Great experience. I mentored with Merritt in 2018, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him and the Apteros community. He is a gifted teacher, with a true passion for his craft and a real connection to his students. He teaches brilliantly, whether its a planned talk or on the fly, open to any question, analysis of whatever session or market. He just dives in and the information flows. His depth of knowledge and experience is clear, but he keeps on evolving and upping his game, and sharing with the community. Truly leading by example. I found the Apteros community amazing. Such diverse, supportive, clever and good-humored quality people! I will always think of Merritt as a master wayfinder of the trading environment and journey, who was generous enough to show me his maps. I continue to benefit from the knowledge he shared, every day.

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.

It took a few attempts but I finally… It took a few attempts but I finally found a community that fits. These guys are the real deal. I'd recommend Apteros to any new or seasoned trader who's serious about taking their career to the next level.

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.

My best career decision I met Merritt and joined his daily market preps in the beginning of this year. Then, I started to study some of the tools he recommended, followed his webinars until I became a student of his NADRO methodology and joined Apteros Community. The NADRO methodology is a framework that shows you a deeper understand of markets and it has been a real changer for my trading journey! Merritt is a great teacher and his clarity when explaining all topics is unique! In addition, Apteros community is the best place I have ever seen to learn, improve and connect with in the markets. It impressed on me how I have improved after joining this community, not only as a trader, but as a person, and I can see it reflecting in many aspects of my life. I am so grateful for all the knowledge Merritt has shared with me and all the Apteros Community! Thank you, thank you and thank you!
