When it comes to teaching and advising my subscribers, my top goal is simple…
I want to keep you in the game.
Because if you don’t protect your account, take reckless trades, or ignore risk, it’s only a matter of time before you blow up…
And if you blow up, you miss out on the opportunity to truly grow.
I’m 100% committed to my traders…
I flew a red-eye back from California (I live in Michigan) on Tuesday night and still showed up early Wednesday morning for my Pre-Market Prep session.
Still going after about 28 hours of no sleep, yes, I was drowsy, but I was no less excited to show my attendees all the great setups waiting for us yesterday.
If you want to see these patterns for yourself and learn how to trade them, sign up for my Pre-Market Prep right here.
And if you haven’t already heard about my recently-discovered Monday Setup, listen up!
This thing mysteriously shows up only on that day, and it can move fast!
I’m talking about moves that could deliver more in one morning than most people see in a month!
And for a limited time, we’re offering the Monday Setup for just $7!
That’s an 85% discount off the regular price.
This was originally a sale just for Memorial Day, but the Setup became so popular that we kept the deal going.
It won’t be around forever though…
So, check out the Monday Setup ASAP in my video tutorial below.
To be clear, I’m not here to tell anyone what to do… You can do whatever you want.
My priority is to guide you down the smartest path.
Look, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my many years of trading. Hey, I made no money during my first three years!
But I’ve learned from them and have perfected my strategy over time, which is why I think I’m a great fit for my job.
The bottom line is that if you don’t have someone to help you out, me or otherwise, you’re facing an uphill battle.
Trading is one of the most rewarding, challenging, and yes, sometimes loneliest paths you can choose.
You’re alone at your desk, staring at charts, making lightning-fast decisions, and at times, wrestling with doubt.
That’s why having a trading mentor is so powerful.
I had one…so should you.

From Small Business Owner to Trader
Before I got into trading, I started my first business at age 20. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing…
Fortunately, I had people in my corner…
My CPA, my insurance guy, and my banker were my first mentors.
Whenever I felt lost, they’d say something like, “Relax, Tim. We’ve seen this before. Here’s what to do…”
It was just what I needed to hear.
Eventually, that business became successful, I sold it, and I got into trading.
And now, I’m here to be that mentor for others through both the booms and the slowdowns.
Why a Mentor Changes Everything
A mentor can be your shortcut through the minefield of mistakes.
Here’s what the right mentor can do for you:
- Help you avoid rookie mistakes
- Hold you accountable
- Share real-world experiences and insights you won’t find in books
Believe me, I’ve made the mistakes, and I’m not shy about sharing them. That’s where the real value lies.
What to Look For in a Trading Mentor
Not every mentor will be a 30-year veteran, and that’s okay. Some of the best mentors are just a few steps ahead of you.
What matters is fit.
Here’s what to look for:
- Proven success: Consistent results over time
- Clear communicator: Explains ideas simply and clearly
- Shared values: Their strategy and risk tolerance align with yours
- Accessibility: They’re available to answer questions and give feedback
- Emphasis on risk management: They don’t just hype trades, they protect capital
Make the Most of Your Mentorship
Having a mentor is a huge advantage…
But you have to do your part, too.
Here’s how to get the most out of it:
- Be coachable: Drop the ego and stay open to feedback
- Put in the work: No one can trade for you. Practice what you learn and do the extra work on your trading days off.
- Ask questions: The more you ask, the faster you learn
- Stay consistent: Success won’t happen overnight. Stick with it.
My Final Thoughts…
If you’re new to trading, or even if you’ve been at it for a while, having a mentor can save you years of frustration and thousands of dollars in mistakes.

- AI stocks are hot and will continue to get hotter. Get them before they’re too expensive.
- If you don’t have time for day trading, swing trading might be just what you’re looking for.
