Learn to trade with Anthony Beardsell

In 2010 I quit my job and decided to start living my life on my own terms. I wanted to earn a living doing things that I enjoyed, have time to myself to pursue my hobbies and spend time with my family and friends.

Trading certainly fit all of this criteria for me. It was exciting, challenging, I could trade as and when I had time. It had been in my mind to day trade as a home based trader for a while, I had been trading my own funds and managing others money successfully for 20+ years.

The beginning – I doubled my money in less than 12 months

I had been working in financial markets for over 20 years, managing other people’s money as well as doing my own trading on the side. I was training and coaching teams of financial advisers and also had experience of with fund and wealth management in my last executive role. In 2009/10 I doubled my investments trading the Stockmarket bounce after the financial crisis in 2008. 

I set about learning the art of shorter term trading, day trading as a professional. For me this didn’t mean doing it full time. I had my business to run and I loved the work that I was doing training and coaching others. For me it meant learning what the professional traders did, how they traded and emulating them when I was at my trading desk.

• In 2012 I really dove deep into learning about the Technical Analysis (price chart analysis) side of short term trading in financial markets. I decided at that time that this aspect is key to success in short term trading. I decided to become an expert in this field.
• I began a modelling project (using my NLP skills) to learn how to trade as a professional trader. Statistics show that up to 90% of day traders fail, I wanted to start turning this percentage around.
• I love helping people create success (and have a strong sense of contribution to others). I want to do that by helping people learn to trade, helping traders become successful and make a good living from trading.

My mission was to:

• discover how the 10% of successful traders create their success,
• find out what makes a consistently profitable, professional home based trader.
• implement the skills and techniques successfully myself.
• coach and train others (this is my true passion in life).

Over three years I studied top professional traders. I coached them, I read their books, I took numerous trading training courses, I analysed chart after chart and I traded my own account as I learned. Trading became my fascination and my passion.

Gradually I put together the pieces of the jigsaw that makes a professional trader as I learned the secrets of trading, the techniques and systems that top traders use to win consistently in the markets.

From what I learned I created a formula for successful trading, an approach to trading that provides replicable results. I began to day trade professionally and make a living from day trading. I continued to develop and extend  my expertise in the Technical Analysis approach to trading.

I created the Excellence Assured Trading Academy and our Day Trading & Swing Trading course and also our Forex Trading course.

I have a love for coaching and training others. Helping you create your success story inspires and motivates me. I now coach and mentor traders of all levels.

Modelling professional traders

My moto is: if you want to excel at something then you must find out what the best in the business are doing and do those things yourself.

Through working as an NLP Master Trainer I had learned the art of modelling. I set about modelling some of the most successful traders in the business. I interviewed them, I worked with them. I eventually discovered that they all did certain things, approached trading mentally in the same way. Plus I learned their trading systems and how they managed their trades.

Trading Stars Interview – with Anthony Beardsell

Become a consistently profitable trader

I started trading profitably with one system and then another and then another. I applied what worked for others to my own systems and compiled a set of systems that worked consistently for me. I developed a set of rules for my systems, if-then statements that can be applied to different markets at different times.

It is my aim to share all that I learned about Day Trading and Swing Trading with you in a way that makes sense to you and provide a resource that you can come back to again and again as you develop as a trader. Most of the information is free and I hope that you get good use from it.

I have also developed some premium (paid) options for those of you interested in becoming a Consistently Profitable Trader. My Gold trading system, our Day Trading & Swing Trading training course and Forex Trading Course provide full details of the trading systems that work for me and how you can apply them to suit you as you develop your own trading style.

Trading isn’t about finding hidden treasure. There isn’t one system that works every time and for everyone. Copying exactly what others do will lead to losses. Trading is tricky. It takes dedication and hard work to become successful (what profession doesn’t?). However earnings are unlimited in trading, the freedom is exquisite, for those who make it the lifetime rewards are well worth the effort.

Learning to trade for me started as a challenge and became a passion. I hope to share some of that passion with you over these web pages.

Take advantage of your natural edge over the markets

Run your profits and cut your losses – your trading edge

There is one major advantage that a home based trader has over the market. You decide when to enter and when to exit your trades.

Even if your trading system wins only 50% of the time you can still make money! This is your primary edge over the market.

Whatever system you use in your trading, particularly as you learn to trade, make sure that it takes advantage of this edge.

The key to successful trading is to take a small risk with a view to gaining a much larger reward.
