Premarket Preparation
Map key levels before the open and write a one-page trade plan.
Learn the Setups. Then Build the Habits to Trade Them.
A+ Process Coaching from LaKaTrades. Structured, written-first coaching for traders who want a clear plan, firm risk rules, and an honest way to measure their execution.
Most trading mistakes don't come from a missing indicator. They happen between the plan and the click: a trade you didn't plan, a stop you moved, a valid setup you froze on. A+ Process Coaching works on that gap. Together we turn your approach into written rules, follow how well you stick to them, and review every week with annotated charts and clear written feedback. We look at your process first. Profit and loss is recorded, but it isn't how we measure progress.
Who coaching is for
Coaching may be a good fit if you:
- You know some setups but trade them inconsistently
- You trade without a written plan, or write one and then drift from it
- You want help recognizing FOMO, revenge trading, overtrading or hesitation in your own journal
- You've finished the LaKaTrades Bootcamp (or similar education) and want structured follow-through
- You prefer clear, written, visual communication, including Deaf and hard-of-hearing traders
It's probably not the right fit if you're looking for trade alerts, someone to manage your account, or a promise of returns. We don't offer any of those.

Coaching FAQ
Is this investment advice?
No. LaKaTrades provides trading education and performance coaching. We review your own written plan, rules and execution. We don't tell you what to buy or sell, send trade signals, or manage accounts.
Will coaching make me profitable?
No one can promise that, and we won't. Trading involves risk of loss, and coaching doesn't remove it. What coaching aims to improve is your process: planning, following your rules, managing risk, and reviewing honestly.
Do I need to be an experienced trader?
No. You should know the basics of how your platform and orders work. If you're newer, the Bootcamp or a Workshop may be a better first step, and we'll tell you so honestly in writing.
How is coaching different from the Bootcamp?
The Bootcamp teaches the LaKaTrades framework: structure, setups, planning, execution and review. Coaching is ongoing, personal follow-through: your plans, your journal and your scorecard, reviewed every week.
Do I need to make a phone call?
Never. Applications, scheduling and coaching communication all happen in writing.
What does coaching cost?
Format and investment details are shared in writing after we review your application.
Do I have to share my account?
No. You share screenshots or trade logs only, and you can redact balances and account numbers. We never ask for brokerage logins.
Is this therapy?
No. We work on trading behaviors like FOMO, revenge trading and hesitation as practical process habits. Coaching isn't counseling or mental-health treatment.
Ready to trade your plan, not your mood?
Apply for CoachingTrading involves substantial risk of loss and isn't suitable for everyone. LaKaTrades, LLC provides trading education and performance coaching only. It isn't investment, financial or tax advice, trade signals, or account management, and it isn't therapy or mental-health treatment. Coaching doesn't remove trading risk or guarantee any result. Past performance doesn't indicate future results.
