Do you have experience in trading markets but haven’t quite reached your full potential?

Do you speculate to accumulate, do you find yourself wasting mone y on courses and seminars that promise to deliver the returns you desire but fail to deliver the results?

What if you could acces s an experienced trader who has 15 years in the markets and understands how to make mone y. What if you kne w this ser vice was free?

I’m Ste ve Ruf fle y and I have been mentoring traders for over 10 years. I have come acros s e ver y type of trader and have learnt that when it comes to trading your own mone y you will ultimately fit into one of three categories.

Up to £5 k – L i m i te d re tu rn £5 k to £2 5 k – I n c re a s e d re tu rn 2 5 k + - T h e s k y ’s th e li m i t

To better ser vice my clients I have split my mentoring program into three tiers. Whether you have £5k or £500k you will benefit. Here’s how.

Ultimately the purpose of trading is to make mone y. It’s easy to read books, watch webinars like the 1000’s I have presented, but the y can only e ver be generalised. The y are ne ver specifically designed for one individual.

With my years of trading, risk management, educating and ‘been there – done that’ experience I can help you become the trader you want to be.

T I ER ONE T RADER:

D E PO SIT UP TO £5,000

This tier is all about the trader who is star ting out on their trading journe y. This is a good place to star t if you are limited to what you can af ford to lose. Howe ver, it is impor tant to be realistic as to how much you can make from a £5k deposit. Here’s why.

It comes down to mind set and perceived risk. If you deposit £5k and are prepared to lose £1k you’re setting yourself up with a realistic trading goal. Below is an example of this scenario.

£ 1 , 0 0 0 D e p o si t :

2% of £1000 = £20. The problem with this is you have to pay the spread. As most spread betting platforms star t at £1 point, if you trade gold for instance the spread is around £5. Out of your £20, you make £15.

In the current volatility a 15 pip stop can be hit in a matter of seconds. You literally have no margin for error. £1k accounts come with margin requirements which means you can only trade a maximum of £3 a point. If you wanted to trade an averaged position (the best way to trade volatility) you are at 50% of your stop (£5 spread cost) simply by placing one more trade.

£ 5 , 0 0 0 D e p o si t :

If you set a 1-2% risk parameter as a stop on each trade based on your capital. 2% of £5000 = £100. This gives you up to 10 consecutive losing trades before you are stopped out of your total £1000 limit.

What is the likely hood you will lose 10 trades for a max stop los s 10 times in a row?

You simply, mathematically and statistically, have more chance of winning in the shor t term with more capital. The reason 90% of traders fail is because the y enter the markets under capitalised.

The good ne ws if you deposit £5k you still have the ability to make mone y and enjoy trading.

TIER T WO TRA DER:

D E P O SI T UP TO £ 2 5 , 0 0 0

This tier is for traders who have up to £25k to deposit. You may have already been through a fe w accounts and you understand the markets and many of your faults.

In most cases you usually call the markets correctly and have made reasonable mone y in the past from trades. Howe ver, you have experienced larger los ses that have led to inconsistency and the inability to grow accounts.

Why has this happened? You have made mone y but at times don’t adhere to the correct risk rules. You can find yourself chasing the gains while at the same time letting los ses get away from you. Remember, you are ne ver big ger than the markets. Know and respect the type of people you trade against.

I can help you create a more robust risk strategy. Usually it’s not making mone y that is the is sue, it’s the los ses. This is typical of most traders. By having defined long, medium and shor t term targets I can help you achie ve the correct balance of what you need to do to be succes sful and consistent in the long term.

I will as ses s your trades and look at how long you have been typically holding them for. I will focus on helping you make mone y through the movement of a trade rather than focusing on being correct on ‘market direction’.

Yo u can expec t :

At this le vel you will be able to buy yourself more time in the markets. Not e ver y signal has to result in a trade. It is the attention to detail and the suppor t I can provide that will make you a more complete trader.

If this sounds like you, get in touch to see how I can help you become the type of trader you envisage.

Small adjustments to the way you approach the markets and your trades will make huge dif ferences to your trading results. With my help these are no longer leaps of faith, the y are just are a simple step away.

Succes sful people want to interact with other succes sful people. My approach is to fill the gaps that will help you achie ve your ultimate trading goals. Having the ability to fund large accounts is one thing. The ability to utilise this to its maximum potential is another.

The ke y to the succes s I have had with this tier of trader is that I don’t change my approach. There is a fine balance to being a large market player and understanding your position within the market.

“Trading is not about being right. It’s about being right at the right time.”

You don’t have to be correct on market direction or know what is driving the markets. What you have to be, is right when the market is moving in a way you understand. Each person is dif ferent which means each trader is dif ferent. My unique skills and experience allow me to understand what the mis sing 1% is from your trading approach and help you implement this into your trading.

