An excellent trading community

I had been day trading with some success for years, but after a particularly trying period of drawdown and frustrated with the demands of day trading I became intrigued with Alan's approach as he described it on IG. I was reluctant to join a group that was going to teach me just a strategy or psychology, but what you get here is so much more, it gives you true freedom in time, as well as freedom from the mental ups and downs of day trading.

Having completed the 12 week course and started to trade live, I feel that I have levelled up in my trading, truly on the path to becoming a professional trader in my approach to the markets, from broker choice to mindset and expectations. The strategy itself is dead simple, honestly 100% mechanical with adjustable elements allowing you to personalise according to your own psychology. There is a lovely positive Discord group where you can ask anything at all and receive support from Alan and the community.

I never thought I would become a swing trader, but I am so happy not to be dealing with painful missed trades any more, and only having to be at the charts for 15 minutes a day.

If you are novice trader this is a place to 'cut out the noise' of so many different options about trading, as well as finding something really authentic, ethical, and tried and tested by many traders. If you are an experienced trader there is plenty of interesting material outside of just the strategy to get your teeth into, such as intro into stock trading, how to use props and live trading in combination strategically, as well as alternatives to the traditional prop firms for leveraging your account size that you may not have come across before. Also endless options to backtest the various trade management settings.

I only wish I had come across Alan and the Trifecta approach earlier.

Hi Louisa, this genuinely means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to write all of that.

And honestly, hearing that you’ve found more freedom with your time and mindset is exactly why I built the approach the way I did.

I know how draining day trading can become, especially when you’re stuck in front of the charts all day dealing with the emotional ups and downs, so it’s great to hear the switch to swing trading has helped you so much.

And you’ve put the work in properly over the 12 weeks and it’s been great seeing your progress and how seriously you’ve approached everything.

Really appreciate the kind words about the community as well. We’ve got a great group of people in there (you included :))

And yeah, this is exactly what I want the Trifecta approach to be. Simple, mechanical, and something that actually fits around real life.

Perfect for building the foundation to profitable confident trading

I got into trading 4 years ago, first learning from YouTube, and then from a mentor who I did a paid course with. Paper traded for almost 2 years and saw small double digit% gains but never got great results. Tried many strategies to increase my profit rate but none did....

If that sounds like you, you definitely should sign up for thedivergenttrader AKA Alan's course. What this course provides you is:

1. A profitable and robust strategy. Sure, many other people claim to have this and I don't doubt it but that's just the beginning. What's more important than a winning strategy are points #2 and onward below.
2. The process to build confidence in the strategy so that you never doubt that it works. No more jumping from strategy to strategy like a rangebound consolidation *wink :)
3. Plenty of trading psychology lessons, practical tips, and reminders to keep an even emotional keel. This prevents emotional overtrading where every win feels like a high but every loss feels like a lower low *wink wink :)
4. A community of like minded people who trade this mechanical, calm, 10minutes a day strategy. No overhyped traders posting profits and $$ emojis. Just pure support and sharing of ideas from people who are willing to help a stranger.

Within 2 months of starting the course, I had enough confidence to go live with the strategy on a small account. I'm in month 2 now, learned a lot, made many mistakes but I'm seeing the light now and definitely way more profitable than the last 4 years. 2 months maybe a short and small data point but it's definitely a great "start" for anyone who is or was in the same situation. Good luck trader!

Hey Ken, thank you for this. Really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review.

And honestly, this is exactly why I always say the strategy itself is only one part of it. The real goal is building confidence, consistency, and getting rid of all the noise and second guessing that keeps traders stuck.

It’s been great seeing how quickly you’ve progressed and and the confidence you’ve built.

And yeah, I’m really glad you mentioned the community side as well because that’s a massive part of it for me. Just calm, supportive traders all trying to improve together without all the hype and nonsense.

You’re doing really well mate. Keep following the process, keep stacking the reps, and the results will keep compounding over time.

Really appreciate you.

Alan’s course and mechanical strategy…

Alan’s course and mechanical strategy have been a great experience for me.

What I appreciate the most is how clear and structured the approach is. Instead of spending hours watching charts and second-guessing every move, the strategy provides simple rules that remove a lot of the noise and emotional decision-making.

Because it works on the daily timeframe and follows a mechanical process, I now have much more free time and don’t need to sit in front of the charts all day. I can manage trades calmly while still staying consistent with the plan.

If you’re looking for a straightforward system that brings structure, discipline, and more balance to your trading, this course is definitely worth it.

Want to start off by saying that I…

Want to start off by saying that I passed an FTMO Phase 1 and on my way to passed Phase 2 with this strategy, and it definitely works.

I got the course (not the 1-on-1). The course itself is enough. It's split into 3 weeks and each week is planned to step by step take you from a beginner in trading to teaching the mechanical trading method, fixing your psychology and building resilience and patience.

