His results improved because he trusted the rules, stayed disciplined and used ongoing support to keep his routine simple.
KDA is a long-term retail investor who started buying shares when he was fourteen. He spent his career in industries like glass, real estate development, steel, and coal. None of his work involved finance, yet he always had an interest in the markets.
This case study shows how a fully mechanical system helped him improve his results, achieve profitability, and trade with a verified system instead of relying on guesswork.
It also highlights the contrast between a structured process and the emotional swings of speculative investing. He learned firsthand how anger disrupts your trading rhythm and how a rules-based approach restores calm and consistency.
Background
KDA spent many years buying and selling shares on and off. He had no structured process and no clear rules. He often acted based on tips and opinions, and this created a mix of wins and losses.
He ran two portfolios.
His systematic portfolio followed a set of rules. His discretionary mining portfolio relied on tips, hunches, and speculation. The difference in results later became obvious.
Everything changed when he adopted the Share Wealth Systems Investor system in 2017 and committed to it fully.
The Problem
His speculative portfolio created large swings and many setbacks. Mining stocks bought from tips caused repeated losses. The delisting of AVZ was one of the biggest hits. It cost him a lot of money in a short period of time.
He also struggled with emotional decisions. Anger would show up after a loss. Fear would show up when prices dipped. Both emotions disrupted his trading rhythm and pushed him into fear-based trading.
Since there were no rules to guide him, every decision felt like a guess. That made it hard to stay consistent.
The Solution
The Investor System
KDA chose Share Wealth Systems because he wanted a process that removed emotion and gave him a trading edge.
The features that won him over were:
- A one-hundred percent mechanical system
- Signals that removed fear-based trading
- A simple routine that told him exactly what to do
- A probability-based model supported by long-term testing
He says following the system is dead easy. If a signal appears, he takes action. If there is no signal, he does nothing. This simple structure gave him clarity and stopped the emotional noise that caused mistakes in the past.
Results
The change in performance was clear. His systematic portfolio outperformed every other portfolio he managed. The numbers showed that trading with a verified system produced stronger and more stable results.
He also gained a sense of control. Emotional reactions faded because the rules did all the work. He no longer made decisions from fear or frustration. Instead, he simply followed the signals and let the system carry the load.
He credits this approach for helping him achieve profitability with far less stress.
Psychology and Mindset Shift
KDA believes the mental shift was just as important as the system itself. Discipline and perseverance became part of his routine. He understood that a trading edge only matters if you apply it with consistency.
Mindset training helped him understand how fear-based trading leads to poor decisions. It also helped him see how anger disrupts your trading rhythm and pushes you into impulse trades.
He often compares his experience with two friends.
One is a fundamental investor who refuses to change. He holds stocks forever because he believes they will eventually come good. This friend is stuck in old habits and cannot accept a new system.
The other friend has no discipline. He buys shares, watches them fall a little, panics, and sells. He is now stuck in the AVZ situation with no plan and no confidence.
Watching these situations reinforced his belief that discipline and mindset matter just as much as the system itself.
Experience With Share Wealth Systems
KDA says his experience with Share Wealth Systems has been extremely positive. He enjoys the regular sessions with Dave and I. These catch-ups help him stay focused and keep the routine simple.
He also likes the training programs. He can open them anytime he wants to review lessons, sharpen his skills or keep building confidence.
When asked if he sees any gaps in the organisation, he says he cannot think of a single one. He is comfortable with the support and sees no need to look elsewhere.
He once tried VectorVest and felt it was not at the same level. The performance measurement did not match the clarity or structure he had with Share Wealth Systems.
