I learned how to trade Forex first. In fact Forex has always been my first love and my main
love. It all started back in the mid-nineties after I graduated from University and joined the
Thomas Cook Financial Services group, as a young, keen (perhaps a little over zealous) lad out
of school and into their technology department. I worked hard and demonstrated aptitude and
quickly realised that the money being made in this place wasn’t the holiday business – but the
lucrative Foreign Exchange business.
And then a twist of fate happened – the internet was becoming more popular, the world
wanted to trade online and I was involved in a project called “the Virtual Trading Desk”, which
was to become the world’s first internet based Forex Trading platform – allowing treasury
departments across the globe to transact in Forex at the touch of a button. To make this project
a reality, I had to learn everything about Foreign Exchange – I trained with traders from
London, New York, Toronto, Australasia. They taught me how the rates were constructed, what
influenced the currency movements, how they traded the flow, and a complete insider view on
fundamental influences, news, politics and of course technical (charts). I witnessed billions of
dollars being dealt and millions being made.
Within months, I had moved out of technology and I was running the Forex trading and
operations business out of Toronto, Canada for the Virtual Trading Desk.
This was such a revolution in the Foreign Exchange world, if you remember the Euro, the ERM
(Exchange rate mechanism) was all to come...this was pre-2000 (and the millennium bug!). We
were so far ahead of our time, we won multiple awards for this innovation - beating the likes of
Barclays and Charles Schwab – we had real-time Forex Trading and on else did.
Because of my success with the Virtual Trading Desk, I was soon gobbled up by a big US Bank
(my signing bonus was more than my salary from my previous job and, as you can imagine, my
parents were ecstatic!).
Ask anyone how to quadruple their income and their brain asks
“How can I work four times harder?”. Trading changed all of
that for me.
Through Investing and Trading (where your money works while you don’t), I realised I could
make exponential income and that in this case, time is disproportionately related to money.
Don’t get me wrong – this wasn’t easy, I certainly have the scars (both emotional and financial)
and I definitely learned the hard way, for example I have no shame in telling you that I burned
seven trading accounts along the way. We all have our own journeys to experience, mine led
me to the realisation that i could try and gamble this market – or i could use strategies that
professionals use and that work.
I am reminded of this nearly every day. When I look at the outer-ring of a British two pound
coin, the inscription reads “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants”
After I officially retired from work at 28– I decided to set up a trading floor, from my home.
Since those early days, I have been passionately sharing the ‘secrets’ with everyone I have
come into contact with. At first it was friends and family – but before I knew it, I had 17 people
camping out at my house trading on my lounge floor from laptops, and Knowledge to Action®
was born in only 3 short months.
Today, only five years later I have spoken on almost all major market channels including CNBC
and Bloomberg.
The success of the graduates (which combine instruction and, importantly, coaching) has led to
being written about in two books, Bets in the City by Sally Nicoll – where I turned the author’s
trading career around, and she attributes her trading success to our programme and Instant
Intuition by Anne Jirsch – a well known psychic who researched my extraordinary trading profits
Now...
For the first time ever I have decided
to ‘spill my guts’ – if you’ll excuse the
expression. Up until now, only a
small group have been able to access
these strategies. We restrict
ourselves to running only a small
number of seminars per year, and
everyone we teach undergoes a Live
trader coaching programme to

