The askSlim Coaching Program is highly intensive and tailored to your individual needs. This program is designed for traders who have had some trading experience to traders who have been in the markets for many years. The nature of this program is an alliance between you and me, as your coach, to discover and move beyond your obstacles to a more successful trading career. We explore the aspects of your life and trading history which offers pathways to developing a methodology and trading style suitable to your personality, financial condition and market involvement.

You get a dedicated trading coach and ally. I do not give you a so-called "winning system." What I do is guide you through a tested program that builds your skills and frees your intuition. As your trader coach, Steve Miller “Slim,” I hold you accountable for taking action, practicing new habits, being responsible and holding true to your trading method and disciplines. I provide 30 year’s experience as a trader, technical analyst, coach and facilitator.

The program begins with a very intensive first 3 weeks in which we build a relationship of discovery and trust and work on a broad range of trading issues. Coaching is done primarily on the phone and through email. The following is the general format for my coaching program.
 

 
A coach and client form an alliance designed to discover and overcome roadblocks, increase awareness and produce fulfilling results in the client’s personal and professional life. Coaches provide clarity, tools, support and a structure to more quickly achieve success. A coach is an impartial, positive, motivational guide who maintains safety and confidentiality.

What are the benefits of coaching?

Coaching helps clients define and reach goals, make changes and/or solve problems. They improve performance, develop strategies and build proficiencies… and get there much faster. Clients step more fully into their potential and increase their self reliance, and confidence.

Why hire a trader coach?

The motivation is similar to the reason people hire a fitness coach. As a trader, it’s just as important to gain psychological fitness… Get your mind and emotions in shape… Get your trading in shape!

As your trader coach, Steve Miller - “Slim,” helps you, the trader, discover the underlying aspects of your life that contaminate healthy trading. Together, we assess your trading style and identify and choose the best fit methodology for your personality, financial situation and market involvement. I hold you accountable for taking action, practicing new habits, being responsible and holding true to your trading method and disciplines.

Steven,
I have been receiving your Weekly e-mails for about 2 weeks, as well as reading you in SFO since you started writing for them. I want to thank you for insights that are based on your experiences as a real trader, I appreciate people who truly trade, vs. people who posture, write and teach, but couldn't trade their way out of a paper bag. I have been to the CBOE a number of times for seminars, and loved the exposure to the real world of trading, and would like to return to Chicago for one of your workshops when time allows.

I know you are busy and don't expect you to spend time on a reply,
Just wanted to say I truly appreciate your work!

I highly recommend Steve Miller as a Trading Coach/Consultant. Steve possesses a great deal of knowledge of the market. More importantly he has the ability to help you understand yourself and how you act and react not only in the marketplace, but throughout life as a whole.

Steve really listens to and gets to know his students. His demeanor is one of patience, understanding, coupled with wisdom.

My experience has been a very positive one and Steve is the best Coach/Consultant I've experienced.

I cannot stress enough that Steve is the real deal. It's been my experience that trading is only one facet of your life, but one not to be taken lightly! Steve teaches you how to integrate trading with the rest of your life experiences. My experience has been that Steve helps you to make the most of your potential, not only trading, but in the rest of your life as well.
