We offer innovative software solutions, interactive online courses and individual mentorship with expert Coaches in Forex, commodities & stock trading. Our podcast is chock full with the latest market news, thought-provoking ideas and words of wisdom on how to improve the performance of your trades.
In this episode, Lee Sandford introduces Trading College’s Pro Trading System, or PTS, and explains the structured approach behind it.
Lee covers how the colour-coded system identifies buying and selling opportunities, why the weekly trend matters, how entries and stop losses are calculated, and how profit targets and trailing stops can be used to manage trades.
He also explains the PTS screener, common mistakes traders make, and the simple routine he follows to identify opportunities across Forex, stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies and indices.
A practical introduction to trading with a system, managing risk and removing emotion from your decision-making.
Important: Trading involves risk. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and this podcast is for educational purposes only.
Can AI really replace human traders, or is the hype getting ahead of reality?
In this episode of the Trading College Podcast, Lee Sandford cuts through the marketing noise surrounding AI trading bots and explains where artificial intelligence genuinely adds value and where it falls short.
Discover why most so-called AI trading systems are simply rule-based strategies with a new label, why no technology can predict future market movements, and how experienced traders are using AI as a powerful assistant rather than a replacement.
If you're considering using AI to improve your trading, this episode will help you separate fact from fiction and understand why having a proven trading method still matters more than ever.
Whether you're new to trading or an experienced investor, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Are you closing profitable trades too early simply because the number on your screen feels too good to risk?
In this episode of the Wham! Bam! Trading Plan Podcast, Lee Sandford explains why constantly watching your profit and loss can have a damaging psychological effect on your trading decisions.
A trade may still be following your strategy perfectly, but once you attach emotion to the money being made, it becomes tempting to exit before your planned signal appears. The result? Potentially strong winning trades are repeatedly cut short.
Lee shares a simple exercise that could help you become a more disciplined trader: hide your profit and loss, focus on the chart and allow your exit strategy to make the decision.
You’ll discover:
• Why watching your P&L can trigger emotional decisions
• The difference between a disciplined exit and an emotional exit
• How to stay focused on your entry, stop loss and planned target
• Why trusting your exit strategy could improve your profitability over time
Hide the P&L. Trade the chart. Trust your exit.
What would an experienced trader do differently if they had to start all over again?
In this episode of the Wham Bam Trading Plan Podcast, Lee Sandford shares the four key decisions he believes would have saved him years of frustration, costly mistakes and inconsistent results.

Lee also explains how the Colour Method and a simple, structured trading routine can remove confusion and help traders make more confident decisions.
Whether you’re new to trading or struggling to find consistency, this episode will help you focus on what really matters: one proven system, the right guidance and the discipline to follow your plan.
Do you really need to spend eight or ten hours a day staring at trading charts?
In this episode of the Wham! Bam! Trading Plan podcast, Lee Sandford explains why spending more time watching the markets can often lead to overtrading, impatience and costly mistakes.
Discover how professional traders focus on quality rather than quantity, why the most valuable opportunities often appear during specific periods of the trading day, and how a structured one-hour routine could help you trade more efficiently.
Lee also explains how Trading College’s Colour Method is designed to simplify market analysis, reduce overthinking and help traders identify opportunities with greater clarity and confidence.
Trading should fit around your lifestyle, not take it over.
Starting your trading journey can feel overwhelming, but it does not need to be complicated.
In this episode, Trading College founder Lee Sandford explains the six essential steps every beginner should follow to give themselves the best possible chance of long-term success.

Whether you are completely new to trading or struggling to find consistency, this episode will help you simplify your approach and start building the right foundations.
Most traders are not failing because they lack a strategy. They are failing because they have been sold the wrong idea about how trading actually works.

In this eye-opening episode, Lee Sandford pulls back the curtain on the rise of trading scams and fake influencers dominating social media.

He explains why many of these influencers thrived in a long bull market but lack the skills to survive tougher conditions, and why choosing the right mentor with real market experience has never been more important.
Inside this episode:

In this episode of the Trading College Podcast, Lee Sandford sits down with James, an experienced trader who’s successfully integrated automated trading bots into his funded account strategy.
James shares his journey from five years of inconsistent manual trading to building a disciplined, low-risk bot-driven system that fits around a demanding day job. He explains exactly how he configures bots to align with funded account rules, controls risk to as little as 0.15% per trade, and manually manages market bias by switching between long and short strategies.
You’ll hear a candid breakdown of:
- How automated bots really work in live funded accounts
- Why most traders fail with bots and how to avoid hard breaches
- The importance of risk management, trading hours, and market bias
- How James trains, backtests, and retrains bots using real market data
- The psychological benefits of automation and removing emotion from trades

And if so, how and when?
In this episode, Raj talks about a subject very close to his heart - and that his how to psychologically maintain your trading composure. Every trader has had this experience. You're well into a trade, everything is going well, the market's moving smoothly, your profits are climbing and then all of sudden we get a wave down and panic sets in.

In the face of a reversal, when do you take your profits?