Forex Trading Pays Off: Greg Secker’s Project Aston Martin DB9S
In the Forex you can literally create millions for yourself, if you use
proper professional trading strategies. This marketplace has both
the leverage and the accuracy to transform your trading career.
At time of writing the Forex trades about $3 trillion dollars every single day. That’s more than
the every single asset class combined (i.e. more than the bond, stock, equity markets
together!).
The sheer size of this marketplace means that, unlike trading stocks, you can easily execute
your trades at any time and get extremely tight spreads on your trading. This means the cost
of dealing is low and the also the more you trade the cost
stays fixed – so unlike stocks where you would expect the
price to move the larger the order (as brokers have to
source enough stock for you to trade), the Forex markets
are completely liquid and therefore are
Due to magnitude of the Forex market, this noise from one or two individuals is smoothed out
because of the sheer size - again. This translates into reliable signals. The power comes when
your trading strategies are reliant on trading these clear signals.
What you are looking at below is a chart of the EURUSD. You are looking at Pivot lines below
(we’ll talk more about these later on), just for now notice how the price bounces ever so
accurately off these lines. Trading Strategies that work, are those which use these type of clear
undeniable trading signals.
If you are an early bird, you will find setups on the major
currencies at 7am. If you are a night owl, you’ll find
setups in the evening.
The point is this, you will soon find the time frame and
the currencies to monitor and you place the trades when
you are available. On Ultimate Forex Profits™ programme you will discover which strategies to
trade and when. Most traders think that the big money is made trying to scalp the Forex –
nothing could be further from the truth. The big money is made in Forex by setting up end-of-
day trading strategies and letting these positions just run and run and bring you hundreds and
thousands of pips.
Unlike the Stock market – the Forex market does not gap. A gap is a space
on a chart where no trading takes place, leaving literally a physical white
space on the chart. This is dangerous.
If you have bought some shares in a company only to discover a week later
that the company is having problems and releases a profit warning. The gap
could be 10%, and unless you are using a guaranteed stop loss you would take a whopping
10% loss on the trade.
Now this is well known to stock traders and it is considered ‘market risk’. However, in the Forex
market this risk does not exist. The Forex market is completely seamless – in other words there
The price at what you buy and sell is important. If there is a big difference between what is
costs you to buy something and immediately sell it back to the
market – it only follows that this contributes to a high cost of
dealing.
In stocks, the difference between what you can buy and sell
your stocks (the spread) is controlled almost exclusively by
market makers. The spread changes often, and is a reflection of
the amount of stock available at any given time. If there are lots
Take a look at the following example. You can see the spread on Gregg’s the Bakers is 80
points. That is because Greggs is not a heavily traded stock ( you don’t get many people buying
a stock that is £33 a share) and therefore the spread is wide. This is because Greggs doesn’t
split it’s stock, it wants to attract long term investors who are interested in the dividend it pays
out for holding the stock. A trader then would have to pay 80 points just to get into the trade.
At £10/pt this puts the trade at a -£800 loss just on trade entry.
However in the Forex market, the spread is unaffected by market conditions. The spread is
always fixed, so you always know exactly what prices you are dealing at. Why? There are, as
said before – no size restrictions in the Forex markets.
There is always two currencies in every pair, a BASE and a TERMS. The BASE is always the first
currency in the pair and is always equal to 1. The second currency in the pair is the TERMS and
this tells you what the how much currency you could buy for 1 unit of the BASE currency. For
example, if EURUSD is trading at 1.3710, it means 1 Euro is worth 1.3710 US Dollars.
When the exchange rate rises, the ‘terms currency’ is weakening against the base, and the base
is obviously increasing against the terms. Currency trading is the simultaneous buying of one
currency and selling of the other.
Trade in the Direction of the Trend – Wait for the pull back.
In the following diagram, we see the trade is clearly in an uptrend. By the way, that is defined
as higher-highs (higher peaks forming) and the higher-lows (the troughs are higher as we move
from left to right).
As the stock pulls back (1) to the moving average line (that’s the blue line in this diagram), we
see a series of red (seller) bars selling off in an uptrend. When the price approaches the moving
average we would expect it to bounce off. We are therefore looking for a reversal bar (red
changing back to green in this instance) and looking for trade entry around this area.
What’s the rationale here? Firstly, there are more buyers than sellers in this particular market –
hence why the stock is in an uptrend. That’s pretty obvious you say – yes it is. However, no
markets move in a straight line, they move up and then they pull back.
Most novice investors enter a trade that is clearly moving strongly in a direction, only to see it
