Now, I know what you might have said to yourself as you read the title of this course…
“That sounds too good to be true, but let’s check it out anyway…”
Just know this: Yes, trading for a living is possible!
How do I know this?
This is something that I do. And I also know plenty of other people who do the exact same thing.
Here’s an important thing you need to know: People have an idea of how traders who successfully ‘trade for a living’ work and the kind of returns they make, but reality is often very different.
For the longest time, I had a rigididea of what trading for a living should look like, and because of that, I’ve been on the wrong path many (many!) times.
I’ve struggled a lot before I arrived at where I am today.
So, allow me to share some important information with you and really clear up some things.
Imagine that I come to you and say,
“Hey, I make on average 20% return trading the U.S stock market every year.”
That’s a nice return, right? But, not impressive, by any stretch.
On the other hand, my friend Chris makes +250% return.
Now, this is what you can call impressive!
Now, imagine that both of us are offering to show you how we trade.
Chances are that you’ll probably think to yourself,
“Well, Chris makes more, so he must have some special knowledge that Yvan doesn’t have; he must have more experience, so I’d rather learn from him.”
But is that true?
Well, let’s look into that…
What if I told you that my equity curve is way less volatile than his?
Furthermore, what if I told you that I have a process-based, systematic way of trading that leads me to trade only 2 hours a day (usually less but let’s say 2 hours), and for the research and planning, a maximum of 15-20 minutes.
That’s a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes a day and around 12 hours a week.
Chris, on the other hand, is a discretionary trader. He uses his intuition to gauge market sentiment, and he relies heavily on chart patterns and esoteric analyses.
He works 50+ hours a week ―he spends on average 6 to 12 hours a day in front of his screens trading or watching his trades unfold, looking for opportunities, and he spends an additional 4-5 hours a day for research and planning for the next day.
Then, if Chris runs a website like I do and has to answer emails, create content for his followers, etc., we’re possibly looking at an 80 hour week for him.
For me?
Well, currently I spend 2 hours a day doing those things, and I am constantly optimizing things so that I spend less time doing them.
So in total, I only work around 22 hours a week. Worst case, it’s 25 hours. But we’re still very far from Chris’ 80 hours.
Do I have your full attention now?
Okay… let’s push this a little further: What if I told you that I lead a much happier life than Chris?
