Hi all,

I'm new here.

I was just wondering if anyone had any first-hand experience, good or bad, with the course offered at Day Trading Course Emini Futures

This is a 5 day, 1-on-1 training program given by Paul Quillen. It focuses on trading the eminis, using price action and Elliott Wave only. I have been interested in this program for 3-4 years now, and have been corresponding with Mr. Quillen for that same period. From my interaction with him, he has been a stand-up guy, very generous and patient in addressing all of my questions.

I am now seriously considering signing up for this course, as I'm really interested in finding a trading mentor/coach.

I just wanted to see if anyone has had any direct, first-hand experience with this course.

Any help or info would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Mate, if he's been "a stand-up guy, very generous and patient in addressing all of my questions" for 4 years, and you still don't know how to trade eminis, I don't think a 5-day 1-on-1 is going to make that much difference. To you.

It'll make a difference to him though. $5,000 difference.

well, I am always looking for ways to improve my trading. And, I am attracted to his style of trading ( trading using price action only ).

again, have you taken the course yourself and was there something in particular that made you feel it was rubbish?

If you're trading hasn't improved in 4 YEARS with this guys support, what's the point? If after 4 years of trading you're still considering taking his course, something is fundamentally wrong.

Hi Bramble,

I need to clarify then.

He HAS NOT been providing me with trading support for the past 4 years. I have not been trading his method for the past 4 years, as I haven't taken his course.

I have been asking him questions ABOUT his course, off and on, for the past 4 years. Now, I'm at the point where I am seriously considering taking his course, to learn his method, and to improve my trading.

Hope that clears that up......

TheBramble

It does.

I'm going to suggest, with respect, that if you can't pull the trigger and make a decison on whether or not to take a course for 4 years, your career as a trader is going to be frought with difficulties.

Do you have any trading experience at all?

What else have you being doing WRT trading in those 4 years?

Hi Bramble,

Yes, I have been trading the eminis, real-time, during those 4 years, on a part-time basis. I have had mixed success. I'm looking for ways to improve my trading and to eventually switch to full-time trading, and I am interested in the style of trading taught in that course.

I have been hesistant to "pull the trigger" on taking that course....mainly because it is expensive at $5,000.

I've now saved up the money to take the course, and I'm very close to making a decision. But, before I do that, I wanted to inquire here if anyone had any direct, first-hand experience taking it, good or bad.....

You mentioned initially that it was utter rubbish. Could you please elaborate on why you felt that way?

TheBramble

If you need to ‘save up’ that sort of money I’m going to hazard a guess it represents a significant amount to you. In which case, your trading capital will have been of similar proportion and significance to you over those 4 years? If so, spending that amount on a course is just plain crazy, no matter how attractive the subject matter (which is a little off the wall for a tyro anyway) may appear to you.

Use the volumes of useful content available on this site (you may have to go back a ways…LOL) to improve your trading to a level where you can trade consistency successfully full time and then treat yourself to the course – if it still has any appeal.

That’s probably not why you’re here asking this, for one of two possible reasons, so I’ll bow out now, but will be delighted to assist you in your further trading development through this medium should you wish.
