One-on-one trading mentorship

It took me six years. You shouldn't need that long.

There's no magic system, and you can't follow someone else's trades — you're always too late, and what happens when they stop posting? Every trader has to build their own. I help you get there faster than I did.

Verified account analytics available on request. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

01What this is

Not signals. Not a Discord. Not my trades.

Your setup, not mine

My account size, schedule and temperament aren't yours. We find what already works when you trade well, then make it repeatable.

Your actual trades

Each week has a short homework exercise, and you send me two or three trades with notes. We work from your real decisions, not hypotheticals on a clean chart.

Risk before returns

Most traders don't lose because their entries are bad. They lose because nothing caps the downside. That gets fixed first.

An honest read

I've told people they aren't ready and sent them away. If eight weeks with me isn't what you need right now, I'd rather say so than take your money.

02The program

Eight weeks, in order.

01

Baseline

Your last ten trades, in detail. What you actually did, not what you meant to do. We establish where you really are.

02

Strategy audit

Which of your setups have positive expectancy and which just feel familiar. We cut down to one or two.

03

Risk architecture

Position sizing, daily max loss, stop placement from structure. Written down, no grey areas.

04

Execution

Entry triggers, exit management, and the asymmetry that kills most traders: winners capped by rule, losers running on feel.

05

Psychology

By now I've watched four weeks of your trading. This is where I name the patterns you can't see from inside them.

06

Live review

You trade your normal session, we debrief immediately. This is the one that usually resets everything.

07

Your system

Everything from weeks one to six, assembled into a document you own. Setups, rules, routine, metrics.

08

The road out

Where you started versus where you are. Ninety-day benchmarks based on process, not P&L. Then you run it yourself.

03Honest filter

Who this works for.

Good fit

  • One to four years in, still not consistent
  • Income that doesn't depend on your trading
  • You'll do the work between sessions
  • You want to be told what you're doing wrong

Wrong fit

  • You want trade alerts to copy
  • You're trading money you can't lose
  • You're looking for a guaranteed return
  • You've already decided you have it figured out
04About me

Six years, mostly the hard way.

I spent most of my career in tech, the last stretch of it as a CTO. Somewhere in there I started trading and figured it would be like everything else I'd learned — read enough, work hard enough, get good. It took almost six years before I was consistently profitable, and most of those years were the kind nobody posts about.

What finally worked wasn't a setup I found somewhere. It was building something around how I actually think and what I can actually stomach, then getting ruthless about risk. That's the part that took the longest and it's the part nobody was teaching.

I trade full time now. What I won't do is hand you my positions and call it mentorship — you'd always be late, and you'd be stuck the day I stop posting. The whole point is that you shouldn't need me six months from now. What I can do is help you find what's already working in your trading and make it repeatable, which is the only version of this that lasts.

05Where to start

Start with the free questionnaire.

Free · No commitment · No payment

Twelve questions about how you actually trade — your setup, your risk rules, why you think your winners win. Writing it down tends to make a few things obvious that are easy to miss when it's all in your head.

  1. 1You fill it out. Takes about fifteen minutes.
  2. 2I read it and write back with what I see in your trading.
  3. 3If I think I can help, we talk. If I don't, I'll say so and tell you what I'd do instead.

No payment, no card, nothing to cancel. I've turned people away who weren't ready — you'll get an honest answer either way. Prefer email? razorbackajtrader@gmail.com
