"I TAKE A PERSONALIZED APPROACH TO HELP YOU BECOME THE BEST TRADER YOU CAN BE"
LEARN ABOUT MY TRADING JOURNEY
 I have been an independent trader since 1999 and experienced many wonderful highs and challenging lows. I’m fortunate to say that it was my persistence and passion that got me through this. Growing up, I never thought that I would become a trader given what my parents taught me about the risks of the stock market. I graduated from university with a business degree and immediately launched into a career as a Bean Counter. I loved numbers but felt that there was much more to explore. My path then led me to work for various companies including one of Canada’s fastest growing company, a financial advisory firm, several publicly traded companies and a stock market data provider. Then one day, I decided that I had enough of the corporate world and decided to fully immerse myself into the trading world. Having an entrepreneurial spirit definitely helped my transition into becoming a trader as it had all the benefits of being your own boss and able to work from anywhere in the world.
 
Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from and partner with various firms in the financial industry including venture capitalists, brokerage firms, investor relations, stock exchanges and day trading firms. With my vast knowledge and experiences, I started my coaching business in 2005 to help traders achieve the same level of success that I had in the Financial Markets. By 2011, I had many successful students including ones who went on to make millions in trading. Since then, I’ve been very fortunate to have the opportunity to develop a steady stream of even more successful traders. 

My passion is trading and it has allowed me to live a lifestyle that cultivates a truly cosmopolitan perspective of the global community. I’ve traveled to more than 100+ cities in the world and since 2016, I’ve been mainly based in Asia. I’m honored to be featured in the public media to share my trading experiences, including CNBC, Globe&Mail, Macleans, and BBC. Also, I’ve been on the other side of the media as a finance columnist for Ming Pao, one of the most popular Chinese-language newspapers in Canada. An immensely motivated teacher of all things stock-related, I’ve spoken at numerous trading events including the World Money Show & International Traders Expo on subjects ranging from Risk Management to Technical Analysis. As well, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with numerous brokerage firms to train their clients on my trading methodology. 

I hope my trading journey inspires you to do the same and find your passion as a trader!

"Anyone can be a good trader as long as you know your edge" 
Hear From What My Students Say

Chris Au

Before I found Mike, I started to learn trading in 2002 when the tech stock bubble burst. I wanted to learn because I want to make some money as my living. I had good teachers but sadly they could not teach their students to be successful traders. One of the teachers is even a chartered accountant and holding an MBA degree. Personally I do not know if he is a successful trader as he never said and his students never asked. I was really in vain because I was badly battered by the stock trading, when I talked to a gas station manager and raised the question that is there any better teacher in town who could teach successful student and the manager said that there could be but we do not know where to find. On returning home, I google searched and found Mike Ser and his meetup group. I enrolled his course and the rest is history. Perhaps My school fee payment stops at Mike as there is no need for me to find any, even let alone the chartered accountant. I am still subscribing his daily webinar and really good as it gives you another perspective of thinking, though you must have your own reasoning as well. For full time trading, you must have a full analysis of the market movement and apply what you have learned, before you trade and how successful you are before quitting your job. Trading looks easy but in reality it is not, there are a lot of pitfalls in the market that will easily whipsaw the traders.

Kenny Wong

I have been an equity trader for a very long time. I never really had any special training but I do have a very strong interest for investing in the financial markets. I have made and lost money quite consistently. The biggest challenge is trying to figure out when to enter the market and when to get out. I have never used any concept nor discipline consistently. One thing I have learned from Mike is definitely PATIENCE and all the techniques and methodology to establish a safer investing environment. I enjoyed Mike's guidance for projecting attainable potential returns but definitely and avoid the get rich scheme.

Joseph Lai

Meeting Mike was a lucky accident. For someone who had never bought a stock and got a headache whenever he heard about the Dow, becoming a trader was the furthest thing from my mind. However, in my time with Mike, concepts such as technical analysis, risk management, and trading strategies are no longer mysteries to me. I had the good fortune of having a professional who makes his living practicing what he preaches personally showing me the ropes.

SK Lo

I might perhaps be one of the few, if not the only, Mike Ser students who has started from ground zero – with only limited knowledge of technical analyses, market sensitivity and trading experience. Through the introduction of a friend, I attended a training course with Mike with some initial apprehension that my limited background might not be able to fit in. After the first meeting, I am happy to say that the concern has all disappeared. Mike turns out to be a very patient teacher, very “student friendly”, painstakingly introducing and explaining step by step the fundamentals for a beginner trader. Apart from the textbook knowledge of technical analyses, some of the most beneficial aspects of Mike’s training include his willingness to share life examples, his trading experience, and the important elements in the path that he has walked through to become a successful trader. After a few months of training (pretty slow for a mature student like myself), I have commenced to apply the course knowledge to practice. Throughout my trading days, Mike has unreservedly given me advice and support. Practical training continues after the course.

Morgan Clark

I highly recommend ‘The Trader Program’ to anyone interested in taking control of their own destiny. I found the course to be very specific and to the point, not a lot of confusion or unnecessary learning. Mike’s program is suitable for new traders through to the more advanced trader.

Jay Jolly

Mike’s trading program is like none I’ve ever seen… and I’ve seen a LOT! I’ve been a student of the markets for 35 years and taken numerous investment and trading courses in stock, futures, forex, and options. As a graduate of the “school of hard knocks” I’ve never had much success until now. Mike’s program has all those other programs beat! How is that? This program first teaches the principles and techniques of swing trading. Then, following the 5 weeks of instruction, Mike Ser, the pro trader/instructor, holds our hands for the next 2 months as we go through potential trade after trade after trade. We review not only the good ones, but the mediocre and bad ones as well, stepping through a specialized “trading plan” that outlines all the factors that consistently encompass a good trade.

Jorn Tabel

I am a trader who has been trading successfully for the last 5 years. However, I have been looking for ways to improve my results by reducing the volatility in my portfolio. A friend told me about Mike and I was fortunate enough to meet with him for a private one on one meeting. I was impressed that Mike took the time out of his busy schedule to meet with me personally. After speaking with him, I decided to take his course. I was VERY impressed with his course on many levels. It starts at the basics, and methodically takes you through what is important, and what is not, leaving all the fluff by the wayside. He teaches you about the charts, money management, as well as the mental attitude required. Mike then walks you through many real time examples of his craft, dissecting his choices to show you his system in action. In addition, Mike is a competent and very patient teacher, taking the time to answer questions and mentor one through the process. I have learned a great deal and it has improved my trading system immensely. Taking his course has improved my own system, and what’s most important to me – I am seeing results.

Lee Ingraham

I was searching for a way to take my trading to the next level and I'm very pleased at how things have turned out. I have a renewed focus and energy and I believe I can achieve my goals. No one can follow every market. Mike has helped me narrow my focus to just a few market sectors and trading strategies. With a narrower focus, I can concentrate on taking profits in my area and not worry about missing out on other opportunities.
