Here's a few kind words from our traders about our live Trading the Open room so far. We will update this page continuously, so check back every now and then. Thanks for all who've been learning from us! TTO = "trading the open", Daytrading University's Professional Live Training Room.

Here's all the unsolicited testimonials we've gotten from traders who've enrolled with us and/or trialed the room:

These are all cut and pasted from emails our traders have sent in ...thanks everyone - it makes all the work worthwhile! All original emails, with complete headers, are available at our office. Keep em coming!

Andy W (4/5) I would like to thank you for not only helping me to improve my trading but also for having a very professional well run trading room...I now have the opportunity to trade full time and am very exciting to learn and grow by learning through TTO. I just received a free trial to P-------'s advanced trading room. I was just listening to it. They have people cussing and yelling, the room moderator is getting yelled at because he predicted the close this morning and was wrong, and the moderator has turned off his audio and is playing music while people yell at him. What a joke. I just mentioned this because I wanted to show you my appreciation for the work that you do. Thank you very much and I look forward to trading with you over the next several months.

Bill M (4/3) I know how busy you are, just a quick THANKS Between DTU & TTO I finally have direction.

Thank you very much for your efforts in making us better, and professional traders. I really appreciate that you share with us your wisdom, and your experience. Thank you. You are the best! I'm looking forward to some more, exciting online coaching sessions with you. (JB 3/17)

The transcripts are really interesting. Can't wait to try it live. Looking forward to completion of the course modules. The content of DTU has been outstanding and extremely rewarding. I sincerely appreciate the effort.(JC 3/11)

Ken, I want you to know that I am very appreciative of your approach. I was involved with K. Wolff's momentum chat room with some very bad results. I am now an unwilling investor in certain stocks, eg INTC, ALTR, CSCO that I should have never bought and held overnight. But live and learn...hoepfully they will go up...and I will never do that again in this market. Your approach is working for me and as I said I am very impressed with just how professional you are.(DJ 3/6)

I thought it was very interesting what you do, especially the seriousness with which you operate your group. (WV 3/1)

You are offering a very professional trading room, I like the way you teach, it is practical trading in Real time. I am amazed how you follow that # of stocks and find the Entry and Exit point during market hours.I am very positive you will be doing very very well and will expand your TTO every day as long as people know your method of trading feel you are very honest, beacuse of the way you teach, you are offering your expertise. (HK 3/1)

Ken--I have been a DTU/TTO member since approximately Dec. 2000/Jan. 2001, and I have learned an incredible amount of invaluable information from both of these sites. I have totally immersed myself in the study of your system and have paper traded very successfully along with you on a full time basis for some time.(DL 2/27)

I want to thank you for your help and recommendations of this time.Your sincerity shows. I am just starting my online trading career.I know I have much to learn. I look forward to my first 3 months full membership in TTO and beyond. Again, Thank you. Please remember that there is one in Japan who reads the transcripts of TTO word by word,again and again. It's very informative and straigtht to the point! (MA 2/24)

BTW, Being here with you for over a year now (starting with DTU, then TTO has taught me more that I could ever imagined about the market, and trading within in it consistently, and profitibly. Before "stumbling upon" your site, I wasted (a.k.a. lost) ALOT of money trying to learn this trade, and came nowhere near what I've learn from you. I just want ot say you have my sincere thanks for all the geniune support and quick feedback you have been able to give me (us) through the past year. I am glad that there are still good honest people out there like you that genuinely want to teach others, as opposed to BSing them and take their money (we won't name those folks). (LS 2/20)

I had hoped to try TTO out first - perhaps for a month. However, I was so impressed by what I saw on your site that I have accepted this offer - at the 11th hour ! I am particularly impressed by your no nonsense style - and am glad to see that you will be quick to control anyone doing other than asking intelligent questions. (DG 2/18)

I am a physician, and have a hard time allocating the time in the AM to TTO, but I truly
believe that you offer the best instruction and the most help bar none. It would be very tempting to just renew until you stop TTO, but newbie's have to grow up sometime. Your TTO is well worth the cost- in fact I am willing to pay the higher fees later if I feel that I need more instruction! Please keep up the good work- your TTO and web site are the sole reason that I am considering going to a part time surgical practice and daytrade every AM. Trust me, there is no stronger recommendation nor more faith in you than what I just said. (GR 2/18)

I signed up for your monthly live trading class and got started at the start of this week and found it just amazing how you trade. I have learned a great deal in the past few days and I have signed up for your Daytrading University course. (MT 2/17)

