The Path to Becoming a Trading Coach
Through years of practice and a lot of trial and error, I developed my own principles and strategies, which I now share in my book and one-on-one coaching. My goal as a trading coach is always to bring out the best in my clients, so they can be among the 10% of traders who build wealth with a clear plan and do not lose money due to ignorance of risks. These are the points I focus on in my educational and coaching work:
- Creating an individual trading plan
- Strategies in line with the 12 principles from my book
- Risk understanding, risk calculation
- Portfolio approach (Value At Risk, correlations)
- Derivatives: Futures, Options/Option Warrants and Certificates
- Swing trading (passive over several days/weeks)
- Multi-asset approach - 70% technical / 30% fundamental
"I am convinced that anyone is capable of trading successfully through a structured approach – it’s not about luck, but about deliberate action."
