Think Like an Investor, Act Like A Trader

Why do traders fail?

Lack of discipline
Failure to follow their trading plan
Poor money management

In other words, trading is a skill that needs to be learned

We are a Canadian company that offers an in-depth eight module course to novice and intermediate traders who want to learn about the fundamentals of trading. We focus on technical analysis within a framework of mind, method and money. The course is meant for the serious student of the markets and geared to the day and swing trader in equities, currencies, commodities, indices and bonds.

We want you to think like an investor, but act like a trader.

We use a tide, wave, ripple time frame approach to trading.

We teach the Hat Trick Trading System. It is a methodical step-by-step decision tree plan that helps the trader to not only decide if the bulls or bears are in charge, but also if you should buy or sell or wait.

The goal of our course is so that you can achieve a 70 per cent success rate in your trading. To strive for this, we ask that you prepare a simple, one-page trading plan once you’ve finished the course. We will review your plan and provide helpful advice.

My job is to teach you how to: execute a high probability trade (method) with emotional intelligence (mind) and strict money management (money). In short, risk control.

We bring Main Street and Bay Street knowledge, teaching and trading experience to the course.
