Here is the Problem:
1. You are losing money trading because you allow random actions (like emotions and strategy hopping) into your trading process which creates random outputs. Your trading process has never been designed to a deliver consistent successful output.
2. Because of the problem above, you don't have a consistent "income engine" that drives profits through a trading business. This drives a mentality that "it can't be done".
3. You have internally labelled yourself as an "unsuccessful trader". You want trading to be profitable but because of your internal messaging you fail to improve and continually self-sabotage with emotional entries and exits and revenge trading or "sports-betting" type trades.
4. You disrespect trading by thinking you can come in to the market and compete with seasoned professionals just because you opened and funded a brokerage or crypto account and hit a green button.
Here is the Solution:
1. You join a community of serious traders to learn and install a best-practice trading process we call the "Income Engine" which has been designed to succeed.
2. You install the Income Engine process in your daily trading life and then show up in the Trader Community to get further coaching and get encouraged. You begin to make profits.
3. You stay encouraged from the coaching community, current market knowledge, trend spotting and process reinforcement with other like-minded PDP Pro™ traders that trading profitably, as a business, is not only possible, its actually relatively easy.
4. You transition your trading profits into the next phase, Trading as a Business. This is where your dreams come true.
The Income Engine
This is an easy process a 12-year old can master. For years people have over-complicated trading. Its not that difficult. You simply learn to identify where you are in the market (we show you how). Then when you see a specific candle (or set of candles) occur in that location a new trend is starting. We call that trend "The River". You enter the market, without emotion, based solely on the fact that you satisfied the requirements to enter, no second-guessing. Then it is candle by candle trade management until the exit signal. This can be done on the 2-minute or Daily chart. Timeframe doesn't matter. Master this easy process and you have your repeatable and profitable Income Engine.
A process designed to succeed will have predictable outputs (your trading account will grow). The Income Engine has been designed by a Senior Process Engineer with an MBA and a Six Sigma Black Belt who has made a career designing critical processes for Fortune 500 companies.
Everyone wants to overcomplicate what is actually a relatively easy task. Do the process steps and achieve the desired output.
Part of this Income Engine process is dealing with the moment a candle goes against you. When a candle goes against you, you are not a "loser", you are a machine operator. We remove the emotion and deal with the situation. We correct your psychology and get you on track to be a machine in the market, an income engine that drives your trading business. No more random, emotional trading, no revenge trading, no "sports-betting". Those will never build a business and achieve your financial goals.
Trading as a Business
After your Income Engine is bringing in profits you need to treat these profits like a business. You need to think about entity structuring, bookkeeping, taxes, protection from creditors, and risk management. If you want to get be in this for the long-haul you need to think of Trading as a Business.
These courses are the bedrock of what it is to be a PDP Pro™.
No one cares whether retail traders are successful or not. Pros Don't Panic does. PDP develops best-practice trading processes that are designed to succeed, then supplies the coaching and market insights on trend development to reinforce the training.
No more random entries, no more emotional exits, no more switching strategies, no more adding yet another indicator or news feed. Trading is actually a very simple exercise.
1. Start in the right location on your chart
2. Look for a specific candle setup from that location
3. Ride the trend like a professional river guide
Nothing else.
We have built a best-practice trading process to create an income engine and a trading business for you to succeed and achieve the financial dreams you are dreaming of.
Pros Don’t Panic focuses on two core ideas:
First, if you want to reach your trading goals you need to control your trading process so the output is controlled and profits flow, the Income Engine. Additionally you need to run your Trading as a Business.
Second, knowledge of the "trend" is critical. This is what we call "the River". Knowing which direction the River is going makes trading seem easy. Most people don't understand this and overcomplicate trading in general.
What you get in the PDP Pro™ TRADER COMMUNITY:
- Free access to all current and future courses that drive the PDP Pro™ ethos. This includes the Income Engine and Trading as a Business courses
- Weekly live coaching to reinforce the Income Engine and Trading as a Business courses and to encourage you that this lifestyle is possible.
- Live Weekly Market Review Sessions to analyze market structure, trends, and evolving patterns
- Monthly NEoWave-based forecasting charts that cover the US Stock market and Crypto markets which leads to better trend spotting
- Trend Spotting channel where we identify and track high-probability market setups on different timeframes

If you’ve tried trading on your own and struggled to stay consistent, this is where that changes.
Most retail traders focus on what to trade. Very few have a structured process for how to operate. The result is inconsistency, emotional decision-making, and unpredictable outcomes.
The PDP Pro™ Trader Community Membership is built to solve that problem by providing a disciplined, repeatable framework for trading profitably and running your trading as a business as well as up-to-date trend spotting and tracking.
A structured trading community that gives you a best-practice trading process, expert guidance, and coaching reinforcement to finally achieve your financial dreams.
The PDP Pro Trader Community is built for serious traders we call PDP Pros™. Join us inside the Community!

A business born from a text.
A few years ago a friend texted me, very concerned, that the S&P 500 might crash. Without thinking I texted back three words:
"Pros don't panic"
The idea was that there are no "crashes", only changes in trend. Understand trends and monitor them and you can ride them to profit.
Watch a group of river rafters. Is the river guide panicking? Never. Solid as a rock while the tourists are losing their shit. Pros don't panic.
About Rich Oldham
A Senior Business Process Consultant with an MBA and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Rich has made a career consulting billion-dollar companies like Yahoo, F5, Kaiser Permanente and Berkshire Hathaway to engineer and improve the output of their processes and book more profits.
He set out to apply proven Lean Six Sigma process design methods and Carnegie-Mellon best-practices to retail trading workflows to control common failures and eliminate the fear and inconsistency traders experience — and the results speak for themselves.
Becoming a Professional
Rich learned the quiet skill of professionalism early-on as a qualified crewmember of a nuclear submarine. By the age of twenty Rich had a Top Secret clearance and was responsible for all of the crypto electronics onboard.
Professionals practice and train so when the moment to perform arrives they make the difficult look simple.
Submariners are known to be learners. If they don't know a system they read the manual front to back then go walk the system "hand over hand" until they can teach that system back to the guy who designed it. Its that serious. Rich has taken that approach to trading where he teaches traders to know their process so well that they can teach it to someone else.
Rich teaches all of the courses and live coaching in the PDP Pro™ Trader Community.
A structured trading community that gives you a best-practice trading process, expert guidance, and coaching reinforcement to finally achieve your financial dreams.
