We have seen some very crazy moves in the currency markets. It does not take a genius to realize that volatility is up. The ATR (average true range) has really increased in many of the popular currency pairs. This can be a major drawback especially for the inexperienced trader. They see these big sweeping moves […]

What People Are Saying…
I have not been this excited about trading in a long time. After over 12 years of trying to do it my self I stated using my first system TREND JUMPER. This has been the best decision I have ever made concerning trading. I am now trading live with real money as of this writing I’m at 83% wins. I know that seems hard to believe but my trading account believes it. I don’t take all the trades signals, I do use some discretion. There’s an old saying you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, TR…
After 2 mos of paper trading the Futures market with PTU2, I’m going live on Monday. Couldn’t be happier to no longer being frustrated by daytrading the Forex. Looking forward to the start of a new adventure trading Futures. Starting small with the TF and ES or YM markets and will add more as the account grows. Just wanted to say thanks.

Hey guys, my trading is really improving now – I’m getting close to going live on the FDAX system and following your rules and tutorials to the tee has really helped me to focus on the bigger picture and learn to take losses as part of the plan, so thanks! I know I still have a journey ahead with live trades soon, but I’m getting great results with simulation trading in TradeStation, and focusing on the Capital Plan spreadsheet you guys provided really helps me to treat this as a business …

Kevin, Thanks for asking, I’m a new trader with limited trading experience. The PTU undergrad course work was fantastic, thoroughly put together and super informative. I was impressed with the professional way in which your team presented the information. Actually, I was vacationing in NY when the classes started. On returning home to FL, I purchased and set up a new trading computer system. Started reviewing the training and TraneStation videos. Will was so kind to help me download t…
I wanted to drop a quick email to show my thanks to the Whole Netpicks Team and specifically PTU. I started with Netpicks a coupe of years ago and purchased the HVMM product followed by UST, Keltner, SST, SSTPRO and finally PTU. One might say if they work why do I keep purchasing them and I say, Because they work. As any traders know we are always looking for the edge and PTU delivers on it The whole process of understanding How to trade are just as important os the mechanics of actually plac…

I wish the PTU had been available when I first starting trying to trade. It would have saved me a lot of time and money. I’m spending a couple of hours a day testing and still getting comfortable with NinjaTrader / ChartTrader. (I’m a lifelong Genesis TradeNavigator user, which I still think is the best charting product by a mile, BTW) Strong Points for me: Sets realistic expectations. Solid coverage of position sizing & money management. Very good explanation of what comprises the PTU in…

Mark, Brian, Mike et al…Just wanted to say thanks for your efforts with PTU. I’m in the early stages of building my trading infrastructure but I am learning A LOT!! Reading recommended books and studying options. I am Simul Trading on TS and last week I bought the 590 Call on AAPL then sold to close just two days later when the stock was around 610. According to the Trade Manager on TS, my P/L on that position was a positive $1.006, on one contract with a cost of around $2,400. I’m not tra…

I am very pleased with the PTU approach. I found the material and presentations very complete. It is organized such that it can be referenced and found easily. In comparison to the SST, I find the SST web site very hard to find things and find the material not consistent in the presentation. My objective is consistent daily profits. Therefore, the one thing I am looking for is a way to control the losses such that these consistent profits are possible, and I am close to completing that as…

Overall I have been very happy, Premier Trader University is a first class product. I have been a NetPicks customer for some time and this is the best package you’ve offered. I really like the methodology, tools, etc. The Pre-reqs were excellent – well packaged and presented. I have a good deal of trading experience and I learned a lot from the Pre-req videos. I also thought the Undergrad training was excellent, doing a great job balancing the wide variety of experience levels of traders on the …

I love the Premier Trader University program. I was at the point where I needed to change the amount of time I was spending in front of my computer trading because I was exhausted caring for an elderly family member plus working at a part-time job. I had previously purchased SST PRO, but because of my family obligations, I couldn’t put in the time needed to learn the system well enough to be successful with it. In spite of that, I found I really enjoyed trading because of all that it could off…
