This is great instruction

This is great instruction. I have been a member for three months and I am building a skill that will last a lifetime. They give you options for different levels of risk tolerance and size of your account and they are very transparent. They are trading along with you.

Very little “thought” goes into his trade recommendations. If the market is down 1.5 hours after the market opens, then he recommends at bear call spread for the following day. If the market is up the he recommends a bill put spread. There’s no “science” or “experience” on display. Also, I’ve opened my trading account within one minute of his trade recommendation and every particular trade you can’t even get a nickel for. Instead, you have to choose a spread much closer to the current price of the stock, which dramatically increases the risk. Even with “cheating” on his recommendations, his trades have lost a lot of $$ the last half of last year and this year. You definitely won’t get ahead using this strategy.

It’s obvious Thomas doesn’t like his job at the “Chatroom “!! John Osborn would probably be the better fit.

dave aquino's 11 th hour option trades are very good.
adefinitely on the upside; however Strongly suggest studying the course material and know how to defend the spread. Also know your risk tolerance and size contracts accordingly. Good experience overall. Not too much sales hype. Some platforms are more interested in selling than instructing.

Dave knows what he is doing!

As someone who has a beginners knowledge level of trading, I was skeptical about buying products from anyone. Dave has been wonderful and has put me in a position of comfort with being able to make trades. Great work and I will be a loyal member!

I have tried another program concerning…option trading

I have tried another program concerning how to understand how to read patterns, charts and other related subjects pertaining to "options." After many hours of study. I have yet understood what I have learned, until I discovered "Base Camp Trading" methodology. Your program is such a unique and one of a kind. Easy to comply, understand and apply. Thank-you for allowing myself and others like me, realized that we too can be into the trading world.

Direction found

I am so happy with this company. I searched for a way to trade that would return some consistent income. With the Matrix system I have found the way!!!!

I afraid I have been disappointed

I afraid I have been disappointed in the Basecamp Trading training. I was initially very excited for the EGOS education but disappointed with the actual class itself, it was very basic information at a very high cost. The ads for Basecamp classes tend to promise big but deliver small. One of the things that the instructors should make clear for both Thomas and Dave's classes is that the ability to trade intraday in these setups is critical if it goes against you. Having an account that was below the allowable PDT rule necessitated my holding many of the EGOS trades overnight and I lost more of those trades than I won overall, drawing down my account and I abandoned EGOS trading. It would be good to advise new traders with small accounts to set up a Tier 2 cash account to begin with. That way they could set up more than three trades per week and feel like they could get out of them if need be even if they are limited in how big a position they could take.
I have also taken all of Dave's SPX trading courses, 11 hour, advanced 11 hour, Matrix and advanced Matrix and the MIST intensive. The implication Dave puts out, especially with the MIST intensive is that the class will pay for itself in no time, even possibly during the intensive and in my case that was not true. One of the intensives was during the FOMC announcement and that during that particular announcement price didn't go anywhere. I asked in the following MIST intensive if alums could join in the room during the next FOMC announcement and Dave politely declined. During that FOMC announcement, the class did have an opportunity to earn the money to pay for the intensive and to be honest, I felt a little ripped off having been denied the opportunity to participate, (I did not trade the FOMC on my own as I felt unequipped to do so). After huge success trading in sim I quickly learned that real trading is quite a bit different and I fell below the $25,000 level for day trading and foundered. Not blaming Basecamp, that was on me. Having significant losses has pushed me to go back into paper trading in order to understand better how this works and I have actually been using the PATs system with Mack (a competitor) and have a bit better understanding of price action at a FAR lower cost with better education.
I am currently paper trading the Matrix spreads and placing the occasional one contract real trade as I have funded my account again and I want to be more disciplined about risk management. The reason I only gave three stars is that while I think Basecamp is an okay resource, it's very expensive and for me at least, has yet to pay for itself as was suggested by both of the main educators after belonging as a member for nearly two years . I work full time and cannot participate in the trading rooms save for occasionally but I am currently going back and reviewing the 11 hour and Matrix courses and only focusing on those strategies for now. Hopefully next time you ask I will have a more positive outlook on your product. Also, John Osborne is a bright light in your world.
