Earlier this year, Elliott Wave International began an affiliate relationship with Beacon Learning Group (BLG), to offer investors an Elliott Wave-based trading curriculum.
BLG's "coaches" provide expert instruction in Elliott wave-based trading: each one has professionally traded for at least 10 years. Students who have gone through the course give high marks to the curriculum and to the coaches themselves.
The right trading approach, the right coach, and the market of your choosing -- Elliott Wave International and the Beacon Learning Group offer you all three.
Here's a Q&A session I conducted with Beacon Learning Group's co-owner Phil Anderson:
------------
What do you believe distinguishes Beacon Learning's trading program?
As Beacon has experienced significant growth, our focus has been and will continue to be the individual. What sets Beacon apart is that our students have unlimited access to the coaches. In turn, each student can literally be centered on the pace that is right for them and their needs. We realize that our success as an organization comes one student at a time. This level of commitment lets every student know they are the very reason we love doing what we do.
Please describe your Special Warranty for students.
At the end of their covered coaching timeframe -- typically 6-to-24 months -- we warranty that any student enrolled in coaching will have realized gains to their trading capital that is at least equal to the tuition or we will continue working with that student free of any additional charge until they do.
What markets do you teach students to trade?
Our curriculum is focused on: forex, stocks (including ETF's), options and commodities.
Can your trading instructions be applied to a bear market?
Yes. If you have a solid trading plan and master the emotions associated with trading, there are great opportunities in a bear market. You learn how to identify them, and how to properly manage risk. Disciplined investors know that a bear market often presents great opportunities for success.
What information can you offer to student candidates who need trading guidance, but may be unsure about Beacon Learning?
Beacon currently coaches students in 42 countries. Coaching is based on the simple premise that you can personally learn from trial and error, or you can learn from someone that has already has that experience. The problem with trial and error is that many people run out of time and or money before they fully figure it out. Our coaching asks the question: what's the smartest, fastest, and least-risky way for you to get from where you are now to where you want to be tomorrow? If having a trading professional at your side as your personal coach makes sense, then you may find that to be the key on your own journey to success.

Here's just a few of the comments from students about their Beacon trading courses and coaches:
"Thanks to the stochastic idea, I had a huge day yesterday! I have spent a great deal of time doing market replay and counting waves in patterns using the stochastic. I am using 3 timeframes to get my bearings.
It is amazing how well it works... it is like clockwork.
I'm amazed at how well it does on every time frame. It really astounds me. I paid for the cost of the EW coaching in just one day."

"Just a quick note ... I just traded a New York session with 12 trades, 3 break-even, 9 wins, and 0 losses for 496 pips (that's 496 honest pips). Do you think I'm happy? Boy, I'm going to sleep well tonight!"
S. Hungerford

"I wanted to let you know how valuable my coaching sessions have been. I have learned a lot from my coach and have gained a lot of confidence in my trading...I am having much more success in my trading and I attribute that success directly to my coaching sessions."
B. Schwind
Albany, New York
"My coach has a wealth of knowledge...His patience and respectful teaching style has made this a very positive and a very valuable experience. I now have a much clearer picture of what I need for a Trading Plan that works best for me. By following that plan, I am more confident in my trades and have greatly improved my win/loss ratio. The value is definitely there. From my experience, I can recommend Beacon's Personal Coaching Program without hesitation."

Will you be the next happy trading student?
Remember the Warranty that Phil mentioned: At the end of the coaching timeframe, your trading gains must be equal to the tuition, or Beacon will continue to provide coaching until it does.
