everything as advertised

My issue is that I get promotions to seminars I have already attended in the past...like the Earnings one. I have trouble logging into some seminars, but Kathleen sets me straight. It is probably me that screws up. I attend the 3pm CT webinar with John S (excellent) but I wish it started at 1:30 pm so when the webinar ended, and we want to put on a trade as a result of view that day's webinar,...we'd have time to evaluate it an put it on. Now webinar ends when market closes.

Corrected the e-mail address, which had been 2 separate addresses. This was done promptly and accurately.

Honest and straight forward service

Exceeds expectations!!

The course work is excellent, however the timing of live classes are not always convenient.

I felt the concept was straightforward but was cumbersome in execution. Also it was tied to historical tendencies. I have a hard time with that. The trades I followed were not successful. That doesn't mean the process doesn't have merit...periods of drawdown can always occur. If you START duing a drawdown, you basically get poisoned to the concept. I never did get to utilizing SLACK for access to the trading room. If you can use SLACK you MUST be smart...so I would have liked to listen to the great minds in the room ! Bottom line........I do NOT trade earnings. I DO trade volatility spike leading up to earnings. I am far better trading directional spreads. I was looking to expand my horizons.....this turtle went back to the screen inside his shell :). And as a follow up....Dan actually read this review and the very next morning gave me a PERSONAL CALL during trading hours of all things. HE REALLY WANTS US TO SUCCEED. There isn't any better people than those who help you even when you struggle. So I struggled, but Dan is there for you (and me). That is priceless !

Learning how to middle the market turned some of my trades from loser/break-even into winners, even if just a little bit. Sometimes making an extra 20% vs trading the mark. Learning about Vega and how it effects the long option helped a lot. If the long option drops too much in IV the higher Vega overrides the crush of the short option, so understanding how Vega works, makes it easier to pick the correct long expiration date to help in getting an extra edge on the trade.
