Trader ET's Journey With Owl Group Products and Services
1. What was the problem you were having before you discovered the Tortoise products and services?
I needed a framework—high quality systems, strategies, mental tools, and a learning environment. Something statistically sound to believe in—not only in the systems but in my ability to measure improvement. I also needed a network of competent people and an accessible, wise coach to guide me.
​
2. What did the frustration feel like as you tried to solve that problem?
Although I could find most of the concepts for free on YouTube, converting those ideas into useful beliefs and habits was overwhelming. I made a lot of mistakes and didn’t understand why.
​
3. What was different about our products and services?
The collaborative learning environment, the completeness of the systems—mind and body—and most of all, Ken’s genuine attitude. I feel safe sharing my work, whether flawed or inspired, because this space promotes growth and development. That resonates deeply with my beliefs on personal transformation and collaborative success.
4. Take us to the moment when you realized our product was actually working to solve your problem.
The Tortoise body of knowledge is timeless, flexible, and applicable to any trading situation. After taking the day trading course at VTI in November 2018, I experimented with system tweaks only to discover: I didn’t need to change the system—I needed to change myself.
At a local course with a respected Danish professional trader, I realized I already had all the knowledge I needed to succeed—and even help others. The clarity I had around risk management and exit strategies was a striking contrast to others’ struggles. I had internalized the battle drill through consistent study and practice.
5. Tell us what life looks like now that your problem is solved or is being solved.
It’s being solved. I now see a clear path of purpose and personal transformation through the Tortoise approach. It’s a safe, powerful framework. I’ve learned to return to the materials, reset my mindset, and make course corrections as needed. My daily trading plan wouldn’t exist without the foundation Tortoise provided.
6. What does the way ahead look like for you?
I’m learning to believe in what once felt impossible. I’m changing the circumstances that held me back. My goal is to live well from trading, dedicating 6–8 hours a day to market-critical situations and becoming a source of inspiration to my loved ones through curiosity and support.
7. What could we help you with next?
That's a hard question right now. I plan to attend a future weekend workshop to solidify my transformation both mentally and practically. I want to be self-reliant in my daily analysis using local symbols (DK, Europe), and I aim to refine my process to meet my ambitious goals.
