WHY THE MENTORSHIP EXISTS


Cardiac ICU
Family
Paul Hovan Jr.
FOUNDER · TRADING EDUCATOR
Paul built the mentorship around a rule he trusted in the Cardiac ICU.
In the Cardiac ICU, you never panic when the monitor alarms—because you have a written, life-saving checklist before the patient crashes.
I built the mentorship on the exact same premise: systematic risk protocols that remove panic before money, movement, and emotion pressure your decision.
He created the mentorship so other adults can define their rules before pressure, practice the process, and make decisions they understand for themselves.
Ready for a process—not a shortcut?
THE MENTORSHIP IS FOR YOU IF…
✅
You are new to trading or still lack a connected written process.
✅
You want to understand your decisions and are willing to study, practice, document, and review.
✅
You accept uncertainty and losses, and are willing to define your risk—including when not to trade.
THE MENTORSHIP IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
❌
You want guaranteed returns, fast income, or a promise that risk disappears.
❌
You want trades to copy or a passive shortcut without learning the reasoning.
❌
You plan to trade money needed for living expenses, emergencies, debt, or other essentials.
ACCOUNT SIZE IS NOT THE GATE. READINESS IS.
If you’re ready to learn, practice, document, and own your decisions, keep reading.
Build your risk rules in the first 7 days.
Master the setups at your own pace.

Learn to make sense of the chart, so you can recognize the market context
and what you still need to know before considering a trade.
02
PHASE 2
WEEKS 13–20
MECHANICAL EXECUTION
Practice turning an idea into a written plan, so your entry, exit, and risk
decisions are prepared before movement and emotion add pressure.

PHASE 3
WEEKS 21–24
THE PLAYBOOK REVIEW
Learn from winning and losing trades by comparing your plan with what
happened—so each review gives you something useful to carry forward.
FAQ
I am brand new. Does the mentorship begin with the foundation?
+
Yes. The first 12 weeks build market language and context before execution, risk, and case-study review.
What if math is not my strength?
+
The mentorship uses practical arithmetic for risk and position sizing—not advanced math. You must still apply the calculations correctly before trading real money.
Do I have to trade real money to practice?
+
No. You can practice in simulation; real-money trading is not required.
What time commitment should I expect?
+
The daily decision routine is designed to take under 30 minutes; lesson and review time varies. Use the roadmap call to compare the delivery with your schedule.
Is the mentorship a signal service or personalized advice?
+
No. The mentorship teaches you to prepare and review your decisions. It does not tell you what to buy or sell and is not personalized investment, financial, tax, or legal advice.
How much trading capital do I need to get started?
+
You can complete the foundation in paper trading or simulation. When you choose to trade real money, the position-sizing rules are designed to scale with your account and risk limits.
What software or subscriptions do I need?
+
You can begin with standard charting and brokerage tools; you do not need a professional terminal. We’ll identify the specific tools that fit the process during your roadmap call.
What if I fall behind?
+
The curriculum is self-paced, so work trips, family commitments, and busy seasons do not erase your progress. Return to the next lesson when your schedule allows.
Let’s map out your trading routine.
Level One is a paid, 24-week mentorship. This free 15-minute call covers your goals, the program, tuition and payment options. You can ask questions before deciding whether to enroll. Choose a time, then answer a few quick questions. No payment required to book. No obligation to enroll.

My biggest pride and joy of the crapshoot of a month that is August. Had very little ability to focus consistently on trading due to personal reasons, but this trade I definitely pulled out of the bag (so far 🤣).
Doubled down with CFDs on top of regular shares to boost my exposure without locking up as much capital. Downside is the CFDs can’t be trimmed, but the break-even points for both the shares and CFDs are now far below my exit levels (10/20 EMA), so this bad boy is basically all win and no loss from here.
Maybe it’ll pay for some of the shenanigans I got up to earlier in the year… 🐳

Very grateful to have found this group! I’ve been involved with SSSG for only a couple months and now it is very obvious how much Paul cares about quality education and making sure his members understand what they need (and WHY) in order to succeed. I won’t lie, this isn’t the first group I’ve checked out, so my biggest hesitation joining was spending more money to “read the same book”. While concepts are more or less the same in approach, Paul teaches things in a way that make them make sense better than any other group I’ve seen. Ultimately what I did learn going through his material was that I’ve been failing myself by not putting in the effort.. Instead, I was looking for a quick way to make cash, and that is the easiest way to burn through your portfolio. if you stick with his system and truly put in the work, you’ll be successful.

I put my thesis on bitcoin again in #sunday-review-videos tonight; please review. In the dirt premium, record low volatility, and no one talking about it = big upside opportunity if right. I grabbed 25 $36 calls at the close on Friday and looking to add a bunch more tomorrow on a break over $35.90.