reverse on them almost immediately and take their precious capital with it. Why? Generally in
the height of excitement of a move – the full stretch of the accordion player if you like, must
pull back to allow profit takers to realise their profits. It’s this movement that causes the market
to retrace and our novice investors immediately eat a loss.
What can we do? We must wait to see the direction of the trend established and the line of the
trend. Then notice the early profit taking which pulls the currency back to the line of current
trend direction. Now we enter – only on small entry bars - with low risk (i.e. the price bars are
small).
At Ultimate Forex Profits, graduates learn exactly how to identify these key turning points and
place low-risk managed trade around these crucial points. With a chart like this, these types of
trades yield literally hundreds of pips. At a trade size of £10/pt or 1 Standard lot, you are
looking at between £2500 and £3000 profit per trade.
In summary, we want to see the pull back occur and reverse back towards the direction of the
trend – when this reversal of the retracement is confirmed –this is our confirmation of entry.
STOP! BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER! Successful trading is about managing risk, period.
If you are currently trading, have ever traded or are considering trading, ask yourself this
important question: how much cash should I place on any given trade?
If the answer to this question is not mathematically generated from a risk-based formula,
stop trading immediately! If you are placing £5000 or £5000 on the next trade – because
you ‘feel’ that it is likely to ‘go-well’, then your trade sizing is coming from stomach and not your
head – this is your signal to STOP TRADING, AND LEARN HOW TO TRADE SIZE.
Trading is a numbers game. Every single trade you place must be considered as “a trade in a
sea of many trades”.
Some trades will work out, others will not – that’s life.
Your job is to make sure that the ones that do not work out don’t hit your account like a freight
train – meaning they must be risk managed. You must set the game up to win. Losing trades
should nibble at your capital, not shatter it after a string of losers. It is not in your winning
trades that fortunes are made; it is in the protection of your capital against heavy draw downs
where winning traders are made.
One of the biggest causes of failure amongst traders therefore is the inability to manage risk
and control losses.
Remember this: Huge Money is Only Made When a Little Money is Risked
The Right Way and Commonly Used Wrong Way to Determine the Size of Your Trade
Handling Losses – if your trade drops below a pre-defined level, you must exit – no
hesitation. Sure it will hurt but as a successful trader you know that this is part of trading –
consider it learning capital and GET USED TO IT!
Being a successful investor or trader isn’t simply about winning more trades than you lose. It’s
about controlling your losses so that the profits from your wins will outweigh the
losing trades.
Look familiar? Too many investors or traders use the Wrong Way. Let’s have a look at the Smart
Way.
Once you have identified a trade, the next step is to calculate the Reward: Risk ratio using your
stop loss and a realistic target price.
Your Reward: Risk ratio should be 2:1. In Forex trading, we even take 1:1 reward risk trades
in some instances, but this is only when trading the higher probability strategies which offer
90+% probability of success.
If the target profit price is at least three times the risk then the trade makes sense. If not, look
elsewhere. You may well be right, and the share may well go up, but trading like this is too
risky and will most likely lead to failure.
In fact I once coached a guy, (we’ll call him Punter Pete) who would always spread bet £40 a
point on any trade he traded.
Whilst the trades he picked weren’t bad calls, because he always traded the same amount on
every trade, the ultimate risk on each trade varied wildly. Before I coached him, he had never
once had a profitable year – and this was his third year! After I taught him to trade-size
correctly – he made 115% that very next year!
The position you take (your stake or number of shares you buy) on any one trade should be
determined by your account size, the perceived risk and the proportion of your account
you are willing to risk.
Let’s assume you have a trading account of £10,000. You should only ever risk a small
percentage of your account on any one trade – I recommend that you never risk more than
2%, and realistically 1% is a much better risk level. This is the key to success. Most
failures are because people get greedy and wipe out early on.
So, using this strategy, you can still make profits since your winning trades outweigh the losses
from a larger number of losing trades.
The Account Risk is determined by the total value of your trading account (in this case £10,000)
multiplied by 1%, so effectively we are saying we cannot lose more than £100 on any trade (i.e.
1% of £10K is £100).
Now we look at the Risk on the trade – effectively this is the difference between where you
entered the trade (entry price) and where you exit if it all goes wrong! (Stop loss).
Now, the key question, once trade risk is handled is how to select winning trades. Or more
importantly, how to build a list of trades that are most likely to go in your favour. Notice, I
don’t even consider looking for trades until I have the risk management piece handled – that’s
how important it is.

