Little-known ways professional trading firms make elite traders – And how you can too

Imagine you've joined a professional trading firm—what would it look like?

But before I show you, why does anyone go this route?

Because it gets you off the 'win some, lose more' trading hamster wheel—fast-tracking your transition to confident and consistent trading.

Here's how that looks:

Step 1: You uncover a wealth of market knowledge that most traders never discover.

They don't know it—don't understand it—which ends with costing them loss after loss.

Does that mean they're unknowingly passing their money onto you?

Not just yet. Knowledge alone doesn't make money. It's what you do with it that matters. Which brings us to Step 2...

Step 2: What's the easiest way to win again at trading? Win where you've won before.

Let me explain:

You're shown proven trading strategies and the skills required to implement them.

These are your keys to the vault to print money—so long as...

Step 3: You trade those strategies over and over until you reach consistency.

But you're not on your own:

To fast-track your progress, you'll execute these strategies live—guided by an expert who knows them inside out.

Why does it matter?

Trading is a sophisticated skill, best mastered under live conditions with someone who's been there, done that—pointing out what otherwise takes years to decipher.

And propelling your trading forward is personalised feedback.

It's a crucial step because when you don't know what you don't know, blind spots stay hidden, and you miss the changes needed to win. Make sense?

Now, all of this is a multi-month process. For some, it's longer.

I'm curious if you're familiar with a trader who made eight figures two years in a row only a few years back.

But as Trillium's most successful trader, he was a losing trader every month for two years. It goes to show—failure can't cope with perseverance.

And while that all sounds great—here's a question for you...

Right now, are you already past Step 3? Between Steps 1 and 2?

Or is it a case of not even past Step 1?

You know, a lot of people think they can work out Step 2 themselves without realising they have considerable gaps in Step 1.

What are the odds they'll make it? Exactly.

Not to mention—those trading strategies you're shown? They're built on thousands of hours of real trading experience.

Got a spare decade to devote to working it out yourself?

But here's the thing:

Because trading can be remarkably lucrative, it's fiercely competitive.

Hypothetically—even if you do have all the right information—without experience guiding you, you'll likely run out of time, money or persistence before you make it. Agree?

You see:

Running your own trading business, you understand...

With a low barrier to entry and allure of big money—there's a never-ending gravy train of people handing over their money to you because they haven't completed Steps 1, 2, and 3.

And it's as straightforward as that.

It's similar to buying into a franchise, where you pay for proven systems and expert training.

You know it's ironic. Putting in the reps can seem like a grind, but once you're there, maintaining them takes considerably less effort.

What happens next?

Post reps, you get on with running your business.

The following will give you an idea of what that looks like day-to-day

Take your seat at the nerve centre of your business and prepare for the day ahead.

And while each day is unique, the steps remain the same.

Monday

Blue lines = profits. Yellow lines = cost the business.

Tuesday

Blue lines = profits. Yellow lines = cost the business.

Wednesday

Blue lines = profits. Yellow lines = cost the business.

In summary

When you see Steps 1, 2, and 3 laid out, you can see a path forward with light at the end of the tunnel. Right?

And while joining a professional firm has its benefits, it’s a cutthroat environment, and many don’t last. More on that in a moment, but first...

What if there’s a better option?

A better option might be working with someone who provides a similar pathway, having walked those steps first-hand at a professional trading firm.

These cutthroat environments are by design—just like the markets.

It’s a brutal experience for the uninitiated—and I know you know what I mean.

Before you can truly benefit from the support and guidance of an experienced professional trader, it's crucial to first know and feel the predatory nature of the markets. It’s a required part of your trading journey.

To finish on a personal note:

The pain of regret burns deeper and longer than the pain of investing financially, emotionally, and time-wise into something important to you.
