Student Testimonials

"We are very lucky to be in Brandon's class. He has a lot of patience teaching all his strategies. He is very generous and approachable, explaining all of his techniques/morning routines/secrets of profitable trading." Ghitrell P., February 2013

"Brandon is an awesome instructor. He made the material easy to understand and, most importantly, I feel confident I can apply what I learned to make money." Alfred H., February 2013

"The trading sessions led by Brandon illustrated concepts, both new and old, in ways we could comprehend them enough to actually apply them ourselves in the future. I liked Brandon's demonstrations of trading and coaching our set-ups one on one. He corrects our dangerous habits and gives us the correct reasons for taking a particular trade. Brandon's positive energy is maintained throughout the day and keeps us alert and engaged with the material. Even when he is answering the same question for the sixth time that day [sometimes from the same person] his tone of voice never reflects any impatience with us. He honors every individual with respectful attention and checks that they understand the answers. He uses questions from the floor to expand the breadth of the topic and improve our sophistication. His language and choice of words are among the most lucid of OTA's top instructors." Rod T., January 2013

"Brandon was excellent, obviously as a trader with an incredible amount of experience, but also as a teacher. He really knows how to impart the information in an efficient and logical manner." Michael M., January 2013

"Brandon does a great job in covering the information making it interesting. He has patience in answers our questions, plus is willing to share his trading knowledge with us." Steve M., January 2013

"I am a relatively new student, Oct. 2012 Pro Stock graduate, but I have been watching many XLT's to continue to learn and refine my ability to find the strongest levels. I just finished watching your XLT from May 17, 2011, Finding the Strongest Supply and Demand Levels. I wish to thank you for the clarity in which you explained finding these levels, and the examples you used to illustrate them. You answered many questions for me. This feels like another piece of the puzzle just fit into place for me. I will advise my coach, Rusty Lee, how much it helped me as well. Thank you again." Robert G., December 2012
