I've been in this class for 6 months as I am beginning my Learn Trading journey. Not only is it a great class to learn trading. I have found it so educational in life investing strategies. I am so thankful this trader came into my life and helped me to see life from a whole new prospective. Warning: He is a serious trader and it may be a minute to catch up. His patience, diligence and unique teaching style goes well above just making money. He truly shows he's interested in your success, as well as investing in future legacy initiatives. I highly recommend My Eastman classes.

Amazing

This man is an amazing human being. He does this because he cares about people and he wants to see lives changed. He's a God-centered man. I have been in his classes now for probably 6 months and he has changed my life so much and he has patience. Lots of patience So before any of these people give him a one star check out his classes. It does not take long to realize he's an amazing human. And he's a Christian.

I am writing in responseIn Support of CSA5Steps Academy and Clint Eastman: Setting the Standard in Financial Education to the recent…

I am writing in response to the recent skepticism surrounding CSA5Steps Academy and its founder, Clint Eastman. It is essential to address and correct misconceptions that may tarnish the reputation of an institution genuinely committed to enhancing the financial literacy and trading acumen of its community.

Firstly, it is imperative to recognize the comprehensive nature of the educational content provided by CSA5Steps Academy. Unlike many cookie-cutter courses prevalent in today’s financial education landscape, Clint Eastman’s curriculum is meticulously crafted with attention to detail. The academy delves deep into critical trading concepts, risk management strategies, and the psychological aspects of trading, which are often glossed over by others in the field.

Critics and bots that generate negative reviews often overlook the value of a supportive learning community. CSA5Steps Academy fosters an environment where students are not only recipients of knowledge but also active participants in a learning community that encourages discussion, debate, and mutual support. This interactive and engaging approach enhances learning outcomes and builds a network of knowledgeable traders.

Furthermore, Clint Eastman’s dedication to his students is evident in his consistent efforts to provide personalized guidance. His commitment goes beyond what is typically expected in the financial education arena. Clint does not merely "sell" education; he mentors, coaches, and supports his students, ensuring they apply their knowledge effectively and ethically in the financial markets.

Detractors who dismiss the importance of such dedicated educational endeavors may not fully understand the necessity of high-quality financial education in today’s complex financial world. Financial literacy is not merely a luxury but a fundamental requirement for making informed decisions in personal and professional financial contexts. CSA5Steps Academy and Clint Eastman are not just meeting this need—they are exceeding it, setting benchmarks for what comprehensive financial education should entail.

In light of these points, it becomes clear that CSA5Steps Academy and Clint Eastman represent a vital and necessary part of the financial education arena. They set a standard that others should strive to achieve. Before forming opinions based on negative reviews or skepticism, I urge critics to consider the genuine, positive impacts that Clint and his academy have on their students and the broader financial community.

Real review from an actual CSA student

I'm calling B.S.

I've been in Clint Eastman's CSA5Steps class for 2 months now and just stumbled upon these reviews... or should I say hit jobs.

Contrary to the other reviewers, my experience has been that the paid component of CSA5Steps is live mentoring sessions. They ARE very well structured.

There is NO secrecy and not only can we later watch a recording of the live training, in case we need to revisit something covered in class, but we can ALSO watch the previous recordings of the previous cycle of classes.

Clint Eastman DOES teach us how to trade and we consistently take 2 to 4 trades during each class (Gold and EURUSD being the most frequent since we trade the NY Open), from finding the trade, to analyzing the trade, to seeing the results of the trade, often before the end of class, as they are scalp trades. During class, in the Zoom Chat box, other students frequently report their profitable results when they execute on their own accounts the trades covered in class, including their prop firm accounts. We have yet to experience a losing trade during class, knock on wood. This class literally pays for itself.

Who is "James" in his review here and on forexpeacearmy under the name "IMLrattansa2018" and why does "Romford Trader" plagarize James' review 1 yr later? Are they all the same person, a competitor to Eastman perhaps?

How can they have "proven to be false" the claim that Clint Eastman was mentored by Tom Williams when their reviews were written in 2021 but Tom Williams died on Nov 7, 2016, which is 5 years BEFORE they wrote their review? Did they hold a spirit seance to verify with the deceased Tom Williams the supposedly "unsubstantiated" Clint Eastman mentorship claim?

