Q: I have never traded before, is this course for me
This course is idea for you.
The course was first designed for the first time trader in mind, and covers everything from the basics ...
What is the stock market?, how does it work?, how do I set up an account?, how do I know what to buy, and when etc ...
It then goes into some actual examples, and detailed steps to get you up and running.
It then follows through with some more advanced strategies that you can learn at you own pace when you are ready.
Q: I've already been trading for a few years,
will I get anything new out of your course?
Absolutely. In fact, we have shown our course to some very experienced traders in the past, and have had some excellent feedback from them.
Even if you have been trading for 10 years or longer, there are still going to be things that you don't know, and as you know, it is an ever-learning education. Even if you pick up one or two new ideas out of my course, then the course would have paid for itself many times over.
Don't forget, the course is covered by a full 60 day money back guarantee policy.
If you take it and read it, but can't find anything new in there that you didn't already know, then I'll gladly refund your money.
You have nothing to loose by having a look.
Q: Trading sounds complicated,
How easy is you book to understand?
When I first sat down to write my course, I thought long and hard about who the end user was going to be (you).
I thought that more than likely it would be someone who had either never trader before, or who had, but only a few times.
I wrote this book aimed at that person.
I have tried to make it as easy as possible to understand and read.
I have made it light, and fun, and have used a lot of pictures and diagrams to make it as easy as possible.
One of the main feedback comments that I get from others is that they have found it very easy to understand.
Many people tell me that they had tried a few different courses, and books before they found mine,
and now can go back to those books and understand what they are talking about.
I guess I have achieved what I first set out to do.
Q: I have seen trading courses for thousands of dollars.
Why are you only selling yours for only $397?
I know the kind of courses that you are talking about - they are everywhere.
There are many people around Australia running money-making seminars, and courses, and supposedly teaching people how to make money trading the stock market.
These guys put on fancy shows across Australia (and fly everywhere, and stay at fancy hotels), and book large seminar venues, and have all of the glossy brochures, sales letters and giveaways. They dress to impress, and have all of the trimmings.
You go to one of these seminars, and get all excited about the prospect of making money, only to be told that if you want to join their "exclusive group", you will have to shell out $3,000 to maybe $5,000 or even more!
If you don't buy on the night of the seminar, then they will bombard you with sales calls, and more glossy brochures in the mail!
My question is this ...
Who's paying for all of that stuff?
Glossy brochures, advertsing, marketing, expensive venue hire and facility rooms don't come cheaply.
Then of course, if you have to employ sales staff, promoters, door people, ticket sellers, and of course
presenters that are prepared to give up their week nights to speak at seminars, then you need deep pockets.
Someone has to pay for all of this fancy stuff, and it's not going to be them! - At $3,000 to $5,000 a course, it doesn't take too many subscribers to pay for all of the costs.
My next question is this ...
Can you learn any more from paying $3,000 than what I can teach you for $397? - The answer is no.
I have been trading for 10 years. Most of these seminar speakers come and go overnight. Some may be good traders, some may simply be marketing guys trying to make a quick buck! - At the end of the day, I have had a number of my students tell me that
the stuff that I teach runs circles around this stuff, and is a fraction of the cost.
I don't have the overheads that these guys have. I don't rent huge fancy offices, I don't employ sales staff,
and won't call you to harrass you if you don't order my course. I don't send out glossy brochures, and I don't run seminars, so I am not looking to be reimbursed for airfares and accomodation!
I trade, and I love trading. This is my first and foremost passion. I can't be bothered working nights running seminars in the hope that I make a few bucks. I have an awesome lifestyle which is balanced between money, and free time. My time is important to me. I have been a successful stock market trader for a number of years, and
over the past 3 years have been teaching others.
My course is what it is - a course. It is not a $5,000 magic "in the box" formula, it is a realistic approach to making money as a stock market trader, based on sond principles that work.
I charge $397 for my course. This is both realistic, and affordable.
There is no hype, and no nonsense. I have low overheads, and pass these on to you. I don't expect you to pay my bills!
Q: How long will this course be available for?
There is only one of me, and I can only give so much of my time and energy to any one project.
I have several other things on the go as well. As I'm giving personal email support with this course,
I will soon get to a stage where I will have too many email's to respond to on a daily basis, so I will scale this business down
like I have in the past.
This could be in 6 months, or it could be in 6 weeks. I don't know at this stage.
Q: Will you still be around to answer your email's once you stop offering this course?
Yes. I will maintain my commitment to those people who have already purchased the course
Q: You are based in Australia - does your course work on all markets?
Yes, the trading stratagies that I use work on any market in the world.
You can apply the same strategies for trading Stocks, Options, CFD's, Forex and Futures.
You can trade them on the Australian market, the US markets, the UK markets, or anywhere in the world.
The strategies are based on technical analysis of stock charts, and using good money management strategies
to cut you losing trades, and maximize your winning trades. Therefore, the methods will work on any market in the world
Q: Can you trade CFD's or Options?
Yes, see question above. I go into quite a lot of detail about options trading.
I myself trade options and CFD's as well as stocks. I used to trade Forex a lot too, but not so much now.
Q: How much money do I need to start with?
I always tell people that they should start with nothing!