About the strategy - it's mind numbingly simple. Even a toddler could do it. It's mechanical so there's no guessing. If you and 10 other group chat are looking at the same pair, it's guaranteed you WILL take the same trade. There's no guesswork. For those who are worried 'how will I fill this around my busy work/life' you don't need to worry. You only require 10 mins to a) analyse all your pairs and b) place your trade. The more pairs you have the longer it will take but you get the gist.

It will require effort and backtesting from you to see for yourself if the strategy works or not and Alan encourages that from the get go.

I fully realise this sounds like an advertisement but I guarantee you it's not. If you think it's a get rich scheme it's definitely not that either. What it WILL do is it will help you be profitable.

The discord group chat is very helpful and people are friendly and really helpful. Alan encourages discussions, questions,doubts and accountability, all of which helps you become a better trader. Its a great environment with no judgment at all, and people have an open mind and appreciate that others in the group chat aren't necessarily in the same stage in trading as them, which is extremely helpful.

Give it a try.

Love this!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. And massive congrats on passing Phase 1 and being on the way to Phase 2 with FTMO that’s all you putting the work in.

I’m really glad you highlighted the effort and backtesting part. The strategy is simple, but it still takes responsibility and consistency and you’ve clearly embraced that.

Also appreciate you mentioning the Discord environment. That’s something I care a lot about. Open discussions, no ego, no judgment just traders trying to improve.

Seriously, thank you again. Means a lot. Now go smash Phase 2 💪

From doubter to mehanical trader

I joined Trifecta 3 months ago and I can definitely say that I made the right decision. I was thinking about joining for a while, but I couldn’t make the final decision because I had lost hope in both trading and myself. Despite that, I always knew that one day I would succeed.

Today I can safely say that the last 2 years have NOT given me as much clarity, inspiration, and most importantly a system to work with as the last 3 months with Alan.

I could never have imagined that backtesting could be so interesting.
I could never have imagined that a system to work with could be so simple and understandable.

Regardless of the fact that English in not my native language, I personally know that I will take a course that will give me the opportunity to ask Alan a question directly, because I know that we will have a language barrier which was I afraid of.
There were absolutely no problems with that, so if someone is afraid that the course will have specific terms that they won't understand, then they are not, but if they are, then Alan was always there for me.
This is for my brothers and sisters whose native language is not English.

In addition, I had no previous experience trading Forex, metals or indices. Alan helped me every step of the way. I know that I often asked him newbie questions, but they were questions that I really didn't have the answers to. And again, Alan was always there for me.
I would like to thank Alan and our entire Trifecta chat group for their continued support.
In short, if you are looking for a simple system to follow without any hesitation, and a mentor who will not let you get stuck, then Trifecta is for you!
Sorry for my English 😊
Greetings from Latvia!

Martins!

Hey Martins, thanks so much for the kind review I really appreciate it.

I’m really happy you came to me and that things are starting to feel a bit easier for you now. It’s great to hear you’ve enjoyed the coaching, and like you said, the language side wasn’t an issue at all.

Really glad you’ve enjoyed the whole experience has been great and that you’re where you want to be now since joining the Trifecta approach :)

Simple, easy and clearly defined. Everything I had been looking for.

I started with Alan at the beginning of November, and from the get go it has been so simple, so easy and clearly defined. The backtesting is a breeze, the rules are clear and I have gotten so much of my life back.

His system really is as he describes it and after learning it only requires 10 minutes a day. All of the extreme emotion, doubt and frustration that I experienced prior to working with Alan has gone and I can just concentrate on executing and refining.

The training content is great, all the tools you need are provided and the community is supportive and helpful.

This has been such a great investment for me and I have learnt and grown so much in the short time I have been with Alan. I am achieving the goals I set for myself and seeing the results.

No more subjectivity in trading

I joined the Trifecta program because I was mentally tired of day trading and especially of the subjectivity I always found in trading strategies.
I wanted something different - something mechanical, simple to follow, with clear rules that wouldn’t leave me with doubts that could later lead to emotional decisions. Fortunately, I decided to take this step and I couldn’t be more satisfied!

The strategy taught in the course is very simple and clear, and it even has the bonus of requiring almost no time spent analyzing charts.
So I can say to anyone who is struggling with the subjectivity of trading strategies that here is a solution to never hesitate again when entering a trade.

Nowadays I have zero doubts about what is or isn’t a valid trade, and that was the big change I needed.
The course is very complete and goes far beyond teaching just a trading system.

A big thank you to Alan for always being available to answer my questions and for his kindness.
A 5-star course, strategy, and mentor!

This is an early review as I've only started trifecta 1 week ago. I will update as I go along. After feeling deflated about trading, for the last few months, I'm 1 week in now and I now feel excited for the future. I've got the buzz back for trading again and I know I'm going to succeed now. Alan is great and so are all the people in the TTA group. Very helpful and answer questions straight away. If your on the fence just do it!

