Private mentorship and advisory for serious traders

I work privately with a small number of discretionary traders, portfolio managers, and select teams. The focus is process, accountability, and professional standards. This is not a market call service and not a motivation product.

Weekly writing on trading and performance - Substack

You don’t need more noise. You need a better operating system.

Most serious traders are not stuck because they need more content.

They are stuck because they have pieces of a process, but not a real operating system. The reads may be there. The effort may be there. The ambition is usually there. But the structure is loose, the review is weak, the sizing is inconsistent, and there is no credible outside eye to call out what is actually leaking.
That is what this work is about.

Not platitudes. Not vague psychology. Not one more pile of market content.

Process. Accountability. Standards. Better decision-making under real conditions.

What traders typically get from working together

01

A real process instead of scattered habits and loose routines.

Most traders have pieces. Few have an operating system. We build one.

02

Better sizing so edge, conviction, and conditions are expressed more intelligently.

Stop staying too small when you should press and getting too big when the edge is thinner than you realize.

03

A review loop that produces actual learning instead of just more notes.

Journaling is not review. We build a diagnostic structure that surfaces what is working, what isn’t, and why.

04

A clearer view of what is real in performance, what is fragile, and where self-deception is creeping in.

Separate genuine edge from noise, luck, and favorable conditions that won’t repeat.

HOW IT WORKS

How it works

STEP 01

Apply

Fill out the application form. I review every application personally. Intro conversation

STEP 02

Intro conversation

If there looks to be a fit, we schedule a short call to understand your situation and decide whether the diagnostic is the right starting point.

STEP 03

Step 3: Diagnostic review — $1,500

Every relationship starts here. This is a structured audit of your trading operation.

What’s included:

Pre-work questionnaire
Requested materials: journal samples, review notes, equity curve or performance summary, description of your current process
Two to three working sessions over roughly two weeks
A written assessment with specific findings, priorities, and immediate next steps

The point is to identify what is real, what is weak, and what should change first.

STEP 04

Ongoing private mentorship — $2,500/mo

Fill out the application form. I review every application personally.
If there is fit after the diagnostic, ongoing work is available for a small number of clients. This is where we work on implementation, accountability, standards, and actual improvement over time.

What’s included:

Two 60-minute sessions per month
Async voice and text support between sessions
Direct feedback on execution, review, and process drift
Minimum commitment: 3 months

Intensive / PM / team advisory — from $4,500/mo

For higher-touch situations and bespoke scopes around process design, review standards, and trader development.

All work is confidential.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this coaching?

Not in the generic retail sense. The better description is private mentorship and advisory. The focus is process, accountability, standards, review, and performance development.

Do you give market calls or trade ideas?

No. This is not an alerts product and not a market-opinion subscription.

What happens during a diagnostic?

You complete pre-work, send over the requested materials, and we go through your operation in detail — how you source ideas, how you size, how you manage risk, and how you review. You receive a written assessment with specific findings, priorities, and immediate next steps.

What markets do you work across?

The work fits most naturally with discretionary traders across futures, equities, FX, and crypto. The common denominator is decision quality and performance process, not one specific asset class.

Can I work with you if I’m relatively early?

This is designed for traders with real screen time and genuine commitment. If you’re very early, the book is the better place to start. A future group format may also make more sense.

What happens after I apply?

If the application looks like a fit, you receive a follow-up email with next steps and a link to schedule a brief conversation. I review every application personally within a few business days.