Everybody knows the story of the 'Turtles', and how many of those students went on to great things as fund managers, I truly believe that I'm lucky enough to be living the daytraders version of that story. RW (2/14)

Just like to provide you with some feedback about your chat room. I have found the chat room a valuable experience especially in methods of order routing and stock selection. I have concluded that your methods are about 60-70 accurate. In my opinion that is excellent, especially for day trading. Keeping your stops tight and riding the profits is a valuable lesson for any new or experienced day trader to learn. Along with the other methods you teach about managing trades. Overall, TTO is an excellent training room for any new and experienced trader. Please do not become like other web sites that only post their winning trades and conveniently forget about unsuccessful trades. Personally, I have learnt a great deal from TTO, however, I use my own trading method and integrated some or your techniques. Overall, it has made me a better trader and I thank you for that.The only reason why I have provided you with this feedback is because I respect your integrity and honesty in what you are doing. I believe you are the real deal. I wish you every success for the future. (FZ 2/14)

First let me say thanks for everything outstanding performance you do an excellent job...again thanks for every thing, God bless you and yours (JB 2/13).

Thanks. I'm learning quite a bit from you. (JD 2/11)

Just a quick note to thank you for your wonderful trading room... keep up the great work. (TR 2/10)

You run a fantastic site(s), I've found them extremely beneficial...Thanks & congratulations on a job very well done! (JO 2/9)

...Your results speak for themself. I have been in p------- and t-------- and they cost me and t-------- I could not stand the egomanical comments of W----... (RM 2/9)

I did speak with you before and I am a member of another room but can't resist your success rate. So I wanted to see in person. I own your video and have downloaded the screen saver. I am also considering your training room. (SS 2/6)

...And yeah, you're still the best trader out there...glad to know ya. (BR 2/6)

I am been trading for some years in futures and stocks. I am now getting an upgrade on Level II...I will be subscribing to your TTO as soon as I get my computer upgraded. I think yours is one one of the best and I have looked at many.. You keep your promise of no BS and I welcome that. (JD 2/4)

I can sincerely say yours is the best run, most professional chat/trading room I've experienced. Your approach and dedication to sound trading principles are extraordinary, in my view, but what impresses me most is your willingness to share your knowledge so willingly with others - badly needed wisdom in this business. (DB 1/26)

Anyway great site you have. I like your style of trading and the courses are super. As you say "no fluff". My main reason for being a member (MC 1/16)

I mailed your links to a friend of mine whom I told about the worlds Nr 1 trader(Ken Calhoun) and his professional room. So I guess he will join our team.(BR 1/12)

I'm a new subscriber to both DTU and TTO. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to teach us newcomers. I've been at this almost a year now and hadn't really gained any substantial ground in my trading until I started working with you. I must say you've made trading a million times less stressful for me. I actually feel confident about putting on a trade now. I am so grateful for that. (HB 1/10)

So far in about a month and a half I have grossed close to $7000 by I feel that you have more to teach us, and I am advancing my membership in the chat room another 3 months. Please keep things fresh and keep up the good work! (KM 1/8)

Ken, I wanted you to know that I have been also using one of your competitors(KW) side-by-side with TTO and find that yours is superior in several ways, one of which is the discipline in the room. The chatter in the other room sometimes is distracting. And there are many other differences so I thought I would give it a try. (DJ 1/8)

First of all I would like to thanks you for all your hard work. I have learnt loads and enjoyed your teaching style in the TTO room (PN 1/8)

Hi Ken i have been a DTU member for a couple of months now and have got a lot out of the course so i have decided to take advantage of your trading the open offer. (EM 1/7)

Love your chat room, it's great! I have decide to join you...I think you are the best daytrader Iever known(really!), i've spent month studying daytrade, and doing paper trade everyday, I gain about $2-300 daily for the past month, it's sure boost my confidence on myself and the technique you taught me. thanks again.(LC 1/7)

The two weeks that you gave to me (last two weeks of 2000) was an experience! ...I must say that a few live sessions are really making things clear. (MN 1/6)

I really do enjoy the room and its invaluable information and camaraderie. (PJ 1/5)

I am very impressed with your calls in the room. Have earlier used "p-------" and "e-----" rooms.(FJ 1/4)

I really enjoyed the trading room during my two week period, learned a lot and made a couple of bucks too. (JD 1/2)

