Many traders lack the tools, training, discipline, and patience
to be successful. Personally I believe that for myself, papertrading
for the first couple of years before trying to trade live capital would
have been a wise approach. We enjoy active trading, and wish
you the best in your trading activities as well. Take your time
to learn our methods, and best wishes for success with your trading, once you learn our advanced techniques.
Ken is Daytrading University's founder and is a successful entrepreneur, trainer and active trader.

As a UCLA and CSULB graduate (psychology) and real trader, Ken knows exactly how to coach and help you with the specific entry and exit "mechanics of the trade". You'll participate in world-class interactive trading activities with him that you need to help make your trading approach more professional.
Fact: most trading "coaches" don't even trade, or aren't UCLA-degreed in pscyhology. Since Ken has both, he's uniquely positioned in the trading industry to be one of the more valuable resources available today for active traders. |

Trader "Success Stories" and Testimonials: Plus, see all the 152+ trader testimonials about my online course
These are some of the many customer satisfaction testimonials we've earned over the years (thanks!). No claims of performance
nor profitability are being made in any of these; all comments are individual experiences; "generally expected customer
results are that all traders incur trading losses and most are not profitable", as trading is a high-risk, speculative activity.

I have been studying under Ken for the past 4 years and the improvement in my trading knowledge and skills has been VERY significant. I look back on when I began trying to do this on my own and I have to just laugh how I had no idea what I was doing. Ken taught me so many valuable things - how to scan for worthwhile stocks, position sizing, tape reading, precise entry and exit points,gap and technical analysis etc etc - too many to list here. His honesty, knowledge and training ability are unsurpassed in this industry. His professionally done webinars are priced very competitively, packed with excellent trading lessons, recorded in high quality Blu-Ray, and I constantly find myself going back and reviewing them over and over again. And he takes time to answer your questions.
Trading is very difficult. I think what I like about Ken the most is he is a straight shooter. And whether you are a beginner or an advanced trader, Ken's experience as a real trader will certainly help improve your knowledge and give you a better edge to be successful. Thanks Ken!! - Bud S. |

You really have gone above and beyond in responding to my product shipping e-mail. THANK YOU for the personal attention. I AM IMPRESSED!! I didn't mean to tie you up but i appreciate the follow up.. Doing stuff over the internet is so scary cause you usually get no response and can never get to a live body. Anyways - learned a lot from the ADX webinar, hope there is even more info on the ADX Mastery Disc. I am really looking forward to your teaching, as I need to restore my confidence as I have made every rookie mistake possible and then some! Can't make the webinar tonight but will watch it later. Anticipating much success going forward with your and Steve's teachings. Thanks again, Michael C.

From Richard B., sent in April 21, 2012, for our Trading The Open live trading room:
"This was the second Daytrading University webinar that I've attended and it was again full of excellent step-by-step practical advice that I've started using already. Ken was extremely professional and generous with the Q&A session at the and I get the feeling that he genuinely cares about his trainees learning and becoming better traders. Well-worth the investment, what I learned has more than paid for the cost of the training within a couple of days already." Richard B.
