.......tennis is BACK!! Yes, it's Boxing Day but no rest for the top male tennis stars as they begin final preparations for the 2014 season with the Mubadala Exhibition Tournament in Abu Dhabi. Andy Murray returns after a long lay-off and he's joined by Djokovic, Nadal, Ferrer, Wawrinka and Tsonga. It will certainly have strong liquidity and is an event I have always traded (though I will probably give most of the Mubadala matches a miss this year and spend more time with family). With the ATP and WTA tours due to begin on the 30th, this is an excellent tournament to ease your way back into the markets before the serious business of the run-in to the Australian Open on January 13th begins. I've not traded at all for 6 weeks and so am itching to get going on what promises to be an exciting season for me personally. If you've not yet read my preview of the new season, you can read it here on Betting Expert.com.
When I opened my tennis trading academy in September, I originally offered just 10 spots, the reason being that I was unsure about whether I would have enough time to work with more than that. It proved to be no problem and I've since taken on more members. With several new members about to start over the next few days after reserving their place in November/December, the academy is now closing its doors - possibly forever, as I have no plans to continue after 2014. The only way that anyone can now join up, is if any of the new members who have paid a deposit to reserve their spot, decide to change their mind and not pay the remaining fee. So feel free to contact me if you are interested in becoming a member but please be aware, there are no spaces currently available - someone would have to drop out for you to join. So here's the full spiel one last time:

Basically, it's a trading guide plus mentoring/coaching service that I am offering for aspiring tennis traders.
Here's what I offer:
Insight into my style of trading
14 simple to execute strategies with advanced options
An email-based coaching service for 1 year
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
Statistical databases
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. 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 an 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.
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

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. 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 a full year which only a handful of 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. It doesn't matter what size bank you have, you can learn from me using £50 or £50,000!
For most of my members, what I've found they need is to understand the overall approach that successful, pro traders have, because they look at the markets very differently to your average trader. Instilling this approach is even more vital than learning specific strategies. Most importantly, you'll need to understand trading psychology and this is my specialty. 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.

Email me (click on "The Sultan" in the top left of the blog to get my address) with any further questions and for the price. 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.
I didn't want to bombard readers with lots of quotes from members, as let's face it, these things are pretty easy to fake. But I thought I'd throw in one comment which I received (completely unprompted) just to give an idea of how I can help:
"Regarding your ebook it's the best money I've ever invested in to the journey of learning to trade, it's given my confidence the perfect boost & optimism that I can push forward. I put your ebook in to practice through out the finals & it is a brilliant book I must say. My strategies have mainly been based on breaks of serve so once i read yours i couldn't wait to put yours in to practice, it made me realise that my whole existing setup from when to apply strategies combined with the entry & exit points along with my staking was rather messy & quite frankly not good enough & in turn causing me to end up frustrated then things turning in to out right bets etc.
The strategies, entry/exit points & staking in your ebook are brilliant, naming each strategy is a great idea & I've found it so hopeful. I found the whole setup regarding the ebook made me very patient, calm & very disciplined while trading the finals. The reds were kept very low & the greens were good & some were close to being huge. It's the most id enjoyed trading for a long time & I'm really looking forward to the new season."

Please note: This service does not guarantee profit, nor does it mean I will do all the work for you. 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. The strategies are a framework. To be successful, you will need to learn about the markets, value, the players, money management and psychology but my coaching will guide you in the right direction.
