Review – Trading Eminis With Trading Concepts Inc.
-
For those curious or willing to take on the challenge of learning a new investment methodology, Trading Concepts Inc offers a home study package on how to trade Emini futures.
Eminis are electronically traded futures that are much smaller than existing futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The claimed advantages to trading Emini contracts include greater liquidity and flexibility. The most popular Eminis are those that track popular stock indexes such as the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq 100.
The home study Emini Trading System course provides a wide assortment of preparatory material, including a 250+ page comprehensive manual, 4 professionally shot video tapes (50+ page manual), 3 hours of professionally recorded audio cd’s (50+ page manual), unlimited phone/e-mail consultation, free unlimited access into the members area, and a free day of market training.
It Does Take Personal Effort and There Are Risks
Trading Concepts Inc. claims that the average student will take roughly one to two months provided they are prepared to spend between five and eight study hours on the course a week, to learn and actually begin using and profiting from Emini trading.
The company’s website does acknowledge that while futures and options trading offer potentially significant rewards, day trading does involve high risks and you can lose a lot of money. As always, please do very thorough research, and be careful.

I wanted to know if your charts are in candlestick form?
I watched the free dvd and I got a bit confused because
most of us use candlesticks for charting especially
the e minis.

I purchased the course and I can say that it is essentially another smoke and mirrors scam. It may come as a surprise to some people that he does not even use this system to trade! Just sits back using hindsight and then points out where the entries and exits would have been. Professional traders don’t sell educational systems, because they are too busy and too succesful. Waste of money. Do not recommend.

Unfortunately I’d have to agree with RT. While trading is about individual effort and willingness to put in the hours, it would be nice if the mentor is actually a successful trader. Now, I’m not saying that he is not, but all kinds of yellow flags have to go up when the only the main approach to mentoring is a bunch of marked up charts AFTER THE FACT. That’s an industry wide trick. Don’t fall for it.

I have had the Trading Concepts course for over 10 years and I have made a ton of money with what is taught in the program. Todd Mitchell is a great teacher and the trading principles he teaches have changed my life. So, for any negative comments that have been made about Todd Mitchell and Trading Concepts I really can’t understand that one bit. Anybody out there that is truly serious about their trading MUST take the Trading Concepts program, it’s truly a life changer.

I purchased the Trading Concepts course and do not recommend it. The guy who peddles the course does not trade for a living, he sells educational materials. The service is crap and the system’s entries and exits are a joke. I am at a loss at the positive comments here. If you bought ten years ago as some of the responds seem to suggest, when the course was selling at a fraction, that may make sense. Otherwise, stay away. Trading concepts is not a reputable firm.

As a long time trader at both the retail and institutional levels, I find the negative comments perplexing. The material is fairly straight forward and certainly in the realm of mainstream trading. Further, Todd has a Emini trading room where you can see him and an associate trade this system effectively.

I would like to contact RT, GH, or DRV. I am considering purchasing the course. Please contact me at tbonds1234@yahoo.com

Trading Concepts emini program is a joke. Does not work and their “trading room” service is a complete fraud. If I had followed this “expert” (Todd Mitchell) I would have lost a fortune. Then when I called him he said “Jared Putnam” is the guy who does the room and he “personally trained him”. If he trained him on how to LOSE money he did a wonderful job. This guy does NOT trading for a living – he is a salesman and NOT a trader.
AVOID THIS COMPANY.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST
RUN DO NOT WALK, HE DOES NOT HONOR HIS GUARANTEE ( TODD MITCHELL)
THE PROGRAM IS A JOKED IT DOSENT WORK IS OUT DATED
HE DOES NOT TRADE.

The guy is a shister, at best. Loads of promises and no follow through. The “massive 250 page manual” is mostly really old, poorly reproduced charts. The production is so poor you can barely make them out. He promises a nightly update on the “membes only” portion of his website and he’ll get maybe a third of the month up.
When he does get a video up, it’s so obvious that he’s cherry picking a five year old could figure it out. The trading room is a bigger joke. The clown in there couldn’t trade his way out of the proverbial wet paper sack. Run, do not walk, away from these people.
Now I understand he’s working on a FX program to bilk more money out of more people.
