GBI just finished the one week… I just finished the one week Intermediate / Advanced Options Boot Camp with Andrew and what a great learning experience. I have followed Andrew's trading of Options when ever he has been in the Java Pit and he really knows his stuff. Andrew has a wide knowledge of how Option Spreads work and it is made very clear watching him assess different market scenarios and watching him put on trades and take them off. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to take their trading to the next level using option spreads to take this class the next time it is offered. I can't wait to apply some of the strategies I just learned. I am proud to give this class a 5 star review.

GBOne year in and I can tell you to skip this unless you want to lose a lot of money. I waited a year to write this review because I knew I needed time to see if the stuff taught actually works. Many students eagerly left positive reviews right after the Bootcamp because yes it is well run and Stefanie is nice and patient and makes you feel like she's giving you some secret sauce to trading that no one else is privy to so you will probably leave feeling really good and confident that you can do this... But fast forward a year later and a bunch of us have now left the Java Pit because we were losing so much money. After talking to seasoned traders they tell me they do not trade around the dark pool because it's too iffy. You have no idea what was the positioning. One trader who has been doing it for a decade straight up warned me that my trading room "sucks" after I told him about the trades we were putting on under Stefanie's recommendation/guidance. For eg I would say we shorted AAPL because of XYZ (always some dark pool related rationale) and he will say "I cannot believe your room did that when ABC is happening (some logical rational, non dark pool related reason). And he would be right. I definitely regret going with this program and wish I had joined a different room instead. Stef calls it old fashioned trading in a high tech world, but I think the reality is she hasn't kept up with the times. Her methods MAY have worked decades ago when she started but not so anymore. It's way too simplistic and you won't be swimming with the sharks like she says - you will get eaten alive by them. Save yourself the money and frustration and look elsewhere for your trading education. I think the teacher is very nice but I'm not looking for nice in a trading education program. I'm looking to make money, and consistently. Sad to say that was not what I found here.

GBIf you're serious about trading, read this Wow...I thought I knew enough about trading but was tired of letting losers run and winners stop before reaching their potential. What we learned in class goes so far beyond technical analysis and really into the meat of how the market works, how we work and how SMART traders achieve their goals. If your Fibonaccis, MACDs, Stochastics and RSIs leave you wanting more, this is your class.

GBVery effective class The instructors made sure that everyone had multiple opportunities to ask any questions, no matter how basic. They stuck to the agenda and did not give preference to class members who had several years of experience, which really helped me. The handouts are great. I felt like the instructors genuinely wanted to make sure that we were all successful. My confidence in trading options has soared. I highly recommend the Options Boot Camp.

GBBest training for traders of all… Best training for traders of all levels. Stefanie dedicates two full weeks' to ensure that she shares what has made her a successful trader for over 26 years. As well, there are practice sessions with her assessment of where you can improve. You come out of boot camp overloaded with information and with the recordings of every class you can repeat over and over until you grasp it all. And with a whole group of traders that are now your trading buddies.
