Anyone who has read Centre Court Trading (now known as Sultan Tennis Trading!) over a long period will know that I have always done things a little differently to the norm. I like to take risks and stand out from the crowd and so I will continue in that vein by revealing my new project:
![]()
That's a grandiose name for my own amusement really! Basically, it's a trading guide plus mentoring/coaching service that I am offering as of today, for no more than 10 aspiring tennis traders.
Here's what I offer:
Insight into my style of trading
14 simple to execute strategies with advanced options, that together have made me profitable
An email-based coaching service for 12 months
All my knowledge of the tennis markets
Help with the psychology of trading and tips to improve your mental game
In depth knowledge of all players inside the top 150, men and women
Analysis of your individual trades
Here's what I DO NOT offer:
A "golden egg laying goose" strategy
A guaranteed route to consistent profitability
Skype, face to face or telephone tutoring
Real-time, live trading analysis
Instant success for no work
Why is it email only?
I don't have the time for Skype etc, as I need to be concentrated on my own trading. Please understand that I am not offering to be a full time mentor. If I did, I would be charging a lot more than I am! Most live trading mentors charge upwards of £50 per hour. You will need a hell of a lot more than 60 minutes to become proficient at trading. And there is never any guarantee that the session will be useful. What if the match is rained off? Or a player retires? What if the market trains to 1.01? Or doesn't provide any suitable entry points? Tennis matches usually last much longer than an hour anyway and much of that time can be spent just watching and waiting for an opportunity. Live mentoring can be great but it's very expensive in the long run and has its pitfalls.
I will provide you with my strategies plus lots of other trading information in my ebook to start you off with, so that you can trade immediately by yourself whenever it suits you. I will then provide a daily email service where I aim to answer any questions you have, to help you with my strategies and to analyse your trades. You will need to make notes and send them to me. I will aim to get back to you as soon as possible - most of the time I will be at my laptop trading anyway, so will hopefully get back to you during trading hours. I trade 5-7 days a week, every week, so you should never have to wait too long for a response, especially as there will be a maximum of 10 traders involved.
Here's what I aim to do as a mentor/coach:
Set out realistic goals and targets
Get your mindset in the correct place to become a consistently profitable trader
Help you understand about value in the tennis markets
Help you learn how to read tennis matches
Analyse your trading notes
Give advice about becoming a full-time, professional trader
Why choose
![]()
I have approximately 10,000 hours experience over 4 seasons of full time tennis trading. I've been through everything; from the lowest of lows as a full time trader who made every mistake in the book to now, where I have not had a losing month for the past 2 seasons. I have proof of this all documented on here (to see my P&Ls, search for my monthly posts entitled "The Results", on the left side of the blog in the "Blog Archive"). I am an ex-teacher of 3 years, where I taught English to adults of all ages, so know how to teach people of all backgrounds and standards and get the best out of them.
I have used a "guru" or "mentor" before and so understand the pitfalls and benefits. My coach knew his stuff when it came to tennis but did not know how best to deliver and teach. Nothing was written down for me to go over. I was expected to copy his exact trades in real-time but he never explained why he was doing the trade and by the time I'd entered the market, the price was usually gone. In my opinion, this is a poor way to learn. Blindly copying off a mentor will not set you up with what you need to succeed on your own . His style of trading worked for him but it wasn't something I was comfortable with.
My philosophy is not to hold your hand and do everything for you, so you become a clone of me. My strategies are there as a guide which you can tweak to suit your own style or use directly. I aim to help you find what you are best at and most comfortable with and to let you achieve your own success. With basic foundations set in place by me, you should then be able to trade well without the need for me to tell you what to do. This is not just another strategy ebook you are buying into but a coaching service for 12 months which only 9 other people will have access to. Unlike these other guides, you will not be learning the exact same thing as hundreds of other customers (which can lead to increased competition in the market and loss of value and edge) and will be learning a lot more from the author on a regular basis, about how to trade successfully.
Most importantly, you'll need to understand trading psychology and this is my speciality. It's what this blog has always focused on because it is the single most important but also the single hardest aspect of trading to master. This is where the academy really has value. I had HUGE mental issues and over-came them and I can help you do the same.
Why am I doing this?
I've said for a while now that the biggest obstacle to my continued success as a trader, is staying focused. It's something I've always struggled with and I go through periods where I just get fed up of the monotony of trading. Having something else to stimulate me and add variety to my day will aid my focus massively and that's the main reason I'm starting this service. The money I can potentially make from this, I can earn in a couple of months of trading - it's not a big deal for me. But the interaction with other people, the added focus and I hope enjoyment of helping others, could be invaluable to keeping my mind in the right place.
I will also be writing about my experience as a mentor on the blog. This is another reason why I wanted to do this - to re-ignite my blogging. I'd semi-retired it a few months ago but I really miss writing, a major passon of mine and something I think will help with the monotony of trading. Just to make clear, I will never reveal my strategies or the names of any traders on my blog. I will only be writing about what it's like being a mentor and the progress that my traders are making, without giving anything away.
Why only 10 traders?
By keeping numbers low, it won't erode my edge and will also be fairer on those who do pay as it means only a select few will have access to the same information. Any more than 10 traders I think would be compromising the quality of coaching that I can give. I will have my hands full with 10 traders. At the risk of sounding like all these replica ebooks out there, I will be taking my service off sale as soon as I have 10 members. In 12 months time, when the service ends, I may take on another 10 traders but there is no guarantee of that. So when I say I am offering this service to just 10 people, I really mean it; the first 10 who fit the criteria will become my students for the next 12 months. So you'll get an entire tennis season, which is important as you need to experience the whole tour and the different surfaces and events. Anyone who misses out, I'll put on a reserve list in case anyone drops out.

I believe this is a unique opportunity for a select few people to gain knowledge working with one of the few people who is proven online as a successful tennis trader. As such, the service is priced accordingly but when you consider that certain mentoring schemes out there are charging typical sums of over £400 per month and over £50 an hour, I think you'll find my rates are reasonable. Plus you get the exact strategies that I have worked hard to make profitable for the last 2 years. Email me (click on "View my complete profile" in the "About Me" section in the top left of the blog to get my address) with any further questions and for the price but don't forget - first 10 traders and that's it! Also, please tell me a little about yourself; where you are as a trader right now and what you want to achieve. This will help me assess whether I can help you and if you really are going to put the work in to succeed.
There's just 2 months of the tennis season remaining, so the quicker we get started the better but with plenty of action to come, it should leave any member in a prime position to start the 2014 season fully primed and prepared!
Please note: This service does not guarantee profit, nor does it mean I will do all the work for you. Every person is different and will learn at a different pace. You will need to put the hours in if you want to make my strategies work. It will not be a case of simply applying what I do and watching the money roll in. You will need to learn about the markets, value, the players, money management and psychology but that is where my coaching comes in. Some of you will hopefully go on to be successful after a few months, some may take years and others might fail altogether. Though if you follow my advice, you will improve.
