Battle-tested over thousands of trades—they're proven strategies you execute over and over. These trades also form the foundation of trading confidence, something you might have struggled with. When you've executed the same signature trade time and time again, it becomes like any other 'doing' activity. At first, mistakes and missed steps are typical. But real progress only happens when you're made aware of what needs to change. And the only way to gain that awareness is through feedback from an experienced trader—an expert in executing those very trades. That's where ongoing feedback comes in, allowing you to refine your approach and progress quickly toward reaching your trading goals. The combination of execution, feedback and iteration is what leads to competency. And once competent, confidence follows naturally. Just like with any skill—once mastered—doubt disappears. Typically, you shift to real-time active involvement, shadowing an experienced trader and having the experience of seeing how they decipher the market and execute signature trades. This hands-on involvement solidifies your understanding, builds your skills and compresses years of advanced market expertise into months.
