Hey there Joe Schmidt,
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for taking the time to look through our brochure!
We understand that a 2-year duration can feel long, especially compared to short courses or bootcamps.
The length of our program is intentional: it is structured to mirror how professional traders are trained inside banks, funds, and institutional environments. Developing a robust trading process, deep multi-asset knowledge, risk discipline, and psychological resilience simply takes time, practice, feedback, and iteration. Compressing that into a single year would compromise the depth, coaching, live market experience, and individualized strategy development that make the transformation possible.
Moreover, we designed the program to be part-time, flexible, and compatible with work schedules, so students can apply what they learn in real time and mature their strategy under guidance across different market conditions. This long-arc learning model is one of the reasons intermediate traders see the greatest result - it creates genuine, lasting evolution rather than a short-term boost.
We’re glad to hear that, as an intermediate trader, you can see the potential value in the program. We hope the clear benefits of a more profound and applied learning experience make the two-year investment worthwhile for you.
Warm regards,
The ITI Team
