Great Fraud

Fraudulent and has pulled the wool over many eyes. Just got billed $197.00 for not even purchasing or signing up for anything.

You signed up for a 1 year membership that auto-renews each year. You should have received an email warning you of the upcoming renewal (perhaps it went to your Spam?). You have been refunded.

30 minutes a day closer to retirement!!!

Clay Trader offered me a structured, easy to learn program that allowed me to work my real day job and learn how to produce extra income for vacations and some retirement. After almost two years in the community I still feel like I am learning each day, and Clay's weekly classes are worth the price of the membership itself. I learned how just 30 minutes of day trading a day can change your whole month!

The weekly live training sessions are a great way to stay engaged and keep learning, with Clay providing real-time insights and practical tidbits.

A no frills trading plan, he wont pump you up to get your cash

I stumbled on to his youtube page and enjoyed his concept, what made me sign up was his no frills lifetime access. This was ideal for me since I was working remote in another state and didn't have full time to access the program. Many other programs give you a short window and then training material is gone (life sometimes get in the way). Fast forward to now, I accepted a retirement package from the Corporate IT world and not have time to focus on learning the material. I locked in a former price and have access to the material, his discord page, and the weekly live reviews. Reading through his material I am doing a lot of head nodding in agreement, also as a former engineer and project manager I enjoy his teaching style. Now my issue is balancing golf and learning, but you def need balance in life. Lastly, his attempt at humor is ok, hey, nobody's perfect.

Great teacher and valuable knowledge

Clay provides great information and knowledge and I've been student for five or six years. The courses that he provides are the best and really help get you started in trading, but beyond that is the wealth of knowledge that can be gained from all the additional info that is available to each and every member. Weekly live webinars, all past archived webinars, interviews with traders, weekly market scans and ideas. Also, the invaluable daily chat room interaction with him and others is the trading community.
Clay helps teach you how to trade. Which is giving you a skill to use. Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.

Ive been with Clay for 5 years now and…

Ive been with Clay for 5 years now and I have learned strategies and how to MANAGE RISK. If your expectation level is to double your money on the first day save your money and go to vegas. If you think your going to become a full time trader sitting at home with your lambocopter don't sign up either. These are skills that require lots of time and working capital just like starting your own business. Keep in mind the best traders in the world Goldman Sacs, Morgan Stanley ect ect average 10% returns a year. But if your coachable, and want to learn a great side hustle and can keep an open mind then Clays program is for you. Ive become profitable after 3 years. I still trade to this day using his techniques but the most important thing is learning how to manage the risk.

He's the real deal

I've been with Claytrader for about 5 years now. He's one of the few down to earth people I found with a realistic training program. To this day he still does weekly live webinars & is active in the chatroom. He may push your buttons like a coach should so you learn from your experiences. I've always recommended him to others.

There's a bunch of FakeClay's on Facebook and Instagram which is probably the only bad reviews you will find from people. If you fell for the "I'll make you 20% a day and trade for you" B.S.. Then shame on you and welcome to the internet!

ClayTrader.com Review

Clay, Nate and everyone else involved with ClayTrader.com and the chatroom are great, fun, people to interact and trade with everyday. The Clay Trader University is VERY thorough and it will teach you everything you would need to know and to get started day trading or investing. It's even a fantastic resource to touch back with later on after you know what you're doing. While I haven't personally attended the live webinars, there is a new one every week that has real trade Setup examples, both trades that work out and trades that don't. The Chatroom is a great atmosphere and additional resource to add to your trading. There's weekly scans hand-picked by Clay, a "trading pit" where alerts are given and more strict rules to prevent chaos, and "the lounge" where we all hangout during the day. The people in the chatroom are mostly traders who have been doing it for awhile whk have seen it all and is a more tough love environment so don't expect to be coddled. Overall, my experience with ClayTrader.com has been fantastic and I've never been happier with a purchase and honestly, the prices are very cheap for what you receive and the experience you get

Education and Value

What drew me in was the education and the weekly webinars. I also like the value that the weekly webinars are all available to go back and watch again at a later time. I enjoy the community and the way the Discord server is setup. Not a lot of fluff, staight and to the point.

ClayTrader has been a game changer!

ClayTrader has been an absolute game-changer on my journey toward becoming a full-time trader. The platform goes beyond just being another educational resource—it’s an engaging, supportive community where every member feels seen and heard. The rich discussions among the community are invaluable, offering insights and perspectives that have pushed my trading skills to the next level. Whether you’re navigating a challenging market or learning new strategies, the support from fellow traders and the team is unmatched.

The coursework is detailed, well-rounded, and presented in a fun, digestible way that makes complex topics easy to understand. The mind-expanding webinars are packed with practical lessons and real-world examples, keeping learning both relevant and enjoyable. ClayTrader is more than just a program; it’s a vibrant ecosystem that fosters growth and resilience. If you're serious about trading and want an environment that motivates you to improve, this is where you need to be!

Lots of time still no profits

I tried clay trader for the price was cheaper than most. After 7 years of studying and a few years of trading both swing and day trading. There's still no trading profits for me. His videos are basic trading strategies nothing complicated to learn. Makes it Seem simple. I lost 3 years of my life trying to learn to trade everyday with no success. His private chat is nice and the same few people post profits most everyday if it's real or not I'm unsure. These are the same people with the great reviews. So to some it works. And for the other hundreds or even thousands who have also gone thru his courses are not trading anymore. Or at least they don't participate in chat anymore. Are there better courses to buy? I don't know as I ran out of time and money to keep chasing a dream. It's not a scam and some people do try to help you find your way. But unfortunately only 5% can make a living from it. So if your not a profitable trader already this may or may not help you. I guess I can't reply to your comment but I purchased the entire CTU in 2017. Yes I have been thru them and in chat for years.

