Mentoring for Newer Traders

Here’s how the Mentoring Program works

Foundation Meetings:

First, in 8-10 one-hour meetings, I make an assessment of a trader’s experience and his problems.

For newer traders, I give several specific setups that should yield 6-10 trades a day. These setups give new traders a giant head start and a rational starting point from which to build and develop their own unique trading style. We, then, establish reasonable short term and longer term goals for improvement in the trader’s performance. Together, the trader and I develop a detailed written trading plan including set-ups, sizing, risk and loss limits as well as strategies to exploit winning trades and maximize winning days.

Four-day-a-week meetings for four weeks:

After our 8 one-hour Foundation Meetings, we will speak for half an hour each day, Monday through Thursday, for the next four weeks. During each day’s meeting, we will go over a chart marked with the trades the trader took, establish strategies for improvement, and make an outline for the next day. Our goal during these four weeks is for the trader to become competent and confident in executing our mutually-developed Trading Plan. In many of these sesssions, we will trade together during the live market session with you placing the trades and me coaching you live, one-on-one.

Twice weekly meetings for 12 weeks:

After the four week, four-day-a-week half hour sessions, we will have established our plan and our goals. For the next 12 weeks, the trader and I will meet twice a week to move his trading forward: hone his understanding of the market; establish and monitor his discipline; oversee his implementation of the agreed Trading Plan; and make plans for the trader’s long term growth.

After the completion of the program, outlined above, I remain available for ongoing coaching and consultation on an hourly basis.

My background

I have spent my entire adult life in the futures trading business. Coaching professional traders is the exciting and rewarding culmination of my career in futures trading. I do not know of anyone with my extensive, long-term successful background in futures trading who coaches traders. Nor do I know anyone who has my track record of success with futures traders.

What I look for in new mentoring traders

As new mentoring program traders, I look for traders:

  • who have a good chance of reaching meaningful, consistent success in futures trading;
  • who I will likely be able to help reach their trading goals; and
  • who will be enjoyable and stimulating for me.

Cost of the program

The cost of the Mentoring Program is $6,000, which can be paid $3,000 to start followed by two payments of $1,500 payable in 30 days and 60 days, thereafter. After the initial 48 sessions, I am available as a mentor on an hourly basis with the trader buying blocks of 5 hours for $1,500. Mentoring charges are payable in advance and may be paid by check, bank wire or by Visa, MasterCard or Discover through PayPal, below.

Derivative transactions, including futures, are complex and carry a high degree of risk. They are intended for sophisticated investors and are not suitable for everyone.

Mentoring for Struggling Traders

Here’s how the Mentoring Program works

Foundation Meetings:

First, in 8-10 one-hour meetings, I make an assessment of a trader’s experience and his problems.

For struggling traders, the trader and I design a comprehensive plan to help the trader overcome his problems in trading (fear, uneven discipline, lack of confidence, etcetera) and, at the same time, leverage the trader’s positive experience and develop strategies to move his trading to the highest levels of consistency and profitability.

Four-day-a-week meetings for four weeks:

After our 8 one-hour Foundation Meetings, we will speak for half an hour each day, Monday through Thursday, for the next four weeks. During each day’s meeting, we will go over a chart marked with the trades the trader took, establish strategies for improvement, and make an outline for the next day.

Mentoring for Already Successful Traders

Here’s how the Mentoring Program works Foundation Meetings:

First, in 8-10 one-hour meetings, I make an assessment of a trader’s experience and his problems.

For experienced, already successful traders, the trader and I design a program that begins with the trader’s already successful trading strategies and adds opportunistic trade sizing, structured risk management, and trader accountability strategies to help the experienced trader move his trading to the next important level in terms of profitability and consistency.

Four-day-a-week meetings for four weeks:

After our 8 one-hour Foundation Meetings, we will speak for half an hour each day, Monday through Thursday, for the next four weeks.

