The Stock Trading Course That Puts YOU in Total Control of Your Stock Trading
My name’s Adrian Reid and I am a full time stock trader of 20+ years and the Founder of Enlightened Stock Trading… Our stock trading course is the only course that puts you in total control of your stock trading.
You are here because you want to learn stock trading so you can potentially build wealth and freedom to give you the life you want right?… BUT I know you are skeptical of me and everyone else online offering to help you learn stock trading, and rightly so!
Not Just Another Online Stock Trading Course
The truth is you should be skeptical because there is just so much garbage online about trading. When you start to learn stock trading with me, you will see I approach things very differently. If you will suspend judgement for a few moments, I will show you that Enlightened Stock Trading is totally different from everything else you have seen in the stock trading course and education space.
Early in my trading education (over 20 years ago now) I read hundreds of trading books on my journey trying to find the answers. From those books I tried countless different trading strategies which the authors claimed to be profitable. The trouble was none of them worked for ME.
You have probably had similar experiences right?
I had three major realizations that finally helped me start making money, and have been making me money trading ever since. These are at the core of everything I do at Enlightened Stock Trading.
Trading Systems Are The Fastest Way To Learn Stock Trading
You have probably realized by now that most trading approaches require a degree of discretion… some experience… the judgement to know exactly what to do. Most methods have rules, but there is usually some level of subjectivity in the rules which requires your experienced judgement to make the final decision.
This is great if you already have 30 years of trading experience, but you probably don’t since you are still here looking for answers right? If you are anything like me, I found that I would constantly screw up my trading decisions because of that tiny little bit of discretion and I would second guess everything I did.
So my first major realization was that to stop making mistakes and start trading consistently I had to eliminate 100% of the discretion in my trading and adopt 100% objective trading rules. That way I could just follow the rules and stop screwing it up with my own judgement.
This led me to discover trading systems which give traders a HUGE advantage over traders who use discretionary technical analysis. After mentoring hundreds of trading students to profitability over the decade I know that adopting a good stock trading system gives you a HUGE advantage when learning to trade stocks because it eliminates the variation caused by your subjectivity and basically stops us screwing up our own trading decisions. If you want to succeed, then proven and profitable stock trading systems should be at the core of any stock trading course you take.
Your Stock Trading System Must Fit YOU
I have tried many different trading systems over the last 20+ years I have been a stock trader. I tried trend trading systems, swing trading systems, mean reversion systems and day trading systems. These systems either made me a lot of money, or caused me to lose money hand over fist.
One time I tried a day trading system that I had developed and managed to lose $30,000 in the space of just 3 weeks. The system was profitable, but I made so many mistakes trading it that I lost a ton of money extremely quickly. As a result of this experience and observing hundreds of would be day traders I have a very strong view of day trading – It is the worst trading strategy to start trading.
Why did this happen?
What I realized after 3 years of trying to learn to trade stocks was that if I was going to be profitable, I needed a stock trading system that fit me. That day trading system didn’t fit me because I had a full time job. I was busy traveling for work, in client meetings, on the phone etc and I was also trying to watch the markets and make 10-15 trades a day.
It was hugely stressful and a total financial disaster!
That experience showed that a good trading system is one that fits you. It doesn’t matter how profitable your trading system is, if it stresses you out, if it doesn’t fit your lifestyle, if the drawdown is too big for you to stomach then you will make so many trading mistakes that you would be better off leaving your money in the bank!
In short, your trading strategy must be compatible with your trading psychology!
To make money, your trading system must match your:
Personality so you felt calm and comfortable trading it.
Objectives so the drawdowns and risk profile are within your tolerance.
Lifestyle so that you can follow the rules consistently without mistakes or life getting in the way.
In The Trader Success System (my advanced stock trading course) I show you how to understand your T6 Trader Profile and then map this to the right trading system for you. You won’t find that anywhere else online. It takes a little effort, but it pays off hugely!
Building Confidence Through Correct Backtesting
My final game changing realization came when I found myself following a system and having 27 losing trades in a row. It was brutal and totally shattered my confidence even though I had mad money with the system for many months before the losing streak.
I was about to throw in the towel and give it up when I started asking why this was happening to a system that was previously extremely profitable. In my search for answers I came across portfolio backtesting.
I am not talking about the chart based backtesting where you look at a few months of history and maybe 50-100 trades… I mean portfolio level backtesting using trading software like Amibroker that tests automatically over the last 30 years of market history, over thousands of stocks generating thousands of trades. I am sorry to tell you, but looking at your indicators on a few charts or paper trading for a month is just not enough because it does not show you how position sizing can help you achieve your trading goals, nor does it show you how deep your drawdowns could get – Both of which are critical if you are to survive long term as a trader.
If you want to succeed, you need to learn to backtest correctly, thoroughly!
I discovered that with the right trading software it is possible to run extensive backtests in a matter of minutes and get much deeper insights into the trading system’s performance. This allowed me to look at with all of the components of my trading system to figure out why I was suddenly getting so many losing trades. I fixed the system and made money from then on.
You have probably seen online people talking about trading systems and trading robots or algos that lost them a ton of money right?
The reason this happens is those trading systems and algos are heavily optimized to the past data to make them look really attractive… They do this so you will give your hard earned money to the marketer selling them. Sadly this is very common and gives trading systems a bad name.
But it doesn’t have to be this way!
The Enlightened Stock Trading approach shows you the right approach to trading system development, to ensure they have a stable and robust edge which is likely to continue to be profitable into the future. The difference is in the process you use to backtest, looking for stability and robustness first rather than just optimizing blindly to make the backtest look good.

