I waited a year to write this review because I knew I needed time to see if the stuff taught actually works. Many students eagerly left positive reviews right after the Bootcamp because yes it is well run and Stefanie is nice and patient and makes you feel like she's giving you some secret sauce to trading that no one else is privy to so you will probably leave feeling really good and confident that you can do this...But fast forward a year later and a bunch of us have now left the Java Pit because we were losing so much money. After talking to seasoned traders they tell me they do not trade around the dark pool because it's too iffy. You have no idea what was the positioning. One trader who has been doing it for a decade straight up warned me that my trading room "sucks" after I told him about the trades we were putting on under Stefanie's recommendation/guidance. For eg I would say we shorted AAPL because of XYZ (always some dark pool related rationale) and he will say "I cannot believe your room did that when ABC is happening (some logical rational, non dark pool related reason). And he would be right. I definitely regret going with this program and wish I had joined a different room instead. Stef calls it old fashioned trading in a high tech world, but I think the reality is she hasn't kept up with the times. Her methods MAY have worked decades ago when she started but not so anymore. It's way too simplistic and you won't be swimming with the sharks like she says - you will get eaten alive by them. Save yourself the money and frustration and look elsewhere for your trading education. I think the teacher is very nice but I'm not looking for nice in a trading education program. I'm looking to make money, and consistently. Sad to say that was not what I found here.
