Satisfied customer for many years.

I have been a member of BCT, and a participant in Thomas' room for many years. I am always learning new things, and as a part-time trader who works full-time, I rely heavily on the observations of Thomas to make successful trades each and every week. I have tried many other similar services and have found none even close to BCT. Their customer service support is second to none in any industry.

Trading with Professional Coaches.

Trading with Basecamp Trading is a full throated trading experience. Thomas and Dave give all of themselves to a positive outcome, and I think that is felt by all members that have been there for sometime. I tend to lean in Thomas's direction only because he trades on a variety of stocks that provide the best opportunities that day. Dave is really into the SPX trade which is great for the folks that want and can afford to trade a $5000 index. Not all people can do that. Thomas's room is much more affordable. I just which Thomas would stop playing the drums on his desk.

Base Camp Trading Insturctors are Real Live Traders

Base Camp Trading instructors are tried and true market option traders with explicit insturction to get in and get out of trades. Although it can be used for a green novice, it is most helpful if some framiliarity with options is already used as effective use of the trading strategy will come with great success.

I was so gungho to dive in and learn it all... in a day. Came to the realization I was in over my head so emailed BCT support and in the conversation they lined me out to start at a level that I could understand and build from. Now I am learning the correct way to approch trading with outstanding instruction. I can not thank them enough for putting me on a path to learn and saved me from getting frustrated and quitting.

Thank You BCT
I wish I had found your site much earlier. My experience with BCT are the courses, the teaching and their interest in you understanding and comprehending what is being taught. The choices of strategies that's being taught allows you to choose to trade with. BCT values your interest and understanding what they have to offer. They always stress disciplined trading in their teachings.

11 Hr

11 Hr. Options
I started looking at the 11 Hr. option strategy that I was attracted to in August 23. I joined as a premium member. I listened to Dave comment in his 11hr. webinar that, we don't buy options, we sell them, and I was hooked. I started joining the trading room to listen and learn. I have taken the 11 hr. option workshops.

I started, as Dave suggested, Paper Trading 11 hr. options. My first 11 hr. defense with DNO defense was scary and not successful. On Aug. 28, 2023, I started down $6000 in my SPX 11 hr. Option Acct.
Since the 28th I have defended all the 11 hr. (11)
successfully with now over $20,000 in the account.
My current win rate on the 11 Hr. trades is 95%

I have started trading Matrix trades (6 complete) running with a 100% win rate at the moment with no defense required yet. My plan is to go real money maybe next week, starting slow as before.

Lastly, I am ecstatic on my success with my membership in Base Camp Trading. I have had 10-star service with all the questions, follow-up, and quick response to service-related issues.
Dave, John and Thomas are masterful in their webinars, in their Trade rooms and the workshops are terrific. If you follow what they teach, you will be successful! My experience with Base Camp Trading has been a life changing event, and I am so pleased to be a member that will be around a long time.

THANK YOU EVERYONE AT BASE CAMP TRADING
Best Regards,

Best Investment Any Trader can make in themselves

I started trading options in 2004 and stopped in 2007. Over the years I spent over $30,000 on trading courses and seminars.

About 30 days ago, I started trading options again and wanted to refresh my trading skills. After a false start with another site and feeling rather frustrated, I stumbled upon Base Camp Trading and thought, wow, these guys are the real deal.

They have top notch training videos:

-> I learned more about proper support and resistance lines to take unnecessary noise out of my charts, I am extremely grateful to finally understand which pivot points matter and which ones to ignore.

-> I have a better understanding of identifying market trends as they are extremely well explained. BCT makes it very clear when I should be trading and when I should sit on the sidelines.

-> BCT teaches very specific trades and setups which allow me to specialize and build the skills to generate consistent income.

-> I am more confident knowing I'm taking high probability trades. This is now a requirement for my trading plan.

Some other really cool things:

-> BCT provides live trading rooms for both Options and Futures Traders with seasoned veterans who calmly explain what's going on in the markets every morning. Their trading rooms are awesome! So far, I am only trading options, however, I'm really impressed with their real-world experience in the markets they each support. It is fantastic to have a place where I can ask questions.

-> As a member, BCT provides me with a weekly setup for the 11-hour Option Trade and the Matrix Trade allowing me to learn how to place and manage these trades.

-> In addition to helping me build a stronger trading foundation, BCT also provides powerful indicators that bring even greater confidence to my trading - I can use them on several popular trading platforms (I use thinkorswim).

BCT is an excellent investment in educating yourself to generate consistent income from the markets. In my first week with BCT, I wiped out losses I generated from my first 3 weeks back at trading and am now on my way to making consistent income.

I give Base Camp Trading five stars!

Great trading experience with Dave, John and Thomas

Dave and John are very patient and take time to read our questions and explain it in a clear and succinct manner. Both are very knowledgeable and their explanations depict the experience they have with trading.
I mostly attend Dave's room and have attended Thomas's room a few times. Since i trade options and stocks, i feel more comfortable in Dave's room. Although Thomas's explanations are also really amazing.

Wish these trading rooms were full day :)

Very trustworthy company

Very trustworthy company. They stand behind their 30 day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. I purchased several of their workshops which are great and really work. I got one reimbursed because I'm not ready for that yet. Dave Aquino really takes it to heart that we learn properly and succeed, you never feel alone, he explains everything clearly. Thank you Dave and Base Camp Trading!