I looked up your name in our system and all you ever purchased was the chatroom. You never purchased any of the services that included the structured courses, so I'm not sure which videos you are referring to that you watched. If you are referring to the free YouTube videos, then you would be correct as those are self admittedly not intended to be the hardcore education. I'm glad you did enjoy the private chat though, thanks for saying it was "nice". Everything else though is a bit misguided as you are blaming the service for something the service was not intended for.

One of the originals ...

I am one of the original ClayTrader members.
I remain a member & try to contribute what I can to help others along their trading journey.
As a retired educator & coach, I was attracted by his teaching in his training videos, which are outstanding - thorough, easily understood and sequenced appropriately.
My success and that of those who've stuck with the journey have been enhanced by the technical approach taught and reinforced by his teaching. But, let me assure you: this is NOT a spoon fed get rich quickly type of environment. Each trader is encouraged to develop their trading plans and style with one common and most important theme - protect capital through risk management.
Clay's personal style within the lounge and webinars is very matter of fact and direct. He'll bust my chops and those of other "veterans" when he thinks it's necessary in an "iron sharpens iron fashion." He also gives time and space to the peeps who are newer to the process.
I'll definitely be around - at least until he learns how to carry a tune - which probably means a lifetime.

Clay Trader is the Real Deal

Clay Trader is the real deal! With so many "Learn how to Trade" programs out there that make wild promises of Lamborghinis, big houses and beautiful women, it was so refreshing to watch some of Clay's videos. He's a down to earth guy, great coach and teacher. I took the leap about 3.5 years ago and bought his lifetime program. The depth and breadth of his educational program is amazing, at a very fair price. There are live weekly webinars for continuing education and a great group of professional traders on his Discord channel. This group is generous with their time in giving stock alerts and answering questions. Learning to trade is hard work and having this kind of support is invaluable. I've had the pleasure of meeting many of these traders in person, as well as Clay, at one of the Clay Trader meet-ups. I can say without hesitation or equivocation that Clay's program has changed my life and I am forever grateful.

Transformational Experience with ClayTrader’s Trading Program – A Game-Changer!

Enrolling in ClayTrader’s trading program in 2019 has been nothing short of a transformational experience. I came into it hoping to gain some basic trading knowledge, but what I received was an in-depth, step-by-step journey that completely revolutionized the way I approach the markets. This program is meticulously structured, catering to traders of all skill levels and packed with golden nuggets of wisdom that only someone as experienced as Clay could offer.

Clay’s teaching style is engaging, approachable, and refreshingly down-to-earth. He has a gift for breaking down complicated concepts into simple, actionable steps that actually work in real-world trading. I found myself having “lightbulb moments” in every session—things that seemed like mysteries before suddenly made complete sense. The videos and materials were top-notch, but what truly set this program apart was the supportive, tight-knit community that Clay has built around his teachings. Having direct access to a community of like-minded traders, sharing insights and feedback, really supercharged my learning and kept me motivated.

Since completing the program, I now have a disciplined strategy, a solid framework, and—most importantly—the confidence to make smart trading decisions on my own. Clay doesn’t just teach you how to trade; he teaches you how to think and act like a successful trader, which is absolutely invaluable.

If you’re on the fence about this program, I can only say it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I went from a hesitant, unsure trader to someone who can navigate the markets with clarity and precision. It’s worth every penny and more! Thank you, ClayTrader, for creating such an impactful program—I’m grateful to be part of this amazing community!

ClayTrader is one of THE BEST trading courses

ClayTrader is one of THE BEST trading courses on the internet and has been for the last 10+ years.

I am a long-time member of ClayTrader (10+years – started in 2013). In my personal experience, this business has provided the best trading lessons and experiences that I have had in 30+ years of trading. I’ve spent a lot of money and time learning to trade on many different courses, seminars, and websites over my 30-year trading career. Claytrader is hands down the best way to learn how to trade successfully for any skill level.

ClayTrader has a multitude of learning programs that allow anyone who desires to build skills in trading markets. Clay, who created this business, provides courses that are easy to understand, a "learn at your own pace" instruction method, live weekly training sessions, a trading pit to come discuss trades and trading methods with other members, and access to additional tools and information to hone your personal trading skills and experience.

The courses are a realistic approach to learning “how to trade successfully” for those who are willing to put in the time, experience, and hard work to learn to trade. The trading courses are the base-building concepts of how to trade. Access to trading pits and weekly seminars help to reinforce technical skills and trading experience through communication and feedback with other like-minded individuals. The community is as important as the services offered in trading - Claytrader has a great group of respectful and professional like-minded traders who come together to encourage and help others along their trading journey.

After 10+ years of experience with this company and individual - I have greatly increased my personal ability to trade with greater profits than before starting Claytrader. My ability to recognize trades that are statistically higher in reward probability has developed greatly over my time with the service. More importantly, my ability to recognize a losing trade and cut losses quicky has been instrumental in the steady growth of my annual returns from swing and day trading.

ClayTrader is worth every penny spent on my lifetime membership. This is a company and individual that is a genuine “real deal” in what is offered. I highly recommend this website for learning and developing as a trader.
