Photon Trading Reviews 305

Totaly game changer for me i join photon 6 month ago and Their trade planews are amazing

Learning how to trade with photon is great! The way of how Matt teaches is very crystal clear and can be easily understand by beginners like me. I would love to continue to study with them if my funding allows me to. lol

This guy talks alot omg I got bored and didn’t want to complete the course because of his way of teaching if the video length is 50minutes 10 minutes is the information needed to be mentioned and 40minutes waste of time he needs to stop talking i gave up his course

It’s been around a month since I first joined Photon, and if i’m being completely honest it’s been great. I was into trading slightly before this and the other course which I purchased was no where near as informative and intricate as this one. The way Matt and the other coaches express information is second to none and it really gets drilled into your mind. I completely recommend this to anyone who wants to start trading it is suitable for all levels.

" Matt Donlevey " deserves a seat in heaven !
QUALITY SETUP
a. structure
b. liquidity
c. supply and demand
Saved me !

The Photon Trading membership is a top notch course and community! Matt is a gifted teacher and has created a course that is very detailed and easy to follow. Looking back at all the content, I forgot how much there truly is. The weekly content Matt, Dave and Tomas provide is exceptional as well. The photon course material is more than a strategy, it teaches how the markets move. I was in another mentorship before and they basically only taught you a step by step strategy how to enter the market and didn't provide the understanding as to why price moves up and down. The discord community is very professional and managed accordingly. I highly recommend the Photon membership to anyone who truly wants to take trading seriously and wants to become an independent trader. It's a ton of hard work and you have to be dedicated to put in the time. That being said, I would absolutely join again. I hope to be in a position shortly where I can rejoin with a lifetime membership just to be apart of the community.

Yesterday was an unexpected win for me, and I felt compelled to send this to Matt on Discord:

Hey Matt! Just wanted to drop a quick "thank you" - I just had a very unexpected win today. Last year, when I first started the Photon course, I followed your advice to put aside 10% each month. I did that on my business account. Opened a savings account with €11.000 initial funds. Then 10% each month + EOY I put some extra in there. I'm about to cross over €50.000 next month. Absolutely mind blowing and at the same time, completely logical.

I didn't really think about it. It became automatic identity. Not willpower. Today that led to a massive confidence anchor when I realised that I opened that account just 13 months ago... This is what it means to be funded by me 😁 Thanks mate! Couldn't have done it without you / Photon 🎉

Now let's roll back the tape to march 2024, when I first enrolled in Photon. Watched the same videos, heard the same words and was part of the same community that I was when I re-joined 5 weeks ago. But last year I dropped out, this time, it’s sticking - hard.

So what’s the difference? I am. In one of the first videos from the course Matt lays out the requirements: “All this is achievable by every person. You don’t need a lot of money, you don’t have to be a genius. Just follow my steps and anyone can do this.”

And then, there’s a list. I think that many who start Photon skim over this list, eager to “learn to trade”, make money, become rich. But as is everything with regard to the markets, this is exactly the wrong way around. The market won’t solve your problems. You need to solve yourself, before you can solve the market. Trading is the only profession where inner health translates to outer wealth. Here’s the list:

My first go around, I drank, was stressed out, slept poorly, worked hard and didn’t exercise enough. I skimmed over all these things. I’m different! But going through Photon that first time I was confronted with a lot of myself. Many a thing I wasn’t ready to be confronted with just yet. So the inevitable happened and things quickly derailed. I tried to rush through the material. Nothing really stuck, and I got caught up in automating stuff and started chasing new shiny strategies. Photon? Photon didn’t work.

Life later forced me to change. I quit drinking. Quit smoking. Did a ton of internal work. Meanwhile, I kept active in the markets but mainly through automation. Chasing dopamine through backtests. Then suddenly a thought hit me and I re-subbed with Photon. Going through the material from scratch. The same videos, the same words, just a different person myself. I’m diligently doing the reps, as Photon prescribes. Not rushing it. Asking questions where needed and putting in the time every single day. The markets are already starting to speak back.

The short of it is: you need to bring the ingredients, Matt and his team will tell you how to cook. And they will do it like no other. But if you bring shit ingredients, you won’t like the dish. There are daily chart breakdowns, weekly market recaps, coffee breaks - everything is right there for you to become a profitable trader. If you’re willing to do the work, there’s no better place than Photon.

The best part? The psychological foundation. I made 25% of my yearly income without having done a single trade. Just through changing me and how I approached my personal finances. All thanks to Photon and their advice. The course is designed to mold your new identity as a trader. The rest, will follow.

Today, my life is 10x better than it was 13 months ago, and I still haven’t made a single live trade. Thanks to fully stopping with drinking, vaping, and quitting all the other short-term dopamine addictions. Thanks to taking a long hard look in the mirror and being brutally honest with myself and what person I want to become. That’s the power of Photon’s teachings. It’s not about the money. It’s about becoming the best you. The money, will follow.

I started Photon trading around two years ago. I joined for a month and went through all of the videos so fast, I did it on 2x speed and took notes, putting all my waking hours into studying. After that, I left Photon and didn't apply the strategy I learned, as I hadn't put in the work of backtesting it and analyzing the live markets.

I then joined Photon again, this time for a total of 9 months, and although I was in it, I wasn't using my resources; I was just focused on making money instead of making the process what it was all about.

Two months ago, this all changed. I have the head knowledge, but I didn't know how to apply it. I started just paper trading on the charts, trying to figure out the process. I was taking paper trading positions, and it completely changed everything. Working hard and sticking with the process is what will keep you going. And eventually make you profitable. I just got my first payout of 1379$ and it has made me ecstatic. Thank you to all who have been with me on my journey.