Only enter trades following small, undersized bars, these offer you low
risk entry points and also offer a good protection shield for your stop
loss which should be placed just below (or above) an area of
consolidation of undersized bars.
1. Support/Resistance analysis
2. Pattern Recognition
3. Evaluation of Risk : Reward
4. Time Frame Agreement and Indication
5. Know Trade Size, Stop Loss and Trade Length (no. of days) First
6. After entry – note your fill price and recalculate risk if necessary
7. Measure volume and price immediately following your entry – is it moving as quickly
before entry as after?
8. EXIT IMMEDIATELY should price hit a level that proves the trade wrong
Trade Exit
9. Best exits from longs (buys) come when you sell into a crowd just as upward price
action approaches resistance
10. Only sit through a retracement IF your trade plan and time is targeting several price
waves
11. Expect retracement – If your trade plan targets a larger move and a consolidation range
forms after an initial move up, place a stop just below the range in case it moves the
wrong way. The moment the consolidation is broken to the upside, move your stop.
For example, throughout life most of us associate the following “Exciting = Good” (think Casino
hall versus Examination hall).
Apply this to the trading world and it spells disaster. People mistake potential trades that are
exciting-looking and moving for profitable ones. Put simply, if a trade is already moving it’s too
late. It has already ‘moved’ and therefore it is time for you to move on!
Amateurs wait for trades to ‘prove’ their worth by moving excitingly (the same way people are
seduced into casinos) our intrepid trader jumps in – only to see the position reverse and almost
immediately run into a loss.
The answer? Never enter trades that are currently moving quickly, look for trades that are
about to breakout and enter for a low risk entry following a pull back, and try to place your stop
loss close to a consolidation.
For example, if Punter Pete makes a quick £1000 from a 20 point move on the EURUSD at a bet
size of £50/point in only 20 minutes – then it’s quite conceivable that his profit expectations
from the trade will be in the order of £3,500 to £4000. Why? Because he, like most of us have
been conditioned to believe that time is directly related to money – and with his £1000 potential
profit, he decides to wait a while longer to see if he can squeeze any more profit out of the
trade.
What is the best way for a private investor to take their investment returns into their own
hands? Is there a preferred route? Having trained thousands of investor’s young and old,
private and professional I can tell you this – whether number cruncher or starving artist, single
mum or retired stock broker – they are all controlled by the same emotional state – Greed.
How do we counter this state? Can it all be harnessed in a couple of hours or days?
4. Never trade with money you can’t afford to lose. Sounds simple? Most people over
trade and throw too much in too early on. Use a pot of money of which you could
tolerate a 50% loss. Understand the risks.
5. Let profitable trades run, cut losers fast. Want to know the difference between a
successful trader and a loser? Successful traders cut losing trades in nano-seconds,
losers hang on in.
We must understand the way price forms on a chart, and understand this intimately. When we
enter our trades Long (buying) on the Trading Cycles we would be better off entering as area 1
is breached (see chart below). Trading Cycles rarely form perfect symmetrical shapes that you
can easily identify.
Therefore it is essential to break the characteristic components of the trading cycle down –
study these intimately, so we can recognise at what stage of the cycle we are in.

