I joined TDG at the end of February 2026, with March being my first full month trading with the group. I started by trading only evaluation accounts until I felt confident, then moved into copy trading—first to 10 performance accounts, then 20, and now currently 31 accounts.
I mainly trade the MYM, exactly as taught in the course and reinforced daily in the trade room. TDG truly feels like home. The culture just works—the humor, the self‑deprecating honesty, and even the music all perfectly match the way we trade and make the experience both focused and enjoyable.
What really sets TDG apart is the people. There is an incredible amount of support, shared knowledge, and genuine encouragement. It’s a place where you learn how to stop blowing accounts and instead build toward consistent, manageable payouts with prop firms.
For context, I’ve been trading futures for over a year, and before that I traded stocks and options for nearly 20 years. I started with the 7‑day free trial, upgraded to the 3‑month access, and within one week I paid for the lifetime membership. That decision was easy—and it’s the purchase I’ve regretted the least in my entire futures trading journey.
I highly recommend TDG to anyone serious about learning how to trade futures the right way. I’ve truly enjoyed my time here and look forward to staying with this group long‑term.

I’ve been part of a lot of trading groups and gone through more training material than I can count, and I can honestly say that what TDG provides stands out above the rest. The way Rod teaches is incredibly clear, practical, and easy to implement. There’s no unnecessary complexity, just a straightforward approach that actually makes sense and can be applied right away.

The level of support at TDG is amazing. Rod and his team are extremely generous with their time. Beyond the daily trade room and group training sessions, they’re always willing to connect 1 on 1 to help work through specific questions or challenges. That kind of access and willingness to help is rare.

The community itself is another huge advantage. It’s motivating to be surrounded by people who are all pursuing the same goal and share the same passion for trading. I’ve connected with several other members, and having that network where you can exchange ideas, gain insight, and stay encouraged has been incredibly valuable.

What I appreciate most is the responsible, risk first approach that Rod and TDG emphasize. It’s not about hype or shortcuts, it’s about building consistency, protecting capital, and developing as a trader the right way.

I highly recommend Rod, his team, and tradersdevGROUP to anyone interested in futures trading, whether you’re just getting started or already trading and looking to take things to the next level.

TDG lifetime member for almost two years now…best trading educational investment I have ever made.

I’m funded and earning payouts, and a huge part of that is the growth I’m experiencing due to TDG, Rod’s live trading (leads by example…manages risk and teaches small account trading), and all the mentoring and support available too.

It’s genuinely a FANTASTIC community at TDG. People care and are trying to learn how to trade the right way. We support one another in discord, on the pre-market zoom call (PMZ), in afternoon Trader’s Lab sessions, etc. Rod also has monthly Master Classes for lifetime members and so much more.

The framework of the strategy - mean reversion - is easy to understand and learn. It has statistical, back-tested, proven edge. Does that suggest trading is easy? Heck no…it takes a lot of hard work, self-awareness, and passion to make it in this crazy endeavor. If you understand that you must develop your trading skills, you WANT this badly, you want “adults in the room” for a bit of support and at times, comic relief, then you’re a great fit for TDG.

I can only say, it’s the real deal. You will absolutely learn the framework needed for profitable mean reversion trading. The rest is up to you and your level of commitment. But there is a lot of comfort knowing you are in a good place with like-minded traders all on this journey together. Take the leap! It’s worth it.

Great community, and more importantly, great education being taught by Rod. In a few years I really believe I’ll be able to pursue trading full time cause of what I have learned from this community!

I have been with TDG now for a couple weeks and here are my results so far.I passed a 25k eVal and am now on an Apex PA account. Also I have two other accounts right now that in a weeks time are over $1100 each. Rod teachings have been amazing and have really changed how I trade. It’s really easy to understand and makes trading really less stressful. I have used other people’s methods and passed evals, but then right away blew my live accounts. Rods methods are clear and if you follow the rules and teachings you’ll end up being profitable. I will only trade this style from now on and I want to say thank you to everyone in TDG.

