Trading Coaches – Learn and Profit From a Master
Same market, same system, different results? New traders often can’t understand how it can be. How can another trader using the same system be making great profits while he is just breaking even or even making a loss. The answer is often experience in the market and managing the trade after it has been opened. Only after trading for a while do many traders realise the skill involved in managing trades after they have been opened. A trading coach is someone that has years of experience in the market and can help you succeed more quickly in the market by sharing their experience and guiding you.
You may be wondering what exactly is a trading coach. A trading coach is someone with many years of experience trading the markets. Trading coaches will help other people or groups of people get started or improve their trading skills. They can look at where you are in your trading career and offer unbiased advice on how to improve. Often someone else looking over your trading results will see something that you could improve that is obvious to them but not you. Some people wonder why a successful trader would want to be a trading coach. Trading is a lonely business and some trading coaches gain a lot of satisfaction from helping and seeing other people achieve success in trading.
Trading coaches work privately or in groups. Obviously one on one sessions will be more expensive but you will get the full attention of the coach and advice specific to your situation. Private sessions can be done on the phone, via online chat such as Skype or in person, so it does not matter where the coach is located. Group sessions are often run over a number of weeks and although you do not get the full attention of the coach you do get the benefit of learning from the others in the group.
One trading coach I know offers coaching only after the traders have completed a home study course. The advantage of this is that the trader will go through all of the basic concepts and materials and build up a base level of knowledge. Once they have a good foundation, they can then work with the trading coach on the more advanced topics. In this way the time and money spent is more efficient.
Some group sessions meet in person, and others use online forums for questions and answers. Recently online ‘trading rooms’ have become popular for trading coaching. In a trading room, the coach uses software that allows the group to see the coach’s screen and allow the group to ask questions and then hear the answer as the coach answers the questions in real time. Often the coach will be analyzing a live forex or stock market, and this gives the group a chance to understand the thought process of the coach and a chance to ask questions.
There are many areas that a trading coach can help with. It may be that your trading plan needs work. You may need assistance in technical analysis to improve your trade selection. It could be that you are able to select good trades but then are not able to manage them to extract the most profit from them. Regardless of the area, if you are able to identify where you need help, you will be able to get the most out of a coach.
