Hi Informant, thank you for the great review. You lay out some very good thoughts about trading styles. Meaning- short term trading, like intra-day trading and/or the option to take on trades that could last longer. For example- take trades that last over a few days. All the things you mentioned are valid considerations for everyone. On your comment- "you have to know what kind of trader you want to be" is actually something I have seen problematic in many- and that it is nearly impossible to know up front, when someone is first seeking to get into trading. And most don't figure that important aspect out until they get the correct training. Kind of like you acknowledged when you stated, "it helped me get a better grasp of the type of trader that fits your personality". That was very important alone and time will tell how valuable that one insight will become to you. And it is something that actually evolves as you have more time engaged in the trading world. When I first started, I thought I would and wanted to be a long-term trader. But after I learned how to engage the markets correctly, I realized that style is not for me. I found it is much lower risk and more profitable to trade on timeframes of intra day to a few days. Also, you are spot on about my thoughts about the "general market terminology", I am very much against most of it. A profound concept- that some take odds to is this- "Less is More" For me- when I learned to strip it all down to "only" what is really essential to be "consistently profitable", it was a very happy moment. And like you said, if someone feels they need to know "everything under the stars" about the stock market, they could easily find all that general stuff online. And your biggest take away is the statement- it doesn't work (mentally) for everyone. I have been told by many (hundreds) that my approach and teaching style was perfect for them. And for others, I might be a small but vital link to their success. As trading successfully is composed of layers of mental insights, Ultimately, my sincere hope is to help folks change their financial life in a substantial way. And that has happened. And usually with life, and the things we have been exposed to (like my training course) the truth and power that it has- is revealed over a period of time. And later on, as we start to operate with wisdom and understanding down the road, it is typical that one might not recognize that if was seeded from something before- like "my course". I am thankful to help you, and if you are interested in providing me your real name (you can email directly on our site) I would be more than glad to get on a call with you to help take you to the next level. It sounds like you are genuine about this trading and I here to help. Thank you, Mike

Hi Tracy, I seen your review and I did send you a couple emails and a text message to see if you wanted to get on a phone call. I do recall you had a very unique job and were out of touch quite a bit, so maybe you didn’t receive those. Anyways, I wanted to respond to your kind review of me and my course. I appreciate you saying that my teaching definitely would’ve gotten a 5 star - other than a little confusion on the PDT rule. Perhaps you don’t recall or simply did not see on the FAQ page on my website - it addresses the PDT rule ($25,000 requirement) that some people get a little anxious about. That requirement is ONLY in certain circumstances and it is ONLY required in the stock market trading. And you can trade in the stock market with only a few thousand dollars, but there are a few limitations to be aware of. There are many other markets that people trade that do not have that requirement at all. Once someone understands what it means (PDT rule) and where it applies, they quickly see its a small detail. And simply not an issue one bit. I think it is clearly stated on the FAQ page. In an effort to demonstrate to folks about this- and to help clarify even further- that my methodology applies to trading any market - and starting with only a couple thousand dollars- is that I opened a Futures trading account. And I stopped trading stocks and have only been trading Futures for the last six months. I can trade that account using a few thousand dollars. And I make as many trades as I want within a day or week. No limit. Anyone can look at my website and see the Futures trading videos. It looks identical to stock trading. Or see my YouTube and see plenty of those trades. So I just wanted to clarify for you and others considering trading as income, that I have always made mention of the $25,000 rule. And the biggest point - about it - is that there are many ways to trade without having to bother with that concern. Nevertheless, somehow it just was not clear to you. And no doubt, a little nerve wracking to others until they fully understand. And I apologize for that. As always, I am here to take a phone call and address anything to help you become that successful trader. So many people are doing wonderful with my methodology - I couldn’t be happier. Sincerely, Mike

Hi Kevin, I can appreciate your stance and can relate to it very well. Trading is RISKY. And leaning on someone's view, can also be risky. A good scripture is 1 Cor. 16:13 - part of it teaches- " Be on your guard" Most folks have the same questions - How do I know what I am hearing and seeing- is true? I rely on the Spirit to give me discernment. Matter of fact, as I am thinking about how to respond to you, my mind quickly is seeing many scriptures I could present. It could easily turn into a sermon. But I will resist. Even though by embracing them, it is my way of navigating the world. However in a effort to help your concerns, I would suggest if you really would like to investigate me, then please consider lets do the old fashion thing and get on a phone call. I make myself available to anyone who is considering taking my training. Why take someone else's word for it- speak to me yourself. That way you have the best and most authentic way to make an intelligent decision. I also will say this, and hopefully you can accept it, All my reviews are from actual students who have decided to write a review with their own hand. The only 3 exceptions as of today 11.4.2019 and the ones who for some unknown reason, have decided to grace me with a low star review, have come from folks who have not even taken my course. Its interesting, Trustpilot states in their User Guidelines - that for someone to provide a review, they must actually have been involve with the service or product before writing a review. I am providing a quick partial clip below for reference- 1.2 You can write a review on Trustpilot about your service experience, if you have had a buying or service experience with a company, an organisation, a web service, etc. ("the Company"), which means that: you have purchased a product or service from or placed an order with the Company or ……. So as you can see, yes there can be reviews written on companies that are in fact not valid reviews. From folks who have not been involved with company themselves. With that said, may I politely encourage you to contact me directly to see if in fact- my 23 years of understanding about trading ( what I call " Correctly") could be of great value to you. I have folks who have taken my training and have been able to go full time as traders. And I have folks who are just starting and will see how they develop as traders. I offer this suggestion since you have stated that your years of effort - have not been very fruitful. And if you are not interested in taking that step (contacting me) , may I then ask in a very gracious way that you consider doing something with this review of yours? I am trying to assist folks with what I have learned. And when someone comes and casually see a random 3 star, which overall just blights my reputation, and most importantly- it is from a non student, it is part of the overall falsehood that you originally were questioning. Also I will assume you are a man of God, and embrace his teachings. One that comes to mind is- James 4:7 In closing, I genuinely hope you find the way to trade. It is simply amazing once you see it correctly and then can participate in a positive and peaceful way. Just last week, my trading resulted in over $10k. Its a blessing from above for sure.
