The Trading Template is my retirement plan!
I am a 58 year old single woman who is responsible for her own financial security. And I have been worrying…..a lot. Working a FT job has not been making me enough money to save for my retirement. And now, with this pandemic, I’m worried about job security. If I lose my job, who is going to want to hire an almost 60 year old woman? So, I needed to make a plan to make money on my own….for a long time too. Social Security only is not going to give me a good quality of life…..if it’s even available in 10 years. After many months of investigating different financial, stock market & trading courses…. About a year ago, I came across Mike Aston’s Trading Template Website. I didn’t know anything about the stock market or trading. I was a real beginner! Mike’s website provided many free videos to view which introduced his concepts of digital trading. I watched them quite a few times. I felt like his teaching style would be easy for me to follow and not at all intimidating. He sounded genuine and ….he was not a fast-talking snake-oil salesman like I was seeing elsewhere on other websites. On his website, he invites you to email him with any questions you might have about the course…..which of course I did. And WOW…he answered me right back within one day! He even offered to chat on the phone with me to discuss my interest in trading and how the course may help me. During our phone call, I never once felt any pressure from Mike to purchase the course. He was extremely generous with his time, spending a good 45 minutes with me giving me the good, the bad and the ugly about what kind of commitment this will take from me. The Trading Template is NOT a magic formula that will suddenly make you rich. You must be prepared to invest time in practicing Mike’s principles and setting your mind for a new way to make money, a new way to trade (if you are already a trader) and how to lose money correctly without flipping out. His principles were just making sense to me and seemed very realistic. After our initial phone call, it took me six months to think thorough everything before I purchased the Option 1 Course in May 2020. I watched the lessons as much as possible during my free time and practiced on a free trading site. After the first 4 months, I determined it was absolutely imperative that I continue with Mike’s Extended lessons, so I purchased those in Sept. 2020. I have been becoming more & more interested in digital trading the more I watch Mike’s lessons. He is quite involved in my success. I have emailed Mike with screen shots of my practice sessions, showing him my progress, asking him specific questions, and he ALWAYS responds within one day. His responses are both encouraging and specific. He breaks down what you need to do to progress to the next step/s. He literally takes time to look at what I send to him and will address my work with specific feedback for me only. He does not charge extra for this. He considers this to be an investment in the students who are putting effort into the course. I am still a student. I have not yet engaged in a live trade. But, I already feel like I have found a way to make digital trading a reality and a way to make money successfully in my 60’s and beyond. My only job right now is to continue watching the videos and practicing what I learn. I know that live trading will come in the future as soon as my confidence has been solidified around the principles I am learning from Mike. Thank you so much Mike!
