Enlightened Trading
When Adrian started trading and training people, he saw all sorts of crazy stuff.  Traders were making mistakes in psychology, as well as in techniques and strategy implementation.  The name “Enlightened” came about when Adrian discovered that the most helpful thing to successful trading was to learn about yourself.  He now teaches people to develop strategies that are easily executed because they take into consideration the trader’s own mind, personality, objectives, and lifestyle. This approach makes trading easy and natural because it’s so personalized.  

Don’t Quit Your Day Job
Adrian encourages traders not to quit their day job too soon.  Instead, you should use your day job to fund your trading account and grow it big enough to one day get the freedom that you truly desire. If you don’t rush the process, you eliminate the stress that comes with being forced to be profitable. Adrian feels that many traders get this backward. Trading doesn’t have to be stressful.  When trading becomes mechanical because you are following a straight-forward strategy, you are able to eliminate the wild and worried emotions that many traders experience. Spend as much time as necessary developing your strategies, and when you start making more trading than in your regular 9 to 5, then it’s time to quit your job and enter full time trading.