I am very impressed with DTU so I have signed up at TTO to get a feel for the way that you trade stocks. I feel you have the honesty and integrity that many other services and books do not offer. Generally, they give you just enough information to hang yourself. I have been a successful swing trader on the Australian stock markets for the last two years and I have been trading US stocks for the last year and find them very different. Your methods and teachings have helped me considerably and hopefully TTO will help me apply the knowledge acquired
from DTU and my previous experiences to help me become a better trader in 2001.(FZ 1/1)

I am a self started daytrader from Egypt, and found that what you offer is above the competition, I look very forward to learn from you and your team and hope that this year and the years to come be very prosperous for all of us. (WT 12/24)

I once again thank you for your well wishes and I am very delighted to be part of your team and to be a loyal student of yours, (MA 12/21)

I am very impressed with your chatroom and results...Thanks for all the good tips. I will visit the university and keep in touch. (RR 12/21)

First of all let me tell you that I was extremely impressed and happy that I have really found a place to learn and practice profitably.(HK 12/21)

Hey Ken, Thanks for a great session today. I am really learning a lot about being more precise in my trading. It is really helping. You are doing a fabulous job, I appreciate and applaud you. Ken, I've been in the room for 2 weeks and I've learned such an incredible amount......you are an inspiration......keep up the good work and thank you!(JM 12/21)

Your site is the best I've seen. I honestly wish you well and the best of luck to all of your students (DP 12/21)

I did learn a lot from your comments...I think your method of trading breakouts is very good.....I don't use that method right now, but I hope to add that to my tool box as time goes by. (MK 12/21)

Hi Ken! I would like to thank you for all your effort in DTU and TTO. I am learning alot of info hard to find in the books and my trading skill is improving exponentially! TTO training has made alot of what I read on DTU sink in. (DK 12/20)

Hi Ken, I really liked being in the trading room with you, thank you. It really gave me hope that I too can learn to do this sucessfully! I'd rather be there in Hawaii with you, but for now I'll keep the fire burning here in the Pacific NW. (FK 12/20)

Hi Ken - I really enjoyed TTO's live trading room. It was a great learning opportunity and experience. (CW 12/20)

I consider you a friend and mentor, giving me the chance to retire from flying in a few years (RG 12/18)

The room is working out well for me, and my congrats to you for maintaining a professional and intelligent room. (KM 12/17)

Excellent interview on Traderinterviews.com. It was very much like TTO. There's more good information on TTO in 3 hours than there is in a month at Undergroundtrader. I know. I spent 2 months "underground" before you started TTO. While there was some good information at undergroundtrader, there was also some not-so-good information and some truly horrendous trading calls. I've been trading for about 6 months now, and thanks to you, I seem to have finally turned the corner to profitablilty. Thanks. (DH 12/16)

Thanks for the TTO offer, be there for yah! After all, I owe a 'great deal' to your methods that were so well presented, probably learn even more. (and even I eventually got 'em) ...BTW, great interview on Traderinterviews.com (MH 12/15)

I just thought I would mention this. Your competition sent me a trial login to their chat room so I decided to check them out. After using your services this fell far short.....Anyway, they posted alerts but no clear entry/exit. People were also allowed to get off topic at will. When asked is this an entry for abc stock they sometimes got vague answers like you can give it a try. One person was asking when do we exit a specific stock for 10 minutes without any answer that I heard. Someone else said they were stuck in a stock and could it be a good swing trade. They also received a vague answer...I think you have something good going and should be proud. I feel you raised the level on chat rooms to the next higher level. Dont stop now while your going good. (JC 12/15)

Thank you very much for the Nov.17 TTO transcripts. I just finished reading every word! I really need and appreciate all of your lessons. I plan to enroll again (GD 12/11)

I have also learned more in the last 2 weeks in a practical sense than I ever imagined I would....Thanks... (DN 11/30)

I used your short alerts this afternoon successfully on PSFT and MRVC. It really worked well on small shares. I covered before the market closed for a decent profit.(JM 11/28)

Ken just a quick email to tell you much I really enjoy TTO. It has really been a great educational tool. (PJ 11/25)

I appreciate your cordial approach to trading and openness to share. You and I are alot alike. (LW 11/23)

Just want to thank you for the consideration and care you have put into DTU and TTO (JK 11/23)

Thanks for all your help with Daytrading-U and Trading the Open I have learned a ton of info (mostly how much I really didn't know). The education has been invaluable (DK 11/22)

