Who We Are
A trading education, not a signals group.
Rose & Star Trading Academy was founded to close the gap between retail trading content and the standards of a professional trading desk. We don't sell calls or predictions — we teach the process behind them: how to read the market, size a position, and manage risk before a trade is ever placed.
What we do is straightforward. We run two pathways: a 3-Month Course that takes you from foundations to a working, risk-managed trading plan, and an ongoing Membership for traders who want continued mentorship, live sessions, and market breakdowns once the course ends.
"Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing."
Josh Gowing
Partner, Trader & Mentor
With a background in high-end estate agency, I developed a strong interest in financial markets, particularly currencies and their influence on everyday life. This led me to independently study economics, with plans to pursue mathematics to further strengthen my trading knowledge. My goal is to help beginners approach increasingly accessible markets with the right education, structure and understanding of risk.
Is This For You?
Be honest with yourself before you enrol.
This is for you if —
- ✓You're willing to put in the screen time to learn the process, not just the outcome
- ✓You want a repeatable, rules-based approach to risk and entries
- ✓You're starting from scratch, or trading without a plan and want structure
- ✓You can commit to live sessions and ongoing journalling, not a one-off webinar
This isn't for you if —
- ✕You're looking for buy/sell signals or a "copy my trades" service
- ✕You want guaranteed or fast returns — we don't teach or promise those
- ✕You're not prepared to review your own losing trades honestly
- ✕You're trading with money you can't afford to put at risk
