Expectation versus reality
Just my experience, it was heavily marketed with a few phone calls (prior to that emails all the time) interviewing me and exploiting my interest in trading. I was told I would get Unger's codes, in fact they were student codes. I was oversold on how it would solve my trading issues, vastly undersold on how it's a programming course. I'm not the type looking for a short cut by any means, but I didn't expect that I would have to learn how to code to get this done. The support is decent, but being from the US expect it to be at odd times and they have heavy accents. It's basically hit and run support. I'd be willing to up my review if they reopened my training. I gave up since I could no longer login to the platform. Pretty weak in my opinion after spending $5000 on this. I think for $5000 they should have someone get you up to speed on the platform show you how to use the student codes first, versus throw 10 books at you and a t-shirt. For some that are very into programming versus trading it may be a better fit.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
First, we'd like to clarify that we previously tried to ask for your account details connected to the training program, but we haven't received any response.
Without your account details, we cannot be certain that your comments are based on an actual experience within our program.
This information is crucial for us to verify your experience and provide more personalized support.
Your account is available for life, meaning you can resume your studies anytime you wish, and we're always here to help with any questions or concerns along the way.
The path to becoming a systematic trader does indeed require acquiring some basic programming skills, which are essential to building your own trading systems.
However, we offer a variety of tools and pre-written open-source codes along with instructions on how to use them.
That said, we always recommend gaining at least a foundational understanding to operate effectively and reduce risks.
Additionally, we provide an 8-week dedicated coach to guide you through using the essential tools and help you go live within two months.
Since we don't have your account details, we cannot verify whether you received this service. If you did, it's important to contact us so we can understand any challenges you're facing.
