TDG has helped me towards becoming a profitable trader

I have struggled for years to become a profitable trader. I began trading prop accounts a few months ago and began trading the NQ and ES. It felt as if I was taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back the next couple days. Since working with TDG, I have begun trading micro indexes. My confidence is back in my trading and am quickly becoming more consistent with smaller down days and bigger up days.
Thanks Rod and Dan!

Do yourself a favor...

Imagine stepping into a boxing ring with a professional boxer because you watched a few videos on how to throw a jab on Youtube.

Dumb!

But as a futures trader, that is EXACTLY what you're doing.

You're trading against some of the smartest and most experienced traders in the world. If you don't develop the necessary trading skills to compete, you will take a beating.

So do yourself a favor and don't approach futures trading like an amateur when you're engaging in a professional sport.

Be honest with yourself and understand the fundamental building blocks necessary for your success...

You need someone you can model success after...

You need an easy-to-understand trading strategy with edge (positive expectancy) …

You absolutely need a good coach in your corner...

You also need a community of like-minded traders who actually provide real support to one another.

As a trader AND as a teacher (hard to find), Rod really does commit to the skill of trading. He shows you exactly what he's doing it, when he's doing, and explains the logic. (He does it fast so you need to keep up!)

He has a sense of humor, he's responsive to questions (even while he's trading), he's transparent...and he does it all without any angst.

The TDG culture culture is helpful, responsive, and geared toward longevity.

I spent years spending money and losing money. In retrospect, I now realize I was never anywhere close to being successful as a trader because I didn't have the right people in my corner. I do now. Thanks TDG!

TDG is awesome!!

TDG is awesome!! Rod is one of the most knowledgeable traders I've come across. His Daily Risk Budget mantra is a really good way to trade. TDG is a great community with a lot of great traders who are a chill and supportive. Brad and Steve are top community support folks on the TDG team. While the TDG strategies are great frameworks on their own the TDG community has a LOT of ongoing value. I will recommend TDG to anyone I can.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 week trial…

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 week trial with Rod and the trade room. It is a great path for new and old traders to focus on one trading method. The "Jewel" of the experience though is the mantras of reasonable expectations, reasonable size, and reasonable daily loss limit (risk budget). If you are able to sign up this is a very valuable training ground.

The BEST!!!

I have been trading for years. This group is the best one hands down. Cuts through the nonsense and keeps it "real" with risk and emotion control. I would highly highly recommend them. Best bang for the buck..hands down!!!

If you're looking to pass prop programs…

If you're looking to pass prop programs and garner the correct expectations and insight into making daily income with futures trading, I don't believe anything is better than what TDG offers. The program pays for itself immediately. I've struggled with prop programs for a long while, but have finally been able to succeed with Rod's method of risk management and his high-probability strategies. It's not without effort, though - he and the rest of us traders are in the room every day, analysing the markets and trading appropriate size and abiding by our risk parameters - with no exceptions. It's slow and steady, but the most successful path forward that I've been part of, thus far. Rod's always very receptive and there to answer questions. He demonstrates on stream how many prop programs he passes (It's a lot). It's a very comfortable and reassuring environment. Can't recommend enough.

Personal Performance = Positive Percentages

Trading is a performance sport, mixed with mental athletics and emotional archery. By this I mean if you are expecting to perform in the Olympics, you only get there with a STRONG body, mind and spirit. Having blown over 30 accounts, I now know thanks to Rod, the TDG Way, and a community of global professionals reaching for the same goals, how to not only win at trading Prop futures accounts, but how to maintain grace, seek excellence, and turn the market into my own personal dream machine. However you get there, a master coach is not only how to win, but how to stay solvent, contained, focused, and above all calm and happy to be alive. Come join us in the TDG discord and learn to get out of your own way to becoming a consistently profitable market technician!

Rod shows how to pass evaluation accounts

Rod demonstrates exceptional skill in handling Prop evaluation accounts, proving that micro instruments can pass evaluations and generate substantial income. I have never witnessed him blowing a prop account.

Rod's core trading strategy revolves around mean reversion, setting it apart from most other strategies taught elsewhere. Many other methods focus on trend trading, but choppy markets often lead to losses since the market spends most of its time in consolidation mode.

One area I would suggest emphasizing more frequently is when a strong trend emerges, and mean reversion proves ineffective. This marks the only time when his strategy incurs larger losses. Rod has previously advocated using a percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) as a stop loss during strong trends, especially when VWAP extremes may not be effective. He does advise flattening if you reach your daily loss limit, but it's crucial to stress this particular scenario of a strong trend."

A great investment, in time and money!

After having been a lifetime member for nearly one year, I can say that this has been the best investment (plus a lifetime license for NinjaTrader) that I have made. Rod educates you in his mean reversion strategy by videos and the trading room to be profitable. After gaining familiarity with his methods, it is no longer necessary to follow along in the trading room, although after one year, I still gain valuable insights and refinements to my education in trading by following the room. Plus, Rod is very entertaining and knowledgeable in a range of topics.

Unlike the majority of his trading room clients, who trade in the various prop programs, I self-capitalize, and his methods apply equally well, or better, to this.

I do not have any formal training or work experience in finance, but a mathematics background provides me with an appreciation of the charts provided by Rod. Online trading micros is also just plain fun and educational (even when those small losses occur), helping with mental acuity (especially in a retiree such as myself!). Another benefit is that Rod also provides one with life-balance perspective, so as not to get too obsessed with screen time watching those pretty charts and numbers.

Finally consistent

I have been trading options and futures for about 7 years before I learned of Rod. I had never been profitable. After a few months of learning and adapting to Rod's style of trading I took my first withdrawal of $10,000. When I finally realized that it's all about risk management, I have become extremely consistent. I recommend Tradersdevgroup to anyone who has struggled in the past. This style of trading is super simple and low stress. Please do yourself a favor and give Tradersdevgroup a try

Rod is a great teacher. I have been trying to learn the trading from many teacher and none of them were as good as ROD and most of them were fraud after your money.

Wish I found Rod and his group sooner!

I have been a ridiculous number of trading / education groups. Most, little did I know ow were run bu folks who got lucky during the pandemic and all of a sudden became a "g.o.a.t." in the markets.

One day it clicked to seek out educators who have been in the industry at minimum 5 years but over 10 was preferable.

I stumbled across Rod on youtube, and as a trial member I learned more about BEing a consistent profitable trader than in the years and 1000's spent previously.
He has a good sense of humour, gives us REAL info about markets that his decades of experience have made him privy to.
Oh did I mention he has a free futures course? It's unlike anything else I've seen in the many discords I was apart of.
Currently saving my money to make joining his group the last investment in my futures learning trajectory....not gonna lie it kinda sucks the lifetime membership is coming to an end, however, I 100% trust that even the annual will be worth it year after year. After all, trading correctly and profitably will easily take care of that annual fee.
