Day Trading Coach
Day Trading Coach
Day trading compresses everything: the setups, the decisions, and the consequences. It also compresses the psychological damage when things go wrong.
A day trading coach who understands intraday psychology can help you close the gap between your best trading days and your worst. Kim Ann Curtin works with day traders at every level: retail traders building consistency, funded traders protecting their accounts, and active market participants whose results plateau despite solid technical skills. The problem is almost never the strategy. It’s what happens to execution when the session gets hard.
How Coaching Works
The TPI Assessment
A baseline read on how you handle risk, pressure, and split-second decisions, before your first session together.
Session Debriefs
Working from your actual sessions: where the rule got broken, where the revenge trade started.
Built for the Next Session
Tools to walk in tomorrow with the same process, regardless of how today went.
The Specific Psychology of Intraday Trading
Day trading creates a feedback loop unlike any other environment. Decisions happen in seconds. Feedback is immediate. Losses trigger emotional responses before your rational mind has time to intervene. The traders who last aren’t necessarily faster or smarter. They’re the ones who’ve built the psychological infrastructure to absorb a bad session and return the next day with the same process.
That infrastructure doesn’t build itself. It’s deliberate work, and it’s the work Kim does with traders.
Patterns Kim Works on with Day Traders
Rule-breaking mid-session
entering setups that don’t meet your criteria because you’ve been waiting and patience ran out
Revenge trading
the cycle of loss → impulsive re-entry → larger loss that defines most blowup days
Overtrading
the dopamine loop that keeps you in the market long after your edge has disappeared
Stopping too early
walking away from a winning session because you’re afraid to give it back
The bad-day hangover
carrying yesterday’s loss into today’s session and trading scared
What Makes Kim’s Coaching Different
Kim’s background in finance means she understands your trading day: the pre-market preparation, the session dynamics, the post-close review. Her Five Practices methodology is built specifically for performance under pressure, not adapted from generic coaching frameworks. Every engagement begins with the Trader Positioning Index (TPI), a judgment assessment that identifies your specific patterns and gives both you and Kim a clear baseline to work from.
“My stress levels have decreased significantly, and my win rate rocketed to 75%, with a 16-day streak.”