Thanks for the 2 week trial, Ken.... I really learned a lot, and enjoyed the experience greatly ! I just signed up for another month. I had a great month in June, turning 15 K to 21K in just 3 weeks (with a 5K day in there, too !), but I REALLY didn't know how I was doing it (!), and so each day was met with a certain amount of fear....the "what if's" set in, and I wasn't having any fun. Well, by the end of last week I began to make some small trades after feeling some "direction" developing in my system - thanks to you. When I made $300 on Thursday (11/16) I had a feeling of satisfaction and confidence I never had before while trading, and I felt like I finally knew what I was doing. I am indebted to you, sir, for that gift. Thanks. (DM 11/19)

Just wanted to let you know that I really have enjoyed the trial in your trading room...the education has been very valuable. I especially found the whole number resistance helpfull...it's nice to learn from someone who has experimented and found techniques that actually work a high percentage of the time...Very good service. (BT 11/16)

I am a new member of TTO ,DTU and bought your video few weeks ago and i am very pleased with every dollar I invested in your products . I can confidently say so , because I tried many other books , chat rooms , web sites ...etc , but nothing is good as yours . You simply deliver what you promise and yet beyond my expectations in pure usable advices and information . I just can not thank you enough (ME 11/7)

I must say that I am really enjoying the TTO course and defining the buy/short calls upfront really proves to me how succesful this particular strategy is. Your new site/service looks awesome. I'm definitely going to be signing up.. I'm just now starting to do some real trading, and your chatroom is just what I could use (a real time tutor) (BT 11/7)

Ken, I was in the chat last night and I have to say that I am impressed. The reasons why I was impressed are as follows: 1. Control of the room. It is great how you have rules and stick to them. You keep the chat strictly business, as it should be. Leadership and content, top marks! 2. The way you explain what is happening to the market, the stocks being watched etc. It is a great way to learn, at the coal face - so to speak. 3. The fact that there are more wins than losses, the purpose of it all. 4. Your attitude is top notch. How much are you charging for membership? I am very interested so far and suspect that I will join. Keep up the great work. (RP 11/2)

Hi Ken, GREAT chat room!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely outstanding calls..I'm very impressed with your trading. Perfect call on CMGI this AM along with many others you made this week.. No one could ask for any more..I'm sure it is going to be a big success and word of mouth will add many more members I (RM 11/2)

Let me emphasize again that it was a great experience to participate in TTO (PH 11/2)

My feedback on the room: overall excellent, and I'm also impressed by the level of experience of a lot of the other traders. makes me realize how far I have to go, and of course, its a struggle to be patient, I tend to trade ahead of my learning curve, but I am making a serious attempt to get my trading platform set up correctly (multiple monitors, finally getting DSLt) and to study hard and continuously. Excited about having the right conceptual framework. Thanks for a great room, Ken, in the future I know I will look back at my early months with TTO as the real beginning of my career as a professional trader.(SE 11/1)

Hello Ken. Today was my first day in TTO chat. I have been trading for 2 months (for a living, some before that). Although my recent trading moves have been profitable (mostly, anyway, lol), after visiting with you in TTO for one day, I feel as though I have been trading blind. You have an excellent thing going here. I would like to thank you for moving me up from the Nov 16th trial to this week and tell you that you can count me in as a permanent member. Just let me know where to send the check.(JP 11/2)

Road tested new password-works fine... made a bit of cash using some of my training from last two weeks-thanks..(MC 11/1)

thanks for all of your answers to the questions; I appreciate it a lot. I am trying to make the transition to trade full time, and you and your site are helping a lot. I am learning lots and making money thanks to you. I also like the USMC discipline in your instruction.(MP 10/31)

I have tried some othe chat sites, but found them to cluttered with noise and also I just can not follow 20 different stocks everyday. Anyway I liked what I saw in your chat site, and hope it can stay the way it is.(DM 10/30)

I'm delighted you have a system with tight stop losses...my kind of trade! Most of these chatrooms advocate what I feel are ridiculously broad stop losses. The whole number entry is a favorite of mine too.. I'm excited to learn your techniques. I'm extremely pleased with these results. I didn't trade any of these...just watched and studied this technique today. ....4 out of 5 trades successful. Compare that to (competitor url) or (competitor url) where they are running about 50% on their calls with unrealistic stop losses on the losing trades. I'm very excited about this technique and I'm eager to learn more of the finer points you use It's good to be back in TTO...it's a bit of a family...a safe haven. :) I always learn something new every day from you. Thanks so much for your
efforts Ken! .(MM 10/30)

Thanks, Ken, for your generous free trial offer. You are as good as your word: you do what you say you will...my kind of people. Really a fantastic service you are providing. Thank you again.(DG 10/29)

