After now being a full-time day trader and investor for over 8 years, I decided to create these courses here on Udemy in the hopes that new traders will be able to avoid the same mistakes that I made when I first got started trading and will be able to achieve the financial freedom that comes with it in a much shorter period of time than it took me!
My courses are designed to benefit both brand new traders with no prior experience and even traders with years of practice. I start from the basics in my courses and gradually get more advanced in each lecture. Every lesson is followed by a short multiple-choice quiz to ensure that the student understands what was taught in the previous lesson!

I was looking for a beginners course to familiarize myself both with the stock terminologies and the business of day trading - I definitely gained that from this course. The information is explained in a clear way and I have a much better understanding of how stocks and trading works. I have also gained a beginners understanding of how to do a technical analysis of the charts, but this will take more explanation, practice and possibly another more detailed course to fully grasp. Overall, I'm pleased with the course. Thank you.

A great introduction to day trading. Well presented instructions on how to read charts and identify good opportunities. Has also helped to identify some areas where I need more instruction and practise before I'm ready to start risking 'real' money. Thank you Travis.

I'm still at the beginning number 7. There's a lot of clarity, the Teacher makes it easy to understand. I'm looking forward to sitting myself up with paper bidding after this course, to practice implementing what he's teaching. Thank you.

Within only 2.5hrs of content, concise easy to follow and in depth information is provided. I am a beginner, and the content was delivered in a way that translates what felt like a foreign language into really grounded understanding. Outside of practicing for a while on paper trade, I'm walking away feeling confident to get started. Great course!
By Ashok Kemparuvaiah on 8/13/2021
The course has a lot of valuable information, which is helpful to beginners and even experienced traders who are trading by skill and have not paid much attention to technicalities. However, one feedback about this course is nothing about the content but the grammar! There were several places it felt like there was not quality/proof reading done before this course was published. Some questions were ambiguous and created confusion about the topic. Nonetheless, the course was clearly what a beginner needs before they start taking risks trading. Also, the narrators pace is optimum considering the technicalities involved in the topic and also as most might not have financial education to immediately catch the jargons.. Overall, it is a Thumbs-up to the course!
By James Abreu on 3/26/2021
It was very informative and topics were clearly and easily explained. In my opinion, the only thing missing or preventing a 5 star rating was when discussing trading platforms such as TD Ameritrade's "Think or Swim", I was unsure where to locate the amount of shares owned of any specific stock, at any given time, once purchased within the platform. Buying or selling/shorting, however, was extremely easy to understand and I feel very confident in the trading knowledge I learned from this course.
By Chris Barley on 2/16/2021
A good introduction of the very very basics, Don't expect lots of detail, it really is for beginners. Tailored to the US people more so than the UK people, but the basics are the same regardless. A good course to taken, then go away and google each top and read/watch more in depth content on youtube or something.
By Farzad Slamdien on 11/15/2020
very detailed and useful content for complete beginners

Easy and simple explanation
By Daniel Sunderland on 11/8/2020
This is a great coarse for a beginner. In the short time it took me to complete this coarse I feel I have a much better understanding of how day trading works.
By Carlos Roberto da Silva on 11/2/2020
Although the course discusses Day Trading terms, analysis, strategies, and tools; it doesn't explain how to open a broker account or even how international traders can operate on the US market, which supposes to be basic knowledge, in my point of view. However, the speaker shows confidence and security while explaining everything, his dynamics makes it be smoothly to understand.
By Syed Faraz on 10/25/2020
Good explanation, very easy and simple way of teaching. Appreciate it really!
