GBGreat 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.

GBYES!!! Just do it! Get the course and trade well... I have gotten started with study of the course, now on Module 3 and it truly is like drinking from a fire hose as Merritt stated in Module 2. Such high-quality information and methodology to learn to flow with the markets and stop fighting it. Really just tremendously impressed. Merritt's delivery of content is sonically pleasing LOL but most importantly he gets the idea across so effectively it is really an amazing experience. Sounds crazy, but this is the first time I have ever really felt like I was actually getting more than my money's worth from a course that I bought to help me actually survive and thrive in my trading. Foundationally the course starts with focus on mental control and moves to core ideology for the system, with successive modules expounding upon the prior module to take the student on a journey of [correctly done] market profile mediated buy / sell pressure discovery. It has been very satisfying to watch price action unfold in real time as per Merritt's careful explanations and hand-drawn illustrations of formed hypothetical scenario modeling based on course content. Gosh I so wish I could have known about this course and Apteros Trading a long time ago. I could have saved my self over $200000 in losses and money spent on other sub-par courses over the last 30 years. This is no exaggeration. It looks like I will finally be able to enjoy having a solid trading methodology with foundational focus on what makes markets price action move. It is genius really. The course is not cheap but compared to my lifetime of crushing struggle and defeat, how expensive is it really? Think about that... Thanks Merritt and Ryan! This course is the real deal.

GBIn my 15 years of capital markets experience… In my 15 years of capital markets related experience, I’ve never come across a more thorough and robust framework for analyzing markets from a technical perspective. Merritt has developed a fantastic program and as an advanced group mentoring student, I can honestly say I’m better prepared than ever to tackle my trading goals. Merritt truly loves what he does and it shows in the quality of his work; I strongly suggest anyone serious about trading like a true professional to get involved immediately.

GBDoesn'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.

GBApteros Trading To say I have been around the block when it comes to trading education who be an understatement.... I have been working on becoming a profitable trader for over 15 years. During this time I learned a lot of valuable info (and some terrible) but I just struggled to put it all together into a system that suited my personality. The beauty of Apteros (and NADRO specifically) is that it really blends a lot of methodologies together into a useable framework. You still need to put in a huge amount of work to find a niche that works for you, but the foundation is there if you are willing to grind. The highest praise I can give, is that developing my strategy under the NADRO Framework gave me the confidence to leave my comfortable corporate job and pursue trading full time. Being a part of this community is the best decision I have ever made in regards to my development as a trader.
