Skype and email support as and when required. When ready, access to Martin's 'Elite Traders' Skype thread for current setups and thoughts.
Coaching & Mentorship
Coaching and Personal Mentorship is a proven formula for progressing in one's chosen field. It will of course help if that Coach and Mentor is an experienced practitioner in that field and a patient and inspirational guide.
Select Group Coaching - Programme Overview
Why are 80% of Traders (approx) unprofitable?
Brokers in the USA and UK have to publish how many of their clients are Loss Making / Profitable in % terms. These Stats at first seem horrendous! Most though, will not have undergone any serious Trading Education, Coaching and Mentoring and will lack sufficient Market Experience to have any chance of succeeding. Needless to say, they have probably also been seduced by what they see and hear on Social Media. Don't be like the majority, you can avoid many of the pitfalls of the novice trader by investing in your own Trading Education. Trading is a Life Skill and once learnt never forgotten. We aim to elevate our Clients into the top 5% of truly consistently profitable traders.
Building Your 'House of Trading'
Our programme ensures that you receive a solid trading foundation and has been designed in a specific module sequence so that each lesson builds on the previous ones, in a logical order, gradually building your knowledge and understanding, as 'Learning To Trade' is more of a marathon than a sprint or Mountain Climb rather than a gentle stroll. Similar to building a house, there is critical path that needs to be followed. As you progress, so the time between lessons will be longer, enabling you to consolidate your knew found knowledge and put it into practice. Once you have learned some strategies we will encourage you to trade firstly in a Demo account. Once you have a track record of consistent profitability in a Demo Account we will then introduce you to trading a Live Account. The Process is exactly the same but the emotions can be different. Throughout the Programme there is Homework and you will also be writing your own strategic Trading Plan.
Coaching & Support
Our coaching takes the form of a Weekly Webinar where all your questions and concerns can be addressed. Plus, as and when you are ready, we will start to look at the Markets together, demonstrating how to conduct your analysis, see what is setting up and build your Watch List of Potential Trades. You will also be asked to provide your 'Investor Password' so that your Coach can see what trades you are taking in your Demo and subsequent Live Accounts. Knowing someone is looking over your shoulder provides Accountability and can help enormously when you are trying to stick with the process and not break the rules! When you are considered ready, you will be invited to join the 'Elite Traders' Skype thread where up to the minute Potential and Live trades are posted and discussed.
Mentoring
There are 3 main phases of development as a Trader, initially it is the Mechanical phase of learning the trading process. Once that has been mastered then you will enter the Subjective phase, where you are starting to grapple with the realisation that Trading is all about probabilities and 'What Ifs'. Lastly, is the move into becoming an Intuitive trader, who is in tune with the markets and where everything is second nature. Under pinning this Trader development is the need for personal development and getting to grips with the many facets of Trading Psychology. There is also the progression from being a novice Retail Trader to Professional Trader (Prop Trader / Fund Manager). To get there, you will likely need to be Mentored by someone who has done it.
“I have known Martin Walker for 4 years and can’t recommend his trading skills highly enough. They say trading is an art not a science; Martin has mastered this art to an extremely high degree. Being a developing trader myself, Martin has helped me see things in analysis that would not have been apparent otherwise. By utilising a number of different core analysis techniques Martin creates high probability trade set-ups. By conducting a top down, bottom up approach to analysis, a picture emerges that will build a strong case for a particular trade. As far as I’m concerned you would have to go a very long way to find a better well rounded teacher in the markets. Most importantly this highly effective and profitable approach has really allowed me to take my own trading to a much higher level than would otherwise have been

Martin is an ideal guide for those starting out trading. You are entering a complex market which has evolved over many years and it is easy to be seduced by the possible rewards and then meet with the many pitfalls which trap naïve traders. Martin will take you through all the many ways of understanding the market, from highly technical analysis through to the fundamental economic events which move the markets and the skittish sentiment which can take hold of it sometimes. Thorough and patient he will nurture your trading personality until you feel able to tackle the market on your own terms. A profitable trader himself, Martin is a genuine mentor in a field where there are many who are not what they seem.

Was Retired (Now A Trader!)
Since I started the Personal Mentorship and Coaching programme Martin has transformed my approach to the FX markets. Martin has been trading the markets successfully for many years and he has taught me exactly how he trades through his one on one training sessions. Martin tutored me on how to approach the markets and read price action, showing me his set ups through many current examples that he’s recently taken and anticipating taking. As part of the mentorship, Martin also posts on a private group forum that he runs, posting live ideas and his view of the current market which allows you to see in real time the application of his methods. I’ve been very happy working with Martin through his mentorship programme and will continue working with him to complete my training.