Thank you Matt and Coaches for everything you’ve taught me. Your mentorship has been invaluable, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into helping me grow as a trader. Your course has given me the confidence and skills to navigate the market on my own, and I’m excited for this next chapter.
This is what i needed and finally get everything you teach on technicals and market structure! Wishing you all continued success!

Incredible course and community. I was lucky enough to stumble upon photon fairly early in my trading as I knew what i was looking for which was a mostly mechnical trading system and after watching the YT videos i knew this was where i wanted to learn. Within around 6 months of full time studying and learning and a lot of backtesting and forward testing I managed to come up with a trading plan which was profitable.

I still had some psychological errors at the start with revenge trading and over trading but thanks to the psychology webinars and the professionalism in the discord it helped me trying to stay focused. I managed to pass multiple funded accounts and payouts every 2 weeks completely changing my financial situation.

If you are sitting on the fence I can tell you 100% this is worth money if you are willing to put the effort in to learn it without trying to rush to the end

im in photon from 14/11/24
its the best course around.
im doing this review because Matt deserve for real, people need to know how valuable this is, if you want to be a professional trader this is the place.
stop wasting money around, i did 1 month to try out and on the second i bought lifetime, this changed everything for me, the way i see price action my psycology and market structure.

As a beginner trader, I felt completely overwhelmed before joining Photon. I didn’t know where to start — there was so much information out there, and I struggled to make sense of it all. I felt lost and unsure if I’d ever be able to trade confidently. It was intimidating, and I kept questioning whether trading was even something I could pursue.

Joining Photon changed everything. The guidance and structure made it much easier to understand the process step by step. The super supportive community where I could ask questions and learn without feeling judged. Suddenly, things started to click, and I began building confidence with my market analysis and trades.

My experience so far has been excellent. I’ve gained so much knowledge, and I’m already seeing progress I never expected this early. Every time I approach the market, I now have a plan, and it feels great to trade with purpose instead of guessing.

If you’re a beginner and unsure about joining, go for it — it’s one of my best decisions. The support, education, and community are game-changers, making the learning process much smoother. You don’t have to figure it all out alone, and with Photon, you’ll have the tools and confidence to grow as a trader.

The community from the offset is incredibly welcoming. The course of itself is a start to finish guide on how to become a professional trader. Combine both of these points with a daily consistent support structure of market analysis across London and NY, this truly is the full package for anyone looking to take trading seriously.

I say all of this after spending many years wasting time with non-professional, social media branded courses and strategies.

Finding photon on really did change the game and make me level up.

It causes way more confusion than warranted and there are a lot of traders who give a simple method to trade!! Not worth the effort needed to hone the skillset. If you sign-up, prepare for wasting years with them. They have designed the whole content in a way to make sure that you remain a subscriber for long.

- I watched Matt video on Mechanical Structure back in December 2021 and I thought, here is the course I can take it. The video was professional and I end up signing for the subscription.

- Matt had a course version 1 with 4 key elements. 1) Market Structure 2) POIs 3) Liquidity and 4) Entry models. Matt had long winded posts going on and on about very basic concepts over and over again. Which did not clarify the issue, but made it even more confusing. Even in his daily mark-ups, there was a lot of same stuff repeated but it did not make me a day trader. Note that I devoted my whole time everyday watching videos, marking charts, reading to the comments.

- Then over the course of 2022 and 2023, he started making new changes to the course material and started re-arranging which caused even more confusion and total waste of effort from me again as I end up spending another 100 hours going through the course. No use at all. Entry Models were changed and renamed. New material was added which made no sense whatesoever like stage A, B, C, D and strong and weak resistance.

- Matt, Ed and Tomas has never shared their own trading journal or there is no community trade journal for you to review the trade setups on a the chart.

- I end up taking extra lesson with Tomas which was again just ok. Nothing became more clear to me. Even the video recording he sent through wetransfer is lost and on my repeated emails, there is never an answer

If you want to understand what is their strategy, just watch their YouTube. He tries to protect his entry model and does not show but it is nothing but a very famous entry model known to everyone called Strong Liquidation Entry Model where the price breaks a structure and then reverses to continue in the trend direction and takes the recently formed low.

I started at Photon a few months ago. I have also taken other courses for this. I always ran into the same thing. Beautiful things are promised. But ultimately the strategy doesn't work. That is frustrating and does not give you confidence. After taking the course at Photon, I traded with confidence for the first time. Matt explains everything very well, step by step. Everything is as mechanical as possible, which suits me very well. Another big plus is the daily content that you can use from the Discord. The coaches will show you the right way by sharing analyzes every day before the sessions. And markups after session, so you can see how they traded. There is also much more content outside the course. For me, the biggest goal achieved is that I trade with a plan, and therefore with confidence. If you're still in doubt, you've come to the right place. Of course, it doesn't come naturally to you, you have to put in time and work. But with this course I believe that you can become a profitable trader.

Excellent , takes time but the stuff is excellent

I’ve only been part of the photon trading community for approximately 20 days and man the value and the knowledge that Matt , David and Thomas provide is eye opening.I finally understand market structure.Of course I am not ready to start taking trades since I am only at the start but I am very confident that with work and patience the results will come. Definitely worth to join. Amen.

Just finished my 1st read of the 140 videos. I very much like your structure and narrative. Makes sense to me.

I am retired, 84 years old, software engineer, no success at trading. But I am like a cat mesmerized by a laser pointer. I love the activity of trading. At this point in life trading is mostly a recreational activity, but I would like to achieve consistent profitability.

I will be re-listening to the videos. I am looking forward to doing well. Thanks for putting this all together.
