Start the Journey to Becoming a Self-Made Trader

6 Questions Every Trader Must Answer

1. Are you jumping into trades without a proper strategy, knowing deep down that you need to stop and rebuild your approach from the ground up?
2. Do you struggle to analyze charts effectively, unsure how to identify trends, support/resistance, and high-probability trade setups that actually work?
3. Are you uncertain about position sizing and stop-losses, watching your account balance shrink because you can’t properly manage risk and reward?
4. Do you waste hours scanning for trades, only to miss the best opportunities because you lack a systematic approach to building and managing a watchlist?
5. Are you letting emotions control your trades, entering too early, holding too long, or closing in panic rather than following a clear plan?
6. Do you find yourself repeating the same mistakes, unable to consistently execute trades from the point of analysis to the exit despite knowing what you “should” do?

If you answered “no” to all of these questions, congratulations! You’re already a confident, systematic trader. You can close this page.

But if you nodded your head even once and want to finally break free from the confusion and start trading with clarity, confidence, and a proven strategy…

Then read on!

Hi, I’m Ryan Mallory

CREATOR OF THE SELF-MADE TRADER

I’ve spent over three decades developing and refining a systematic approach to swing trading that transforms emotional decision-making into consistent, rule-based trading.

What started as a personal journey to become a better trader turned into a mission to help others develop the skills and confidence to trade independently in any market condition.

If you’re reading this, then something in your trading has caused you to stop and think,

“There must be a better way!”

Maybe you’ve watched promising trades turn into losses because emotions took over your decision-making.

You might feel overwhelmed by market information and conflicting advice, unsure which signals to trust and which to ignore.

Maybe you’re tired of second-guessing every trade entry and exit, watching potential profits slip away due to hesitation.

Or maybe you understand technical analysis but struggle to turn that knowledge into consistent trading results.

Whatever your situation, I can tell you that you’re not alone.

Why do most traders struggle with consistency and confidence?

When I ask traders why they’re not achieving their goals (and instead they are often scaling back their trading), the #1 answer is always:

Emotional trading!

They share things like…

‘I know what I should do, but when real money is on the line, I freeze.’

‘Every win is followed by two emotional losses.’

‘I can spot the setups but I can’t pull the trigger when it matters.’

This cycle of emotional decision-making has become the ‘normal’ trading experience.

Why? Because the trader’s emotional state of mind is reaching its breaking point. We face too many decisions, too much information, and too much market noise.

How can we trade successfully when our emotions are working against us?

The answer is to build a systematic trading approach.

A systematic approach is simply a structured way to analyze, enter, and manage trades while keeping emotions in check. It’s your personal trading framework that guides every decision.

It is my goal to help traders to use a systematic approach to trading that is able to:

Transform emotional reactions into rule-based decisions
Focus on high-probability setups while ignoring market noise
Manage positions with clear rules rather than gut feelings
Know exactly when to enter and exit trades
Protect capital through proper position sizing and risk management

What you’ll be learning and doing in The Self-Made Trader

Every module contains in-depth, detailed videos, concrete action steps, and reflection exercises so you can put what you learn into practice immediately.

Week 1: Stop What You're Doing

This foundational unit strips away common misconceptions and rebuilds your trading approach from the ground up while focusing on the essentials that truly matter to trading success – proper risk management, narrowing your focus, position sizing, and regularly booking profits.

Week 2: The Swing Trading Basics

Build your trading foundation by mastering the core principles that matter—from determining your ideal trading frequency and chart setup to managing the optimal number of positions that matches your personal style and goals.

Week 3: Learning Technical Analysis

Here we’ll dive into price action using technical analysis where we’ll learn to interpret candlestick patterns, volume signals, and key indicators while understanding the emotional behavior behind chart movements that create profitable trading opportunities.

Week 4: Trends, Channels, Support & Resistance, Tops & Bottoms

Identifying and trading powerful chart patterns is a critical element of your trading journey. From trendlines and channels to reversal patterns, we will focus on where where price is likely to find support, face resistance, or break right through them.

