Started investing time learning trading in December 2023, I read books, found a "free" trading community, but I was still missing clarity and switching strategies very often. Most courses in the retail space are carbon copies of one another and those teaching may not be able to really explain what is happening in the market (understand: market auction theory, randomwalk theory, having an edge statistically...). After looking into books and videos done by professional traders, I started to pay attention to the importance of consistency and process. But as I tried to stick to a strategy, I realized I lacked the experience to properly review my own trades (I could tell when this was a good trade, but was still missing the context and then being confused how many losses in a row the strategy may have and other important stats). The context is king in trading, and many retail approaches concentrate on systematic approaches where context is lightly touched (most revolves around simple "uptrend is HH, HL, downtrend LH, LL"). I do not get anything from this review, and will post an update in the future. For now, the 5 stars are because: 1. The course focuses on skills and a concrete method to read the context based on order flow with clear explanations of what "could" be happening in the background. 2. Based on what I had learned in the last 6 months, the explanations are really solid ( not some hocus pocus with buzz words)3. Chris answers the questions promptly and in a detailed manner in the community or in the webinars. 4. The course has quizzes to progress, and clearly indicates when and what to practice (drills). And it makes it clear that practice is a must. 5. The contents look solid covering all aspects of trading (not only the strategy). I am not done yet with the course (ca. 40% as you have to practice along the way). 6. Trusting someone with 20+ years of trading experience and qualifications also for the psychological side of trading (neuro-science) is a no-brainer.I obviously do not know yet if and when I may become a CPT, but for now, I just enjoy the journey, which is what matters.So if you have been running in circle, I highly recommend the TTM. It is also fairly priced, and let's face it, given the years experience and time spent, come to the fact, that even someone successful financially with trading, still has running costs (servers, updates, etc...) so "selling" a course is not always a sign that "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."As sidenotes, if you are a real beginner, the course is also applicable (the learning curve may be steeper though), but at least, you will skip learning things which do not really bring anything. This course mainly focuses on the following asset classes: Spot FX and Stocks. But the methods would be applicable to any asset class (especially if trading CFD's). It also covers intraday and swing/positioning. For options, you get some hints in the TTM, but this is not really part of the curriculum here. Check the website, as alternatives are offered for options.
