A true community. A community that truly gives the opportunity to go pro. Truly grateful to be a part of this community which really speaks for itself.

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.

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.

Learn to Truly Understand Markets I’ve done and seen a lot of things in the trading world, but I’ve never been taught how to truly generate trades for myself. I think this is the most important thing I can offer to anyone else outside of the Apteros Community. Merritt has been the only mentor I’ve ever had who showed me how to produce trade ideas that work day-after-day. He holds nothing back from you… no secret sauce… no magic indicator… If you are willing to do the real work, there is no limit to what you can accomplish here. I could say so much more, but the simple and undeniable fact is that Merritt taught me to trade consistently for myself. I think that’s the greatest praise I can offer.

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.