Our primary objective is to move the stop loss to approximately breakeven. When we have
moved the stop loss to approximately breakeven (based on PRICE and TIME), our next
objective is to take ground i.e. lock in profits. Notice the order of priority:
After the trade has moved into profit and we have reached breakeven – we can now look to
build the trade.
Why?
If the trade goes against you (hits stop) your loss is tiny – bet size is small
Stunned, the answer I usually get from people is one of two possible – either “Erm, LOTS!?” or
“Hmm, I don’t know”. The problem with both of these answers is they have no direction. When
the human mind has no direction, there is little action. Success in this business demands action,
consistent action - if only for 30 minutes a day!
When people tell me they “don’t know” how much they want to make from trading – it is
generally because they haven’t spent any time really thinking about it. The reason for this is
that they don’t really BELIEVE they are going to making that much, so the mind, consistent with
avoiding the pain of disappointment – never really addresses the issue, and hence, never gets
the direction or the ‘drive’.
The reason most people don’t BELIEVE, is because they don’t have any REAL experiences of
successful trading - income hitting their bank account month after month – sporadic maybe,
but nothing they have come to rely on as much as a pay cheque! - and they probably don’t
know anyone else who trades successfully. Beliefs are built on references – i.e. experiences we
witness and if you are not surrounded and supported by successful traders – the likelihood is
that you belief in this area is low….if the belief is low….so is the action and the results!
For example, I recently had a conversation with a man who told me his monthly salary was
£5,000 to £6,000 and he would like to make only £1000 a month from trading. Unsurprised with
Let me state this. I don’t care how much money you have now. It’s not about that. It’s about
how much money you want to make. In other words, if you want to be successful at trading,
you must focus your mind on what you want – then plan it and schedule it – to make it a
reality.
Without setting the goal of how much money you want to make first and addressing the
technicalities of trading second – you will be doomed to failure. Why? The subconscious (the
Action centre of the brain) needs to know what the ‘outcome’ of all of this activity is – setting
the goal upfront is like setting the destination first and then getting into the vehicle second. If
we just get into the vehicle, we have no direction, nothing to measure our progress against and
nothing to drive us.
There is a big difference between “What we say we are going to do” and “What we actually
do”. The conscious part of our brain (responsible for thoughts, rationalizing and analysis) has
little influence on what we do, or our actions. It is in the subconscious- that part with which
we associate either PAIN or PLEASURE, where we find our resulting ACTIONS. Generally we
will avoid whatever we have associated pain with, and conversely we tend to move towards that
with which we have pleasurable associations. It is a truism that
we will do more to avoid anything painful, than we will do to
attain the things we deem as pleasurable – or the things we
want!
You see this in society all the time. Ask, when do people
change their jobs, their relationships, their eating habits, their
health? At a place called THRESHOLD. Threshold is the place
where the pain has built up so much that something has to be
done about it. People will tell you their jobs are “ok”, which
generally means they are tolerating it for now, but they are
waiting for the pain to build up to where life has lost meaning and then they’ll quit. Knowing
that our actions are strongly associated with what we have defined as PAINFUL and
PLEASURABLE, we can use this intelligently to push us into action in the right direction.
When I first started trading, I made all the mistakes, I didn’t trade size, I didn’t plan, my
strategies were ineffective and I didn’t goal set. In fact, it’s a wonder I ever made it in trading
looking back at the earlier mistakes. If I took a losing trade, in my darker moments I would ask
“Why am I doing this? Who am I kidding?!” and without defining my goals, I remember
answering that question with “I have no idea!?” – And then I would take a few weeks out to
‘heal’ or at least try and forget.
Had I defined my goals clearly, and learned how to risk manage correctly it would have been a
minor set-back in my journey to financial freedom. For me it was a competitive streak and a
supportive trading environment that kept me going – you could say I had a lot of good
references and mentors around me every day, so it wasn’t long before I had corrected and got
back on the horse. Getting the goal and the plan in place are key to trading success, so let’s get
started now!
To give you a head start, I have taken the liberty of starting you
off defining your goals. You will notice the way I have
structured the questions (below) is centered around ‘outcomes’,
rather than percentages or monetary amounts. There is good
reason for this – your subconscious cares only about ‘outcomes’
and not monetary amounts. So this exercise will work on your
internal drive and the build towards a successful trading career.
You may initially find this exercise somewhat uncomfortable. That’s ok too – we all do. Just
know that it is something that must be done to really focus you on what you want – remember
‘destination’ first, vehicle selection - second.
Whenever I am asked by the media “Greg, How do you know if you’ve got a star trader in the
making on one of your Traders University® courses?” – I simply tell them the same I will tell you
– there are no star traders in the making – there are those with goals and directions, and there
are those without. Successful traders always have the following attributes –