I really appreciate the time and effort Rod, Brad, and the TDG team put into teaching, and then reinforcing what’s been taught, all while making it fun. I didn’t realize that trusting my system was my greatest weakness. They’ve taught me how to trust a system that works consistently and generates amazing amounts of capital. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I can make a living from day trading that far exceeds what I make at my day to day job now.

Professional Traders perspective
I wanted to write a totally objective view of the TDG group / framework and offer specific insights from someone who has worked in a London proprietary trading firm and how it has specifically helped me. Who I believe it can benefit, who it wouldn’t and how in my opinion it provides the shortest line to profitability and consistency of any of the education that is available online.
My back ground was in trading the German Bond Curve, European Equities, US Equities and Commodity futures focused mainly on data points, news and repricing events.
Why did I choose to invest the time and money to look at the TDG framework?
Because my general everyday trading outside of repricing events was not as consistent as I wanted it to be and was looking to develop a less discretionary and more mechanical approach to the periods of the year where news flow and data flows were reduced. In simple terms I wanted to extract more money from the market in a structured way.
What intrigued me was the fact that Rod has a track record of over performance and delivers results in a risk adjusted way, putting risk at the front of the engine rather than focusing on strategies.
I signed into his 1 week free introduction just to see how he went about things and went from there eventually becoming a life member

What is different?

- Rod trades micros even though an elite 7 figure a year trader
- RISK – RISK - RISK
- He produces risk adjusted returns day in day out
- He gives practical and detailed answers to questions every day
- There are pre and post trading day education rooms
- He doesn’t print huge numbers through over leveraging he produces it through control across multiple accounts -
- He is not an influencer looking to sell you Cr@p you don’t need
- Its simple and mechanical
- Low prep time
- Value for money
- Rod trades live everyday, you can see how much he makes and how much he losses in real time NO BS

What will you learn?
How to take advantage of the greatest game changer in trading history – prop firms and access to unlimited capital once you can demonstrate you can manage risk effectively.

- How to trade from a probabilistic stand point
- Removal of fear from your trading
- How to understand risk in a practical and usable way
- How to execute flawlessly
- How to stop losing money
- How to copy trade and develop an ever upward equity curve
- Access to a repository of live trading and recordings of daily trading sessions
- A simple and repeatable process driven methodology
- A lot of fun in a group of people all driving in the same direction

Who its not for?
Individuals looking to just copy or be gifted trades and profits from the market, if your not committed or prepared to love this pursuit and in it purely because you think trading is an easy way out or a way to make money quickly and easily this is not for you.

You have to do your own press-ups!

Who is it for?
- New traders starting out prepared to put in the required effort and screen time
- Established traders looking to be able to take a framework and integrate it into their own thinking
- Struggling traders, if you are struggling with tilt, consistency and psychological issues around trading (People believe its psychology holding them back but 90% of things traders put down to psychology is more likely a lack of belief in their approach that then leads to problems because of their approach to risk!)

Many people get stuck in a cycle of feeling they are making progress but in real terms they are just either standing still or creeping forward, this framework will spin everything on its head for you if you take it seriously.

If I started my journey into trading again I would simply have started here and been done with it. If you relentlessly use this and work on your game you will become consistent and profitable. We all have different learning timeframe but eventually every single person can get there and he shows you its possible

This group completely changed my trading for the better. I’m more disciplined, consistent. The strategy is simple, effective, and well-taught by Rod, Steve(PMZ), Brad and the team. My results are up and my stress is down. TDG truly rocks! Thanks

Rod and the TDG team have a great approach to trading - managing risk is the top priority. There is no magic bullet or special strategy presented - just tried-and-true approach to trading futures in nearly any market conditions.

TDG is a great group. Rod, Brad and his team do a nice job with training you to trade future the correct way and not over leveraging yourself. The room is a fun and educational and everyone is respectful and a positive environment to learn. Even the entertainment with jokes, music and Rods occasion singing, I'm still a fan and recommend TDG. Thumbs Up !

