The Market Awareness Profile (MAP) focuses on the Five Factor Model of Personality and is based on the idea that personality can be described and measured on five broad dimensions:

  • Openness
  • Conscientiousness
  • Extroversion
  • Agreeableness
  • Neuroticism

The MAP consists of 120 questions and will take about 20 minutes to answer. Your results are presented to you in both a narrative and graphical form. I highly recommend that you also partake in the analysis of your trade history as well. When combining the personality profile and trade history together, these metrics truly provide a wealth of information about you and your trading style.


Trading Metrics are a  record of your trading history can be one of the best indicators you have at your disposal. Perhaps the metrics are what you traded or perhaps when you traded it. Here are a few questions that should give you an idea of the value trade metrics can provide:

  • Was the market trending up/down or chop at that time?
  • What was the sector that the stock belongs to doing at that time?
  • What time of the day, day of the week, month, and year did the trade occur?
  • How many shares (lots) did you trade?
  • What does your equity curve look like?

Metrics like these are invaluable to the market masters as they know what style and strategies are working for them. As an example, metrics could show that Monday's and Friday's are your worst trading days. In addition, the afternoons are especially taking a toll on your equity curve. Examples like this are woven into your trading history and I've designed a way to gather that information, process it, and learn from it.

Your trading metrics report contains both a narrative and graphical representation of your winning days v. losing days, winning trades v. losing trades, hour of the day and day of the week winners v. losers and more.


Coaching for market participants is much like the coaching of athletes in that you provide the desire and resources and I provide the support needed to help you become a market master.

As your coach I promise to:

  • Fully understand where you are in your market participation and where you'd like to be
  • Be honest
  • Treat you as a professional with mutual respect
  • Remain structured
  • Listen

What I will not do as your coach:

  • Work harder than you
  • Be a Cheerleader
  • Milk you
  • Cheat

Coaching sessions are 45-minutes long and are sold individually or in blocks of three.
