Having being successful as a trader, I've had the opportunity to coach many other interested traders along the way. One thing that I've learnt from teaching, and from trading in institutions is that anyone can become a trader. It's really all a matter of first removing all misconceptions about trading that they have, teaching them the simple techniques involving both fundamental and technical skills, and finally teaching them some basic mindsets that they need to have in order to be disciplined and consistent. Along the way, I've continually tried to simplify trading so that my students are able to pick it up more efficiently and that has led to the development of the checklist method which when followed closely will definitely help you trade profitably.