Regarding their "investigation" that "revealed" Eastman to be a Walmart employee claiming benefits from the state, can they prove it is not a different person with the same name? An investigation (Google search) will also reveal that there are also several Clint Eastmans in the obituaries... does that mean the CSA5Steps Clint Eastman is conducting his Forex training from the Spirit World? No, of course not.

Their review is ridiculous and I'm calling their B.S. Clint Eastman has been an amazing mentor so far and a consummate professional. Fake negative review with half-truths and blatantly false claims are not cool.

And you don't have to take my word for it. You can verify third-party primary data yourself by looking at his profile on TradingView: tradingview dot com/u/Indmoney

It says he joined 6 years ago, has written 9 scripts (which we use during class), and has several hundred followers and several thousand boosts. Does that sound like a Walmart Employee claiming benefits from the state?

CSA5Steps Review

This is an education program run by a trader called Clint Eastman (DC Eastman). There is the Level I program, which is free, and introduces you to the world of Forex. The free component has some useful information (but nothing you can’t find elsewhere for free).
The paid component unfortunately lacks structure. Eastman does not teach you to trade, nor does he suggest trade ideas. There is a tremendous amount of secrecy with his course, and it is almost impossible to review previous recordings. Eastman makes you attest to secrecy, and you are not even allowed to discuss the strategy with anyone else.
On the downside, Eastman makes several unsubstantiated claims, many of which were proven to be false. Eastman claims to have managed billion-dollar funds for large investment companies. However, ALL licensed traders have a footprint, and there are no records of anyone by the name of Donald Clint Eastman ever being registered as a licensed professional trader. He claims to have been mentored by George Soros, and by Tom Williams (proven to be false), and also to have trained traders at Deutsche Bank and at Goldman Sachs (also false). He has also claimed to have worked for Tom Sossnoff (proven to be false). He also claimed to have owned a bank and owned a Forex brokerage, a claim that was recorded on video on 9th August 2019 in O’Fallon, Illinois, at a conference held by one of his students, Courtney Logan (who also runs his own trading program). In fact, investigations have revealed that Eastman was an employee of Walmart, and has been claiming benefits from the state. Eastman himself was a trainer with I Markets Academy (formerly I Markets Live), a company known for its aggressive Multi-Level-Marketing approach, and less well known for actual Forex education.

Deceptive Educator

This is a one-man show run by a trader called Clint Eastman. The free component introduces you to the world of Forex from a generalistic and fundamental basis, and is actually helpful for gaining a perspective on trading.
The paid component unfortunately lacks a structured curriculum, and one has to attend every session to learn something new. Many of the sessions are repetitive, and the material can be found on other sites such as BabyPips. There is a tremendous amount of secrecy with his course, and it is almost impossible to review previous recordings, as these are not listed. Eastman does not teach you to trade, nor does he suggest trade ideas. However, he can provide explanations to the market movement.
On the downside, Eastman makes several unsubstantiated claims, many of which were proven to be false by direct communication (letters and e-mail). Eastman claims to have managed billion-dollar funds for large investment companies. However, ALL licensed traders have a footprint, and there are no records of anyone by the name of Clint Donald Eastman ever being registered as a licensed professional trader. He claims to have been mentored by George Soros, and by Tom Williams (proven to be false), and also to have trained traders at Deutsche Bank. He has also claimed to have worked for Tom Sossnoff (proven to be false), and owned a bank and a Forex brokerage (a claim that was recorded on video on 9th August 2019 in O’Fallon, Illinois, and subsequently proven to be untrue). In fact, investigations have revealed that he was in fact an employee of Walmart, and may have lost his leg in a trucking accident (he previously claimed to have lost his leg in an aircraft accident). Eastman himself was an educator with I Markets Academy (I-Markets Live, renamed to I-Markets Mastery), a company known for its aggressive pyramid-like Multi-Level-Marketing approach, and less well known for actual Forex education. In his course, Eastman uses a similar approach, and encourages students to bring in other students via a direct approach.
Far worse, throughout his course, Eastman has been promoting crypto investments such as ‘Mirror Trading International’, Forsage, QuibiTech and Make Wealth Real, all of which have been exposed as scams. Unfortunately, several of his student investors in these schemes have lost substantial sums of money.