I love the TDG conservative day-trading approach! The live trading room is a great learning environment to hone our craft. Rod possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience, and the concepts that he teaches in the trade room are practical, conservative, and simply work!

Pretty simple and honest

I’ve been day trading futures for almost 3 years, and it’s been a very difficult journey. I’ve spent thousands on courses and coaching that only helped marginally, and I’ve followed YouTubers showing overlevraging and destructive trading habits (something I’ve done myself too).

I first came across Rod years ago, when he said beginners should focus on trading micro contracts. At the time I dismissed it, thinking trading bigger would get me results faster (like some other guys on YouTube). After a lot of trial and error, I find myself circling back to that advice with a different perspective.

I just finished the trial with his trading room and decided to join. For me, the value seems to be in observing a consistent and disciplined trader live, and trying to learn from that example while I engage with the market myself.

I'm still on trial testing the system. So far I'm impressed with TDG concept of trading the VWAP deviation bands, trading only micros in the Futures markets and sticking to the plan. Roderick Casilli has been very helpful explaning all the details of how his system works both on his morning broadcast as well as in YouTube. I have improved my trading quite a bit following the TDG system. I highly recommend it.

If you are looking for mentorship in trading this is the place. Questions are always welcome and Rod wont make you feel like noob for asking. Trading is hard and this group doesn't hide that instead encourages the time and effort to become good at it. I especially like that risk first is always mentioned unlike many other figures in the prop industry who are just gambling. This is to learn to trade not gamble.

I've been trading a LONG TIME and have never been successful at trading. Rod teaches the proper way to trade the futures markets and I have learned so much being a part of the TDG community. Rod has been successful for a very long time and he does his best to help everyone who is a part of the group. The price of membership is worth every penny!

Finding this group has been a game changer for my trading experience. It has helped me become a more disciplined trader and now the payouts are flowing on a consistent basis. The approach is simplistic but very effective. Rod is a great communicator and patient teacher while juggling multiple markets and trades. Just put the orders on the line and stay within the bands will get er done!!!

I'm so happy and relieved to have found TDG after years of trying various services and mentors. This really is the best trading community in existence. Rod keeps it fun, upbeat and entertaining while teaching in depth and sharing valuable knowledge/wisdom from his extensive trading career. His professional credentials and resume are only outdone by his singing voice! TDG is seriously the best foundation to build your trading skills on. The framework is simple to learn but not easy to master. It still takes lots of hard work and discipline to implement. There are no shortcuts, but this is the best path forward.

For me one of the best concepts is sticking to a Daily Risk Budget. Knowing when I'll hit close takes so much stress out of the day. And preserving my capital means that I still have plenty of "at bats" left to stay in the game long enough to keep getting reps in. This really is the only way to trade live small accounts and/or funding firm programs. TDG way lets you size up over time when you've earned it. Being properly sized takes so much stress out of trading. Keeping things TDG style lets me save my mental and emotional capital for the rest of life. So much of trading stress is self imposed by bad trading habits. Micros make money!

I'd highly encourage anyone here to sign up for the free trial, you can hop in the room and ask Rod or members any questions you have. The lifetime option is insane value. Really nothing close to it, especially considering what most furus are charging these days. Rod is in the room trading live and teaching every day. There's a great community on discord too. If you're willing to put in the work/screen time this is the best path towards becoming a self sufficient trader consistently putting up true risk adjusted returns. And having fun while doing it!

I've been trading futures for more than 10 years and have participated in half a dozen rooms along the way. All of them have been helpful, but none have improved my results more than TDG. I'm happy I found my way here, and I liked it so much I sprung for a Lifetime subscription. Rod is a unique combination of superb trader and great coach. My monthly results are way up, and my stress level is way down. My consistency has never been better. TDG Rocks!

Fun, easy going and profitable group! Highly recommend!!! Solid strategy, supportive community and couches!!!
