Hello Coughs,
If trading were ONLY about strategy and how well the strategy performs, then this would be a useful conversation.
But since performance goes way beyond strategy, and is moreso about the student, training, and the abilities they build, this really isn’t the right conversation for a host of reasons, such as;
-
I can’t keep track of my students. Not only is it impractical, but not really possible logisitcally considering the large numbers. It is up to them to share their results - I cannot make them.
-
It’s highly unlikely you’ll do what I do, so its not a proper frame of reference.
On top of it, who is to say you’ll do what my profitable students do? I have no idea what you’ll work with and what you won’t so its not an accurate reflection for you.
- I think wanting to know what numbers ‘[I]you could possibly make based on what my students and myself do[/I]’ is putting the cart before the horse.
Its chasing a [I]potential reality[/I] that is several steps ahead of the foundational steps you need to be taking - which begins by building the skills to trade consistently.
Imagine someone coming into a music school and asking ‘what kind of music pieces can I play if I study with you?’ or someone coming into a martial arts school asking ‘how many boards can I break if I train in your martial arts’, or someone coming into my yoga class and asking ‘what level of flexibility can I get if I take your classes?’
Do you think these would be an appropriate question coming from a potential student to a school you lead? My guess is not.
-
I certainly don’t want a student chasing my material because of the numbers. I want a student who will do the work, who is interested in my training approach, who will train hard and be focused on the process - not results. When process, technique and skills are focused on, results will come.
-
I have no idea about you, your psychological strengths/weaknesses, your level of discipline, what pairs, time frames, strategies, learning curve, ability to control risk, what risk parameters you will use, and what the market will be like.
So discussing numbers really isn’t something that will be accurate nor reflective of much.
I’m guessing there are a few other reasons, but working with only 1hr of sleep and I’m probably missing a few.
Hopefully though this gives an alternate perspective on the matter.
FYI - when I started…I never thought about ‘what kind of numbers and profits could I make from this.’ Being that I came from yoga/neuroscience, I had no frame of reference.
My focus was on learning the skills to trade consistently. And my attitude was ‘however long it takes is however long it takes’.
Ironically I took the same approach to yoga & meditation.
Food for thought.
Kind Regards,
Chris Capre
Out of curiosity do I need to do the advanced ichimoku course afterwards? I have no knowledge on the ichimoku what benefits will it have when added to your price action course? Would you say price action is enough? When would you recommend learning ichimoku and does it start from the basics?
