Thanks, D.T. Too many focus on making bundles of points every day but that short-term view can be hard to sustain. Being a pro and doing this for a living means being consistent week to week and month to month, rather than going crazy just because you had a single day where you didn’t make “quota”. It all evens out over time if you have built up your trading skills and emotional control.

I plan to whenever I find the time, Sid. Obviously the hands-on training comes first, but I will keep updates on the blog coming. In the near future I hope to actually start a student case study or two. Thanks for the comment!

You better believe I will take you up on that beer offer, Trevor! Haha. No Fullers or VB though, mate, unless it’s all we can get on the way to the MCG.

Hi Jack. The traders in the post have been in the program for about 2 months or so. We still have a bit more work to do before we reach the “next level” in their results, but overall their progress is excellent and very consistent. In terms of how much time these traders have put in so far, it differs greatly. Some have more experience so the transition has been quick, while others have put in dozens of hours of sim trading to get here. The actual time spent trading the markets for most of these guys is only a couple of hours per day though, so the workday commitment is pretty small.

Thanks, Ralph. I agree with you that too many people tend to focus on just one big day rather than trading as a whole. Some days are slow, some are decent, and some days are absolutely fantastic! What really matters is where you end up each week or month and as long as you can be consistent with that then you can do anything as a professional day trader. Of course, once you get to an elite level you can be a winner nearly every day, but that’s another story…