Barry Crockett’s recommendation

I have been trading for a couple of years, attempting to teach myself without much success. I’ve always been able to turn a profit, but never able to hold onto my gains inevitably I gave it all back and then some… generous soul that I am. Upon learning of Jeff Quinto’s Mentoring Program, I subscribed immediately. After he untangled some of my messy trading ideas I started to see positive results almost immediately. Jeff has a unique ability to impart his vast experience in a clear, concise manner along with a good dose of humor. He immediately sets you on the correct course – build a business plan, define trading objectives, address your trading issues, meet head on and resolve all those “little whispers” running around in your head… doubt… fear… greed… indecisiveness… frustration… and more.

I believe the most powerful aspect of Jeff’s program is the one-on-one sessions (52 of them). Each day he reviews your trades. He zeros in on the real issue immediately focusing you on the best solution. Jeff has an amazing wealth of knowledge and experience in the markets. He is uniquely qualified as Coach and Mentor using this knowledge and keen market intellect as building blocks necessary to strengthen your trading skills. It bears repeating his wonderful sense of humor and humility is a breath of fresh air.

I am about two thirds through the program and I can see dramatic improvement. I know this will become a long term relationship as I continue to use Jeff’s Mentoring services.

Thank you for a truly valuable program,   Barry N. Crockett

Chris from Sonoma recommendation

I had done newsletter investing for many years.  But had grown tired of simply watching choices being made for me and wanted to learn more about the markets by doing some day trading.   So, I put a lot of my spare time into reading, studying and attending various trading and psychological transformation seminars.  Eventually I felt ready.  My day trading adventure lasted all of twelve trading days before I decided to lick my wounds and save my remaining trading capital.  Something very essential was missing and I thought a trading coach might help me identify how I to improve my trading.   So, I sifted through the many coaching and mentoring offerings mentioned in trader’s forums, on the web and those I ran into through word of mouth.  Eventually, through a very respected source, I found Jeff’s website.  I was immediately drawn to the structure of his program and his long experience, directly trading in the markets.  But I only decided to sign up after talking to him about his systematic and continuous improvement approach trading.     “So here we are.”  These words often start our sessions and have come to represent for me Jeff’s direct, yet subtle mentoring style.   For to me, this phrase reminds me to stay focused, attend to the market, my trading plan, and move beyond excessive judgments about “mistaken trades.”   Now, four months into the program, Jeff has helped me create my own unique personal trading approach and a confidence to trade the e-minis successfully.  It is not because he handed me the perfect setup or a magic indicator.  It is because he helped me cultivate an understanding to recognize where to place the trade, when to get out and develop a courage to stay in.  I can’t say this process was easy, that it matched any of my preconceived ideas about trading or that I have nothing left to learn.  I can only say that this very satisfying place in my trading journey would not have been possible without Jeff’s experienced guidance, warm personality and wonderful sense of humor.  He really has a great knack for working at one’s own level of understanding and pace. 

Jeff, I am grateful for your teachings and look forward to our continued relationship.

John B’s description of his experience working with Jeff

Just to let you know, I am totally rejuvenated now. MY mindset has changed 180 degrees on some money management concepts I always steadfastly resisted before. My “contrarianism” was useful for me before to build total confidence and self reliance in my scalping strategies. But now I clearly recognize the need for much more intelligent structuring of risk control as a higher priority than I gave to it previously. The bonus I now see for my strategizing, is that the improved structure facilitates much better “bang for the buck” in terms of potential for every contract I put on.

Also, it opens up the advantages of trading other contracts, such as the Russell, Dow, and Dax. Now I evaluate my plan for any market with the emphasis on how to work the money management, with totally different possibilities emerging from the entry exit parameters.

Although I came to you primarily to find ways to better define risk, and to grow in capability for advantages of more profitable position sizing, I am finding that your mentoring has benefited all the other aspects of my trading—-strategies, precision, aggressiveness, limits to risk, better gain per contract and per trade, and so on down the list. The biggest bonus is, it seems to have opened up a flood of creativity and a freedom from “ruts”. 

