Trading Mentorship With a Full-Time Futures Trader
Daily 1-on-1 coaching on your own trades. Five students max, so you actually get my attention.
I'm Joakim, a full-time futures day trader. I trade ES, YM and RTY every morning, and I mentor a small group of traders on the side. Not a course, not a Discord full of signals. You trade, I watch what you do, and we fix it together every day.
I built this because I learned the hard way, alone, and it took years longer than it needed to. A good trading mentor would have saved me most of that. So this is the mentorship I wish I had.
What Trading Mentorship Actually Is
Most "trading mentorship programs" are recorded videos with a chat room attached. That teaches you information. It doesn't fix how you trade, because nobody is looking at your trades.
Real mentorship is supervision. Someone who trades the same market looks at your plan before the open, sees your trades during the session and tells you straight what you did wrong after. That feedback loop is the whole product. It's why traders with a mentor usually get consistent faster than traders who figure it out alone.
The short version
1-on-1 futures trading mentorship, every trading day, with a trader who is live in the same markets. $1,200 for one month or $2,499 for three months. Everyone starts with a $20 intro call so we both know it's a fit.
How a Day in the Mentorship Works
This is what working with me as your day trading mentor looks like on a normal session:
Your plan, checked
You send your levels and bias using my pre-market checklist. I check it and tell you what I'd change before the open.
Real-time guidance
You trade your plan. When you're unsure about a setup or a management decision, you ask and I answer while it matters, not a week later.
Trade review
We go through what you took and why. Good trades that lost money get praised. Bad trades that made money get flagged. The process is the scoreboard.
Patterns and next step
Every week we look at the patterns in your review and pick the one thing to fix next. Usually it's risk, patience or revenge trading.
What You Learn
- A strategy you understand. Built around order flow, volume profile and VWAP and key levels. Your version of it, not a copy of mine.
- Risk management that holds up. Position sizing, daily loss limits and how to size against a prop firm's trailing drawdown.
- Execution. Entries, stops and management on ES, NQ, YM and RTY, or the micros while you build up.
- Trading psychology. Handling losses, stopping the tilt spiral and following your rules when it's hard.
- Routine and journaling. A daily process and a journal habit that actually shows you what to fix.

Why the $20 intro? I tried free calls and people didn't show up. Twenty bucks fixed that. It's a real one-hour session where we look at where you're stuck, and I'll tell you honestly if mentorship makes sense for you right now. If you want to compare prices across the market, I broke that down in how much a trading mentor costs.

How to Choose a Trading Mentor (Even If It's Not Me)
- They trade live. Ask what they traded today. A mentor who stopped trading is teaching from memory.
- They cap students. "1-on-1" with 300 students is not 1-on-1.
- Real reviews. Names, countries, a third-party platform. Not screenshots of Lamborghinis.
- No income promises. Anyone guaranteeing profits is selling you the dream, not a skill.
- They qualify you. A good mentor sometimes says "not yet". That's how you know they care about results.

Trading Mentorship FAQ
What is trading mentorship?
Trading mentorship is when an experienced trader works with you directly on your own trading. Not a course you watch alone, but someone who looks at your plan, your trades and your mistakes and tells you what to fix. In my mentorship that happens every trading day, 1-on-1.
How much does a trading mentor cost?
Real 1-on-1 trading mentorship usually costs $1,000 to $10,000 depending on access and length. My program is $1,200 for one month or $2,499 for three months of daily 1-on-1 coaching, and everyone starts with a $20 intro session.
How do I find a good trading mentor?
Look for someone who trades live themselves, caps their number of students, has reviews under real names, and never promises income. A good mentor asks about you before selling to you, and will tell you if mentorship is not the right move yet.
Do I need experience to join a day trading mentorship?
No. Complete beginners often do best because there are no bad habits to undo. What you need is time to practice, money you can afford to put in a small account later, and the willingness to follow a process.
What markets do you mentor?
Index futures: ES, NQ, YM and RTY, plus their micro versions MES, MNQ, MYM and M2K. That is what I trade every day, so that is what I teach.
Can a mentor help me pass a prop firm evaluation?
Yes, a lot of my students trade prop firm accounts. We work on the things that actually fail evaluations: sizing against the trailing drawdown, daily loss limits and revenge trading. I don't promise a pass, but the process is built for it. My prop firm evaluation guide covers the basics.
Start where every student starts. One hour, $20, and an honest answer on whether we're a fit.
