Education & mentoring onlyA trader who learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
I started trading in 2000 with the enthusiasm of a beginner: quick wins, costly mistakes, and lessons that cost me a significant portion of my net worth. That loss became my real education.
Instead of walking away, I invested in mastering the fundamentals. I developed a disciplined approach to technical analysis, market forecasting and risk management. Today I trade FTSE and NYSE full-time as both a day and swing trader, and I teach others with clarity, not complexity.
Through StockMentor UK, I provide personalised mentorship to aspiring investors at all levels. My approach strips away the jargon and replaces it with practical strategy, real accountability, and a mindset built for long-term wealth.
Three principles behind every programme.
Every student gets the same foundation: simplicity, accountability and long-term thinking.
Simplicity First
No jargon. No complexity for its own sake. The markets reward clear thinking, so that’s what I teach. Every concept is explained in plain language until it clicks.
Discipline Over Emotion
Investing well is a process, not a feeling. We work on the mindset and the systems that remove emotion from your decisions, so your strategy runs consistently.
Long-Term Wealth
I don’t teach quick wins. I teach you to build a portfolio and a strategy that compounds over time, one that works alongside your ISA, SIPP and long-term financial goals.