“Do you want to be right, or do you want to make mone y?”

When you fall into the trap of over analysing markets obvious trades are mis sed.

You can get caught up in tr ying to find the per fect combination of technical analysis and factoring in fundamental shifts. You wait so long to trade, all the enthusiasm and momentum gets lost. The reality is, there is no per fect trading strategy or set up.

At best you are only e ver looking for an 80% edge. Once you understand this you will move for ward and begin to make the returns you have been striving for.

Yo u c a n e x pe ct:

At this le vel of deposit you will usually not need the mone y you make from trading to fund your life style. This puts you in a power ful position to remain impar tial to the markets and pick and choose your trades.

RE P E TI TI O N CRE ATE S CO NSI STE NCY

In my early years as a trader, like most ne w traders I was searching for the ultimate trading set up. My pit fall was looking for a system that only I kne w, something that would set me apar t from other traders.

After some sound advice from some of the top city traders I worked with at the time I came up with the principles behind iVie w char ts.

“Remember, char ts work because people want them to work. You have to remember the self-fulfilling nature of technical analysis, if you are the only person looking at a unique set up then you simply have les s odds of it working. Go with the mas ses, unles s the y are wrong, then go against them.”

From this point I set my char ts up to mirror what the average trader would use. Bollinger bands, moving averages and oscillators like R SI. I discovered that I could set a frame work of what was ‘expected’ and use this to see how retail traders would be manipulated by profes sional traders and instructions. This first idea helped me from getting stopped out.

The second par t was to refine my own signals and technical analysis strengths like Fibonacci retracements and expansions. This helped me clearly define my entr y points and profit targets and stops.

Once I had combined these two elements I had the makings of a complete system. I contacted some cle ver tech guys in California, after $1000’s and 12 months of programming, iVie w char ts was born.

iV ie w Evo lut i on:

iVie w char ts takes a single market, interprets what a typical trader would look at and then adds my knowledge and experience to produce a more accurate frame work.

I s iV ie w f or you?

It’s proven that repetition in any thing creates consistency. Setting up your char ts and technical analysis from scratch, on e ver y market e ver y time takes an enormous amount of time. iVie w char ts instantly puts a frame work on any time frame and product which makes your set up time vir tually zero. This means more time for trading and more time for making mone y. The element of consistency comes from looking at the iVie w char ts set up day in day out. From colour coding you will see good buy and sell signal oppor tunities.

Here is an example of the EUR / GBP on the H1 char t

i V I EW CHART S :

CLE ARLY DEFINED TARGETS AND STO P S

This is only 1 of the many elements that iVie w char ts of fers. There are 6 other bespoke indicators you can add to your char ts for confirmation, that will help you to get that all impor tant consistency when looking at the markets.

B ia s :

This works in the same way as an oscillator, ver y much like R SI. You have colour coded confirming signals as to whether the markets are a buy or sell, or if the y are building up to a breakout.

B o llin g e r B re a ko uts:

This is my favourite indicator. This draws Fibonacci retracements and expansions to give you a frame work, on any time frame, of good le vels to enter and exit trades.

Gre y Are a Zo n e :

This is another oscillator that works in the opposite of iVie w Bias. It indicates where there is no statistical edge where typical traders will be looking for markets to be over sold or over bought. When the indicator shows gre y there is the option for no action or a potential institutional push.

iVie w :

This indicator draws on all the higher time frame points of attraction. Suppor t and resistance. These are monthly (M1,2,3,4,5) weekly (W1,2,3,4,5) and daily (D1,2,3,4,5).

This also adds suppor t and resistance to the open candle. This is based on pivots and is for shor ter term areas of interest.

N e ws Re a de r:

This puts live data e vents directly into your char ts. The y are customisable and colour coded to show their potential impact on the markets.

Trad e V i e w :

The trade vie w is a way of combining all the information into one easy to vie w window.

This is a power ful way to look for signals that consistently work for you to trade the markets that this set up is indicating.

Right, at the right time.

iVi EW CHA RTS: TE M P L ATE S

When writing iVie w char ts and other pieces of char ting software over the years I realised that it was not enough to just give people indicators. The most common question I have been asked is: “What do you look at when you are trading? What indicators? What times frames?�

This is why as par t of iVie w char ts I have included a number of pre made templates.

These templates show you an over vie w of inverse and directly correlated markets. It then breaks the main markets I trade into the most impor tant time frames with the correct ( for me) distribution of pre- set iVie w indicators.

This is illustrated on the opposite page.

I ndiv idual Produc t s:

iVie w char ts takes a single market, interprets what a typical trader would look at and then adds my knowledge and experience to produce a more accurate frame work. Once you open an individual product template you can look from the D1 to the M5 char t to get the exact entr y point that suits your trading style. You can get confirmation from the indicators so your focus can be on getting in and also getting out at the right time for maximum profit.