Student & Aspiring Trader
I am very thankful to have found Martin, he is polite, professional & understanding. No matter where you are in your trading journey, he will provide you with all of the knowledge you need to succeed. His teaching is easy to follow and filled with quality trading information that is extremely difficult to find online. The Lessons are always fascinating, stimulating, and engaging. Martin will help you learn Forex in a very straightforward and organised manner, answering any questions you may have promptly. Prior, I had little experience or understanding of the financial markets, and since beginning Martin's Program, I have quickly gained a substantial amount of knowledge. Martin will also provide you with access to his trade setups and other resources. Learning about financial markets can be daunting, but with Martin's Mentorship, you'll never feel alone. This Mentorship Programme is highly recommended.

Martin is an excellent trader & instructor. He has taught me the secret I had been seeking for several years.
In this business, besides learning how to control emotion, it is vital to learn how to efficiently synergise all the various strategies & tools and layer them all strategically.
Martin’s approach to teaching trading is not only easy, but fun & unforgettable

Highly recommended trading course. Martin provides you with the essentials to succeed in the markets. His expertise and know how will ensure that you take the right steps to becoming a profitable trader. You will cover everything from technical and fundamental analysis to trading psychology.
One of the major benefits about this program is that everything taught and applied are used by Martin himself, which is great as you get a first-hand look into how he approaches the markets with the same concepts you will learn.
It is difficult to find legitimate mentors who aren't just out to sell you false dreams and take your hard earned funds in this industry. Martin is genuine. It has been a pleasure learning from him and with the right approach and mindset you too can make a solid start to becoming successful.
What Would My Trading Journey Be Like?
Everyone is different and have their own aspirations, however, a typical Learn To Trade experience with ForexTradingLondon.com would be something like this:
Firstly, you submit your name, email address and phone number and are sent 20 Scoping Questions to answer, you send the answers back and and then have a chat with Martin on the phone or Skype, there is no hard sell! You then decide to proceed and pay. You are then sent some Pre-Programme Preps to complete. You are then ready to get down to business.
You may start having no or little trading knowledge or experience and will be a little nervous and unsure if you have done the right thing joining. You quickly realise that you will be taught everything you need to know and also that when it comes to trading the financial markets, you don't know what you don't know, but there might be someone who does and who can guide you through the maze. You also realise that every time you re-watch a recorded lesson or session, you learn more, and start to learn the Mechanical Process of Trading.
You will be encouraged to write your own Strategic Trading Plan, rather like a Business Plan. This will help to draw everything together before applying this in the live markets. You'll also be encouraged to keep a Trading Journal to record your experiences as you develop as a Trader. Starting off Trading in a Demo account, you need time to consolidate your knowledge but after a while things fall into place and you begin to make profitable trades. As you progress further, you begin to understand that the trading knowledge is being layered up intentionally to improve your probability of success and that trading is all about probabilities and that profits are achievable, provided you have a definable edge and manage your Risk appropriately.
At some point, when you are deemed ready, you transfer over to trading a Live Account. The process is exactly the same but the emotions can be different. You are encouraged to focus on the process and by now will have created structure around your trading which will help enormously when trading the Hard Right Edge of the charts. You realise that what you are actually doing is to trying to Manage Uncertainty by Controlling the Controllables and not worrying about the Uncontrollables. As well as needing to be motivated to Learn How To Trade you realise that you need to be 100% committed to succeed. This where you start to work on your own Trading Psychology, developing Patience and Discipline, recognising and controlling emotions of FOMO, Fear and Greed, pacing yourself and realising that a fit mind is supported best by a fit body, that is rested, fed and hydrated and not hungover and that ultimately YOU are your edge! Your inner fortress of self-resilience will be nearly built. You are probably now a Subjective trader who can do their own analysis and find their own trades. You sleep well at night because you mange your risk in open trades well.
You are now gaining market experience and over time with help and guidance you progress towards becoming an Intuitive Trader, one can feel the nature of the markets and is always well prepared and mostly in the Zone when trading. You regularly check in with yourself before, during and after trading monitoring how you feel and act to make sure you are in the best possible state to trade and on point. If not, then No Trading.
You have finally developed into an Independently Minded Consistently Profitable Trader with a qualified Trading Record of Profitability. You move into the world of Professional Trading after being offered or seeking a Funded Trading Account which can be scaled up as your account grows. BUT...... you realise you will Never Stop Learning and Improving as a Trader and that your EGO is your worst enemy and you strive to be grateful and exercise humility.
