Trader Coaching
Trader Coaching differs from our consulting services in that it addresses the individual trader or execution specialist for a firm. The greatest traders in history, from Jesse Livermore to Jim Simons, are all distinguished by the fact that they were not too proud to ask for help at some point. Who is our trader coaching for? In short, anyone who makes money by pushing the button to buy or sell and has even the tiniest sliver of decision-making discretion.
Trader coaching is charged by the hour, and in most instances can be done virtually. Another important difference from our consulting services is that trader coaching usually revolves around making your current approach to the market, instead of ours, better.

While we are not licensed counselors, much of trading psychology is aimed at taking super-practical steps to eliminate human error and self-sabotage. Chronic disorganization, hopping from strategy to strategy, risk aversion- we have seen it all, and it can be fixed. Trading can be a lonely enterprise- sometimes it helps just to have someone who understands to lean on and talk to.
Other coaching topics include honing your data, market window and execution path, shoring up your strategy, instituting proper strategy testing, the path to automation,
