A few months back I announced that the academy was closing due to the fact that I could no longer coach anyone for a full year. That was because I am planning on doing a round the world trip in July 2015. As it's coming up to one year since this venture began, it means that I will soon have a number of spaces available for new members, as original members start to leave. So I've decided that, rather than just slowly winding down the academy, I will be going full steam ahead and now offering 3, 6 and 10 month membership. So if you were interested in the past but perhaps were put off by the cost, or if there were no spaces available, now is your chance to join up.
There is no difference in what you receive for each type of membership, other than the fact that you will have a longer or shorter period to learn from me. In my experience, most traders need 6-12 months, especially if doing this part-time, to learn what is required to become a successful trader and put it into practice so they are disciplined on a consistent basis. Experiencing a full season of the tennis tour is also important, especially if you are new to tennis trading. But certainly, it is possible to improve to a decent standard within 3-6 months for some traders - it does vary a lot from person to person and it's impossible to say who is going to pick it up quickly and who needs more time.
So have a read below then get in touch for cost details and with any other questions you might have. The run in to the US Open begins next week as the tour moves over to North America, which means lots of evening matches to trade every day - perfect if you are based in Europe and can't trade during the afternoon due to work. Hope some of you will join me on the ladders!
That's a grandiose name for my own amusement really! Basically, it's mentoring/coaching service plus trading guide that I am offering for a small number of aspiring tennis traders.
Here's what I offer:
Insight into my style of trading
14 simple to execute strategies with advanced options, all of which I use myself
An email-based coaching service for 3, 6 or 10 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 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
Why choose
I have over 10,000 hours experience over 5 seasons of full time tennis trading. 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.
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 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.
Why am I doing this?
The biggest obstacle to my success as a trader, is staying focused. It's something I've always struggled with and I go through periods where I miss chatting with other people. 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 interaction with other people, the added focus and enjoyment of helping others, is invaluable to keeping my mind in the right place.
How to become a member of:
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.
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 two emails which I received (completely unprompted) just to give an idea of how I can help:
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. 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.

"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."

"Hi Sultan,
I would like to describe my impressions from your academy. It will be hard for me on English (especially tenses) but I will try.
First of all I'm so proud because I'm member of your academy. Last two months I learned about trading much more than last two years. I learned a lot about discipline,way of thinking,way of looking in trade.
Also directly from your book and from your mails I learned about strategy in trade and how achieve them.Your mails is so strong and direct. In the beginning they almost blew my mind but I start to used them.
Of course I'm somehow at the start of journey, but for me is so great improve. You opened my eyes and I finally may see light in the end of trading tunnel. Now I'm enjoying looking tennis matches much, much more than before. I may look them even if I know that maybe not be involving in trade. And I may do that with relax mind. Before I didn't do this.
Before I saw "opportunity" for trade in every set a few times. Now I somehow recognized what is risk/reward and when is good for me. Now I don't go in trade without good reason.
Before I always involved in trade. And my account always was in little plus or in little minus, but I blow it without discipline when I had big losing trades.I couldn't go out when trades go in red. Now I don't do this. I don't go in trade if it's not describe in your book. Also I think I cannot blow my account again."
