About Us

Our Genius Trader Podcast

We’ve been discussing peak performance trading for over 12 years and now we get to share our conversations with you guys.

This is our opportunity to talk about taking a radical new approach to trading, rather than accepting what’s been taught so far, we hope you join us and experiment with new exciting possibilities. Conventional trading educators tell us to “control our emotions” as the best way of  making good decisions  anyone who trades knows this doesn’t work, we believe trying to control them distorts our perception and increases risk. We’ll offer cutting edge strategies to; accept ambiguity, trade in the zone, improve your confidence, create a new empowering trading vision, develop the skill of linking emotion intellect, and behaviour, analyse emotional data, develop an edge by understanding other traders market perception, reduce risk increase profits, bounce back from setbacks and unlock your psychological wealth.

Every week offers a new opportunity and it will always be fun. Yes trading can be fun.

I think emotions are far more important than brains in being a good trader

Martin Thomas

Martin fell in love with trading when he realized as a 12 year old that people reading the Financial Times sat in the 1st Class section when travelling. He then fell in love with learning how to trade in a peak state, when he lost all his money trading.

Since then he has consistently made gains and continues to assist professional traders to do the same, using strategies to achieve a peak state and emotional mastery as the framework to successful trading. Through these podcasts he’ll assist you to  adopt core beliefs neccessary to develop a “traders mind” and “winning attitude”, from which you can reach new levels of success and avoid common fear based mistakes made by traders.

Martin is also guest speaker at Anthony Robbins Wealth Mastery Seminars. He writes and contributes articles for Stocks and Commodities magazine. Coaches Hedge Fund and Proprietary Traders and is an MSTA qualified Technical Analyst. Oh and he’s also got a great sense of humor (He made us put that in)

Simon Jacobs BA.MA. PPD

Simon assists traders to overcome the many problems that come with such a stressful job. From his private practice in central London he also works with individuals, couples and groups combining aspects of his experience as a creative director working in the corporate sector with his approach as a psychotherapist to facilitate the process of change and growth. He is also a group therapist at The Priory Hospital.

Incorporating techniques focused on highlighting the ways in which traders’ habitual patterns limit their potential and suggesting exercises designed to support and maintain awareness outside the sessions, Simon helps his clients enhance their performance and profits. Understanding how learned behaviours carried with you through life, influence the choices you make can liberate a person from destructive, self-defeating patterns and habits. For those working in the financial markets blind spots and lack of self-awareness about such behaviours limit the ability to make informed and considered decisions.

Simon is an acknowledged expert in assisting Traders to create a life work balance, which ultimately helps them to increase their performance levels. He has written and contributed to article for “Psychologies magazine”, The Mail on Sunday and bigwhitewall.com. He lives in London and has two children. He’s the clever one.

  • I would like to listen again to Episode 8 about creating rules but cannot download from iTunes. A massive thank you to Martin for a great series of podcasts. This should be compulsory listening for all new traders and more experienced traders who are still struggling with emotional management. Good job guys !!!!!!

  • Good job guys
    I think slowly traders will start to appreciate this way of thinking or not thinking about trading and the markets.
    Cant say I agree with all.
    I certainly agree that we trade other investors perceptions of the market.
    Hopefully most traders carry on trading with the same mindset and our fund can pick them off.
