I am just getting the newsletter but as… I am just getting the newsletter but as part of that they have a webinar How to Read Stock Charts with Neil Hamilton. It is just a basic chart reading course which I have done several others over the last couple of years but the way Neil does the charts and patterns is getting through to me where others have not. If I can put some of these things to work and make a little money I will go for the full course.

Craig Schiedlo Craig Schiedlo has twice taken the time to explain your services and shown me their benefits in a patient and helpful manner. I couldn't ask for a more helpful individual who seems to be working with my best interests in mind. Craig is a credit to your organization. Robert Clayson Your receipt from Benzinga #2115-3253

Updated Review- Essential is Expensive but worth it. Avoid Basic. UPDATE: I signed up on a market holiday and was not able to reach anyone. On a regular market day I was able to reach someone via chat. BOTH of their paid services are called Benzinga Pro. But the one you WANT is Benzinga ESSENTIAL!!! That service is amazing. Customizable newsfeed, detailed earnings calendar, Premarket and real time scanner. It is professional grade, a lot going on and the service is pretty good. BUT it is expensive. If you can afford, it is worth it. BUT if you cannot afford Essential DON'T get the Basic. You are better off waiting till you can afford the real thing- Essential plan. My suggestion to Benzinga might be to eliminate the Basic plan. It is a watered down version of the premium product. So even though it is a lot cheaper, the Basic plan is a worse value because it provides so much less.

Yearly subscriber wishing for a live tutorial on how to use this platform I have the benzinga pro yearly subscription. I've been using it for roughly 6 months. I did not get the 2 week free trial. I signed up on a holiday week special. I primarily trade pre-market. I wish the tutorials were better. I must have watched the tutorials a dozen times, the pictures are very very small I can hardly see them, and you can't zoom in. I've even gone on YouTube to try and watch other people explain the benefits of this platform. Unfortunately most of the YouTube videos are three and four years old, and don't show trading in pre-market. I'm still not sure what it offers that other platforms don't. Maybe I'm just not sure how to use it properly and haven't found anyone who can explain it to me. Everybody else seems to like this platform. I can tell you honestly it has not increased my trading profits a penny since I've had it. Benzinger is not a cheap platform it's very expensive. Currently it seems to be a waste to me. Its also frustrating that i get 5 emails a day offering me other benzinger subscriptions. I wish they offered a training class on the best ways to use this platform. Currently I would not recommend this platform. Edit. 2 days after I posted my review I received an email from Ryan at benzinga. He sent me links to better tutorials, and asked me what could he do to improve my experience. That impressed me. It showed me that the company and Ryan, really care about their business and subscribers. I then dove into all the tutorials. They are quite extensive and I did learn a lot about the platform. I was unaware how powerful this platform can be if used correctly. It offers a ton of information. One example, I was going to Capital trades for insider trading, unaware that Benzinga pro has that feature. I'm still in the learning curve of this platform and I'm sure I will need to go back to the tutorials again to make the most out of this. To sum up my experience. I wish I would have known how to use this platform 6 months ago when I signed up. I wouldn't feel like I wasted all that time and money. If your thinking about signing up, I would suggest you take them up on their 2 week free trial and learn all the ins and outs. I'm updating my review to 5 stars.

Learn to Read Charts Neal Hamilton does a great job of explaining how to read stock charts, especially for those just starting out. I always learn something new and helpful. Great interactive sessions.
