The Trading Academy is great
The Trading Academy is great. The instructor is very knowledgeable with sense of humor. However, style and methodology of instruction was not right fit for me. The class was too challenging (fast) and as beginner with no trading experience “Shortcuts” was challenging to grasped and apply at “lab” portion. I did gained knowledge (many takeaways).

Getting to know “options” like a new best friend
Getting to know “options” was like meeting someone new that is now an important part of your life. I had no clue of all the options (no pun intended) of true trading available out there. Great experience and info. I would highly recommend it. If this is going to be your thing. You have to be here at some point.

Jordan’s core strategy is very practical.
Jordan’s core strategy is very practical. You can definitely trade if you follow ALL the rules he taught.
You better watch on demand first and come to his class, you will a much better understanding for everything he taught.
I also took Joohong’s class and lab training for core strategy. He uses very simple words to explain the profound terminology of trading. Patiently explained the key points. For a newbie like me, trading is not that foreign to me. Strongly recommend taking his class too. Cannot wait for his next one.

As a first time student
As a first time student , the instructor was excellent. His teaching method is better for me than “text book” teaching. I would like to have spent more time in areas I needed, but I understand that he has to cover material within 5 day period. An excellent class for sure, that I will take again.
