What is Trade With Profile – The Profile Trading Development Pathway?
Trade With Profile is a top-rated skill development firm that was founded in 2017 by Josh Schuler.
Josh Schuler is a full-time trader and trading coach with over a decade of experience. He started out trading stocks in 2009 while getting his MBA (Master of Business Administration) and then added options to the mix in 2010.
By the end of 2012, he became a profiler (using volume profile & market profile as primary tools for viewing/analyzing markets) and decided to pursue trading full-time. He’s been consistently profitable in all but one year of his 10+ years of trading.
He has an extensive business background in various sectors: technology, investment banking, non-profit, etc. – and is also a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) with a Series 3 License registered with the National Futures Association (NFA).
In my personal opinion, Josh Schuler as coach/mentor and his Profile Pathway as a training course/program are drastically underrated within the “trading education” space. He offers one of the best programs out there for developing deep market understanding.
He doesn’t teach the typical (lousy/cookie-cutter/ineffective) technical analysis found in almost every other trading course. Instead, what he teaches is real market competence, skill, and edge through powerful auction principles and profiling tools.
4 Profile Trading Development Pathways – VOD, Group, 1-on-1, and *Pro:
There are currently 4 different versions of the Profile Pathway to choose from: Video-on-Demand, Group, 1-on-1, and *Pro. Each pathway revolves around the same 16 core training modules, but varies in support/interaction/delivery.
VIDEO-ON-DEMAND PATHWAY
|
The Video-on-Demand (VOD) version of the course/program is the most popular because of the cost ($1,500 one-time). It offers immediate lifetime access to the 16 core modules and supplemental materials for you to work through at your own pace. It also includes 1 complimentary month of Group access – which includes live trading sessions, Slack discussions, weekly Q&A’s, and more (with the option to continue for $85/month). |
GROUP PATHWAY
|
The Group Pathway progressively works through each module of the course in a team environment. Each week has a specific development focus related to the current module – and a new one unlocks every week. So you can steadily progress through the course at a pace that supports deep internalization. The cost is slightly higher ($395/month for 4 months), but is well worth it for all of the additional features: daily trade plans/scenarios, key decision levels, auction statistics, monthly 1-on-1 coaching calls, and more. This is also the only pathway with a free trial opportunity → Start 1-Week Free Trial. |
1-ON-1 PATHWAY
|
The 1-on-1 Pathway is fully customized to your specific needs. You receive all of the same core modules and supplemental materials as those in the Video-on-Demand and Group Pathways, but the level of support/coaching is specifically tailored to you. This is the most expensive option at $10,000+ (the exact price is determined on a project-by-project basis) and is geared toward commodity trading advisors and aspiring career traders. |
PATHWAY*PRO
|
Pathway*Pro combines the training & mentorship provided by Josh Schuler through his Video-on-Demand or Group Pathway with a funding tryout through Apteros Trading. So it’s top-notch training/mentorship paired with the opportunity to earn a spot on a real futures prop desk. Pursuing this joint path offers several hundred dollars in savings as opposed to pursuing a TWP Profile Pathway and Apteros prop desk tryout separately. |
Accelerate Your Development With Legitimate Market Competence and Trading Skill:
It’s honestly a shame how relatively unknown Josh Schuler and his Profile Trading Development Pathway are within the world of trading education. Because what he has to offer is the real deal – it’s one of the best trader training programs available online.
But, sadly, most aspiring traders tend to get blinded by all sorts of nonsense – like sketchy gurus and their flashy marketing/advertising featuring all sorts of lifestyle components (i.e. stacks of cash, exotic cars, mansions, etc.).
Even though this sort of lifestyle marketing has nothing to do with developing legitimate market competence and trading skill, most people are still attracted to it. They want shortcuts/easy routes to trading success that don’t actually exist.
This is why some of the most basic and lousy trading courses/programs/services are actually some of the most popular. It’s not often related to quality; it’s typically related to the marketing/advertising surrounding it. It’s an illusion of legitimacy.
What I deeply respect about Josh Schuler is that he never takes part in any type of flashy, deceptive marketing. What he represents through every Trade With Profile channel (website, social media, etc.) is real habit & skill-building/training.
His Profile Pathway is the best edge/skill development program I’ve been through and deserves far more recognition than it gets.

Hi Matt, and thanks for putting together this informative trading program review. It is reviews like this that help me to learn the ins and outs of this industry. I’m often trying to understand what is a better alternative when it comes to consistently making money in markets, and your content has helped me.
Hi Michael – happy to help!
Far too many hopeful traders go down bad/damaging/ineffective paths; typically ones that focus on dependency and get-rich-quick promises (like guru alert/signal services) as opposed to legitimate education, training, and mentorship (like Profile Pathway). I’m just trying to share what has had the greatest positive impact on me as a trader and hopefully others can benefit from it as well. Over the past 9 or 10 years I’ve come across so much nonsense within the trading education industry, but Josh Schuler and everything he’s doing at Trade With Profile is real/authentic/legitimate. Personally, I think his program is by far one of the most under-appreciated ones out there because it lacks “flash”. But this is the type of program that produces legitimately competent/skilled traders. I wish it didn’t take me so long to find it.