It is quite remarkable for me to see all the effects from the process you facilitate so effortlessly and skillfully. But now as I experience it, it all makes sense. You are like a rock, grounded in the most important principles which ensure intelligent trading. So no matter what I could throw at you, you could always logically frame my perspectives against the back drop of simple trade management principles.

Little by little I started to see a vastly expanded set of variables as a framework for my own good and bad habits in trading. Somehow, out of this process, it becomes much easier to just drop anything which is too questionable in its value.

It appears you are really good at guiding the horse to the vicinity of the water, but instead of trying to make him drink, this horse can’t wait to dive in the water. That reflects great teachership. Because most likely anyone could tell me (probably like most traders) anything, but I would never get it, unless I work through it for my own conviction. Your skill and experience mentoring, drawing out the discoveries, seems to result in the effortless accomplishment of all the objectives.

Thank you so much for your wonderful guidance, support, and sharing of so much. I am looking forward to great things to report in my progress and further work together down the road.

Recommendation of William from London

Jeff has been my mentor for 8 months now. I first started as a participant in his mentoring program. This phase lasted 3 months, during which I talked to him on a daily basis. I am now talking to him twice a month.

When I first contacted Jeff, I had been researching trading strategies for some time. In addition, I had been working in the industry for 3 years. I started my career on the execution trading desk of a major US investment bank in Tokyo, and I am now working as an analyst for a hedge fund in London. Despite the appearance, I did not find these jobs fulfilling, and I wanted to go on my own and become a successful independent trader.

I contacted Jeff, and our first discussion gave me a very good impression. Jeff was very friendly, and I could feel that he had a real passion for coaching younger traders and helping them become more successful. When we hung up, I knew that I would be able to learn a lot from him, and that it would be fun. And the actual experience exceeded these expectations.

Naively, I thought at the beginning that he would teach me a strategy with an edge that would easily turn me into a profitable trader. This naive thinking was the result of what we are taught in school, and later at work – learn the method well from your teacher/boss, execute it without mistake, and you will be rewarded. Trading is very different, and Jeff really helped me understand this.

He did give me a framework to work from, but it was just a starting point, from which he helped me discover and craft a unique trading strategy adapted to my personality and way of looking at the market.

More than teaching me a system, Jeff helped me understand trading and the mindset that goes with it. This is the most valuable thing for a beginner, and it helped me develop quickly and avoid a lot of costly mistakes.

At the beginning, we covered the basics – his view of the markets, and the basic rules that a trader should observe to maximize his chances of success. Every day, I drew on my charts the trades I had made on the simulator, and Jeff gave me feedback on each trade. This interaction was extremely valuable, as it showed me how a successful trader thinks, and instilled in me the right mindset and attitude.

I believe that what differentiates consistently profitable traders to consistent losers is the mental attitude, and this is the most valuable thing I learnt from Jeff.

At the beginning, Jeff also helped me write my trading plan, and as my trading developed and more questions came up (such as, for instance, shifting from a system with fixed profit targets to flexible profit targets, how to improve the profit/loss ratio, how many contracts I should trade, how large should the account be, maximum daily / weekly / monthly losses, etc.), he was there to discuss and guide. He also helped me write a very precise and logical trading plan, which had a very positive impact on my trading.

At the beginning, I was making more than 20 trades in the afternoon session, and was consistently losing money. My trading was relatively random, not disciplined, and characterized by psychological pain.

Now, I am consistently profitable, and the pain is gone – trading has become fun and rewarding. This could happen in 8 months thanks to Jeff’s guidance and dedication. I still have a lot of work from here, and a lot to learn from Jeff. Our bi-monthly discussions are as interesting and beneficial as our first meetings. I think any person seriously considering trading as a profession should learn with a mentor, and Jeff is definitely one of the best out there. Print This Post Print This Post

Risk Disclosure Statement for Futures and Options

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in futures and options. In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. Trading in futures and options is not suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.

Futures

1. Effect of “Leverage” or “Gearing”

Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of Initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract so that transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

2. Risk-reducing orders or strategies

The placing of certain orders (e.g., “stop-loss” orders, where permitted under local law, or “stop-limit” orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions may make it Impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as “spread” and “straddle” positions, may be as risky as taking simple “long” or “short” positions.

