Convergent was built after extensive experience and study into the process of helping traders make the turn toward becoming career trading professionals. Based on our experience as backers of traders in a proprietary trading setting and from our interaction with online traders who are often misinformed and misled by a cross-wind of conflicting information. Convergent condenses the process for those who are serious about trading as a career by addressing all of the key caveats that get in the way of finally seeing results.

• What must I be prepared for in order to get the maximum benefit from your service?
o Slow down your trading while you learn. It is key to give yourself time to learn
o When trading live, do the best you can to use full exchange margin per contract
o Make mistakes but don’t let a single mistake take away a large portion of your account. You won’t learn if you can’t trade
o Commit to approaching trading from now on as a business. Nothing is done on impulse…nothing!
o If you don’t have a clearly set out trading approach, trade management plan and risk plan, then simulate temporarily
o Share your homework in the appropriate chat channel. This gives others a chance to learn from and critique your assumptions
o Get the work and exercises done that we propose to you. There is no magic bullet or shortcut. Your trading approach has to be highly personalized and must be yours alone
o Attend all of our sessions and webinars. Even though it is something you may have studied already, invest in attending because it may click a little more clearly this time
o Turn off all other gurus, educators, chat rooms and groups. It is time for you to think in a focused and deliberate way. You are here now, so give this a chance by being deliberately focused on this opportunity
o Don’t lurk. Lurking (the act of just reading and absorbing without interacting) is fine for a day or two, but you will only get out of the community what you put into it. Ask questions, challenge assumptions and share your findings. You benefit most by being active
o The key items you will want to bring with you:
 Good capitalization: Your trading errors will be your tuition. It is ok to lose and we welcome the help that losses provide in terms of timing or strategy
 A Growth Mindset: Leave your limiting beliefs at the door. There is not going to be room for the idea that there is such a thing as innate talent or curse. You can learn anything at any age. It is a function of approach and that’s what we are here for
 Strong Discipline: Follow your plan. This will be hard if you trade emotionally or give too much credence to your “gut” or “feeling” while you trade. Follow the plan you set out and then grade yourself using the TradeScore™ system. Adjust and repeat
 A Good Amount of Grit: You will fall. You will be disappointed. You will be frustrated. Things will seem hopeless. It may be so. But until you decide you are done, you have to have grit. You have to push through and keep improving. In our experience, when the turn comes, the mindset shift and process is quick. You won’t remember what it took
 A Clear Understanding of What we Provide and What we Don’t: We are not magicians. We are proprietary trading trainers. We know what it takes and know the process. What we can’t deliver are results that are guaranteed. We do our best to provide you with the most up to date and professional tools we use
