My take on group coaching I have been in group coaching for 2 years. John K. is a excellent instructor. With real examples during class you pick up on things you can't get only from a book. There were several, (many) times I wasn't getting a concept and then John would show something or say something a slightly different way and I would have my AH- HA moment. This coaching is mostly swing or short term trades. As such you don't get exposure to adjusting trades. As John K says, adjusting is just closing one trade and opening a new trade with your new assumptions. I like that he stresses proper trade management over everything and the need to have a trading plan with exits thought out ahead of placing the trade.

The Place To Learn Options Trading The best way to learn is with the help of a mentor and I would find it difficult to believe that there are better mentors than the Johns (Kmiecik and Sequin) at MTM. In Group Coaching, the ability to see trade setups and then the thought processes that are necessary for managing the trade is invaluable. The 5 Biggest Mistakes Traders Make lessons(I think there were a total of 20-25) really helped me to identify the weaknesses in my trading (i.e. Holding out for max profit, Not allowing Support or resistance to hold before exiting) and work on improving them (still working on them). If you are serious about learning to trade options and are willing to invest the time, I would find it hard to believe there is a better place to start. Now, repeat after me, "I am a risk manager first. I am a risk manager first..."

Dan and John are true Professionals Dan and John are true Professionals. They are very honorable and down to earth individuals who really care about their students. These Two Gentlemen, have traded for over 30 years, each, at the CBOE, their credentials speak for themselves. One great characteristic which each have, they are in no way, condescending or make you feel bad if you're "not getting it..." They teach the fundamentals and technicals but also, what I consider priceless, their real-world experiences, short cuts and other items/topics, a real-world-how-to, which they learned in the pits, over the years. These "secrets" are what they teach. Their knowledge and experience is top-notch. I highly recommend Market Taker Mentoring, if you want to learn anything and everything regarding the Option Market. Great people, honorable people and the best of the best in this niche.

By Dave Maciewicz Markettaker is a top notch options investor educator/ school. I recently had my classes with John Kmiecik at Markettaker. John is a veteran options trader and teacher. He did a great job using a bit or humor to teach a sometimes heavy subject. He also made himself available in the chat room and e-mail and his classes were archived daily in case you wanted to revisit his lessons. Potential trade candidates were made available daily and once a week time was devoted through quizzes related to understanding the option greeks, a very important concept in becoming a successful option trader!

The course work is excellent The course work is excellent, however the timing of live classes are not always convenient.
