@TradingDrills everything that you write sounds very weird to me, what does it mean "it was also embedded under Learning Management System (LMS)"? there are many part of your post that if I read them rationally they sound just like a bunch of complicated words stick together, but they make no sense to me.
I don't understand what you are offering, does your method/system makes money? if so can you prove this claim?
Or are you just a coach? (I have nothing against coaches) but I cannot understand when you say trading system etc... and then you talk about coaching.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
This post is promotional in nature, without actually linking back to your website or overtly plugging it. Your description of the process you went through in perfecting your training method, and what you will do with a student in the final step, is clearly promotional in intent.
To be clear about the rules: as a vendor, you may respond to direct questions about your service, with specific information that is requested (not references to your website) in a vendor review thread specifically about it, opened by someone else. (You may not open your own vendor review thread or trading journal.) You may not volunteer information about your training/coaching in any other context.
Otherwise, you are free to participate in discussions, so long as your own product/service is not something you bring up or refer to, even indirectly.
You may not engage in any promotional posting that would lead other members to seek out your product, or to think it may be something they should look into or try.
I have deleted the post in question. The purpose of this notice is to clarify the rules and your obligations as a vendor. Any repetition of this action will result in a permanent ban.

I believe "deliberate practice" can/will benefit any trader. Dr Steenbargers advice to journal such practice/actual trades applies the experience to your historical record and helps you grade results.
His advice (as others have said) is a great way to pick specific things to work on. The prep
and emotional considerations before trading should also be considered. These sorts of matters are rarely spoken about - but are so important to achieve consistant results.
Generally, pick one or two things/skill to work on. Stick to your hard loss limit - like 3 losses in a row.
Practice/trade for an hour at a time max - go for a walk or drink of water. Keep track of results and then journal same at the end of the session and you'll get better - simple. (right)
I hope I haven't missed the point with this - (just sharing what I've always done)
One area that I've been honing in on a lot is the idea of a denaturing a skillset that needs improvement. Let's say I'm getting caught on the wrong side of the market and entering when the market reverses. Instead of something generic like "Get a better feel for market structure", I go one level deeper (aka the drillset) and ask myself what are the individual parts of market structure that I can improve on? This could give specific ideas like identifying HHs vs LLs, better categorizing whether a market is strongly/weakly trending vs rangebound, etc. I would then create goals based on these lower-tiered ideas.
Lately, I've been working on my 'drillset' three ways:
Setting a timer to encourage/force myself to write up my feelings at regular intervals, to get a more granular look at how I'm viewing an evolving mkt instead of waiting until the end of the trading session.
Setting numerical targets before I can mark a task complete. So I might label the HHs/LLs and trend changes on 15 charts for example
Setting a timer to confirm that I am successful completing a task. For example, if I've been skipping step XYZ during my analysis, I might set a timer every 5 minutes to write down what I see in the mkt and to make a reference to XYZ.
On a related/unrelated note, I noticed there are a few musicians in the thread. I don't play any instruments but I do subscribe to a musician's blog that has a focus on Deliberate Practice. I read it and assess how I can reinterpret ideas into trading.
