Recommended mentor and perfect investment system
Highly recommend Sebas as an investing mentor. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism, strong expertise and clear communication.
I needed a simple investing system, not a second job that takes extra time.
The 1-Hour Millionaire program helped me build a solid ETF portfolio that takes just 60 minutes a month.
I am very greateful to have started this investing system, it is simple, clear and efficient.

Stefano, this is exactly why we built this. Financial Freedom shouldn't cost you your freedom.
Most people think they need to stare at charts for 4 hours a day. That is the 'Trader Trap.'
The 1-Hour Millionaire™ System proves you can beat the banks and fight inflation with just 60 minutes a month.
You are now building a tax-efficient ETF portfolio that compounds while you sleep. That isn't just investing; that is buying back your future time.
Honored to be your mentor on this journey. Keep executing the plan!

Perfect for busy investors who want structure, not hype
I joined The Institute of Trading & Investing and completed the 1-Hour Millionaire Method™ to find a time-efficient and structured investment approach.
The training is well organized, easy to follow, and focuses on building a disciplined portfolio strategy rather than constant trading. The promised time commitment of around one hour per month is realistic and fits well into a busy schedule.
The method helps me improve consistency and portfolio performance, with results in the expected range when applied correctly and with discipline.
Sebastian and the team are professional, transparent, and supportive. This program is ideal for people who want clarity, structure, and long-term growth — not for those looking for fast, speculative trading.
Highly recommended for serious investors with limited time.

Armin, powerful feedback. You hit the nail on the head: Structure beats Hype.
In a world of 'get rich quick' crypto gambling, the Institute of Trading & Investing stands for boring, predictable, compound wealth.
You realized that a disciplined portfolio strategy is the only way to win over 10-20 years.
By using our 1-Hour Method, you are not just 'hoping' for returns; you are engineering them with a rule-based system.
This is the difference between a Gambler and a Wealth Builder. Glad to have you in the family.

My PIP was awasome
The four-session training with Sebastian was exactly what I needed. The content was clear, structured and easy to follow step by step. Unlike other courses that left me feeling lost, this gave me a solid system I could implement right away. I've already reviewed the videos to refresh the process and everything still feels simple and practical. I truly loved the training and highly recommend it 100%. Thanks so much Sebastian!

Tania, I love this. 'Unlike other courses that left me feeling lost.'
That is the problem with the finance industry - they make it complex on purpose so you feel stupid and hire them.
At the Institute of Trading, our mission is the opposite: Radical Simplicity.
You now have a turn-key investing system you can use for the rest of your life.
Whether the market is up or down, you know exactly what to do in your monthly 1-hour session.
That confidence? That is priceless. Thanks for trusting the process! 👊

Consistent results with minimal time
I started the Personal Investing Plan in January 2025 with Sebastian.My goal was simple - grow my savings without spending hours trading. The monthly 1-hour process fit perfectly with my schedule, and the guidance is clear and practical. By September my returns are well in the double digits .. More important than the number, Ive stopped second-guessing and now follow a system that makes sense. Communication is responsive, the steps are easy to follow, and the focus is on discipline rather than predictions. I found this a fit for me as a busy professional and parent who wants to grow without living in charts .thank you Sebas

Double digits by September? Boom. 💥
This is what happens when you stop 'guessing' and start following a system.
Flory, you are proof that you don't need to be a Wall Street expert to get Wall Street returns.
You just need a Monthly ETF Routine and the discipline to stick to it.
You are no longer 'saving'; you are Wealth Building. There is a huge difference.
Keep holding the standard high. Your future self will thank you for starting this Personal Investing Plan in 2025!

One of the best investments
Before having my first discussion with Sebastian, I was wondering if maybe the price of the course was too high, and if it would really be worth it. But as soon as I spoke with him, I realized that it’s not a cost—but it’s a great investment.
After just two sessions with him,from the personal investing plan program, I’m not only happy for making this investment, but I’m also deeply grateful for everything I’ve learned and received. The program is very well structured and very simple with a clear strategy,i believe it s mind blowing what he is teaching.
Moreover, I didn’t just learn about a strategy of how to invest smart, but he also opened my mind so much.
if you want to learn where and how to invest your money in order to multiply them,I believe with all my heart that Sebastian is the right person at the right time. He doesn’t just help you with investments, it also helps you become a better and wiser person.

It was a real pleasure working with you on your Personal Investing Plan. I admire the way you showed up ready to learn and apply - that’s why you’re already in such a strong position to make the system work for you.
I’m glad you found the sessions practical and easy to follow, and that the structure fits around your busy schedule. That’s exactly why I built this approach - so professionals like you and me can grow wealth without having to sacrifice time or energy.
Wishing you continued success with your plan - and remember, I’m here if you need any support along the way. 💪

Excellent education and Perfect Trainer
What I appreciated the most is that Sebas (Dr. Pips) is an amazing person—knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping you achieve success.

This event gave me a boost in both skills and mindset!
Had such a great time at the Master Trading Transformation Day by the Institute of Trading! It was a hands-on event with a small group, which made the vibe super personal and energetic. We went deep into real trading strategies and practiced them live, not just theory, but actual application.
What I loved most was the energy in the room! Everyone was engaged, open, and willing to share. I learned not only from the content, but also from hearing everyone’s different mindset and approach to trading. It really gave me fresh insights and motivation.
Also met some amazing fellow traders, it was super inspiring and just fun people to be around. Definitely one of those days that gives you a boost in both skills and mindset.
Highly recommend it if you're serious about trading and personal growth!

The Master Trading Transformation Day is designed to break the isolation of trading. Most traders fail because they are lonely and lack feedback.
In our small group workshops, you get immediate correction on your execution.
You saw firsthand: Real trading strategies + Live practice = Fast results.
Glad you left with a boost in both skills and mindset. That is the winning combination.
See you at the next event!

Great experience w/ 1 day Intensive Trading Course
Had a great experience with the 1 day intensive trading course. Sebastian is a very knowledgeable trader, but he is able to explain the concepts in a very easy and clear way. Also, his teachings focus on simple and effective strategies, avoiding unnecessarily complex stuff.
He is super friendly, helpful and pragmatic, and I feel confident that what I learned from him are realistic and doable, and not some overhyped "trading guru" snake oil.
Definitely recommend!

Filipe, 'No overhyped snake oil' might be the best compliment I can get.
The industry is full of Ferraris and rented mansions. We focus on Charts, Risk Management, and Consistency.
The 1-Day Intensive Trading Course cuts out the noise. We teach what actually works in the live markets, not what looks good on Instagram.
You wanted pragmatic trading strategies, and you got them.
Now, the ball is in your court. Apply what you learned, keep it simple, and the results will follow.
Proud to have you as a student.
