Doesn't get better than Apteros I've spent a few years learning NADRO system used at Apteros. And before that just MP before NADRO even began it’s evolution. It’s not overly complex but it is comprehensive–it checks off every factor that a trading system has to account for while still leaving enough room for you’re own personal style. As far as frameworks go, it is dynamic, yet highly structured and gives a proper view of just where the market stands at this moment in time. The student community is solid, culled of any solicitors and those grossly negative, unwilling to learn, grow and foster a culture of success. At one point it had hundreds and perhaps suffered because of this, but as it’s shrunk, inversely has the level of professionalism grown. Merritt Black is a tricky devil. One part drill Sargent, another a wry joker juggling a fund, students, and whatever else he seems to have in his sights that day. Fun to talk to, knows his system, but perhaps more importantly, IF you put in the effort, he responds in kind. I’ve gained a lot of insight just about my own life through my experience with him as he has helped direct me towards a better understanding of the NADRO system, and that isn’t to say it’s been easy. Mentoring isn’t about making you a millionaire over night and often it’s the toughest parts you don’t want to hear, but need to that M seems to have a knack for. Recaps etc. Solid. Levels and commentary about the need for a deeper pullback, a strong potential momentum situation, or even better a “nothing to do, not interested” day could easily be used without any NADRO knowledge. Personally, I use it as a tool to compare my own analysis against, or as an occasional crutch when I can’t put my finger on it. Nothing is perfect, but in this game, this is as good as it gets.

I have started the try out recently and… I have started the try out recently and whatever teething issues I had was resolved quickly. The customer support of Apteros Trading is of very high quality. Even though my time zone is different from theirs, I have received support from Apteros support team which is brilliant.

Honest devolopment for the traders I am in the tryout and also the intensive. Merritt adds VALUE to the traders. I am also experienced with NADRO methodology. It is not a magic method, it is a flexible way of working in the markets.... You understand the process and the context. Deal with the market like an auction is very helpful. I am not looking for money to be traded, I am looking for a real futures prop desk to grow as a trader.

An eye-opener! The NADRO course has opened my eyes to context. Where you place your trades is at least as important as how you place them. I have always seen support and resistance zones as static levels (such as Yesterday's high), but NADRO has taught me that there are also dynamic zones that constitute a much more nuanced way to view the market. I've had access to the course for two weeks and can hardly call myself an expert, but my eyes have been opened to a whole new way of viewing the market. I look forward to the rest of the course and diving into their forum.

It is a rare combination to find someone who is both a great trader and a greater teacher It is a rare combination to find someone who is both a great trader and a greater teacher. Merritt is both. Regularly I wake up in awe of what I’ve learned from him in such a short time. He will not only inspire and teach you to trade well, but also to improve who you are as a person. The NADRO methodology is a dynamic system that maximizes on the discretionary trader’s ability to interpret information and trade well in most markets and conditions. It can be adapted to different timeframes, markets and contexts. But the Apteros community is more than just a system or one person and it is the talented and very ambitious people that you surround yourself with that will make or break your ability to be at the top in any competitive field. Before I came into this community, I thought I knew about trading. I was accustomed to being the best. But here I’m just average and so I have to work much harder to improve and really see the most of my potential. If you are serious about taking your trading to the next level, I can’t think of a better community to join.