Week 5: The Top-Down Trading Strategy

Having a strategy that supports your trading approach is critical. This is where you’ll learn how to analyze the stock market by using the top-down trading strategy, which helps you identify the strongest opportunities by following market momentum from broad indices through the sectors and industries, down to individual stocks that are most likely to make significant moves.

Week 6: Analysis of The Market & Stocks + Knowing What's Bullish vs. Bearish

Now we start to study the subtle nuances of trading where we learn to read market dynamics through understanding key indices, sector rotations, and market indicators that reveal where money is flowing, which helps to increase the probabilities for trading success.

Week 7: Factoring in Risk & Reward into Your Trading

This is where I put a heavy focus on risk management by develop a systematic approach to managing risk and reward that focuses on the amount of capital to risk, when to take profits, and how to size positions while keeping losses small and avoiding the pitfalls that destroy trading accounts.

Week 8: Scanning for Stocks and Developing a Watchlist

Build and maintain scans and watchlists, and learn how to build your very own unique trading scans to help identify the best trade setups.

Week 9: Setting Up The Trade and Executing It

Master the precise mechanics of trade execution by learning how to identify optimal entries, set strategic stop losses, and establish profit targets while avoiding the common traps of chasing prices and taking oversized risks.

Week 10: Managing the Trade

Now we zero in on trade management; from protecting positions with strategic stop losses to letting winners run that turn promising setups into profitable trades, raising stops and minimizing unnecessary trade exits.

Week 11: Closing Out the Trade

At some point, one has to exit the trade, and here I go through my strategy of taking partial profits, how to identify warning signs, and when to completely exit trades while also applying the lessons learned from the trade to future trades as well.

Week 12: Making Trade Psychology Work In Your Favor

The mental game, when it comes to trading, is huge! By understanding how to manage emotions, avoid common psychological traps like FOMO, revenge trading, and maintaining composure during both winning and losing streaks, you’ll be in a position to focus on your trades without the emotional drawbacks.

Week 13: Shorting Stocks

I cover the mechanics and my strategy of short selling, including specific risk management techniques and optimal market conditions for shorting stocks as well as show you how very different it is from buying or going long on stocks.

Week 14: Bringing It All Together

Watch theory transform into practice through real-world trading examples that demonstrate how all the course elements, from scans, watchlists and analysis to entry, trade management and exit, all come together to form your trading system.

Student Reviews

Thank you for all that you do to educate and inform. I appreciate how authentic you are. As a new beginner to investing and trading, I have really connected with your approach.

Janelle C.

I first emailed you after losing about 50% of my portfolio trading with the WSB crowd. I went from $40k to down $25k in a few months. Since then, I went from $25k down all the way to $15k and now back up to $20k. I can actually see an inverse head and shoulders pattern in my portfolio balance so I’m really hoping that bottom holds. I know you tell us not to judge by the numbers but it’s the easiest way for me to portray how much you’ve helped me.

Matt T.

Ryan, thank you for your guidance. I used to fall victim to the urge to “have” to be in a trade. Not now.

John D.

I feel really lucky to have found Ryan. I listened to him repeat over and over and over again the importance of risk management. I have run with that and it has kept my account alive while I learn how to navigate the stock market.

Ken G.

Ryan, your trading strategy & knowledge is incredible. First holding the short positions the way you did through that up move was impressive, and not entering long positions and waiting for short ones and jumping in on those instead. You know your stuff and every day is a learning opportunity.

Ray C.

Thank you for helping me regain my footing.

Casey D.

I have to say Ryan’s guidance has really helped me with my need to trade. I’ve become much more patient with just waiting until I see something that I think will work out well.

Rob P.

I have learned to be patient from Ryan. I wasted so much money at the start by overtrading, as I bought a course from someone else, and they promoted placing a lot of trades and had no emphasis on patience. If I had not listened to you, I would have probably lost all my trading capital and given up. Since I started learning from you, I’m back in the green!

John O.

Ryan I want to thank you big time! Because of your help and teachings, I was able to quit my 9-5 job and my first offer on a house was accepted today!

Kevin B.

Many of the questions that came up for me daily have been answered. Thank you for all your hard work. You are changing lives.

