About - The Trading Coach

The Trading Coach’s Purpose

The Trading Coach International’s vision is to ensure that every day overworked men and women have the opportunity to build a solid trading and investing income to enjoy life the way rich people do, without the need to be a financial genius or hire a costly professional trader to do it for you.

We know it’s possible because we’ve helped many people do it over the last 7+ years.

If you’re here, you’ve probably already learned that 40 years of working for someone else will only make them rich, with you only just having enough to survive.

But, if you work smart, you can build the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

The truth is that building a trading income isn’t easy. Successful traders and investors focus on what’s important…

How to read and understand the market and the motivation of the people who make the market move…

How to set goals and plan to build a strong, consistent income from your trading and investing enterprise… and the toughest: how to not let your fears, ego, bad habits and lack of discipline trip you up and wipe out your account.

To deal with the challenges of being a human being that trades, LIFT incorporates proven mindset strategies to help someone develop the character needed to BE the Person who would automatically make the best trading and investing decisions and have the income you want as a result.

We believe that there is no “one right type of person” destined above all others to build an income from trading forex and investing.

The truth is that success in trading and investing is just like success in any other business.

If you start off with a solid foundation with a strategy that has everything in place to build profit, educate yourself on how to be your best at what you do, manage risk to lock in profit and minimise loss, take opportunities to grow your business, persist with focus and have support to keep yourself mentally in the “game”, you have the highest probability to build the income and the lifestyle you want for you and your family.

But whatever decision you make, whether you’re a new trader, or experienced, but not achieving the results you want; consider investing in well-researched trading and investing strategies developed to help you achieve the results you desire and the life that you want to build.

The Coaching Journey Begins

Having spent 5 years working with successful traders, deconstructing their strategies, detailing their every move, how they produce they results they produce, co-developing a consistently profitable trading method, and building the first version of his training manual, our lead coach co-founded a trading education business that taught trading technical analysis.

The “bones” were there… a strong foundation in technical analysis, a proven back-tested trading method that worked in the real world… But there was more work to be done. The students were achieving a measure of success, but results could be improved

We added a focus on understanding what makes a trader successful… Risk Management, Performance Management and Mindset Management: all Keys to Trading Success.

2010 to 2015

A Deeper Understanding of Trading Success

The trading journey is challenging and you can reach a level of OK results, where you need to consider “What is success in trading?” and “How do some people do it easier, while others struggle?”…

Following the teachings of Mark Douglas, Jack D Schwager, Alexander Elder and other trading mindset leaders, we factored into LIFT the challenges many new and experienced traders face. These include Impatience, Lack of Discipline, Ego, Fear of Failure, Greed, Inconsistency, Distraction, Unrealistic Expectations, Risk Chasing, Risk Aversion.

Our Goal was to find the key triggers, responses, strategies, exercises and conversations that could turn a trader limited by these to a confident, success-focused, capable, Consistently Profitable Trader.

Our team developed specific roles where there was a synergy between The Coach (technical, thought-focused, systems oriented, “head”) and the Community (people-focused, community oriented, “heart”) that complimented each other and their joint vision to help people improve their lives lead to the partnership of The Trading Coach International.

2016 to 2020

The Trading Coach is Founded and LIFT is born.

With a clear vision of how to make a difference in the lives of people looking to build financial independence, we founded The Trading Coach International from Melbourne, Victoria, with the goal to help regular Aussies set themselves and their families up for a brighter future.

We started working with small groups and individuals in Victoria, then New South Wales and Queensland, The Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia, improving the training material, bringing in new structures, tools and strategies to help people build their trading income faster and more sustainably.

The focus of LIFT has always been and will always be working one on one with people to help them improve their results and achieve their goals.

LIFT was built on the foundation of “Your Results Drive Our Coaching”. Just a course or book or series of videos is not enough for most people to become successful as a Trader.

To really achieve success, your coach needs to know you and your strengths and challenges to be able to help you grow trade by trade.

We’re not interested in awards or competitions. Your success, being able to build a lifestyle income and spend more time enjoying life with your family is our biggest award.

2020 to 2023

Challenging Times and an Opportunity to Refocus

Everyone was hit by the Global Covid-19 Pandemic.

Hard working people suddenly found themselves either out of a job or with radically different working circumstances.

Working from home opened many people’s eyes to the possibility of having a home-based income where they get to choose their hours, their income and be able to be more connected with their family and what’s really important to them.

The Trading Coach had a surge in interest in LIFT from all over the world.

New “LIFTERS” coming in from The United States, South America, The United Kingdom, Europe and Asia brought a depth to the community, refocused LIFT to make more On Demand resources available and new methods of coaching.

LIFT went Global and showed us that people all over the world want the same freedom of choice and income that LIFT could help them achieve.

We set up our new home base in the Waterman Centre in Chadstone, and built new community networks to help our community members across Australia.

LIFT has become more than just a trading success program, it’s become an international community of freedom-focused people who can support and contribute to everyone’s success.

So many new friendships have grown within the LIFT community and it’s our goal to expand this in the near future to reach more people we can positively impact.
