Are you confused about your trading? Not getting the results you want? Don’t know where to start or what to do next? Need some clarity?

I can help.

Trader coaching involves the periodic review of trades, strategies, mistakes, and answering your questions with the goal of improving trading performance, and ideally providing a better overall quality of life (less stress, enough money, less work time, more enjoyment).

It may be just one or two online meetings or email sessions to answer some questions you have or to gain some insight on a particular topic, or it could be a regularly scheduled call where we review your trades and make sure you’re on track with your goals.

Cory Mitchell has nearly 20 years of experience as a trader and began coaching in 2020.

Consultations may cover:

• Trading plan review
• Developing your own method for trading
• Finding and working on problem areas
• Trade review: making sure you’re sticking to your plan as well as addressing problems that occur while trading
• Answering specific questions you have related to your trading

You determine your schedule and your level of commitment. You may just want one session for a second opinion on your trading plan, ideas on overcoming a trading problem, or you may wish to set up weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions for periodic reviews/feedback on your trading.

If you’re self-employed or have trading income, your coaching may be a tax-deductible expense, meaning you could get a portion of the coaching fee back when you file your taxes. Consult an accountant or tax law in your area.

How To Apply

Shoot me an email via the Contact Us page explaining what you’re looking for. I’ll let you know if it’s something I feel I can help with, or possibly point you to some other resources if I’m unable to help.

I primarily only work with day traders and swing traders interested in stocks/ETFs or forex. As well as investors who need guidance with stocks or ETFs.

The Process

After you have contacted me, we’ll discuss how we want to proceed. You can come back to this page and pay for the number of hours of coaching you would like to receive, or you can pay as you go (I will send invoices or payment links).

Setting up an initial one or two video meetings is common. Quite often, this is all traders need to gain some insight and things to work on, and then they proceed to do that work on their own. Others prefer more sessions to get feedback on their trades or to be held accountable to their goals, for example.

We can also exchange emails, with you sending me questions or trades to review. For most emails, I record a video response and then email you that private video so you can watch it any time you want.

There are 2 types of coaching:

• By the Hour
• Accountability Packages

By the Hour Coaching

The rate is US$180/hour.
Paying in advance for multiple sessions reduces the fee (click on links to pay through Stripe).

3 hours: US$525 ($175/hour)

5 hours: US$850 ($170/hour)

I can also invoice you after our sessions if you prefer to proceed with one session at a time.

I don’t bill for any prep time or reading your emails. I only bill for time spent responding to emails or on the video call.

Sessions are pre-paid (or pay as you go), and the time used is deducted from the paid amount. For example, if you purchase 3 hours and we spend 1.25 hours on a video call, there are 1.75 hours left.

Some people opt to send me their trades, or questions, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or just when issues arise.

Other people choose to send in trades daily for several days in a row, looking for a lot of input quickly.

This can all be discussed prior to deciding to work together, and will depend on both our schedules.

Reviewing trades and providing email/video feedback usually takes about 10 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on how many trades/questions there are and the level of feedback required.

A video meeting is typically scheduled for 1 hour, but I leave time to go longer if needed. And we can cut it shorter if you desire.

If you wish to limit feedback to a certain time limit to control your costs, such as 1 hour per week, let me know in our communications and I will respect that.

At the bottom of any emails, I put down how much time was spent on the response.

Accountability Coaching Packages

Accepting a limited number of traders.

1 spot currently available.
Please email me to discuss if you’re interested.

With accountability packages, I actively try to keep you on task. You have responsibilities you must fulfill each day you are trading, and those tasks must be sent to me. If you don’t send them, I am going to question you as to why. At certain times you will have homework which must be submitted to me within an agreed upon time.

1-Month Package: US$2000
3-Month Package: US$5700

During the term of your package:

• 1 video session per week (approximately an hour). Longer or additional sessions are no issue assuming we both have the time availability.
• covering initial questions
• building or fine-tuning a daily trading process
• developing or fine-tuning your strategy
• dealing with specific trading issues as they arise
• email questions or issues as they arise and receive responses
• regular checkins from me asking how it is going so we can track where strengths and weaknesses occur
• no additional costs from me

I will not do your work for you. It is up to you to do the work and I help you implement it and think it through.

What is expected of you:

• Get your processes and strategies figured out and written down/know them.
  
  
• You will send me an email before your session begins highlighting your focus for the day and/or what you are working on (we will discuss what this looks like). I may provide feedback on these if required. If not, I just want to make sure you are doing the work.
  
  
• Screenshots (idealy with your thoughts written on the chart) of trades emailed to me after your trading session. I may provide feedback on these if required. If not, I just want to make sure you are doing the work.
  
  
• Compiling a package of “Playbook” trades. These are specific setups you saw or traded that are great examples of movement you want to capture. These are reminders of what you should be trading or building strategies around.
  
  
• Post-trade notes emailed to me. Was there a trade setup you saw that you really liked (whether you were in it or not) that you want to solidify and store in the mental vault for future use? Problems that popped up, with a focus on what was going on emotionally/in your head when it happened. I may provide feedback on these if required. If not, I just want to make sure you are doing the work.
  
  
• If we are dealing with a persistent problem, we will discuss it in the sessions or emails, but I will want you to journal (homework) where you dig deep into why it is happening. And reinforce why you need to move away from the current behavior and why you need to move toward the desired behavior. This homework needs to be sent to me. We will go over what this process looks like. I may provide feedback on these if required. If not, I just want to make sure you are doing the work.

I can’t force you to do anything. But if you don’t do a required element, you will get an email from me asking why, and I will provide reasons/encouragement why it needs to be done.

Why only 1 or 3 month packages? And the cost? It takes time to develop habits and stick to a process. Most people stop doing something after a couple days/weeks/months. Committing to 1 or 3 months, along with the cost, means you are more likely to stick to the process. The cost is a discounted hourly rate based on the assumption it will take me approximately 3 hours of work per week to have sessions, review trades, and respond/send emails. There is also more work/responsibility for me in terms of trying to keep you on task and doing the required work.

There is the option to continue beyond the initial one or three months…we can come up with a customized package for just accountability, email support, fewer/no sessions, and so on.

Cheers,
