“Andrew ‘gets me’, our talks help me get my feel back after a rough patch. There’s lots of good traders at my firm, sometimes I forget it’s best if I just compete with myself. . . Sometimes it’s the market and sometimes it’s just personal stuff outside trading that throws me off my game. Andrew is a valuable resource for me, he’s special, and his coaching has proved to be a highly valuable investment”.
Ed Vasta
“Andrew is a valuable and well known resource to the trading community. His background as an individual trader, enables him to better understand and help traders. Andrew has presented to our traders in the SMB NYC office; he’s also been a 1:1 psych coach working with some of our top traders. I have found him to be patient, thoughtful, empathetic, and creative in tackling trading challenges. I have known his work and him for many years and strongly recommend him if you’re looking for help with your trading psychology.”
Mike Bellafiore
“I’ve been involved professionally in markets for many years, and was CTO/EVP at optionsXpress that got acquired by Schwab. . . My coaching with Andrew helped me return to my best trading. . . coaching was so helpful, that after several months, I asked him to be a subject matter expert on my new website.”
Vlad Karpel
“. . . In my years as a quant in the HF world, my work with Andrew has been amongst the most interesting and innovative. . . in a field crowded with pop psychologists. . . he’s the real deal. It is a privilege to work with him.”
Mike Loss
“I wanted the best coach I could find to help me to get to the next level in my trading, and asked Brett Steembarger for a recommendation. He referred me to Andrew. As my coach, Andrew has been instrumental in helping me go way beyond my previous limits. . . He really understands me and is great to work with.”
Adam Nadler
“In the very fast and free flow of the markets, positive and negative, Andrew’s ability to combine his knowledge of the human psyche, with his coaching and trading experience, naturally puts his clients at an advantage. . . Andrew facilitates the unlocking of opportunity and a greater awareness, enabling rapid growth. Andrew should coach every trader who has the ability to recognize the need for excellence.”
Paulette van der Merwe
“Andrew helped me transition from a bank sell-side trader, to managing money on the buy-side at a large HF. He has a stellar ability to communicate delicate matters that I was unaware of. Andrew’s insights are extraordinary and his ability to formulate them into practical terms is invaluable. Very highly recommended.”

“For years I was up, down and breakeven. Mostly down on my profits. Now for the first time in years, I’m having back-to-back profitable weeks and months!”
John Cantu
“Andrew is an incredibly dynamic speaker. We positioned him as the opening keynote. . . and he delivered a terrific talk. He was entertaining, insightful, and engaging. . . The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. . . Traders really appreciated the unique, change-of-pace direction of his talk.”
Ian McRae
“I have worked with Andrew in one capacity or another for around 15 years. He has always been a great resource offering consistently sound advice and guidance. My trading career began while working on the CME trading floor and then I moved to the trading screen. Andrew was instrumental in helping me address some trading challenges I had, such as, holding winners longer and fear of losing. His approach was just what I was looking for… I’m very grateful for his friendship and professionalism and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to increase their trading performance.”
Trevor Harnett
“As a futures trading survivor of 30 years, I have seen my share of therapists, psychologists, and neuro linguistic programmers, but none that I regard as highly a Dr. Andrew Menaker. He seems to have such a calming effect when I listen to him… I don’t know if it’s the fact that he is an active trader that makes him sensitive, or just that he cares so much for his fellow traders (humans) that makes him special. Dr. Menaker takes time out of his busy life to provide his knowledge to traders he doesn’t even know. To me, that’s the measure of a man, one who turns around to help the next one up. That is what makes Dr, Menaker a giant in his field.”
