Rich’s History

🎓 Psychology Degree

I hold a BA In Philosophy and a Masters in Clinical Psychology.

📉 Professional Trader

I started my trading career with Merrill Lynch in 1983 and continued at the Chicago Board of Trade. I went from being “the worst trainee that Merill Lynch ever had” to starting and running my own highly profitable trading firm, employing others to trade my money.

📊 Built my Own Trading Firm

I founded my own trading firm Trade Management LLC - one of the most consistently profitable options and equity trading firms on the floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange.

🧑‍💼 Board Director

I served as Board Director on the Pacific Exchange and chaired the New Products Committee. With in-depth experience as a broker, floor trader, financial software developer and entrepreneur, I brought concrete real-world experience to my students and clients.

👨‍💻 Founded a Software Company

I founded and built ePIT Systems; a software company which produces internet exchange software solutions for the regulated and over-the-counter marketplaces. At ePIT I designed and received seven significant patents on electronic trading interfaces and saw ePIT’s systems and patent technology purchased by Hitachi.

🏫 Mentoring Others

I work as an Independent Consultant to Finance Houses at $10,000 per day. I teach traders revolutionary methods on how to overcome psychological issues and maximise their potential via my Mind Muscles Academy.

The biggest question we get asked? "Why on earth are you so reasonably priced?"

Our founder’s philosophy is that education should be available to all at a reasonable price. When Marc started learning how to trade back in 2002 he came across many supposed forex mentors who were simply on a mission to make money selling coaching. He fell for several ‘get rich quick’ scams, just like many of you have.
“I know how hard it is without the correct guidance, and I don’t want people to struggle unnecessarily like I did. People are understandably wary with Forex coaches & mentors and from past experience, I know why!” Marc Walton

No! Everything is included. Our trading software is available at no cost as long as you are a member and you can download the trading software, free of charge from our recommended forex brokers.