In my early days I was a day trader - I believed that day trading was the best way for me to
make money. I made lots of losses and I found myself constantly glued to the screen. I
became addicted and also a bit of a hermit (and a fat one, I couldn’t leave the fridge alone!). I
was also finding it difficult to concentrate on my career whilst managing my personal trading
positions intra-daily. This is not the way to trade, unless you are full-time and enjoy looking at
screens all day. Sadly, this is all too often what traders become seduced into doing and all too
often they make a mess of it.
A great mentor helped me with this. He explained that here are two types of “time”.
“Horizontal time” and “Vertical time”. He explained Horizontal time is defined as 30
minutes to an hour a day or “little and often”.
And Vertical time is defined as 24 hours, or CRISIS time. In other words, looking at the above
diagram – most people try and fix their life (get to where you WANT to BE) in one foul swoop –
they wait until things are uncomfortable enough and then try and fix everything in CRISIS
mode.
Inexperienced Traders’ trying to make a £1000 a day on a £10,000 account is a classic example.
Whereas, in horizontal time, ordinary things done consistently produce extraordinary results –
i.e. just 30 minutes a day, done consistently produces amazing results.
As a beginner or intermediate trader, you will be happy to know that all of your instructions for
each trade you place (the entry price, stop-loss and take profit) on each trade can all be set
ahead of time.
(This allows us to select our trades once a day (in 30 minutes maximum) and have the system
manage our trades for us –literally on autopilot. Nowadays, most on-line brokers offer this
service at no additional cost.
You have options when learning to trade. You can buy tons of books, study the markets
intensely and begin the journey of testing and developing systems. Or you can take the
blueprint from a successful trader and literally copy what they do overnight.
It all depends on you your outcome. If you want to make money and save a lot of time, go for
the blueprint every time. If you are looking for a new experience and have lots of disposable
cash and time to waste, then set up your experimental lab and get ready for a roller-coaster
ride – it’s your choice. When I first learned to trade I used a lot of gut instinct and thought I
would figure it all out on my own…now I look back and realize just how extremely arrogant that
was. I also found myself adjusting my trading strategies to what I thought was suitable to
market conditions. Looking back now, I can’t believe I actually took this approach - I am
reminded though every time I interview a new student and find out how this approach hasn’t
changed much in a decade or so. I think we are taught at school to be original and inventive –
and copying or plagiarism is forbidden. I guess this is what sets us on a path to ‘go it alone’ –
as well as people aren’t prepared to pay for proper training and coaching, as they see it as ‘cost’
– when really it’s the best investment they could possibly make.
Pre-Programme Set-Up
Everything you need to have setup before you attend the programme so you can start to make
money immediately following the programme, including:
· Creating your individual trading plan – so you have a personal road map to success.
Position Trading. Meaning you will not be sat in front of your trading screen for hours on end
– position trading allows traders to spot high profit trading strategies outside of market hours
and place trades using automated ordering systems to manage the trading activity during
market hours. You should budget 20 to 30 minutes per day to perform your trading analysis. I
have some students who take a little longer and others who can be in and out in 10 minutes flat
– but the average is around 30 minutes. You will be shown how to automate the process and
use contingent ordering which will place your trade strategies for you, so you don’t need to
place the stop-loss orders or limit (take profit) orders. This process alone, will completely un-
chain you from the trading desk and allow your trading computer to become an income
generator that does not need babysitting.
How Traders University is Completely different From ANYTHING else out THERE?
My objective is a “No FLUFF” policy. There are too many courses available that spend a large
portion of time teaching you basic information that is freely available on the internet, with a
sprinkling of half-baked, half-tested strategies. Knowledge to Action is about answering this
question
And…..
Let me clear about something here. I LOVE what I do. In the trading education industry –
people always ask this question. “If you can make so much money trading – why bother
teaching?” Answer –I LOVE WHAT I DO. I run a full time trading floor, I trade my own money
and I also have traders trading my money.
Don’t get me wrong – I am ecstatic with my income from trading – it has changed my life
forever – I live in multi-million pound homes, I have very expensive toys , I vacation in the most
incredible places, I have maids and assistants – I live the dream.
But then what? So I have money coming in every day from different trading accounts – what I
am supposed to do, eat ice-cream and watch TV? How dull is that? I am an active guy! I play
polo, fly helicopters, trade everything that moves and run an organization that positively
changes peoples lives.
To me, life is all about what you contribute and who you become.
Since I started Knowledge to Action and the Traders University - I have been rated as a world-
class presenter, responsible for financially liberating thousands of people, won awards and been
recognized as a leading authority on creating financial freedom for people and changing lives.
It gives me a REAL buzz. Having written that and re-reading it, that probably sounds cheesy –
but the fact is, it’s true. It always makes people cringe – when they read that someone LOVES
what they do – that’s because we live in world where so many people are unhappy with their lot
and seeing other people happy and successful only reminds them of their crappy lot and makes
them jealous. But I say this, “don’t be a player hater – be a congratulator” – and become a
player, a real player – and take your life to the next level.
When I was a kid, I used to collect magic tricks. Today, I have over 300+ magic tricks collected
from all corners of the world. In fact, whenever I go on holiday now with my wife, I always go
to the bazaar or local market – to see if there is a magic trick I can buy.
To me, the ownership of the magic trick is cool – but it is NOTHING compared to the look on
someone’s face when (for example) a £20 note transforms into a £50 note in front of their eyes!
Teaching people to trade is the same – I love the feedback I get, I mean I really LOVE it.
I am not trying to say every e-mail I receive is gushing – but the vast majority of emails are
incredible. I believe it is what I was meant to do. I would LOVE to hear your feedback from the
results you achieve also. You can email me anytime on: greg@knowledgetoaction.co.uk
There is nothing smarter – than grabbing hold of years of previous trading experience and using
it to your benefit. That is a completely intelligent thing to do. If however you decide you want
the ‘experience’ of spending years developing your own strategy, then do it with small money
and as I have said before, prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster.
1. Make Sure they Trade ! - Many courses in the world today are focused purely on
great promises and fantastical assertions. Ask if you can see trading results from the
trainers – ask are they actually traders? If your driving instructor was dropped off at
your house in a taxi – you’d be skeptical – ask the same of your trading instructor. I
have trained thousands of people to trade – and many have tried to imitate what I have
created – but they don’t come close. I am the real deal. If you want to learn how to do
this properly, come to the source my friend.
2. Where’s the Trading Floor? Trading is a very lucrative business. If applied with
patience and discipline! If you are considering learning to trade with an organization
that doesn’t run their own trading floor – ask why? That simply tells you one thing –
they aren’t trading – they are making the money from training courses. You are
welcome to come to our 14 seater state-of-the-art trading floor any day of the week
and meet our traders in-person – you’ll find them normal people like you and I.
The quality of this is truly outstanding – and I can say that because I work in the industry,
and I’ve seen most products on the market today. I wanted to share a sneak preview with you
– so you can get a sense of the type of quality training you can expect from us.
If you would like to see our LIVE trader training centre – whilst courses are on, please be my
guest – just call and we’ll set a time for you to visit. Speak to one of the team NOW, on
In the last 2 weeks since I began actively trading using Greg's strategy, I
have made a return of 106% on my initial fund. On Monday 22nd May I
made £9,328 (tax free) while I was presenting a lecture. It was the
knowledge, skills development and confidence building provided that made
me achieve gains beyond my wildest expectations.
If people think the course is expensive then they should really think what the
price of ignorance will be on wasted trading opportunities like May 22nd.
Keep up the great work - and Thank You for helping me to achieve my
financial security.

