Client stories
Notes from traders who sat with their moving averages long enough to argue with them productively.
“I still argue with the 200-day sometimes, but after the masterclass I stop chasing every 9/21 cross as if it were a decree.”
— Elise M., ASX swing trader
“The chart clinic was useful even when my own setup was not chosen for the projector. Hearing how others misread slope on the hourly saved me from repeating the same entry the following week.”
— Daniel K., FX discretionary trader
“Private coaching helped, though I wished we had spent less time on the 20-period and more on weekly context earlier. Once we shifted, my checklist finally matched my holding period.”
— Priya S., index futures
“What I valued was the refusal to sell certainty. We wrote filters I could test — minimum bars after a cross, ignore signals in a tight range — and I still use two of them.”
— Mark T., evening workshop participant
Extended note — ASX mid-cap swing review
One participant arrived with six months of journaled trades that all used a 50-day simple average as a “trend filter.” Entries looked disciplined on paper, yet several losers sat on the wrong side of a flattening average while the price chopped through it. Across two private sessions we rebuilt the filter: require a positive slope over ten sessions, and treat a cross against that slope as a reason to stand aside rather than reverse. The following month’s journal showed fewer trades and fewer mid-chop exits. That is not a performance claim for others — only a record of how interpretation work changed one person’s rules.
