The ups and downs of a relation, of an ended relation, of a new relation affects our emotional balance (even if a relatively short one.. for a short period of time). Have u noticed (like me) that it affects your trading and how do u deal with it? Stopping trading everytime there is a "change"...

Yeah I get the idea (I believe, even before your post Cornix ;) ). Now question is: how do you find them? (through recommendation was my guess..) Also I would tend to think that most "BS coaches" are more skilled at hiding the BS than what you suggest... LoL

Ok Surf. So, what do u think abt coaching?

Maybe the whole coaching thing is BS.. and maybe not... This thread alone won t make a case for either but let s try to keep as close to original topic as possible... Have never myself paid for any mentor/trading room/coach, but conceptually the coach is the one that most seem to make sense to...

Sports is just an analogy.. I don t want to dwell on it, but psychology plays a huge part in any sports... anyone can think of dozens of example regarding their favorite team/player etc Not only "physical", no... Also many sports are not played as teams (you mentioned tennis earlier) As for...

Thanks for sharing your experience londonkid. Yeah coaching is definitely a contentious topic. I am one of those who would tend to think option 2 si true: coaches don t need to be great traders, cos otherwise (unless bcos?.. it fits their personality of trying to..? help maybe.....) there would...

Interesting Handle123, it s not the 1st time I hear abt hypnosis, and its results in trading. Could you develop a bit? ("what is expensive must be good" is human, no matter the country... the whole point of luxury items in the first place. 200$ shirts have the same plastic buttons than 30$ ones...)

Is it worth it? Unless u have a very short trading holding time, it is very easy for users to copy your strategies with 30min delay, for FREE... Also account rep on chats are completely useless to explain to you how Zulu OWN statistics are calculated (such as ROI, MaxDD, NME...), unless of...

Ok Cornix. So what does that small % of traders do? Is that them who mostly can benefit from coaching?

U sound pretty sure of yourself dbphoenix.. am not sure why?... The sentence above abt "seeking failure" has been heard time and time again everywhere... Yet, is it truly true?.. or could it really be something else?... Re coaching & therapy, what is the difference for you? In layterms therapy...

My win rate and profit ratio say otherwise.. But I have noticed, for example, I have issues after great winning streaks (like most traders I guess...). This is psychological and hard to monitor/correct on one's (my?) own.. For example, after I reach +100% returns over a period of time <1year...

No, for sure. Coaching is abt correcting trading errors (which mostly come from the psychological side imo), as opposed to mentoring which is more abt correcting or even giving a winning trading method, as commented above.

Really? And when do u know if u r ready? Have you taken that leap yet?

Right Dbphoenix, after my explanation I think my post is clearer, and your coaching/mentor differentiation is useful to make sure we are all talking abt the same thing. Right, mentor is the guy who hires you for example at a bank, to train you to trade like him... "Mentor" is a typical word...

Thx. in general am not talking abt methodology, but coaching more as in the sense of improving your own trades (u already have a methodology) and reaching the next level (guess has more to do with psychological/discipline/setting targets etc). This would have to be done, I believe, on a long...

Did you find it valuable? Could you put the improvements on profits clearly to the coaching process? For those who found it valuable, did it get you several coaches to find one that really helped your PnL? Ever since I started trading, I likened it to football... where you would have to play a...

I don t see any profit ratio nor max drawdown (unrealized) calculations... 5million on a 1month "track record"??? Haha good luck

"Plymouth Herald".. i guess there is a reason why this story is not on The FT or The Guardian... "Investigative" journalism at its best...

I trade index only, (may look to short some hype names when I feel the index is rolling over..) but I could do week ends, mostly, eg this Saturday? 2 is a crowd, 3 is company :)

Please do. Use to work in HK myself, came back from Asia a few years ago. Fiscal is easy: you can t beat HK... Trade off I guess. Haha my French sounding id makes it quite hard not to stand out on an anglo saxon site.. Just like yours, Spanish.
