What students are saying about Martin Dim:
"Marty is the man, I doubt there could of been a better instructor to learn from!!"
Eric S., April 2009
"Martin Dim is an excellent Instructor. He is very personable and stays conscious that he maintains a
pace that everyone in class could follow. His integrity regarding this is impeccable and because of this, he is changing lives."
Deatrice R., March 2009
"Marty's extensive floor/screen trading experience made him an awesome instructor. It allows him to bring
insight into the classroom that, as students, we would not be able to receive otherwise. There is a lot of material in the
Pro Trader 1 & 2 classes. Though I took a plethora of notes, it will be difficult to retain all the key ideas and points. I am
sure as I become a more proficient trader, those ideas and points will become clear. You seem to have a first class operation, I
saw that as soon as I walked into the Charlotte facility and met Dan, Andy, Charles, Tray and Keith. I would refer others to this
academy."
Brian B., March 2009
"Marty, is far and away the most knowledgeable instructor I have had so far. He has the patience to work
with a student and was always helpful when answering questions. I would recommend him and his teaching methods to anyone. When
a person lives through 1987 at CBOE and can talk about it rationally, he has what it takes."
Donnie S., January 2009
"Marty really knew how to present the material and was passionate. I would take any course he would teach."

trader!"
