An Overview of Our Financial Wisdom Group Membership
## Introduction
Hi everyone.
This is just a brief introduction to my membership, which is an exciting new feature we have had in the background of the channel for some time. For those considering joining, I thought it best to provide a comprehensive insight into what you can expect from this membership experience. Understanding the value and structure of this offering can help you make an informed decision about whether it aligns with your personal learning and trading goals.
## Initial Reluctance
Initially, I had a significant reluctance to offer anything resembling a paid service. In fact, the entire purpose of me starting the channel was to follow my passion for trading and provide free education to all viewers. My goal was to enable anyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, to devise their own strategy. I envisioned a more DIY approach to learning about trading and investing, where individuals could empower themselves with knowledge and skills without the barrier of cost.
## Growing Demand
However, over time, I noticed a growing number of questions from viewers regarding my own personal trading strategy. This consistent curiosity led me to the idea of creating a central area where members could discuss various topics related to trading, share insights, and support each other in their journeys. It became clear to me that there was a demand for a more structured environment where serious learners could engage with the content and with one another.
## Membership Fee
The monthly fee for membership is the minimum I was able to charge through YouTube, and it’s important to note that a significant percentage of this fee is taken by the platform. Despite this, it is not the monetary value that holds the most importance for me; rather, it is the commitment and accountability that this membership fosters among those who are genuinely serious about the teachings I provide. I believe that when individuals invest in their education, they are more likely to engage deeply with the material and take meaningful steps toward their trading goals.
## Free Content
With that being said, I want to emphasize that for those who are not looking to join the group, I sincerely hope you continue to enjoy and learn from all the current and future videos I will be producing. There is a wealth of information available for free, and I am dedicated to ensuring that it remains accessible to all.
## About Me
A bit about me: I have been involved in the markets for more than 25 years, during which I have endured many of the ups and downs the market has had to offer. My journey has been filled with valuable lessons, and I have experienced both the exhilaration of making money and the frustration of losses. In those moments of success, I often thought I had cracked the code, while during periods of loss, I continuously tweaked any semblance of a strategy I believed I had developed. I explored various markets, experimented with different time frames, and delved into a multitude of technical indicators, seeking the elusive formula for consistent profitability.
## Trading Philosophy
Eventually, I took full accountability for my trading outcomes. After reading hundreds of books and spending probably thousands of hours on backtesting and practical application, I began to build a trading strategy and philosophy that was not only logical and profitable but also aligned with my personality. I have come to realize that understanding one's personality is a highly underrated attribute in the world of trading and investing.
## Key Advice
If I had to offer a key piece of advice to anyone looking to make trading or investing a serious endeavor, it would be this: make sure you understand your personality, including both your strengths and weaknesses, and align your strategy to suit those characteristics. This self-awareness can significantly enhance your decision-making process and overall trading performance.
## My Strategy
My strategy is what I would like to refer to as a hybrid approach, striking a balance between technical and fundamental analysis. I prefer to use weekly charts for all my technical decisions, as I believe that any time frame shorter than this can lead to a disconnection from the fundamental factors driving the market. Conversely, focusing solely on fundamentals can cause one to miss out on opportunities to time the market effectively or establish a solid risk-reward structure for each position—an incredibly important metric that can influence long-term success.
## Membership Benefits
I analyze potential positions and disclose them to the members each weekend, providing detailed commentary on why each position is taken, along with insights into the profit and loss from closed positions. Additionally, I maintain a live portfolio of all my current positions. I hope that this level of transparency will not only serve as an educational tool but also empower individuals to gain the confidence to trade independently whenever they choose to do so.
## Disclaimer
To this point, I must clarify that I am not a financial advisor, and none of the positions I suggest should be considered blindly or without personal research. All I ask is that you take what you can from the process and perhaps merge it with your own unique trading style, creating a personalized approach that resonates with you.
## Trading Methodology
In terms of specifics regarding my trading methodology, I generally aim to build a portfolio that consists of around 15 positions. I have found that having too many positions can lead to a diluting effect, while having too few can leave us more exposed to positional anomalies that may arise. Some weeks, there may be no qualifiers for new positions, while in other weeks, there could be three or four promising opportunities that meet my criteria.
## Performance Metrics
My long-term win rate has averaged around 58%, and my risk-reward ratio is a little over 4 to 1. This means that for every dollar I risk, I aim to make four dollars in return. The average loss I experience is approximately 6%, while the average win hovers around 24%. My ultimate goal is to achieve an unleveraged return of 40% per annum, which, while ambitious, is a target I strive to reach through disciplined trading and continuous learning.
## Conclusion
The membership is certainly not designed for those seeking frequent action or a high-octane trading environment; rather, it is tailored for individuals looking to learn from a more patient and methodical approach to trading. If you believe you can benefit from this membership, then I wholeheartedly encourage you to consider joining. If not, please continue to enjoy and learn all you can from the free material I will persist in offering on the channel.
Best of luck to everyone on your trading journeys, and goodbye for now.