If you start with nothing, you've got nothing to loose. You need to learn how to trade, and you first start doing this by "paper trading", watching the market for a few days/weeks, and seeing how your pretend trades would have gone. If you lost, then you didn't loose any real money yet. If you win, then keep doing it. If you keep winning, then maybe it's time to put in some real money.
You will know when the time is right. Most people generally start small to get their feet wet. I myself started with $1,000.
Q: How much money can I make?
Good question - how long is a piece of string?
What you make will depend on a number of many different factors ...
How much you start with
How much you put on each trade
Which markets you are trading
Whether you are trading stocks outright or some leveraged instrument like Forex, Options, Futures, or CFD's. Using these instruments you can leverage your money significantly as you are only essentially paying for a very small percentage of the trade up front.
For example, trading CFD's you may only need to put up 1% to 5% of the whole trade. I did a trade last week where I bought $700,000 (thats right, nearly three quarters of a million dollars) of index CFD's. The actual trade was worth $700,000, but I only outlaid $7,000 of my own money (1%)
using this example, I have the same exposure to $700,000, so if the index fell by 1% then I would have lost my whole $7,000, but then if it moved up by 1%, then I would have doubled my $7,000 into $14,000. Fortunately for me, this trade went up not down!
So using these type of strategies, you don't need too much money, but you are taking much bigger risks. It's all relative.
Some brokers will allow you to set up you account with no money, some will require a minimum of $500 to $1,000.
Q: I'm really excited, how long before I can get started?
Everyone is different. I have had people buy my course and then I hear back from them in a few days time telling me that they have done their first trade!
Others may take a few weeks, and that's fine too. You learn at your own pace, and start when you feel ready.
Q: Do I need to know about computers to trade?
In order to trade using the strategies that I teach, we look at charts on computers.
The level of knowledge that you will require to do this is quite minimal. It is fairly basic stuff as far as
opening and closing a few charts. If you can surf the Internet, then I would say that you will be fine.
Q: If you are so successful as a stock trader,
then why are you selling stock trading courses?
This is probably the number one question that I get asked. And a very fair one too.
After all, it is logical. Someone who is making money on the stock market doesn't need to sell trading courses right?
There are a lot of "get rich quick" schemes out there, and a lot of con artists. Whenever we see something that looks good the alarm bells go off.
I think my
about page sums it up. Basically, I do it to keep active.
I used to think that staying at home and trading all day would be the ultimate lifestyle, until I did it some years ago.
Sure the money is great, but you eventually get quite bored sitting around the house all day. You need to do something.
I didn't ever want to go back to working for a boss again, so I knew that the only option for me was to start my own business - but doing what?
I wanted to do something that still allowed me to have plenty of free time, so I didn't want to be chained to an office or a shop.
I put together a home study course to teach others how to trade.
When I first put it together 3 years ago, it was only meant to be a little side-line business.
This little "side line" business has turned into a monster, and I have sold well in excess of 2,000 courses at $500 each ($1 million).
However, it's not just about the money for me. I could just keep going with this business, but I have decided to scale it down to free up more of my time.
There is no point having lots of money and no free time to enjoy it. No one has ever said on their death bed "gee I wish I had spent more time at the office".
I'm not on my death bed just yet (I'm still only 39), but I live life to the fullest. Success to me is a balance of money and time. I want to have both.
Selling a $397 home study course is not going to make anyone rich (except you when you buy it and apply the strategies!),
it is a fun marketing project for me, and I enjoy getting email's from people I have helped.
We all still need to do something. If this was not the case why is Bill Gates still working? - What about Richard Branson, Warren Buffett, and anyone else you can think of. These guys have plenty of money, yet aren't sitting around at home all day!
I'm the same - I'm not ready to sit around in my dressing gown all day just yet!
Q: I know people who have lost money in the stock market
They tell me that trading is very risky
Sometimes a little knowledge is worse than no knowledge at all.
If you start trading blindly without the right knowledge, then it can be very expensive.
if you just jump in feet first without the right training and understanding then you are likely to lose money, which will probably leave a very sour taste in your mouth, and put you off ever trading again. That would be a shame, as you will not know what it's like to actually make money on the stock market.
Don't let this happen to you. Get a good education before you start.
Q: I already work full time - How much time will I need to spend on trading?
This really depends on the level of trading that you want to do. Many of my past students work full time and only spend 1 hour or 2 each day trading.
This can be either before they start work, during their lunch break, or after work.
One of the good things about trading is that you can custom build your trading system around your lifestyle.
Some of my past students have also made enough money from trading to leave their jobs and trade full time.
Q: Can you guarantee results?
Obviously no one can. None of us know what is going to happen tomorrow. We can't control the market but we can control ourselves. We choose whether to trade or not, and how much money to place on each trade. We also control when we get into a trade, and when we decide to get out.
My course comes with a full 60 day "no questions asked satisfaction guarantee".
This is not based on just results, it's based on everything. I guarantee that you will love the course or I will give you a refund.
I guarantee that you will understand the course, and will be able to put the stuff into practice, or I'll give you a refund.
Most people selling stock market trading courses don't give a refund, or if they do, it's only for a few days. I give a full 2 months.
I have been running this course for 3 years. I have had excellent feedback over this time.
I know that you are going to love the course.
