The UK stock trading course for serious traders

Over 90% of traders lose money.*

Most people blow at least one account before they become successful traders.

You may have already lost money yourself as a result of not knowing what you were doing… I know that was my experience.

If you have no idea how to trade UK stocks, or you’ve tried but consistently failed and struggled to return a profit, then this course is designed for you.

It will give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to trade in the UK stock market successfully.

This online trading course is not for everyone

Financial trading isn’t a way to get rich quick and this course isn’t designed to help you do that.

This course isn’t a quick fix for your trading problems – you will need to invest your time and energy for the best chance at success.

This is real trading that requires commitment to long-term goals.

OK, so who is the course for?

  • You’re a beginner to the UK stock market with no idea where to start
  • You’re an experienced trader wanting to sharpen and improve your P&L
  • You’re wanting to commit to growing your wealth outside of employment

Why should you consider this UK stock trading course?

Financial trading appeals to many because of the freedom it can offer. In reality, the market has certain rules and those who don’t know them can lose a lot of money.

There is a lot of false information out there, from social media ‘traders’ who peddle affiliate schemes to YouTubers who promote companies for money.

This course will save you time and money as it provides focused teaching on what I’ve been doing daily since 2016 to trade the UK stock market for a living.

Michael’s trading course is a great guide to trading UK stocks for anyone who is serious about learning to trade. By focusing on risk management, trading execution as well as specific trading patterns, Michael provides a solid base for traders to develop their own trading strategy.

Michael is one of the clearest writers and thinkers on the topic that I’ve encountered. He’s not a get-rich-quick merchant – he genuinely cares about his subject and his readers.

My trading journey

2015
Started trading

I started trading using my own private capital with the aim of first trading full-time and then becoming independently financially free

2017
My first full year of trading for a living

In my first year of full-time trading back in 2017, I lost over £30,000 in a single month due to overexposure, leverage, and not fully understanding the risks of what I was doing.

I’d been on a big run, but this was the first time I learned just how quickly you could lose money too. It was then that I made the decision to deepen my learning about, and focus on, consistent strategies in the long run so I could grow my account consistently year-on-year.

2019
Began writing in top publications

I began writing for Investors’ Chronicle and became the magazine’s trading columnist, as well as contributing occasionally to MoneyWeek – the top two weekly financial magazines in the UK.

Presented a TED Talk

I was fortunate to be asked present a TedX talk at one of my alma mater

2020
Nominated for Journalist of the Year

I was nominated for Journalist of the Year at the Small Cap Awards. I didn’t win, but it was great to be shortlisted given the calibre of the competition.

2021
Spoke at major industry events

I started getting invites to speak at key industry events such as Master Investor, Mello, and IX Trader Show to share my knowledge.

2022
Featured in the Financial Times

My first articles were published in the FT

(Article blurred for copyright reasons)

2023
Featured in other national publications

My work started to be featured in national publications such as The Telegraph, The Times, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, i

2024
Winner at the Finfluencer Awards

Won Trading Finfluencer of the year 2024 at the Finfluencer Awards.

My trading strategy

I trade breakouts and breakdowns, gaps and other strategies covered in this course.

I’m also an intraday scalper and a big believer in adapting when the market changes direction. This requires paying attention to the market and is not a “set-and-forget” strategy – that’s investing (not trading).

There are several patterns that I regularly trade in the stock market these will be explained in depth on the course.

During my career I have had some very nice winners, but unlike the YouTube trading gurus I have also had my fair share of comparatively large losses. I say comparatively because none of these trades took on excessive, high risk and losses were therefore kept small.

My goal is to trade sensibly and compound my account year-on-year.

The UK Stock Trader Pro program will give you a detailed insight into how I think and what I do in order to successfully trade the UK stock market.

This is a superb course teaching basic and more advanced technical analysis, disciplined risk management, trading psychology, plus a unique aspect of difficult to access education on AIM, Level 2 and market makers (worth it for just this alone). Michael is a great teacher.

Michael’s focus on making money and no nonsense approach is refreshing. So good in fact that I have asked him to teach technical analysis to my investment students. Well done!

Got questions?
Here are answers...

Why should I trust you?

As I wrote in MoneyWeek (Issue 893 pp 28-29), the trading world is full of sharks. Many trading educators like to show Lamborghinis and flash watches to hook people in, and the attrition rates, hard work, and learning curve are never mentioned.

Whilst trading is a skill that can be learned, not everyone is mentally strong enough to handle the emotions that come with trading, and not everybody wants to commit to the hours required to succeed. Trading is not for everyone.

If you are not willing to treat trading as a business, then I would suggest you should consider whether trading is for you before purchasing this course.

What is not included in this course?

I don’t actively trade indices, commodities or forex, or cryptocurrencies – this course is for UK stock traders only.

There is also no mentoring included with this course – see the question below for more on this.

However, you will have access to an exclusive support group where I will answer your questions along with other course members. You won’t be alone.

Why are you sharing your strategies?

Skeptics will ask “If you’re such a good trader – why are you selling a course?”

The simple answer is so that I can compound my account faster.

As a full time trader I also need to withdraw capital to pay for all my family’s bills as I am now the sole earner following the birth of our son.

But think about it, if you’re good at what you do, then why wouldn’t you sell a course and share your knowledge?

Full time trading is time consuming and requires effort – it’s not lazing by the pool all day sipping cocktails. The more I diversify, the less stress it places on me and the better I can focus on trading.

Won’t your edge disappear if you share your strategies?

I trade breakouts and breakdowns and I’ve shared how I trade these patterns for free already. People have been trading these patterns for decades, yet people can still make money from them.

Most traders lose money because they have unrealistic expectations or they’re simply not willing to do the hard work.

And if you took away my discipline and desire to improve as a trader – I’m sure I’d eventually become a loser too.

Admittedly, there are some things in my course that will no longer be profitable for me if more people became aware of them.

However, these account for less than 1% of my trades, so I won’t lose any sleep over it.

Can I get personal mentoring from you?

Yes, I do offer personal mentoring within a group setting so please ask me about this once you are inside the program.

How long do I have access to the course for?

How does unlimited access sound?

When I ran my seminars, people asked if they could pay and come again in a few months as a refresher.

With my online trading course, you don’t have to pay again. If you want to redo the course a few months down the line or use it for reference, then you can do so.

You can access my course whenever you want, wherever you want, for as long as you want.

I've bought and failed with other courses, what makes this different?

I hope I have explained above why the course is different but if you still have questions, please reach out to me.

However, might there be a more fundamental issue at play here?

There is clearly somebody you don’t trust, and it’s either me or you. 

If it's the former, please do your due diligence as you would before making any investment.

Do I need to read your books before taking the course?

You don’t need to have read my books before taking the course. However, if you are completely new to the stock market then it may be a good idea.

My course is for beginners but it assumes basic knowledge. For example, it doesn’t cover “What are stocks and shares?” because anybody can Google that and it provides no value.

This course is about the understanding and application of knowledge, rather than spoon feeding a list of definitions.

Does this course just focus on learning to trade in the UK?

Yes. This course focuses exclusively on learning how to trade UK stocks, and trading UK stocks through CFDs and spread bets

If you’re wanting to learn about forex, cryptocurrencies, indices, options, warrants, then this course is not for you.

Why should I invest in this course?

When I started trading in 2015 I wanted to take an online course that would accelerate my learning but it didn't exist.

I know the feeling when you’ve lost 10 trades in a row, or you make a mistake and find yourself heavily down in a stock.

However, if you’re willing to do the work and accept that trading is a long-term investment in learning a skill, then I’d be happy to work with you to help you achieve your trading goals.
