I’m a stock trading coach…
I help people learn how to trade profitably, confidently, and with a clear strategy, whether they’re just getting started or trying to scale their results to the next level.
But before I get into my experience working with Certified Closers and why I decided to bring them into my business, I want to give you a little bit of context…
So you understand who I am, and more importantly, why I made the decision to hire them for my business.
When I first got into trading, I didn’t take the traditional path to Wall Street.
Most people think you need an Ivy League degree in finance or economics just to get a foot in the door at a firm like Goldman Sachs, and while that is the norm, my journey was anything but conventional.
I started out trading my own capital in my college dorm room. I had a deep love for numbers, probability, and market psychology, probably more than my actual business degree could ever give me. I’d be up at 4:30 AM watching the pre-market, studying candlestick formations, testing strategies, and trying to find my edge.
But I’ll be honest…I blew up my first two trading accounts.
I went all in on hype stocks. I traded emotionally. I ignored risk management. And I paid for it. But every loss taught me something no textbook could. I didn’t quit. I studied harder, refined my risk models, and built a structured system around my trading. Slowly, things started to click.
By the time I was 24, I was managing a mid-five-figure account with consistent results, and that got the attention of a recruiter. Despite not having a degree from Wharton or MIT, I had something most candidates didn’t, a proven P&L and a mindset forged in real losses and real wins.
I got the offer from Goldman Sachs.
My 10 Years at Goldman Sachs
I spent the next decade on the trading floor, specializing in equities and helping manage portfolios with millions under management. I built proprietary systems and routines that helped us navigate volatile markets. I focused deeply on:
• Risk management strategies that protected the downside
• Psychological frameworks that kept emotions out of execution
• And market mechanics that most retail traders never even learn exist
I became known not just for profitable trades, but for consistency under pressure.
Why I Became a Trading Coach
After ten years, I had reached a point where I wanted to give back. I saw the retail world exploding with traders hungry for guidance, but most were being fed recycled YouTube strategies or “get-rich-quick” trading signals with no foundation.
That’s when I decided to coach.
I took the exact same frameworks and tools I used at Goldman and translated them into real-world lessons for everyday traders. But I didn’t just teach strategy, I taught mindset, risk, structure, and discipline.
Because I know what it’s like to blow up an account. I know what it feels like to second-guess every move. And I know how to trade without emotion because I’ve lived through both sides of it.
What I Teach Today
I run a live trading community and coaching program where I teach:
• Step-by-step trade setups
• Live market analysis and execution
• How to manage risk like a professional
• How to read market structure and mechanics
• And most importantly, how to think like a trader, not just act like one
It’s not about hype or hot picks, it’s about building a process, sticking to it, and becoming the kind of trader who lasts.
Why I Hired Certified Closers?
I didn’t find Certified Closers through an ad or a sales pitch, I was actually referred by a close friend of mine who runs a massive trading Discord group focused on Forex with over 30,000 active members. He told me straight up:
“Certified Closers was a major part of how we scaled, those guys helped us turn our offer into a real business.”
Coming from someone I trust, and someone who’s crushed it in this space, I was intrigued.
He introduced me to James, the founder of Certified Closers, and after a few conversations, I could tell he actually understood our world, the trader space, the mindset of our ideal clients, and the psychology behind what makes people take action. That was a big deal to me. Most agencies just see you as another coaching business. James and his team saw the bigger vision.
They Helped Me Rebuild the Business from the Front End Out
Certified Closers didn’t just launch ads and hope for the best. They walked me through what they call Front End Packaging, and it was a total game-changer.
• They helped me narrow in on my ideal audience, not just “people who want to learn to trade,” but serious individuals hungry for structure, mentorship, and real skill-building.
• Then they worked with me to develop a compelling offer that wasn’t just attractive, but necessary, something that spoke directly to the pain points and goals of aspiring traders. It wasn’t fluff, it was tested, validated, and built to convert.
Running Paid Ads That Actually Made Sense
I had tried ads before. I’d been burned by bad lead quality and even worse agencies.
Certified Closers understood the compliance issues we face in the financial space, especially when promoting coaching or trading services. They built ad creative and messaging that was within platform policy but still emotionally compelling and direct. That’s rare.
They launched ads across Facebook and Instagram, but instead of blasting cold traffic, they built a system that attracted the right prospects, pre-qualified them, and fed them into a well-structured funnel.
Sales Process Optimization & Automation
James didn’t just help me attract leads, he helped me turn them into clients.
They optimized my entire sales process, from DM conversations to application flows, and trained my team on how to handle objections, close high-ticket offers, and keep prospects moving through the pipeline. Everything was tracked, tweaked, and improved.
They also helped me automate a huge portion of the lead nurture process, freeing up my time while maintaining a personal connection with every lead that came through the door.
Getting Me Out of the Day-to-Day Grind
One of the biggest changes? They helped me remove myself from the daily sales grind.
Before, I was on every sales call, answering every DM, reviewing every follow-up message. Now? I have systems and trained reps in place who handle that while I focus on delivering high-level coaching and scaling the business.
Real Sales Training for My Team
Certified Closers also poured into my team, offering real training on closing, lead handling, offer framing, and overcoming objections. These weren’t scripts from 2012, they were modern frameworks built for today’s digital buyer, especially in niches like ours where trust and clarity matter more than hype.
Would I Recommend Working with Certified Closers?
If you’re a coach, especially in the finance or trading space, and you’re already delivering real value but struggling to scale, yes, I would recommend them.
But not because they promise magic.
Because they bring structure. Real systems. Clarity. Accountability.
Certified Closers didn’t just help me generate leads or plug in a funnel, they helped me think like a CEO, not just a coach. They challenged the way I was doing things and showed me what it actually takes to scale without breaking everything in the process.
They respected the fact that I didn’t come from fluff. I came from the trading floor. I operate with precision, and they matched that energy. If anything, they raised the bar.
So would I recommend them?
Yes, but only if you’re ready to treat your business like a business.
If you’re looking to just slap some ads on your coaching offer and hope it works, this isn’t for you.
But if you’ve put in the work, proven your offer, and you’re ready to build something scalable, sustainable, and structured, Certified Closers is one of the few teams I’ve come across who actually get it.
They helped me step out of the weeds and into the driver’s seat.
And that, for any coach trying to grow for real, is worth every dollar.