Options

3. Variable degree of risk

Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and sellers of options should familiarize themselves with the type of option (i.e., put or call) which they contemplate trading and the associated risks. You should calculate the extent to which the value of the options must increase for your position to become profitable, taking into account the premium and all transaction costs. The purchaser of options may offset or exercise the options or allow the options to expire. The exercise of an option results either in a cash settlement or in the purchaser acquiring or delivering the underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the purchaser will acquire a futures position with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures above). If the purchased options expire worthless, you will suffer a total loss of your investment which will consist of the option premium plus transaction costs. If you are contemplating purchasing deep-out-of-the-money options, you should be aware that the chance of such options becoming profitable ordinarily is remote. Selling (“writing” or “granting”) an option generally entails considerably greater risk then purchasing options. Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in excess of that amount. The seller will be liable for additional margin to maintain the position if the market moves unfavorably. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obligated to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the seller will acquire a position in a future with associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures above). If the option is “covered” by the seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying interest or a future or another option, the risk may be reduced. If the option is not covered, the risk of loss can be unlimited. Certain exchanges in some jurisdictions permit deferred payment of the option premium, exposing the purchaser to liability for margin payments not exceeding the amount of the premium. The purchaser is still subject to the risk of losing the premium and transaction costs. When the option is exercised or expires, the purchaser is responsible for any unpaid premium outstanding at that time.

Additional risks common to futures and options

4. Terms and conditions of contracts

You should ask the firm with which you deal about the terms and conditions of the specific futures or options which you are trading and associated obligations (e.g., the circumstances under which you may become obligated to make or take delivery of the underlying interest of a futures contract and, in respect of options, expiration dates and restrictions on the time for exercise). Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts (including the exercise price of an option) may be modified by the exchange or clearing house to reflect changes in the underlying interest.

5. Suspension or restriction of trading and pricing relationships

Market conditions (e.g., illiquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of certain markets (e.g., the suspension of trading in any contract or contract month because of price limits or “circuit breakers”) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect transactions or liquidate/offset positions. If you have sold options, this may increase the risk of loss. Further, normal pricing relationships between the underlying interest and the future, and the underlying interest and the option may not exist. This can occur when, for example, the futures contract underlying the option is subject to price limits while the option is not. The absence of an underlying reference price may make it difficult to judge “fair” value.

6. Deposited cash and property

You should familiarize yourself with the protections accorded money or other property you deposit for domestic and foreign transactions, particularly in the event of a firm insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which you may recover your money or property may be governed by specific legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property which has been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall.

7. Commission and other charges

Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.

8. Transactions in other jurisdictions

Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade you should enquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions. Your local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm with which you deal for details about the types of redress available in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before you start to trade.

9. Currency risks

The profit or loss in transactions In foreign currency-denominated contracts (whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction) will be affected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.

10. Trading facilities

Most open-outcry and electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order-routing, execution, matching, registration or clearing of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. Your ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, the market, the clearing house and/or member firms. Such limits may vary: you should ask the firm with which you deal for details in this respect.

11. Electronic trading

Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading in an open-outcry market but also from trading on other electronic trading systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.

12. Off-exchange transactions

In some jurisdictions, and only then In restricted circumstances, firms are permitted to effect off-exchange transactions. The firm with which you deal may be acting as your counterparty to the transaction. It may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk. For these reasons, these transactions may involve increased risks. Off-exchange transactions may be less regulated or subject to a separate regulatory regime. Before you undertake such transactions, you should familiarize yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks.

A word about risk
Trading futures contracts may not be suitable for all investors. You may lose a substantial amount of money in a very short period of time. The amount you may lose is potentially unlimited and can exceed the amount you originally deposit with your broker. This is because trading is highly leveraged, with a relatively small amount of money used to establish a position in assets having a much greater value. If you are uncomfortable with this level of risk, you should not trade these contracts.
