It was a great job, but like most big company positions, it eventually wore me down and burned me out. I happened to talk to my dad one day after a particularly stressful day, and he asked me about work. I told him, &#8220;I can&#8217;t do this anymore.&#8221; \u00a0He asked me what I would like to do, and I told him trade full time. So he said you should quit and do it. Two weeks later I submitted\u00a0my resignation, and started my career as a trader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had been trading and investing as a hobby for several years with varying levels of success. \u00a0I had read all the standard books (How to Make Money in Stocks, the Market Wizards series, etc) and had recently started day trading on Fridays, which was one of my days off, and found that I really enjoyed it. \u00a0I knew the success rate was very low, but fortunately I was well capitalized, and had two rental properties that provided me some outside income. In addition, I left my old job on good terms, and knew I could go back there if I needed to. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My first training was thru a well known trading education company. \u00a0I diligently attended the online classes, talked to my trading coach, but wasn&#8217;t getting anywhere and didn&#8217;t feel comfortable with the direction of the training. \u00a0I talked to my Performance Coach (which I soon figured out was just a salesman) and let him know I was mostly interested in Day Trading. \u00a0When he bluntly told me Day Trading was stupid, I realized it was time to move on. \u00a0In the meantime, I was losing money 75% of my days. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had been following another popular trader for a while, and learned about an Active Trader course. \u00a0I immediately signed up. \u00a0Once again, I diligently went thru all the videos, took copious notes, and then joined their active trader chat room. \u00a0I gradually started to break even with my trading, but still was not making money and didn\u2019t feel totally confident with the material and the way they traded. \u00a0One day in the chat room someone asked if I had ever read The Playbook. \u00a0I had not, and had not even heard SMB Capital. \u00a0But it turned out to be the day my trading career started to turn around. \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42526 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Steve-Schultz.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Schultz\" width=\"414\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Steve-Schultz.jpg 631w, \/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Steve-Schultz-300x112.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I read the Playbook, bought One Good Trade, started to follow the SMB blog, and then signed up for a free ten week class SMB offered at the time. The big thing that clicked for me was Mike&#8217;s focus on finding your strengths. \u00a0It was a &#8220;Doh&#8221; moment for me because I used to facilitate a class at my old company based on the work of Marcus Buckingham. I was at the end of the year I had given myself, was still not consistently profitable, but was not quite ready to give up. \u00a0When the next SMB class came around, I jumped at the chance to take it. \u00a0It was without a doubt the best return on my investment I had ever made. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were multiple things I enjoyed. \u00a0The other Active Trader class I took was all video and workbook, so there was no chance to interact with anyone or ask questions. The fact that in the SMB\u00a0class you have the chance to interact with Steve, Mike, and Shark made a huge difference. \u00a0The combination of videos, &#8220;homework,&#8221; and live interaction was just a fantastic way to learn. \u00a0The classes were well organized and presented in a logical order, each one building on the previous class. \u00a0I ended up with 40 pages of notes (which I have since edited down to 22). \u00a0Learning about Stocks in Play and seeing real life daily examples and Trading Psychology were incredibly useful. \u00a0My favorite was the Trade Review session with Shark, where not only did he share how he does his daily trade reviews, but also outlined his entire day. \u00a0What is funny is at the time my least favorite session was Technical Analysis with Spencer. \u00a0He basically admitted that he did not use a lot of the standard technical analysis tools, but instead focuses on important price levels. \u00a0I thought it was silly he was even facilitating that portion. \u00a0It turns out that once I really started focusing on price levels and eliminated junk from my charts, my trading moved to a different level. \u00a0So Sharks&#8217;s session and that one turned out to be the most valuable to this point. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I completed the class at the end of January, and since that time I have only had seven losing weeks, and no losing months. \u00a0I am generally profitable four of five days per week. \u00a0Each profitable month I have increased my trading size by 10%. \u00a0I have actually had several days where I made more in a day than I took home in a month at my old job. \u00a0I know it is about the process and not so much about the money, but when you have bills to pay, it is nice to be making money. \u00a0I can say without a doubt that had I not gone thru the SMB\u00a0class, I would not be trading today. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, lest anyone thinks it is easy, it was not &#8211; I put a lot of time into it, probably averaging 65-70 hours per week between trading and preparing for the classes. \u00a0And I continued to put in 55-60 hours a week well after the class ended. \u00a0What is most exciting is I know I can be a lot better. \u00a0I regularly review my notes, and am continually adding visualization exercises. \u00a0I also know that it is a never ending learning process. \u00a0Just because I am consistently profitable now does not mean I will stay that way without putting in the work. \u00a0And being over 50, hopefully I can prove that you are never too old to start. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry for the long note. \u00a0I guess if I had to encapsulate everything, I would simply say, &#8220;SMB is the best investment I have ever made. \u00a0If you are willing to put in the work, it can turn you into a consistently profitable trader.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/overview\/dna-successful-trading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a>This testimonial was not compensated &#8211;\u00a0no relevant positions<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent 25 years working for a big company.
