The best way to learn is with the help of a mentor and I would find it difficult to believe that there are better mentors than the Johns (Kmiecik and Sequin) at MTM. In Group Coaching, the ability to see trade setups and then the thought processes that are necessary for managing the trade is invaluable. The 5 Biggest Mistakes Traders Make lessons(I think there were a total of 20-25) really helped me to identify the weaknesses in my trading (i.e. Holding out for max profit, Not allowing Support or resistance to hold before exiting) and work on improving them (still working on them). If you are serious about learning to trade options and are willing to invest the time, I would find it hard to believe there is a better place to start. Now, repeat after me, "I am a risk manager first. I am a risk manager first..."

Great knowledge and great advice. Dan teaches you the ins and outs so you can trade with confidence. If you are looking for someone just to tell you what to trade then go somewhere else. Dan teaches you how to trade so you can do it on your own for a lifetime.

it means a lot that you guys as an MTM team are so helpful with your customers. I'm constantly reaching out to friends and family telling them about Dan and the MTM team. And this is a perfect example of why you guys far surpass every other trading community on the planet!

I have been a commodity trader and in the business for more than 30 years, and will vouch for Dan Passarelli and his MTM team to be among the best option educators in the industry. Their team is highly supportive and responsive to their students needs, current on market conditions and option trading strategies, and totally dedicated. You will receive much more than you expect. - RJR Ft. Lauderdale, FL

MTM is hands down the best resource on option trading that I have found. I signed up several years ago and have participated in a majority of their classes at one time or another. Admittedly, option trading is a challenge and it's not for everyone, but if you're interested in option trading, you can find your niche through the MTM courses. They don't say 'do this'. They say 'here's an idea, now you decide'. It's along the lines of 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime'. Last year I attended the Mastermind training. It was excellent and helped me hone my abilities as well as put me in touch with other option traders in the MTM family. The MTM team wants you to succeed and so they go all out to help. Group Coaching is the best. John K gives you a detailed explanation of his thoughts on possible trades and reiterates basic principles. Oh and he usually includes some quiz questions that put things in perspective. He does this with a great attitude and a lot of humor. I know the time is limited so GC goes fast and I can't always make it to the live class so having the recordings is great. I have done one-on-one sessions with John K and so connect with him a lot. John S gives a FREE review and outlook of the market in his Monday Morning Meetings. Dan does a majority of the other training that's available. All are excellent in what they do.

Before I joined MTM, I had only traded naked calls and puts, and had little success because of my insufficient awareness of risks. I tried to teach myself hedging strategies - I was destroyed by those P&L diagrams, I was so lost and I thought I would never be able to trade a vertical spread (guys I have a PhD in engineering...) By coincidence, I attended a live online lecture that Dan offered - It opened up a new world to me. Dan decomposed the P&L diagrams into different price ranges and guided us to calculate the P&Ls and breakevens. He did such an amazing job teaching them, that after just rewatching his lectures a few times, those diagrams became almost a second nature to me. Not only my learning curve was significantly shortened, I learned so many precious things that I wouldn't be able to learn elsewhere. Dan wrote the legendary "Trading Option Greeks" - He passes his knowledge to his students via trade analysis; I was also super enlightened by his "Options Trading in the Eyes of Market Makers" lecture, where he demystified what market makers actually do (aka, "Delta Neutral" ) - It fundamentally changed my misconceptions of how the stock and option market works. I am also a student of John Kmiecik at his "Group Coaching" class. It's live-trading class every morning. John deep dives his trading ideas in all aspects - technical set up like trends/supports/resistances, picking the proper option strategy, the Greeks, P&L analysis, risk/rewards, and how to manage the trades as the market condition changes. John also coaches us on trading psychology - the wisdom he has gained from his successful trading career. His class is very open and interactive - we all ask questions and share our own trades and John will walk us through his thoughts. I also love the quizzs at the end, they push us to keep learning. It's a privilege to leverage John's wisdom and experience of decades. My daily interaction with him has made me a more disciplined trader, I am a better trade manager, and I am more conscious when I need to sit back and not force a trade. From the bottom of my heart, I feel that I am (finally) following the right people, having the right resources, and learning to do the right things everyday. I feel confident that over time I can become a successful trader.

I started with MTM early this year. I've started with the TED trades for earnings option strategies, then move to one on one coaching with Joe Leska, participated in their yearly summit, currently involved in the Market Daily Edge calls, to finally going early October 2021 to the Master Minds Conference, which is a 3 day of intense learning and trading all in one room without windows :-). I can say unequivocally that it has been money and time well spent. It is really a mindset changer as to how best approach the nuances of option trading, not only you learn about set ups but also managing limits and stop position or an overall risk management which is crucial to my success. In the end, we know that here are a lot of sources out there to learn about option trading, but Dan P, John Kmiecik, John Seguin not only know their craft extremely well, but to me and what's pretty obvious is that they really enjoy teaching and that goes a long way in making me a better trader. They really go above and beyond expectations. I will be remised if I don't mention Kathleen in this post, she's the one who makes sure that MTM is running a tight ship. I recommend anyone interested in learning about options to join MTM, you will be glad you did.

When I started trading several years ago, I attended various seminars, and I was reading a lot of books about trading and specifically about trading options. Before trading options, however, it is pivotal to understand the anatomy of options and how its interdepending parameters are working together and may affect your positions. It was when I came across Dan’s book “Trading Option Greeks” (also a must read for everyone who wants to succeed with trading options and rated among the best books about options) which helped me to really understand the Options Greeks. When I found out that Dan (MTM) was also offering seminars and workshops, I was very excited about it and immediately signed up for the seminars. That was a total gamechanger for my trading performance so far. It was the start of enhancing the consistency in my trading performance. Having been professional traders for many years, all MTM coaches bring vast practical experience and knowledge from the real market and the world of trading. What I also appreciate very much is their passion and dedication towards their students. They really want you to understand, apply and progress. Attending various seminars with MTM and the daily “Market Taker LIVE Advantage Group Coaching” has definitely taken to much higher levels with my trading performance. Besides being all very professional they are also very lovely, fun and you feel that they care about you. I feel very lucky to have the chance to learn from the MTM team and I am also proud to be a member of their MTM family.
