The 4 Steps of Learning Applied to Trading And How My Mentorship Gets You to the Top
Trading is more than clicking buy or sell. It is a journey through four distinct stages of skill development what psychologists call The Competency Hierarchy. Every trader from their first chart to their first million dollar year moves through these phases. The difference between those who stay stuck and those who thrive is guidance accountability and the ability to shortcut costly mistakes.
Step 1 Unconscious Incompetence
This is where most retail traders live. You are unaware of how little you know. You believe you have a strategy maybe from social media a random YouTube video or an indicator heavy setup but your trades are based on delusion denial or misinformation. This is where accounts blow up and frustration sets in.
How I Help My mentorship strips away the noise. You will see exactly why most traders fail and how to avoid their mistakes before they cost you money.
Step 2 Conscious Incompetence
Here you realize you have been trading the wrong way. You start to see the flaws in your approach but you still lack the skill to execute effectively. This is a dangerous stage because frustration can lead to overtrading and abandoning the process.
How I Help I give you a proven framework to follow so instead of blindly experimenting you work on methods that are already profitable.
Step 3 Conscious Competence
Now you understand the correct process. You can follow the plan and get results but you need to think about every decision. This is where skill is built through repetition discipline and structured feedback.
How I Help You trade live alongside me seeing setups unfold in real time. My mentorship accelerates your progress by removing guesswork and showing you exactly when to engage and when to stand aside.
Step 4 Unconscious Competence
This is the elite level. You execute with precision without second guessing. You see the market intent clearly react instinctively and consistently extract profit. Very few traders ever get here but with the right mentor you can.
How I Help My mentorship is designed to make this your default state. By the time you reach this stage you will have complete trust in your process and the ability to repeat it week after week.
Bottom Line Without guidance most traders never make it past Step 2. My mentorship compresses years of painful trial and error into a focused profitable pathway. If you want to move from uncertainty to mastery you do not have to do it alone.
