Everybody at Base Camp Trading is excellent at helping everybody attending the room. They hold nothing back and share all their knowledge. I have been with BCT for ~5 years and find that after all the rooms that I tried they are the absolute best. No comparison. I love making money, and they got me on the right track. Also their support is priceless and very quick to respond to your questions.

I just joined BCT a few weeks ago
I just joined BCT a few weeks ago, I had been using it for some time but not the trading rooms. So, I am writing specifically about the trading rooms and my recent experience with Dave Acquino, Dave Forester, and Cody Meeker. I have made about $30,000 in a short time. I attribute it to using the very clear advice about following the resistance and support levels that all three of the moderators clearly talked about and showed on the charts in the trading rooms. In addition, I began the Naked Trading sessions and learned a lot about compression and how it relates to resistance, support and ultimately to when to look to place a trade when a break out seems to be happening. Obviously, that is the art of this business. No one jumps up and says "buy" or "sell" that is one's judgment. So, I have tried to be disciplined. That last word "disciplined" is what I have learned to use in my trading now. I figured out how many mistakes I had made in the past by not paying attention to the compression, resistance and support chart items.
Lastly, I am so impressed with the professionalism of all three members. They are beyond helpful and are looking to help us learn as fast as possible so as to avoid mistakes. I believe if one follows the education and follows the chart clues and their advice, there is better probability of success. One cannot say with certainty in the financial markets that one will be successful as things change moment to moment.
Final point, thank you very much.

Fantastic indicators and great support team
I have used base camp trading for many years. They offer great products and they have a fantastic support team. I was interested in a new indicator but I have purchased indicators from many companies that did not help me trade. Even though they do not offer a money back refund normally on this indicator, since I have been a long term customer, they allowed me a trial periodd. The indicator did give great signals but I had other indicators that worked as well. They honored their commitment to refund the money. I have now purchased their trading room access on a trial basis and I will continue using the trading room after the trial period ends. Unlike some trading rooms where a moderator might be on for an hour or two, they have three moderators which covers the entire day.
I really appreciate all of the support I have received from Base Camp Trading

These are the worst trading rooms
These are the worst trading rooms, I have ever seen. While very impressed with Dave Aquino and Thomas Woods, however, they are rarely seen in the live rooms. Live rooms are hosted by few trainees bout 50% to 80% of time. Also, you will not know who will be hosting this room, one day it is hosted by one trainee and next day it will be someone else. IMO just stay away from this if you want to learn or be a day trader.
Response to this email by support team adds another issue: that the support is shitty too. Instead of acknowledging the issue and trying to fix it. Anyone who goes to these trading rooms, they will find out in 1 to 2 weeks, who is running the room most of the time.

Mike, we're terribly sorry to hear you feel this way. Thomas and Dave are in the rooms at least 4 days a week on average. If something happened in the room today, please just send me an email directly and let me know how I can address the issue [email protected].

To me, this group is incredible with their knowledge and dedication
In some ways I cannot believe what a dedicated, great group this is. The teaching on multiple styles to fit many trading styles is so consistent, and the live trading rooms are just complete gold. 5 years with this group and I have completely found my style and comfort while expanding here and there. My retirement is remarkably different than I thought it would be. Thank you! By the way, my extensive experience with their support over 5 years is always great, so, salt to taste I guess. And, I only trade futures, especially RTY, and Thomas talks extensively about futures daily, plus an evening wrap-up and morning preview, and watches at least 10 constantly throughout the day, but does not tell anyone what to trade, just watching significant support and resistance so, again, salt to taste vs other reviews.
