We don’t expect trading to allow you to remain in your current state. We do expect that, when mastered, trading can provide both a lifestyle and knowledge of self that is well beyond the normal person.Thoughtful creative expression has a way of changing a person. This site is simply a mechanism for self-change and the pursuit of that which has value.

Brian McAboy started trading back in the 1990's and has been helping traders become successful traders since January 2006. He is a retired Project Engineer, Process Engineer and Quality Engineer.
During Brian’s first year of trading, he made the common mistake of underestimating what it takes to be a trader and didn’t pay the markets or this occupation the proper respect. As a result, he paid a hefty price of over $45,000, loads of personal capital and nearly lost his marriage over it.
Fortunately, Brian had the Quality Assurance experience working in manufacturing. When he applied the Quality Assurance methodology to his trading, he found that it works amazingly well, just like it has in the business world for decades to get struggling operations under control and predictably profitable.
He then also applied his business acumen to further build that solid foundation that nearly all traders don’t get to really give him a solid base and peace of mind. Brian teaches these same success practices and methods to traders so that they can fill the gap in their training as well and enjoy relaxed, profitable trading too.
Brian’s years of experience Quality Assurance and Business Consulting allow him to provide unique, effective and refreshing resources to the traders of the world. His focus is helping traders achieve self-sufficiency through the application of Quality and Business principles and practices that result in proficiency and success.

Jaden’s point of view is that the large brokerage firms and investment advisors are set up to make their own firms wealthier - NOT the clients. He worked for 2 large investment banking firms in his 20s including holding a leadership position in the Asset Management division of Citigroup in Southern California where he increased sales from 105 million to over 300 million in just over 2 years.
At age 26, Jaden became a top 1% earner in the US due to the financial markets. But in his early retirement he pivoted and went on to develop 125 affordable housing projects over 7 years in South Florida valued in excess of 12.5 million dollars. He has gone on record to share that he learned more about growing his wealth through his wealthy clients than through the firms that held their assets.
Jaden is big on individual stocks, NOT on mutual funds. And he sees so many people struggling to find winning stocks that could ultimately lead to financial freedom. That is why he recently assembled a team to create patent pending software that investors can use to invest like experts without needing to become a CFA or other certified professional in finance.
The software is called Sterling Stock Picker and it takes key indicators and creates their ‘NorthStar Ranking’ for each stock… Recently, their utility patent was filed with the USPTO for their technology. What many of the current users are excited about is the fact that there is the ability to filter stocks that fit their risk tolerance, personal values, interests and much more with over 28 different filters available.

As a certified financial planner Deborah exemplifies the Cogent Way. She has the education, life experience, and knowledge of changes in the financial landscape of the 21st century to help clients in identifying and attaining their financial goals.
