VTP Stage 5 is a 4-week group coaching initiative that will help support traders going through their funding challenges and help prepare those who are considering taking such a challenge.
It will consist of 8 weekly Coaching Calls (every Wednesday and Sunday) throughout April 2024 providing education, insight and support on winning your challenges, and developing your trading business. As always, it’ll be based on the foundations of the 4M’s of Trading. (If you’re unable to attend then, the sessions will be recorded for access.)
You’ll also receive 1 x 45 minute 1-2-1 Coaching call as part of the group in order to tighten up your own trading approach.
By the end of the 8 sessions, you’ll have:
An understanding of the Prop Shop/ Trader Funding landscape and Business Models
Greater understanding of what’s required to both pass and maintain your funded account.
Insight into whether your own trading method will help or hinder you in a funded account world.
Greater knowledge of your own strengths and weaknesses as a trader and fund manager
The creation of your own Personal Trading Plan to pass your challenge.
Learning how to manage yourself in order to maintain good performance.
Creation of your own Buddy-Buddy Trader Support Networks to help you in your journey.
If you are currently struggling with a challenge, or considering trying a challenge, or fancy an opportunity to be part of a trading group then this would be the Group Coaching Call for yourselves.
I think we can all agree that regardless of what you trade it’s been an eventful start to 2024!
It’s about now as traders come towards their first 6-8 weeks of the new calendar year, and look forward to the end of Q1, that you can take stock of whether you’ve had a good, bad or ugly start to your trading year.
If you’ve had a good start, then well-done you and keep working hard. Do not rest on your laurels.
If you’ve had a challenging start, well remember we are only a few weeks in, so there’s plenty of opportunity to turn it around.
If you’ve realised that you could do with some support, then it’s time to book a 1-2-1 Trader Development Session (TDS) with myself.
Twice a year I offer opportunities for traders to work with me to improve their trading, and evolve to their next level as a trader.
These sessions will consist of intensive bespoke 1-2-1 educating, mentoring and coaching session tailored towards your own requirements. I’ve worked with hundreds (perhaps thousands) of traders over the last 16 years that I’ve been coaching. I’ve worked with individuals ranging from complete beginners to guys at Tier 1 banks and hedge funds, so I have plenty of experience in knowing what traders require to move them to the next level.
Maybe you require some technical education? Maybe you require help in honing your edge? Perhaps you require help with your Risk Management? Maybe it’s your Trading Psychology that needs some work? Whatever your requirement or current situation I can assure you that I’ve seen it all! All the sessions are confidential and based solely around you improving your trading performance so that you may evolve to your next level as a trader.
Regardless of your experience level you’ll benefit from having someone objectively review your present position, remove your trading weaknesses, and build upon your strengths. Having an experienced mentor to hold you accountable for your actions is an immensely strong proposition and can help you make faster progress.
One way or another we all pay for our education in the markets either through a formal working relationship with a mentor, or through informal trial and error costing us time and money. A few years back I was interviewed for a Trading TV channel and this was one of the topics I spoke about. You can watch it here: Education in trading.
Furthermore, I’ll be providing clients a copy of ‘The Wallachie Fan’ – this is a collection of some of my simple Trading Tactics for trading continuations, reversals, and news events. That is a helpful little document of information.
Normally I charge £497 for such one-off 3 hour 1-2-1 sessions however for members of my Traders Network I’m offering a February deal of a reduced price of £250.
What can I say? Everyone loves a deal, don’t they?
There will only be 4-5 slots so if you’re interested in improving your trading, and evolving to your next level as a trader, then reply to me here, or email paul@FXTraderPaul.com or DM me on twitter: @FXTraderPaul to discuss your trading.

Back in the 80’s Frankie Goes To Hollywood sang ” War – what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!”
Clearly shareholders of European defence stocks in the last few years would probably disagree with the sentiments of Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Somehow I suspect that Holly Johnson and the lads from FGTH are unlikely to have any of their own investments in same said stock. However whilst the world has focused on Mag 7 US Tech stocks these European Defence Stocks have been printing record moves.

When I look through my inbox of messages from traders there is increasingly one recurring theme that traders are searching for support with; namely help passing their funded trader challenges.
It’s a sad statement that most private retail traders are under-capitalised for their own goals and expectations. This leads towards over-sizing positions or attempting to hit ‘home-runs’ on every trades. It leads to a real “Hero-or-Zero” mentality, which rarely ends well for the trader as they chase outsized returns.
The trading Industry has recognised this, hence the recent proliferation of Trader Funding companies, or Prop-Shops, over the last 4-6 years which look to fund a trader in return for a fee and passing a trading performance challenge.
These tests usually revolve around the trader generating a double-digit return in a month (or over several months) with the trader then being funded to a level dependent on their initial purchase. The funding increases as, and if, their performance continues.
To be fair, it’s a model that can really benefit some traders, if they are prepared for the challenge of a) delivering such returns and b) trading Other People’s Money (OPM).
However, far too many people ‘crash and burn’ because they are not prepared in any way for the challenge. Or they pass the challenge and then blow-up when trading other people’s funds at a size that they are not used to.
This is where the VTP Stage 5 will focus. It’s a 4-week group coaching initiative that will help support traders going through their funding challenges and help prepare those who are considering taking such a challenge.
It will consist of 2 weekly Coaching Calls throughout April 2024 providing education, insight and support on winning your challenges, and developing your trading business. As always, it’ll be based on the foundations of the 4M’s of Trading. (If you’re unable to attend then, the sessions will be recorded for access.)
You’ll also receive 1 x 45 minute 1-2-1 Coaching call as part of the group in order to tighten up your own trading approach.
By the end of the 8 sessions, you’ll have:
An understanding of the Prop Shop/ Trader Funding landscape and Business Models
Greater understanding of what’s required to both pass and maintain your funded account.
Insight into whether your own trading method will help or hinder you in a funded account world.
Greater knowledge of your own strengths and weaknesses as a trader and fund manager
The creation of your own Personal Trading Plan to pass your challenge.
Learning how to manage yourself in order to maintain good performance.
Creation of your own Buddy-Buddy Trader Support Networks to help you in your journey.
If you are currently struggling with a challenge, or considering trying a challenge, or fancy an opportunity to be part of a trading group then this would be the Group Coaching Call for yourselves.
As always there’s a cost implication. For the 8 Group Coaching Calls and additional 1-2-1 Coaching call the cost will be £247. However as this is the first one, I am offering a discount of £147 to members of the VTP and Meetup Trader Groups. The cost will therefore be £97 for the course.
The group will only be for a few people and it will be based on a first-come first-served basis. If you want to talk to us about it then contact me paul@FXTraderPaul.com to register your interest.
