Who is the Ultimate Trading Summit for?
The Summit is for everyone interested in trading, whether new or experienced. You may be just beginning, or perhaps you're working on advancing your skills further. Either way, this Summit will show you the path forward in 2025!
How much trading knowledge and experience do I need to take this class?
This Summit is packed with information. If you are a complete beginner, don't worry—no prior knowledge or experience is needed. We have had students of all ages participate in similar trainings. However, students below the middle school level may require some assistance from an adult.
If you have some previous knowledge of stock trading, the Summit will give you a stronger trading foundation to build on.
What is the time commitment for the Summit?
Each day's training is between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the topics and Q&A. Students are encouraged to practice what they are learning during the days between sessions. Students who enroll as a VIP member will have access to additional sessions and resources.
The program is designed to immerse you in the learning process, while still fitting into a busy schedule.
Are classes live? Do I have to log in at a specific time?
Yes, the training sessions are taught live! Interaction and questions are encouraged. Students who enroll as a VIP attendee also get lifetime access to the recordings and notes.
Live trainings are held every day from Sunday, January 12th, through Wednesday, January 15th, at 7PM (Eastern) daily.
What do I need for the Summit?
You must bring a positive attitude and willingness to learn! A pencil and notebook (or digital equivalents) are strongly encouraged as well.
While not required to attend the Summit, a brokerage account is necessary before you can trade. Some students prefer to start with virtual accounts. This is your decision, but we encourage you to learn with discretionary funds... money you can afford to lose if you make a mistake. Additionally, a charting platform/software will be necessary for technical analysis.
Can I enroll later?
At this time, there are no plans to repeat the Ultimate Trading Summit.
We strongly encourage you to make live attendance a priority. You'll be doing your future self a massive favor!
