Trader Diagnostics, Trader Evaluation

Samuel Araki — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 03:56:00 +0000

Diagnostics sounds too much like a car going through some testing. So I think evaluation is a better descriptor.

Whatever the case, we’re working with a potential partner right now who has developed a Trader Diagnostic program, where a trader can continually see where he/she is strong/weak in their trading.

We’ll get some additional information out but in the meantime, if anyone wants to jump the gun and get a free diagnosis of their trading, just drop me a quick line at sam(at)tradingmetro.com.

If you want to fast track it attach a 3 – 6 month trading log/report in Excel (spreadsheet) format and you should get back a diagnosis within a week or so!

Forex GPS – Course with a Guarantee

Had an inquiry today from a trader regarding a few things and one of his questions was about Gordon Philips (a solutions provider for TradingMetro) and his course.

I haven’t made any of my thoughts public on this, yet, which I should have a LONG time ago, but this is a dynamite offering where Gordon puts his own neck on the line. The THIS of which I speak is Gordon’s Forex GPS service.

Below are some thoughts I shared in my email with the aforementioned trader as well as a graphic highlighting what is included in the service.

As far as Gordon’s Forex GPS offering goes, it’s pretty unique. It’s $720. He asks each student to open an account for the same amount, and within the first three months (he sends a daily trading alert) he’ll ensure that you make $720 – the original course price. If that doesn’t happen, he will pay the difference out of his pocket. All alerts sent are set-ups based on his strategy, which he teaches as part of his course that is included with this. So it’s the earn while you learn philosophy.

There is nothing as a no-lose situation, but in this case I think Gordon has put himself sufficiently out there.

Around the Block with TradingMetro

There is always activity here at TradingMetro. We generally view ourselves as a an upstart start-up. We have a great concept, which we need to do a BETTER job of conveying through the various parts of our website (namely the About Us) section – but I’d like to think that it’s because we’re so busy developing relationships and opportunity with others that I’ve been slow in changing how we describe what we do.

I need to carve time out and really explain, and probably record a video sharing the true vision of TradingMetro.

That said, in the past couple of weeks, we’ve come to agreements with two established Forex educators.

ForexMentor is using the Adobe Connect Pro Powered by TradingMetro presentation platform to deliver its LiveConnect Trading Room service.

We are also on the verge of finalizing an agreement with YourTradingRoom.com – an a fast growing Australian-based company to process all credit card payments for all its North American distributors.

We will also on the verge of adding a daily Forex analysis newsletter service, as well as a few other Forex courses to our marketplace. Things are moving and we’re continuing to develop our technology and relationships with those in the industry.

Flip the Funnel – Understanding the Consumer

Samuel Araki — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:45:47 +0000

One of the core focuses of TradingMetro is customer happiness. We realize not everyone can be happy at all times, but there are particular steps that can be taken to ensure each and every customer is treated fairly with our own happiness zeal.

Joseph Jaffe has just released a great book, Flip the Funnel, with insight into flipping the traditional sales funnel. The lightbulb went off in my own head a couple of months ago

Sometimes we’re so mired in our own thoughts, developments, and evolution that we miss some obvious signs. Flipping the funnel as a term isn’t new. Seth Godin shared his thoughts on it in a series of free ebooks, but it’s always great to see and listen to various perspectives.

In our case, as TradingMetro seeks to partner with industry solutions providers, one of our recent focuses has been in encouraging providers to re-approach past purchasers of their products/services with new and improved tools they have. I call it the level of engagement. Past purchasers purchased for a reason. They saw good in the solution they bought.

There are a few different approaches that can be used. It isn’t always just about finding new folks to market to. That’s part of it to be sure, but flipping the funnel as Jaffe shares is far often overlooked.
