility changes to try to minimize loss and maximize winning trades. Setting expectations surrounding news events and creation of what-if scenarios to prepare yourself in advance of what you see in price movement. (Suggested 15-30 minute morning session)

Intraday Analysis

Review of the day's trading action so far and ideas about what to expect in the rest of the morning or into the afternoon time period. Again, what-if scenarios are important to practice, along with analysis of Elliott Wave Theory, ATR fulfillment, market breadth, and longer time-frame support and resistance levels. (Suggested 15-30 minute mid-morning or lunch session)

Daily Review

Reflection of the trading day's price action, interesting market levels and patterns, timing of reversals, and longer term chart patterns in anticipation of what might come tomorrow. Also a time to analyze your trading performance when you're not in the heat of the moment. What can we learn from today and how can we apply these lessons in the future? (Suggested 1 hour session)

Psychological Review

Review of trades entered, trades missed, and trade exits, along with the psychological and emotional feelings surrounding those trades. Identification of physical warnings that may help you realize when you've entered into a highly emotional and thought-driven mindset, which can lead to poor and costly decisions and behaviors. (Suggested 30 minute session)

Trading Plans

Trading as a business requires careful planning and a cautious and specific approach. The markets can be rather dangerous and you should know what you want to do in the markets, so that you can evaluate whether or not it's working. Would you go into business without having a Business Plan? Neither should you trade without a Trading Plan. I can help develop, review, edit, and refine your plan so you can feel confident in your approach. (Suggested 2-6 hour plus session)