Must go for, even for pro traders

I had my systems running before taking Alan's course but they weren't as mechanical and hands-off. In comparison, Alan’s system provides entries earlier in the trend, which also have a greater chance of an explosive move. Even outside of the efficient system, I got a lot of ideas which when combined with my existing systems took my trading several notches up. Some more suggestions which can be included as chapters in the course: 1. More focus on Option traders, both sell side and buy side. 2. More focus on complete automation as a next step in hands-off-ness.

Cutting losers.... how to actually do it

I found the course extremely valuable. What stood out most for me—and what was new—was Alan’s approach to 'cutting losers.' It was a genuine eye-opener. Although we all understand the importance of cutting losses, Alan clearly showed how to do it in practice.

Follow the steps and you’ll succeed

Simple and impactful rules based system with short, detailed videos within the course that are easy to comprehend. I am enjoying seeing my own growth from eliminating the noise and focusing on the mechanical system. I have a very busy lifestyle but this system allows me to still trade without spending hours on guesswork and over analyzing. See the trade, take the trade! Thanks for the help and look forward to continuing the process with you!

Out of the loop, into profit - all thanks to Alan’s mentorship

I’m hugely appreciative and grateful to be part of this course. After struggling with day trading and feeling stuck in a miserable cycle, I reached out to Alan for help — and I’m so glad I did.

For the first time, I’ve learned a strategy that actually works and doesn’t require me to be glued to the charts all day. That alone has been a game-changer for both my trading and my quality of life.

What truly sets Alan apart is the emphasis on trading psychology. Most courses only teach a strategy, but Alan provides in-depth psychological resources that have helped me overcome the mental roadblocks that were holding me back. He tailors the course to your specific needs and areas of improvement, which makes a massive difference in your growth and profitability.

Alan is not only the best mentor I’ve ever had, but he’s also a genuinely kind person and a great listener. He takes the time to understand your challenges and supports you every step of the way.

I’ve only been in the course for one month and I’m already profitable. I’m excited to see where I’ll be in the next two months. For the first time, I’m out of the loop mode and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

I can’t recommend this enough for anyone serious about trading success.

Not only is the course well-structured and in-depth, but Alan also helps to figure out the true motivations and behaviors that were holding me back. As someone with deeply rooted issues on emotion and psychology, Alan gave tremendous insight on my own psyche and how I could tackle my issues.

Of course, you have to do the work and put in the effort, but it is through the process that I grew to trust the system and saw the progress in myself.

For anyone struggling to find consistency and want to grow - even as a person, this course would be highly beneficial.

I recently completed the 12 week one on one course with Alan, and it has significantly improved both my mindset and trading performance. Over 12 weeks, we focused on attention training, detachment, and mechanical trading.

Alan helped me sharpen my focus and develop routines to stay disciplined and emotionally detached from trade outcomes. The course also made my trading more consistent and objective.

Alan’s teaching style is practical and insightful, providing the tools to not just trade better, but think better. Highly recommended for anyone serious about improving their trading psychology

Rules based system

Training provides an actionable rules based plan to monitor trades once a day with a positive outcome. But one must backtest and prove it to themselves.

Trifecta Program

As a member of Alan's Trifecta Program I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to profitably trade financial markets.

After years of trying and failing as a trader, I am now seeing consistency, not just in results but in my approach to the markets, and I have a robust, repeatable strategy to implement on a daily basis.

The program consists of a simple mechanical system, coupled with building the mental fortitude to be able to consistently trade it day in and day out. It gives you the confidence to know exactly what to do and when to do it without any ambiguity.

Alan's mentorship sessions are conducted one-to-one, so are personally tailored to the individual trader. He is on hand to answer any queries as they arise and is also active on the group discord, answering questions, giving encouragement and discussing possible trades as they set up.

Alan personally trades the same system that he teaches and is happy to discuss his own trades with the group.

I would highly recommend this program.

Hi Lyndon,

Thanks so much for your great feedback on working together via the Trifecta program. I knew when we first got in touch that this was going to be a great fit.

You wanted a mechanical approach that would remove the overthinking and could fit around your lifestyle, and that's exactly what the program was about.

And seeing you progress, testing, working on the techniques/exercises and making consistent returns has been an absolute joy to watch.

All the best,

Alan

Prior to joining any Forex mentoship please ask the forex Guru to provide proof that his profitable. like Profit and loss report.

They will ask you to joing to show you the result. Dont do it. Your buying something that the forex Guru cannot provide proof of.

Dont believe the reply. When I ask for PNL report, he insisted that I join the group before he can show it to me.

Hi there,

I’m disappointed to see this.

You enquired about my trading program and asked for results. I was about to show you the results from my system but before I even had a chance to reply back you left a barrage of abusive messages and I politely told you I don’t think we are a good fit.

You then continued to insult me and so I had no choice but to block you.

Clearly you have took this to heart and it has triggered you to retaliate by leaving a negative review.

I apologise if that’s the case but I could accept being spoken to like that when I was trying to be respectful despite the aggressive and mocking behaviour.

I hope you reflect on this and make the right decision to remove the review.

But either way I wish you the best in life.
