After setting up my trading equipment this morning, I looked at /ES to check market overnight movement and to my chagrin saw the 177-point rise which put my 11 Hour trade in the money, and I started the day with a $4000.00 loss. Now what? I followed the 11 Hour defense plan using the DNO strategy to make enough to buy back the spread and ended up with a $290 profit before lunch. Many thanks to all the super trainers at Base Camp Trading.

Thank you so much for sharing this — what a rollercoaster of a morning, and what an incredible turnaround! Waking up to a $4,000 loss before the trading day even begins is the kind of moment that tests every trader's resolve. But rather than panic, you did exactly what the training prepares you to do — you stayed composed, trusted the process, and executed the 11 Hour defense plan with the DNO strategy flawlessly. Walking away with a $290 profit before lunch after staring down a $4,000 hole is a testament to both the power of the strategy and the discipline you brought to the table. This is precisely the kind of real-world scenario that our trainers have in mind when they teach defense strategies — not just how to win, but how to recover with confidence when the market moves against you. We will be sure to share your kind words with the entire training team at Base Camp Trading. They will be so proud to hear that the work they put into teaching these strategies made such a meaningful difference when it counted most. Thank you for being part of our community and for taking the time to share your experience. Stories like yours inspire fellow traders and remind all of us why preparation and education are everything in this industry. Here's to many more successful recoveries — and even more profitable mornings ahead! With sincere gratitude, the BCT Team

Had 1 Call ATM retrace and sitting on the 50% FIB line and News came out that Iran: Hormuz Strait protocol does not to constitute restrictions. All the indicators Super Momentum, TrenderPro 2.0 were pointing UP. Then the news caused a break out. Very similar to last weeks big move I missed. Thanks to Dave's training kept me in this trade and I made 5K with 1 contract. WOW

I started learning options trading 5 months ago, today was a nice day. I made a $4,800 with 4 contracts in less than 2 hours. Dave Aquino and the Base Camp Training are the best.

Dave is a great teacher and he trades with you in the mornings with Base Camp Trading. I made 296% on a intraday trade on the SPY, also trimmed at 42% and 90%.

I have been with Base Camp Trading for a number of years now and have had great success with their system. Last week, John personally called me and spend a solid 45-60 minutes with me to help resolve an issue I had with my computer setup, nothing to do with their system. Can't say enough great things about Base Camp Trading...Thanks!!

I’ve been following Base Camp Trading for several months now, after trying a few other trading platforms, and I’ve been very impressed. BCT is, without question, the best trading education resource I’ve found. They offer structured content for all experience levels, and their live trading rooms consistently provide clear, actionable guidance along with strong educational value. I’ve been especially impressed with Dave Aquino. His depth of trading experience, combined with a calm, methodical teaching style, has significantly improved my confidence—particularly in trade management. I also had a minor issue with my account subscription recently, and it was handled promptly, professionally, and courteously by their support team—something that’s often overlooked but matters. If you’re serious about improving your trading process and ultimately your net results, I highly recommend Base Camp Trading.

Base Camp trading is great and Dave Aquino is AMAZING. I’ve tried more than 50 trading programs and Dave is by far the greatest!! A fabulous teacher, incredible trade recommendations, and easy to follow alerts. I’ve won 37 trades in a row and made over $200,000 in the first quarter of 2026. Keep up the great work, and THANK YOU!!
