A Trader Ready For Live

One of the guys I have been working with for a while is just about to go live. He's the latest one amongst the ones I have been mentoring.

I gave him a detailed training plan and then I mentored him daily by email using screen shots. There was an occasional GoToMeeting.

On his side was an incredible amount of work. He really educated himself with replay and SIM trading, even reducing his working hours so he had enough time to SIM trade. He back tested and rewrote his trading plan (TP) until he had evolved it into what he needed. He kept annotated screenshots of his trades and recorded all the stats.

He did what was required and more. Now he is about to reap the benefits, he'll trade live while he keeps his job until he proves to himself that he can provide for his family from trading. It took him a year. The pic below is a typical week now.

This is what it takes to succeed. He's not the only one to have done this. I'm working with a few guys at the moment who have recently gone live and made it. I get a great amount of pleasure in their success. When I started this blog almost 500 posts ago, I said that I thought that most people could learn how to trade CP using a structured and back tested methodology, if they did the work and were properly capitalised. This proposition has proved to be true many times now.

All of you still on the road to CP can make it if you put in the work and develop the right mental attitude.