A Stock Market Trading Course With a Difference
As a new stock trader, there is a bewildering range of choices for you to learn online stock trading. The best choice is the one that empowers you as the trader to become successful and independent.
Most trading courses just give you a set of stock trading system rules to blindly follow, or worse provide trading signals that are derived from a black box where you have no visibility of the process that generates the trades.
Our share market trading course is different… during your trading education journey with us you will be empowered with the skills you need to become a confident, independent trader. No matter which markets you trade. This is because we don’t just teach you the trading system rules, you will also learn how and why they work, and how to backtest the rules for yourself to build confidence in your new trading strategies.
Share trading for beginners is best learned through The System Trader Launchpad Program which includes an introduction to systematic trading for stocks. This membership will get you up and running with confidence in just a few weeks, no matter your starting point.
For more advanced traders who already know the basics and really want to accelerate their stock trading, The Trader Success System is an advanced share trading course that will teach you how to master systematic trading, backtesting, portfolio construction, short selling, trading psychology and more… plus give you a large number of trading systems that are ready for you to backtest and trade.

Frequently Asked Questions about Enlightened Stock Trading

The best share market trading course in Australia is the one that is designed to empower you as a trader to profitably trade on the Australian Stock Exchange with trading systems that actually work in the Australian market. The share trading systems that work in Australia are different than those that work in the US and other markets, because all markets have their own unique personality driven by the different market participants and industry makeup.

The Trader Success System has all of this – Australian specific trading systems as well as systems for international share markets and clear step by step instructions on how to build a diversified portfolio of share trading systems.
How can I learn stock market trading?
There are three methods to learn stock trading, ranging from slow and ineffective to fast and efficient. They are:
1. Trial and Error:
Most new traders just jump into the markets with either a demo trading account or a live trading account and start trading, taking tips and listening to social media trading groups for guidance. This is the WORST and MOST COSTLY method to learn share market trading. It is the most costly because despite the fact that you don’t pay for any courses, you will pay for your learning with real losses in the market. Most traders who learn by Trial and Error end up blowing up multiple share trading accounts before learning how to trade profitably.
2. Reading The Best Share Trading Books:
If you like to read trading books then you can certainly learn share market trading by reading a large number of trading books. This certainly works because that was my approach 20 years ago when I first learned share trading. The challenge is most trading books are quite repetitive and contain a lot of irrelevant padding which just doesn’t help you. I read over 200 trading books on my journey to profitable share trading… needless to say this took a long time. So while this method does not cost you much in dollar terms, it does cost a HUGE amount of TIME. As the saying goes, time is money… because every month that goes by is a lost compounding opportunity.
3. Take an Enlightened Stock Trading Online Stock Trading Course:
The fastest and most cost effective way to become a successful stock trader is to join The Trader Success System membership. Whilst this is obviously a continuing investment in your trading, it saves you an immense amount of time and ensures you start trading the right way so you won’t blow up your account and lose everything like most traders. Our members typically start trading systematically live in as little as a few weeks after joining our membership. This accelerated pathway will make your compounding kick in sooner which will dramatically increase your future wealth as a result!
What qualifications do you need to be a stock market trader?
One of the great things about being a private stock market trader is that you don’t need any qualifications at all to get started. Anyone can open a share trading account and start managing their own money. However, you do need to learn the skills to succeed trading stocks, and that is exactly what you will learn in The Trader Success System.
Obviously if you want a job as a share trader for a trading firm or fund you will need relevant qualifications in finance to even get a look in the door. But this is not my preferred approach – Private trading for your own account is the best way for most people to learn stock trading and build their wealth as trading jobs are hard to come by, very competitive and extremely high pressure. I started trading for freedom, not stress and pressure, so that is why I am a private trader.