A final word from Ryan

Imagine what it would be like to look at any chart and instantly recognize high-probability trading opportunities with complete confidence.

That you could wave goodbye to analysis paralysis because you have a systematic way to evaluate trades and manage risk.

You could enter positions decisively without second-guessing yourself. You could manage your trades without wondering whether emotions were clouding your judgment. You could sleep soundly at night knowing your capital is protected by proper position sizing and well-placed stop-losses.

If you’re serious about trading, you cannot afford to keep making decisions based on gut feelings and hope. You can’t afford to let fear and greed drive your trading while watching potential profits slip away.

It’s time to become a systematic, self-reliant trader and fully unlock the potential you know you’re capable of.

Don’t spend years learning these lessons the hard way through costly mistakes like I did. Don’t resign yourself to inconsistent results and emotional decision-making. Don’t reach the end of your trading journey wondering if you could have been successful with the right foundation.

Join me and learn how to transform market chaos into clear trading opportunities. Discover what it’s really like to trade with complete confidence in your system and your decisions.

See you inside!

How long is the course?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:10:50-05:00

How long is the course?

If you do one lesson per day, the course lasts for 102 days — that’s fourteen and a half weeks. Upon enrolling, you’ll gain access to the first 11 modules to help build the foundation of your trading going forward. The course as a whole represents over 25 hours of video lessons. To say the least, it is an intense course!

What do the lessons look like?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:13:35-05:00

What do the lessons look like?

Every module contains focused video lessons covering specific trading topics. Each lesson builds upon the previous content, showing you exactly how to apply the concepts from one module to the next. It is essential that you go through each one, and in order, as you’ll be learning valuable lessons from each module while developing your systematic approach to the markets. At the end of each video lesson, you’ll be provided reflection points for you to consider before moving on to the next module.

How long will each lesson take?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:16:35-05:00

How long will each lesson take?

Each video lesson is about 12-18 minutes on average. If you go through the reflection questions as well, it will add an addition 15-30 minutes on average to complete.

Should I keep trading while I am taking this course?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:17:56-05:00

Should I keep trading while I am taking this course?

The decision to trade while taking The Self-Made Trader course is entirely personal. Some students continue trading while applying new concepts as they learn them, while others prefer to step back temporarily and rebuild their trading foundation from the ground up. Both approaches can work – but it depends on your current trading style and comfort with making adjustments to your existing strategy. What matters most is that you give yourself the space to properly absorb and implement the course material in a way that best suits your learning style.

How much time should I set aside per week to complete the course properly?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:20:26-05:00

How much time should I set aside per week to complete the course properly?

While you can progress at your own pace, I recommend setting aside at least 4-5 hours per week to properly absorb the material. This allows time to watch the video lessons, review key concepts, study the chart examples, and practice identifying setups in current market conditions. Students who spend additional time practicing pattern recognition and analyzing real-time market scenarios often find they grasp the concepts more thoroughly. The most important thing is maintaining consistency in your learning rather than rushing through the material. If you can’t dedicate this much time to the course each week, you can stretch the course over a longer period — whether that’s an additional few weeks or even longer. The key is being consistent and dedicated to the process, even if you can only dedicate a couple hours each week.

Can I unlock the material more quickly? What if I’m going away?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:23:22-05:00

Can I unlock the material more quickly? What if I’m going away?

Lessons are unlocked in weekly batches, which can help you get ahead. However, I recommend working daily on the course, as it is designed to build upon the lessons learned and knowledge gained each day. Rushing through the process will not provide enough time required to properly absorb all the teachings in the Self-Made Trader.

What happens if I don’t finish the course at the end of the 14 weeks?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:24:44-05:00

What happens if I don’t finish the course at the end of the 14 weeks?

You’ll maintain lifetime access to all course materials, so you can revisit any lesson at your own pace. Trading is a life-long journey of continuous learning, and many students find themselves returning to specific modules as their trading evolves, as market conditions change, or simply to refresh themselves on certain lessons. You’ll keep access to the course material, so you can return to it at any point.

Can I buy the course as a gift?Ryan Mallory2024-11-03T22:25:17-05:00

Can I buy the course as a gift?
