Jump Start Your Trading Results with a Trading Coach

By Mark Green

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.

What is a trading coach? A trading coach is someone that will help you get started in trading or if you already have experience, help improve your trading. They are experienced traders themselves with many years experience and can provide objective guidance on your situation and advice on how to improve your trading results. A trading coach can look at your trading results and review your trading plan, and spot areas that need improvement or give suggestions that you may not have thought about.

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.

Some trading coaches also offer a home study course combined with a number of private sessions. The idea is that you learn the basics on your own. You then get to the level of knowledge where you can start trading. You can then spend the time most effectively with a trading coach, as you will concentrate on those areas where you need help with actual trading.

You may have heard of 'trading rooms'. This is another option to learn from a trading coach. In a 'trading room' a trading coach will analyse the market, and provide their opinion of what is going on in the market. They will be able to advise if any trading signals are appearing and you are able to take the trades as the trading coach calls them. An advantage of this style of coaching is that you are able to ask questions in real time of the market conditions and get immediate feedback.

Before signing up with a trading coach, it is important to think about what areas you need improving in. You should have kept records of your past results to be able to show where you have been successful and where the losing trades have been. It could be that you need more help in technical analysis or following a trading strategy. If you are not consistent in your trading maybe your trading plan needs work. Some traders find the emotional side of trading difficult and coaches can help with this too. - 23218