After the course I had in place a structure to enter and exit a trade confident
in the knowledge that my risk was managed, so that I was aware of the
maximum loss that I could incur when I opened the trade. However I rarely
made a loss and I doubled my money within three months which paid for the
costs of the course. An example of one of my successful trades was to go £8
a point long on Collins Stewart on 3rd May at price of 723p with a stop loss
of 714p.
This meant that I was entering a trade with a maximum loss of £72 which
was 1.5% of my portfolio. I exited the trade on 11th May when the price was
799p, which resulted in a profit of £685 risking a maximum of £72, which is
a return of 811% in 7 trading days. Another example of one of my trades
was to enter Carphone Warehouse on 23rd February going 13 points long at
a price of 266.75p with a stop loss of 258p which meant my maximum loss
was £114. Using a variety of strategies taught to me by the course
I kept the position open (reducing my exposure and taking some profit) until
12th May when I exited at a price of 354p realising a profit of £595. This
was a return on my £114 of 522%.
Should you wish to develop a structured method of trading with your risk
and maximum loss defined before entering a trade, then there is no better
way than to proceed and sign up. I have never regretted it at all, although my
boss does as he knows that I will not be with him much longer!

I was your typical ad hoc trader, chasing markets, watching profits evaporate
into losses and getting my information from bulletin boards. The course
opened my eyes to several key things: money management, risk assessment,
discipline and how to pick stocks that have a higher probability of success.
From December 1st 2005 to 7th March I have managed to convert my
original starting fund of £5000 into £8470 which is an increase of 69.4%!!
Money well spent and highly recommended!
Regards,
Mike Patton
I'm now consistently making £500 to £2500 per week through increased
discipline and pro set-ups. I'm now at a level where the money is starting to
have a influence on my life.

