Real Testimonials from Our Students

Results have shown it's a bargain

Mike N., Standard Edition Graduate

I want to thank you for the wonderful training you've given me...the results have shown it is well worth it - in fact, a bargain. I have been actively trading for about 4 months now and just made my most significant gain yet. It was a DOOZIE...by following your training.

Changed my family's lives

Chi T., Elite Edition Graduate

"You all have really changed the trajectory of me and my family's lives! I am so blessed to be a TechniTrader student!"

Gains exceed cost

Daniel F., Premier Edition Graduate

Prior to doing TechniTrader’s course I almost gave up on trading and just started investing in mutual funds, but I knew other people were making more than average returns from the stock market and if they could do it then I could too... I have paid off my courses just from the gains that I’ve made in the market, so essentially they’ve cost me nothing.

So much more than expected

Janice P., Standard Edition Graduate

“This course was much more than what I expected. Well explained, and very good charting examples. Definitely a good reference and review source. Very Good Content. This course has answered so many questions that I had. Definitely a 5 star review by me. I wish I had known about this course several years ago.”

The best course I've experienced

David C., Premier Edition Graduate

I have tried many educational (and promotional) trading courses and have been trading with mixed success for some time. This course is particularly thorough, clear and also demanding, so provided I keep to all the advice and rules I will look forward to consistent and enjoyable trading. Many thanks!

I really should have taken this course 10 years ago

Eric T., Elite Edition Graduate

I cannot begin to tell you how much I like the course. I really should have taken this course 10 years ago. But there was so much more that I didn't know I needed to know.

Eye Opening

Laurie V., Standard Edition Graduate

The Methodology Essentials course and the continued education with TechniTrader has been eye opening. There were multiple areas of trading I desired to understand as well as how to study candlesticks, different chart patterns and the crucial indicators that were necessary to use. My personal results in the stock market have yielded nice net gains with the last 10 of my 11 trades thus far closing successfully.

Beyond what I was expecting

Michael D., Premier Edition Graduate

I have to comment that both the breadth and depth of information you make available in this program offers a level of thoroughness well beyond what I was expecting. As I'm sure you are aware, there are many other companies offering training programs and courses for would-be investors. I made a leap of faith to select yours and I'm really glad I did.

Paid for the course on my 1st trade using your scans

Richard P., Elite Edition Graduate

Being an experienced options traders I found it to be very useful as it gives me a better understanding of the markets and who is in charge. Using your scans has been very useful. I paid for the course on my first trade using your scans. I believe this is a must course for any type of investor.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What determines the price of your courses?

    Think about how much money you could make over your lifetime once you have mastered this thorough education on trading or investing in not only stocks but most anything else you'd like to trade or invest in. The value it adds to the lives of our students is worth much more than the price of tuition. But we've brought the price down to just cover our costs, which include professional-grade tools and ongoing support. You're really getting a university-level education for a community college price.

  • Do I need prior trading experience?

    No! The Standard Edition is built for true beginners, while the Premier and Elite editions serve more experienced traders. But all editions lay a solid foundation first and build up to trading plan execution at the end.

  • How long will it take?

    Most students complete the video modules in about a month and then spend at least 3 months on simulator trading before they go live. Each student is different, but we're here for ongoing support along the way.

  • What if I fall behind?

    No worries! We’re most concerned about helping you get through the course material. Just contact us to discuss.

  • How does simulator trading work?

    If you already have an online brokerage account, then it probably has a trading simulator available for you to use. We'll help you find it and the order types we teach during Phase 2 of your Methodology Essentials training. Or, we'll provide you with the best recommendation for your needs.

  • Which charting programs do you support?

    We have the most tools available for TC2000, MetaStock and Stockcharts.com. But we can support most any other program: TradingView, ThinkorSwim, TradeStation and more.

  • Can this methodology be used for trading e-minis, forex, cryptos or overseas markets?

    Yes. While you'll learn from the focus of the U.S. stock market--the largest, most liquid, transparent and regulated market in the world, which anyone anywhere in the world can trade--our trading methodology can be applied to any market. We recommend that all beginners start with U.S. stocks and branch out from there.

  • Are there any additional costs?

    Only if you want to add onto your trading education or continue reviewing your courses after 1 year, which is usually more than enough to complete and review the Methodology Essentials a few times. The trading tools that come with the course, which we create for 3rd party charting programs, are yours permanently. But once you begin trading, you will have the normal costs of trading for 3rd-party charting data services, brokerage fees and any other services you need. You'll find our best recommendations for these 3rd-party services in your course.

  • Is there a guarantee?

    Yes! We offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee — if you’re not happy, you can request a refund.