Have gone thru the site,lots of imformation,and I am really impressed with it.You give knowledge that I can use,stuff your can not get from a book,real hands on.I read the transcript from your first day and was very helpfull,full of imfo I can use now (JP 10/29)

I have been watching your chat room for the last 2 weeks on your free trail. I want to renew for a month...Have enjoyed it!!!!!!!!! (JK 10/28)

I want to give you my opinion of TTO so far. First, Its a great opportunity for new traders and even not so new traders ;>) to have a real mentor. You do give away a lot of trade secrets not found in books..You have a great concept here..(CP 10/26)

First, I wanted to drop you a quick email letting you know how much I am enjoying the TTO chat room! I can't even begin to tell you how much I want to be a "successful" (key word) professional daytrader! --- I am trying to be patient with myself, but I am pretty critical and expect alot of myself (I guess that applies to most people). you have made some great calls! I was 4 for 4 paper trading Monday Oct 16- Wednesday Oct. 18th.P.S. I am looking forward to learning more fantastic, professional techniques in TTO from one of the best....as optimist, I plan to be a successful, professional trader and a long term member of TTO :-) Thanks again for the lessons, patience, great calls, patience, explanations, patience.....(LM 10/26)

The other thing I like to tell you: I am happy I´ve found you as teacher. I think you are probably the best in the net...Your techniques work! (MK 10/25)

I find the TTO chat room to be very informative.(GM 10/24)

I have really enjoyed TTO this week.(JL, 10/22)

I noticed transcripts on TTO on Monday, October 16. Very impressive! (EA 10/22)

The TTO is great. I've never looked forward for the weekend to end and for Monday morning to come. I can't wait for Monday and TTO. It is such an emotional relief to finally understand and realize what you've been doing wrong form the past year. (AP 10/22)

Your calls were fantastic as usual ...Thanks again Ken and keep up the great work. Having tried out a few chatrooms including a week at ----- I think TTO is already on par to be the best and as all our traders get to know each other it will get to be a family. Great calls today. (PM, 10/21)

I know I still have a long way to go but today really helped a lot with confidence and the execution or 'pulling the trigger'. Also, on a couple of trades I thought I would try, your comments kept me out of them and I did not lose on them so I was glad of that. It was a great learning experience. I like your little quiz questions as we go along, they are uncomfortable but they make me think and I realize that is a learning point also. I think you may really be able to teach me how to trade or at least be proficient at it. Just a thanks for the week. I will be a regular on TTO I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your site and what you are doing for traders like me, it really means a lot.(SA, 10/20) Just wanted to say I thought today was a great learning experience and the noon session really helped to further understand execution. (11/1)

Thanks again for creating the DTU course, the video and TTO! Your ability to convey your trading knowledge in such a comprehensible way is amazing! (HG 10/18)

Yes, I was in and saw you in action. Nice trade with good tutoring and explaination of position. Will definitely join.... (TW 10/18)

Thanks for the password for Trading the open. It's a great room. Just what I needed to see the real pros in action in real time! It's going to be a HUGE success!! (MS 10/18)

Also wanted to thank you for your courtesy in replying to my emails. I contacted several other trading sites and you were the only one to reply to my questions. I have been a small business owner for 20 years now and really believe in helping the customer, and can see that you believe in that too. (JK 10/18)

Thank you once again for this great teaching. I am finally beginning to understand the charts. I feel great to have your support.(SS, 10/17) once again thanks very much for what you did for me the last two weeks. Slowly things are getting clearer. I am going to sign up for the next three months in order to get serious with it. (SS 10/27)

I was in the chat room this morning and yesterday and I thought the information was very good. TA was good and I learned some things - I like the 2 day high/lows. (MR 10/17)

Hi Ken Your TTO is a 10. You are a 10. I asked for integrity. I got it and more. (RS 10/17)

It was very helpful to see the calls it makes the lessons at DTU more dynamic. It reinforces what I learned at DTU. AWESOME. Just signed up for 3 months and looking forward to it. I am beginning to realize how important it is to trade selectively., making sure indicators and trends are going in your direction. I have learned a tremendous amount from you and sincerely appreciate all of your time and energy that you put into teaching. (BH 10/17)

Great job in the room today... was impressed with the calls. on going training was also very good (M.C. 10/16)

I just had a chance to look at your TradingtheOpen web site and take your virtual tour..it is absolutely Great! Presentation and explanation of objectives, expectations, goals, and rules etc. (RM 9/23)

More to come, stay tuned traders!
