I'm Leslie Jouflas, founder of this educational website for traders and co-Author of Trade What You See How to Profit from Pattern Recognition and Essentials of Trading - It's Not What You Think, It's How You Think. I have been trading since 1996.
Through my online video series and through my mentoring program (limited to four new enrollees per month), I help traders who have been through ups and downs with their trading but have never been able to put the right pieces together in the right order at the right time.
Most traders who I work with are frustrated former customers of trading workshops, DVD programs and online webinars. Many have spent years and years trying to become successful and consistent in their trading and after much frustration are ready to give up. I help both traders in this situation and people who want to trade but want to avoid wasting years of time. Here’s how:
- I understand the process of trading and how to teach a process of learning trading in steps that traders can follow.
- I cover important topics that are not found in most programs, including trade exercises to develop the mental attitude to execute the trade setups.
- Most traders have common issues and sometimes habits that are bringing negative results and keeping them from becoming successful skilled traders. I help them discover then change those habits to create new habits.
The online video series and mentoring program both provide tools and techniques to create a program for traders that works for them. Are my approaches right for you? Maybe yes, maybe no.
- I don't advocate "get rich trading" approaches and have never seen one that works.
- I do advocate and strongly believe in mentorship, which I define as accountability and providing someone to evaluate trades, guidance through a challenging process and support.
- I work with serious, committed, traders. Trading requires perseverance and quite simply some hard work to put the right pieces at the right time in the right order. It is also a process of self-discovery as trading students have to be open to making changes in themselves to succeed.
There is a mistaken belief that adding more and more information about trading and technical analysis methods is a key to success. It is not. Instead, at some point traders must learn to focus and learn a process of evaluating steps they take in trading and put that into a cohesive trading plan.
I enjoy helping traders find consistency, teaching them how to set and reach their goals, and seeing those goals turn into the foundation of people reaching for their dreams. I meet and form friendships with my "family" of traders. I stay in contact with many of the traders who have been part of this program over the years.
I assist people with two products:
| 1. | Trading Live Online Video Academy monthly subscription |
| 2. | Trading Live Online Mentoring Program, which is limited to four new enrollees per month. |
Here's how they help.
Since I believe focus is such a huge part of success for traders, I produce short focused videos in the Trading Live Online Video Academy designed to teach traders with snapshots of important market and trading education. This subscription level is ideal for traders who have busy and demanding schedules and don't have time to waste but also have the desire to learn trading.
If the trader has 15 minutes per week I can help teach them to trade with these videos that cover important aspects they need, here are just a few examples;
- Pattern structure and recognition
- Entry tips and techniques
- Placing and moving stop losses
- Tips for managing losing trades
- Combining time frames
- Patterns into Support and Resistance
Please view these video samples from the Video Academy, just click on the links below,

Taking a few minutes each week to view these videos will help traders improve their trading performance by;
- Learning to analyze trading opportunities
- Learning to improve skills to execute a trading strategy
- Learn to protect capital with trade management tips
- Learn to strengthen technical analysis skills
These video topics and trading tips will be focused on your improving your trading skills.
Traders who receive this subscription will also be able to log into the live trading room a few days each month with me to see in real time how all of the market variations can play out and learn tips for managing trade setups. The backdated videos are also posted on the website so traders can view all of the videos that have been produced in addition to the current videos. The videos can be accessed from email or the website. The website is updated at the end of each month with all of the videos from that month as a resource to study.
I will also include access to some of my live trades that I recorded so you can literally look over my shoulder and learn my thinking process during real trade setups.

The Trading Live Online Mentoring Program is a full program without a time expiration that allows traders to study and progress at their own pace. It is for traders who are tired of the hype out there and want to work at learning a proven method that emphasizes building trading skills and teaches a trading process that traders can learn to understand how each and every action they take is impacting their bottom line. I believe that if traders do not know specifically how they make money and specifically how they lose money they will always be subject to a cycle of account volatility where they make money and then give it back. It's most important for traders to learn how to trade through losing periods. Trading through winning streaks is easy, learning to trade through losing streaks is another matter and I believe a key to success in trading.
It also of great importance to learn to develop the mindset as a tool that works with the method, without this it's not likely that a trader can move forward and become profitable. Both the mindset and the method have to be developed together.
Traders tend to form negative habits in trading that can keep them from moving forward and becoming profitable and the steps in this program can show traders how and where those negative habits show up and steps to take to build new habits.
Traders work in an environment of 100% uncertainty each day, meaning we never know how the right hand side of a chart is going to be filled in, so traders must learn to truly "think" and then act in probabilities. This means that one must learn to become comfortable with being uncomfortable in this uncertain environment. The mentoring program helps traders to understand this not only from an intellectual point of view but from also from an action point of view of learning to do the right thing.
I help traders learn these important aspects of trading with specific steps, trading exercises and feedback. This mentoring program is not a "boxed" program where the student is sent or accesses thousands of pieces of information and then left to once again figure out what to do with that information, it is a program that works with traders as individuals and moves forward as they are ready to move forward.
I have a vast resource of materials and information that students will be instructed to use as they progress. Let's face it too much too soon can cause mental overload. Learning anything is a process and I strive to present new information to students as they need it.
I invite you to learn more about my mentoring program.
Testimonials
...a massive thank you for all of your help and support. I can't begin to tell you how much I value your work and the help you have given me...
Chris E. London, UK
I feel so much more confident and relaxed now... I love the framework for looking at the markets you have taught me. I am becoming skilled at the basics of trading the AB=CD patterns, and I can see how I can now start focusing on specific skills like running profits to targets and (in the future) increasing size and adding other patterns. How wonderful, after so many years of wanting to be a consistent, profitable trader, to have those things to look forward to. Thanks Leslie!

I heard you explain to someone how to draw the extensions - I truly believe that saved that person a lot of time trying to figure out how to do it right, and wondering whether he did it right. It has really helped so much to look at the market with your calm and collect approach These (videos) provide valuable insights into the finer points of entering and managing trades. These videos are true gems of inspiration...
