Learning how to trade the Market Makers Method requires a structured teaching and learning method

A trading method alone is not enough to make you into a successful trader. Even if it is the best trading method in the world, by itself a method can never make you a good trader.

The solution to learning how to trade is to find a sound trading method that can be proven in a live market.

If a trading method is sound it should be able to be demonstrated in a live market so that you can watch it work. (A live market is a market that is open, is trading and we can see live trading activity)

This is the only way you can have confidence in what you are learning and the only real way that you can avoid being deceived by the artful deception that is prevalent in this industry. No doubt if you have spent any time as a trader you will have already come across such deception and realise the damage this can do.

You will need to fully understand the theory behind the market makers method

This theory would have to consist of how the financial markets really work and how to trade such a market. Then there should be the supervised practice of the theory, up to the point of being a competent trader who can consistently trade with confidence with an overall positive profitable outcome.

This necessary confidence will come about when you see the successful trading method working in a live market. A trading mentor who is not afraid to demonstrate their trading skills in a live market with real money knows what they are talking about and knows what they are doing. Such a teacher you can have confidence in.

You need a supervised trading apprenticeship

If you practice the market makers method without competent supervision, or for that matter any financial markets trading system, even if it is the best in the world you will probably fail. This is because you will not know when you are misunderstanding it and you will not notice it when you miss important points.

When you are trained in an apprenticeship style you are trained to become competent by someone who is competent. Only a successful trader can teach someone trading. This means you must believe in the competence of your teacher. This means in order to learn easily you must believe that your teacher can teach you what you want to know. Uncertainty about the teachers’ competence makes the learning process very difficult.

There are only two ways to know for real that a teacher is competent. The first way is a demonstration of the method they are teaching in a live market with real money. The second way to know the teacher is competent is that when you get corrected by this competent teacher, your competence in trading demonstratively improves. The bottom line is that a competent teacher will be able to train you up to the point where you can produce trading profits and know you can produce these profits on a consistent basis regardless of market conditions.

There are four elements to learning how to trade

The four elements to learning to trade are; teacher, theory, practice, and practical application When looking at any trading method or trading course it is wise to evaluate them on this basis.

Your training will be based on four stages of learning.

Stage One
In the beginning the student is assumed to know nothing, it is also assumed that even if the student has some knowledge of trading they may be completely unaware of a deficiency in some area for prime importance. This is like not knowing about something we don’t know. (have a think about that last statement, it’s really important)

For any type of learning to take place the student must come to understand that they could be missing some information. If the student does not acknowledge this or does not come to an internal understanding of the lack, then moving to stage two cannot proceed. It stands to reason that unless one is willing to accept that they may have a knowledge deficit or that they may be unaware of something they are unaware of, they are highly unlikely to be open to learning new skills.

Stage Two
Once the student has accepted that there is a level of skill to be learned and that they are missing in some of those skills, the next step is where the student must come to the understanding that if they improve their skills then this will result in a higher performance level. It is a vital at this stage that the student is fully aware of the extent of the required knowledge that will need to be learned. It is at this level that the student makes the commitment to learn and practice their desired new skill.

Stage Three
The student needs to get to the level of understanding where they are able to perform the chosen task in a logical sequential order. The student needs to be able to do this without direct assistance. The skill level at this stage three is not an unconscious skill, that is the student will still need to consciously think through their actions, but would be competent enough at this stage to explain to another what they were doing, but they would not be competent to actually teach the skill to another person yet.

Stage Four
Practice, this is where you must put in the hours to build the skills at an unconscious level. It is only when you can perform a skill at an unconscious level that you can say you are truly trained and competent in that skill.

The sense of knowing

After a skill has become instinctual the natural progression of the mind is to forget the theory. Thinking about the theory would simply not be using the skill at an instinctual level. This is why some very good traders make the very worst teachers of trading. You will find some of these teachers maintaining the highest standards of integrity in their teaching. They will be willing to share with you openly everything they have learned and yet they fail in some way to convey to you the skills that you will require to succeed.
This failure is not down to you the student, but solely rests with the teacher having literally forgotten that which they have forgotten as they passed to the instinctual level of executing their trading skills.

You can be assured that over the years I have learned well how to hold this instinctual trading response at bay which then enables me to pass the skills to yourself in a structured and meaningful way. By following this path you will emerge over time with your own instinctual trading response, ensuring your trading success.

This level of training requires hard work and dedicated effort on both parties. If you are the type of individual who has a high quality work ethic and are willing to work, then we will make a powerful combination working together for your desired outcome.
