Markets covered
FX, indices, commodities, precious metals, equities and crypto.
Option structures and hedging strategies applied where relevant. Extended engagements expand into multi-asset intermarket analysis and sector rotation.
Recognising changing risk
When a market is accelerating, enthusiasm can crowd out scrutiny. On 25 January 2026, Michael questioned whether silver’s rally was becoming overstretched.
On 25 January, Michael warned that silver’s rally was overstretched relative to its 200-week moving average and that a sharp correction could begin within two to four weeks.
It came sooner. Spot silver reached $121.64 per troy ounce on 29 January. On 30 January, five days after his message, it fell as low as $77.72. That was about 36% below the previous day’s peak.
The decline continued, with rebounds along the way: silver reached $60.94 in March and $54.74 in July, roughly 50% and 55% below January’s peak. The full 55% fall unfolded over months.
The warning preceded a substantial correction. The message also contained forecasts about the timing of a bottom and a later rally; the subsequent fall does not establish that those forecasts were correct. In mentorship, this is the work: examine how far a move has stretched, challenge the reasons for staying exposed, and decide your risk limits before the reversal.

The work is to build judgement you can explain and apply yourself. A past market view is a discussion point, not an instruction for your next trade.

Why it costs what it costs
Once, a point-and-figure chart was drawn by hand: noughts and crosses in pencil, one box every ten pips, three boxes against you before changing column, every price checked against the last box you’d drawn.
You had to understand the method just to have the chart.
Today it is a single click.
Charting platforms put indicators, data and analysis within easy reach. AI adds another powerful analytical tool, available around the clock. The trader with the pencil would have called it magic.
But access to better tools does not give you a repeatable process or the discipline to follow it when your own money is at risk.
The AI has nothing at risk. You do.
What no platform ships is your understanding of what trading and investing actually involves: a repeatable process, explicit risk rules, and the discipline to follow them when it counts. That foundation is the whole of this work.
So this is what you are paying for. Not information. That is free. Twenty-seven years of judgement formed on the professional side of the screen, prepared for and applied to your decisions, one-to-one, with the time built in to measure what changed.
Applications are reviewed around Michael’s existing commitments, with time reserved to prepare, review and follow through properly. Every programme requires a 30-minute introductory call; the work is scoped before you pay.
You send the form. Michael reviews it and we aim to respond within 48 hours.
If the work looks like a fit, you receive a link to choose a time for a 30-minute introductory call. This call is required before joining any programme.
After that conversation, if you want to proceed, you receive a written offer setting out the programme, scope and conditions, and a proposed appointment schedule. Nothing is booked and nothing is paid for until you decide. Read the mentorship conditions.
People who have already started trading, even for a short time, and understand basic trading concepts and terminology. If you are completely new, start with our free Foundation School before applying for private mentorship. Explore free Foundation School.
Every programme begins with a 30-minute introductory call with Michael. It is a chance to meet, talk through your trading experience and understand what you want to achieve. You will discuss your current approach, where you feel stuck, the challenges you keep encountering and your goals for your trading. Michael will ask questions to understand the support you need, explain how the mentorship works and help you consider which programme may be suitable. There is time for your questions too. The call is free and required before joining any programme, with no obligation to join.
FX, indices, equities, crypto, commodities and precious metals. Options structures and hedging strategies can be discussed where relevant. Longer engagements make room for multi-asset intermarket analysis, sector rotation and the relationships between currencies, equities, commodities and rates.
Yes. Bring your own examples, your written system and the reasoning behind your decisions. Remove account numbers and personal details first. Agree material in advance so Michael can prepare.
Availability depends on existing commitments and not every application is a fit, most often because the timing is wrong or because Foundation School is the better starting point. If that is the case we will tell you plainly and say why. Your details are handled in line with our privacy policy, and you are welcome to apply again later.
Start with the shape of the problem. The Correction focuses on a recurring difficulty; the Quarter brings your system, risk and execution into one framework. A longer engagement gives you time to put changes into practice and return to them across different market conditions. The introduction helps establish which approach fits the work.
Not for the same total meeting time. Ten Corrections provide 30 hours for £12,000, the same meeting time and fee as the Year. Eight Corrections cost £9,600 but provide only 24 hours, without the Year's six hours of strategic reviews. Two Half-Years also total £12,000 for 30 hours. The reviews are the difference. Four times across the year, a 90-minute session steps back from the fortnightly work and returns to the thesis you started with: what changed in the market, what changed in your thinking, which assumptions held and which did not. Shorter programmes repeated back to back give you more sessions. They do not give you a year of retained context to review them against.
No. This is education and general market analysis, not personal investment advice or a signal service. Michael helps you examine your thinking and process; your decisions remain yours. There is no portfolio management, execution or account control, and no promise of returns.
The Correction includes a written recap within two working days and one written question between sessions. The Quarter includes a written recap within two working days and two questions per fortnight. The Half-Year includes a written recap within two working days, email access with one thread per topic, and a monthly check-in. You receive a written recap within two working days. The Year includes email access, with one thread per topic, and a monthly check-in. Replies come by the next working day. This is written support about the work, not live monitoring or checks on open trades.
Yes. The Quarter has three monthly instalments; the Half-Year has five monthly instalments; the Year has four quarterly instalments. All are interest-free. The first payment is before the first session, with the remaining dates set out in your offer. If a payment is missed, we contact you and may suspend future appointments. If the programme ends, the balance is settled under the agreed cancellation conditions.
Booked up front: All your session dates are locked in right when you join, set to your local time zone
Rescheduling: Need to move a session? Just give us at least 48 hours' notice.
If you're running late or having tech issues, just drop us a line so we can help. We hold the line for 15 minutes before wrapping up. Naturally, if we ever have to reschedule a session on our side, it won't affect your allowance.
Yes. Nothing is charged when you apply, and nothing is charged after the introduction unless you choose to proceed.
Your programme is a commitment over an agreed period, rather than a pay-as-you-go service. UK consumers normally have 14 days after the day the contract is agreed to cancel. If you expressly request an earlier start, statutory rules govern any charge for services supplied during that period. After that period, a change of mind does not automatically entitle you to a refund of all unused sessions. Settlement covers work supplied and reasonable, evidenced net losses caused by cancellation, less saved costs and recovered income, without double charging. We provide an itemised calculation. Any balance due to you is refunded; any justified outstanding amount is explained. The combined charge cannot exceed the programme fee. A pause or transfer to another available TT service may be agreed but does not replace a cash refund you are legally entitled to. Full conditions are supplied with your offer before you commit. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
Recording is off by default. Any exception needs prior agreement and explicit consent covering use, access and retention.
