Today we’d like to introduce you to Mr. Black
Hi Mr. , we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
All three of us worked on the professional side of the financial industry at different investment firms, hedge funds, financial education institutions, etc. and we ended up meeting each other through mutual acquaintances. Several years ago, we started TradePhantoms as a private, invitation-only trading community amongst professional traders so that we could work together to find more actionable trade opportunities in the market. Regardless of experience level, no one single trader can watch all markets 24 hours a day, but, if you have multiple experienced traders working together, they are capable of finding and sharing more trade opportunities than they would find on their own. That private trading community still exists to this day in TradePhantoms Elite.
In 2020, the TradePhantoms team took our 55+ years of combined trading experience and started developing a curriculum to teach retail traders how to trade like professionals from zero up to advanced level trading in all asset classes. In April of 2023, TradePhantoms Pro, was officially launched to the public.
Since its inception, TradePhantoms Pro has had over 1,000 members and enjoys a 4.8 out of 5.0 star rating on TrustPilot, we teach and live trade all major asset classes with our members, including Stocks, Options, Futures, Forex and Crypto. It has been a really rewarding journey so far and we’ve seen many members reach consistency with their trading, which is awesome!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Fortunately, it has been very smooth so far. We’ve managed to build a great community of over 1,000 traders who are focused on learning to trade and invest and willing to help each other in the process. At this point, we’re nearly reaching the two year mark since we launched TradePhantoms Pro and we have multiple members that now trade full-time and help foster development in the newer members who are just starting out.
The only real challenge we face occasionally with new members is the commitment level. Learning to trade and invest is a very valuable skill set. I’m a firm believer that anyone can learn to do it as it’s very process oriented and systematic. When A happens you do B, when B happens you do C and so on. So it’s not beyond anyone’s abilities as it’s not a matter of intelligence but more a matter of dedication and commitment. If someone is willing to take the time to learn all of the steps and then practice implementing those steps over and over in the exact same manner without letting their emotions dictate their decisions, they can learn to do to this.
Sometimes we will encounter people that are interested in learning to trade, but from a very superficial level. They are essentially looking for a “shortcut” or some simple “trick” that makes trading easy and that is simply not the case. There is no one simple trick, there is no “shortcut”. Learning to trade takes time and effort. I draw a comparison with learning how to speak a foreign language. What I mean by that is anyone can learn to speak a foreign language if they wish, but, there is no “Cliff’s Notes” version of it. Either you take the time to learn and you practice implementing those techniques or you don’t. To be clear, that doesn’t mean you need to do it full-time. When I first started trading I worked a full-time job and would trade for 30 minutes to an hour every evening, but you do need to treat it like a business and make it a part of your routine. I recommend that people treat it like going to the gym and dedicate a few hours a week towards training their “trading muscles.”
As you know, we’re big fans of TradePhantoms. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
TradePhantoms specializes in teaching people to trade the way professional traders trade. Not just simply understanding basic technical analysis and fundamental analysis (stuff people learn over at YouTube University), but really understanding areas of institutional order flow (where the major financial institutions are buying and selling) so that we can buy and sell together with these major financial institutions.
I think what sets us apart from many other companies in our industry is that we actually teach people how to trade in live weekly classes and we trade live with our members. We don’t simply provide people with potential trade setups (aka signals) and a few recordings of lessons as most companies in this industry do. We actually have structured coursework that teaches people from zero up to advanced level trading in all of the different asset classes and then we show them how to implement these techniques in real live market conditions in our live trading rooms. We also trade all major asset classes, including Stocks, Options, Futures, Forex and Crypto, so membership covers a very complete understanding of the financial markets. Our background of having worked on the professional side of the industry also gives members insights that they normally wouldn’t have access to unless they themselves worked in the industry.
Finally, one of the really unique things we offer is a results-based money-back guarantee. We can never guarantee a member profitability or success as that is against federal law and also, quite frankly, outside of our control. We can’t force people to put in the work. But, we are willing to put our money where our mouth is as far as what we do in our live trading rooms, so we actually a provide a money-back guarantee based on the results of the trades we take and provide in our trade picks (see the website for more details on terms and conditions). That’s about as straightforward as I can make it for anyone that is interested in learning to trade. As I say to people who attend our complimentary trading workshop, we can’t guarantee your success, but we are fully willing to prove to you that we know how to trade, and if you’re willing to take the time and effort to learn from us, we will teach you our approach!
If people are interested in learning more about what we do, we invite them to attend one of our complimentary trading and investing workshops. They can register for free on our website: tradephantoms.com
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
The introduction of AI into the financial markets is one that may have an impact over the next few years. We already incorporate a lot of AI into our chart analysis as you always have to keep up with any sort of technological changes. As it stands, I don’t see traders being replaced by AI anytime soon as AI is more fundamentally driven thus far, but, it has been very helpful in identifying certain important changes in the market, such as sector rotation, in a more timely manner. If the crypto market space becomes regulated, that will also change the landscape of the financial markets to an extent.