Thanks to the course, I started with a seed capital of £15,000 and made a
profit of £1,388.50 cash by 16th August

Once I had set up my computer and my trading routine the results changed. I
... watched my results change from 10% in November to 17% in December
and 23% in January. The most amazing results I had produced over £400
profit one day whilst I was at work. The trade responsible was a short on
Lonmin in February. This was on an account of £4,000.
Regards,
Lindsey Thomas
Since Feb I have averaged 15% per month and have grown my account to
£3500. At the moment I see the money as a side issue, the real key is that I
have been consistent over the past 4 months, using only 1% of my account
on each trade and growing my knowledge by spending 9 hours per week on
trading. The speed of change in my fortune has been down to the momentum
sessions. This has transformed how and what I trade and given me the
foundation to build from.

If you want to succeed in Spread-betting this is the only place to go, believe
me I have done the circuit. The company is dedicated to making you a
success, not just taking your money but guiding you to financial success
which is exactly what they have done for me.

The 2 days are packed with a lot of information and I was trading by the end
of the week with good results. The set up is very professional and it was
worth every pound and pence.

The best aspect of the course for me was the money management segment
that allows me to have confidence in my trades and will ensure I remain
trading for a long time.

I have been interested in shares for many years but I've never developed a
method and discipline to my dealing, also I had never dealt in either CFD's
or Spread betting. I have been introduced to those now and with the
discipline, which I think is for me the most valuable lesson I came away
with, I feel I am some way towards achieving my ultimate goal.

I have been investing in equities for over 6 years and have had some limited
successes and some spectacular failures that were never my fault... or so I
thought.

Fantastic course - very well organised. Could not fault it even though it was
so intensive - learned a lot that I will be able to put into practice.

Three days ago I really hadn't got a clue about any of this stuff, after
spending more time than I care to remember reading the Motley Fool emails.
Now it makes so much sense. I know that I can now begin to trade and
consolidate the knowledge with my peers. Again, my thanks to you!

Mark Speed
