You're not here because you don't know how to trade

You're here because you do know, and you cannot work out why you keep not doing it. You have studied the charts, backtested the strategy, read the psychology books. Then the market opens, and something else takes over.

If that sounds familiar, this was built for you.

01HOW WE GOT HERE

It started with 100 millionaire traders

In 2020 Marcus Howard had already built a hedge fund, and a question that would not go away: what actually separates the traders who make it from everyone else? So he created a private podcast and interviewed 100 millionaire traders. Not people managing millions. People who had made millions trading.

1

None of them followed a guru or a trading leader. Every one had worked out their own method.

2

They were all extremely disciplined, and they had built that discipline rather than willed it into existence.

3

They had worked out who they were as traders, then maximised that, instead of copying somebody else.

THEN ONE INTERVIEW CHANGED EVERYTHING

He was sharp on camera. Then the room closed.

One of the traders was a public figure who ran live trading calls for hundreds of people every day. On camera he was sharp, disciplined and profitable. After the recording stopped, he confided something.

The moment his live room closed, he would wildly click anything and lose thousands. Day after day.

He was dealing with grief from losing his father. The pressure of performing as a reality-show trader for three hundred people every session was squeezing him. He knew how to find the trade. Something else took over when the cameras went off.

Marcus shared exercises he had been using, drawn from years of personal development work, behavioural psychology research, and tools most traders had never heard of. Two weeks later the trader turned it around, and went the whole of January without calling a single loser.

“I took the pressure of having to be this reality show trader and pushed it aside. I spoke just to the trader that was inside. That's been a huge breakthrough in my trading life. It's changed the way I approach the game.” The trader, two weeks later

His response was: “You have to show this to other people. This is golden.” They partnered to bring the exercises to his trading community, and demand was overwhelming. That is how Tradechology started. Not from a marketing idea, but from watching a skilled trader finally break a pattern that had been costing him thousands every week.

02WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

When the psychology work actually gets done

Shamica had learned to trade by February 2021. She understood the charts and she knew the setups. On the day she blew up her account, her husband passed away.

The grief took over. She developed a fear of trading so intense she could not sit down at her computer without her emotions spiralling. She knew exactly what to do and could not do it. When she joined the coaching programme, the first five or six weeks were not about trading at all. They were about the grief, the clearing, and the fear that had built up around something she once loved.

BEFORE

Could not sit at the trading computer. Emotions would spiral. Knew what to do and could not execute. Fear controlled every decision.

AFTER

Able to trade again with clarity. Takes only her best setups. Trusts herself to follow her own rules. The chaos is gone.

“Without the psychology part and the emotional part and all the clearing work, that's where you actually get your return. The system is great because you can push the buttons, you can read the charts. But your feelings have a way of pushing you in a direction. You have to change on the inside. That's the biggest lesson I learned.” Shamica
“Fear can never take you where you want to go. It'll keep you in the same box. You have to see yourself as an abundant trader, and that you're worthy of this.” Shamica, on what she would tell other traders

The point is not what happened to her account. Shamica already knew how to trade. She had the skill before she ever worked with us. What she needed was to heal what was blocking it, so she could finally do the thing she already knew how to do.

03WHO THIS IS FOR

We don't work with everyone

This is not for people who need to learn how to trade. It is for people who already know, and need help doing what they know.

This might be you if

  • ✓You can pass evaluations but cannot seem to get payouts
  • ✓You are profitable some months, then give it all back
  • ✓You know your rules and break them under pressure
  • ✓You have tried being more disciplined and it did not work
  • ✓You feel almost there and cannot break through

This probably isn't you if

  • ×You are looking for a trading strategy or signals
  • ×You are new to trading and still learning the basics
  • ×You want somebody to tell you what trades to take
  • ×You are looking for a get-rich-quick solution
  • ×You think psychology is soft and strategy is all that matters
04THE TEAM

A trader who has been there. A psychologist who gets it.

You need someone who understands trading and someone who understands the brain. You get both.

Head of coaching

Thirty years as a clinical psychologist. Began her career as an active-duty Navy psychologist teaching performance under pressure to the Navy and Marine Corps. Author of Stronger Than Stress. Founder of StressIntel.

Her work focuses on why high performers break under pressure and how to fix it, and she brings clinical methodology to trading psychology: the same techniques used in trauma therapy, adapted for what traders actually face.

What she brings: clinical rigour, peer-reviewed methodology, and three decades of understanding how the mind works under stress.

Between them: a hedge fund manager who has traded through multiple market cycles, and a clinical psychologist who has spent three decades studying the brain under stress. Not gurus. Not motivational speakers. Two people who understand both sides of the same problem.

05WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

No guru energy. No inflated promises.

Nobody here is going to transform you. The job is helping you do the thing you already know how to do, on the days you currently don't.

REFINEMENT, NOT RESCUE

You don't need an overhaul

The work builds on what is already paying you. What you need is targeted work on the specific barrier stopping you, which is why the diagnosis comes first.

SCIENCE, NOT MOTIVATION

Every technique has a paper behind it

Memory reconsolidation, bilateral processing, somatic work. Not positive thinking. The sources are named on the science page.

DATA, NOT GUESSING

Your own read on yourself is often wrong

OTIS shows your actual tendencies rather than the ones you believe you have, computed from your real fills instead of asked in a questionnaire.
