Why Detroit Pistons are bringing local rappers and influencers to home games
Omari Sankofa II
Last season, Detroit Pistons games doubled as a gathering place for local celebrities and influencers.
Sada Baby, Icewear Vezzo and Courtney Bell performed at halftime of separate games. Rap artists 42 Dugg, Tee Grizzly, Danny Brown could be seen at Little Caesars Arena. And local business owners were introduced on the Jumbotron during breaks.
A lot of fans missed out on the party, as the Pistons only hosted 750 fans due to pandemic restriction rules. There are no such restrictions this season, and the Pistons are planning to run it back, beginning Wednesday night for the season opener against the Bulls.
HOW HE GOT STARTED:How Cade Cunningham became can't miss player — aided by his brother & Larry Brown
"We Hustle Different" is the name of the Pistons' branding campaign this season, and it'll kick off with a halftime performance from local rappers Babyface Ray and Kash Doll on Wednesday. Like last season, the Pistons will sprinkle in performances from local musicians and spotlight local business owners and community leaders during games.
"It's always super important for us to be authentic to the city, to the fans, to the community," Pistons senior vice president marketing, Alicia Jeffreys, said. "And we do that by leaning into local artists and influencers. ... It's going to be good."
[ Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham to miss season opener with ankle sprain ]
Babyface Ray, whose real name is Marcellus Register, was namedropped by Cade Cunningham during his pre-draft media availability while listing Detroit rappers he enjoys. Register was initially unaware of Cunningham's shout-out, and said performing at halftime will be a dream come true.
Register will also make an appearance in a Pistons commercial. He joked that if he gets floor seats, he'll be the Pistons' version of Spike Lee and heckle opposing players.
"I was unaware, super unaware," Register said. "That's lit because like I say, I was a super basketball head. When I (realized) I wasn't going to the NBA, I used to always tell myself that I was going to go to college for sports medicine and stuff, just to be around basketball. For me to be played by the players, it's like I'm helping out in some type of way still."
The Pistons seemed to receive a strong reception for last season's efforts from the small home crowds. They're doubling down this year, and there could be some surprise big names at certain games.
[ The biggest factor in Pistons becoming a winning franchise again ]
"It was so good," Jeffreys said of the reception last season. "I think people realize that we were really being authentic to who we are and who the city is. So we got really good feedback last year. So we had to make sure we came back stronger this year with a better campaign."

Huge deficits will be omnipresent throughout President Obama's first term, complicating his administration's messaging efforts on the economy. But advisers separate the political repercussions from the actual underlying fiscal and monetary policies. In some ways, the short-term politics of the deficit are negligible. They're preferable to the short-term politics of a much higher unemployment rate with no economic growth -- and a smaller deficit.
What's more important, to the administration, at least, is the degree to which the deficit has an impact on market expectations and the behavior of market players. If the goal is to stimulate private sector job growth, how the market feels about deficits -- and to the degree that the deficits reduce the incentives for investment -- this is the site of the most important political interaction. More government spending, in the form of, say, a bailout of state and local governments or a second federal stimulus -- may not have enough support in Congress, but the private sector is where the White House believes that growth needs to come from -- the government has already provided a trillion dollars worth of stimulus. Having abandoned the concept of moral hazard to save the economy in 2009, the administration will use it to their advantage in 2010.
The White House believes that when Americans say they're worried about the deficit, they're motivated by a search for clues that the current administration is budgeting responsibly. The White House time horizon, remember, is focused on sustainable growth over the long term. The employment picture is terrible, but the continuing government transfer payments -- extensions of COBRA and unemployment insurance -- are militating against the social effects off mass unemployment.
Conservatives are going to run on deficits and spending because they can, and because those issues serve as proxies for a range of objections to the size and scope of government. The Obama administration is going to focus on slowly changing the fundamentals. There will be talk of real, across-the-board limits to discretionary spending. There will probably be a bipartisan deficit-reduction panel set up, along with, perhaps, another Social Security reform commission.
The Obama White House won't bail out state governments. Aside from small, precise interventions, like an extension of the homeowners' tax credit, business tax relief, and continual UI and COBRA extensions, the White House won't "do" much of anything to kickstart the economy in 2010.
At some point next year, the unemployment rate will start to come down. The deficit will remain high, but the administration is confident that a good vector for the rate along with visible economic growth will enhance consumer confidence and induce more spending. If consumers are spending -- if they sense that their personal incomes are rising --- they will be less amenable to Republican economic arguments.
Indeed, some GOP strategists are already counseling their clients not to shoot their wad on the economy, anticipating that it will recover enough.

Antioxidants Could Halt Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
by Medindia Content Team on August 10, 2006 at 10:25 AM Research News
Summertime is for hiking and camping, but it brings with it the risk of tick bites and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In order to prevent such illnesses, researchers are looking at the role played by antioxidants like alpha-lipoic acid and green tea and vitamins C and E in preventing infection by rickettsia bacteria.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Rochester Medical Center $2 million for a five-year study of the antioxidant theory. The grant caps more than a decade of rickettsia research led by Sanjeev Sahni, Ph.D.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the most frequently reported illness in the United States caused by the rickettsia bacteria, which is transmitted by tick parasites. It usually afflicts otherwise healthy adults and children who are bitten by wood ticks or dog ticks. The illness can become life threatening if left untreated, and spotted fever can be difficult for physicians to diagnose because the earliest signs mimic less-serious viral illnesses. Limiting exposure to ticks is the best way to prevent the disease. If it does develop, in most cases doctors can treat it with antibiotics. Typhus is another rickettsial disease spread by lice or fleas. Although less common, typhus remains a threat in crowded jails and in other poor hygienic environments.
"Our studies have the potential to identify novel therapeutic targets for a host of rickettsial diseases," said Sahni, an assistant professor in Hematology/Oncology at the University of Rochester.
Dr. Howard Taylor Ricketts, who eventually died of typhus, identified rickettsia in the late 1800s. Sahni's research group first began investigating the rickettsia bacteria as a model to study the biological changes that occur in the lining of the blood vessels (endothelium) as the bacteria travels through the blood stream. Initially they were looking at what types of cellular changes occur in response to the infection. They discovered that cells undergo oxidative stress and produce harmful free radicals, causing inflammation and other complications.
Researchers hypothesized that antioxidants might serve as useful therapies after examining the damage to infected cells, as seen by electron microscopy, and through biochemical evidence proving oxidative stress (OS), a term used to describe a level of damage in cells, tissue and organs. Antioxidants can generally neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. Earlier experiments in which scientists infected cells with rickettsia bacteria and then treated the cells with alpha-lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant, showed that the infected cells did, indeed, marshal a defense against the bacteria.
Sahni is also investigating what enzymes might boost antioxidants to work more efficiently. His group is studying the process that occurs when infected cells express cyclooxygenase (Cox-2) and prostaglandins, which results in inflammation. This biological process is what causes the severe swelling in the limb that was bitten by a tick harboring the rickettsia bacteria. Sahni theorizes that regulating the Cox-2 response with Cox-2 inhibitors such as ibuprofen could also help control the disease.

Bedara Kannappa is a 1954 Indian Kannada-language Hindu mythological film directed by H. L. N. Simha and written by G. V. Iyer. The film stars Rajkumar playing the title character along with Pandari Bai, Kushala Kumari, G. V. Iyer, Sandhya and Narasimharaju in other prominent roles. The film is an adaptation of a stage play by the Gubbi Veeranna Nataka Company, which was based on the folk tale of the hunter Kannappa who proves his extreme devotion to the Hindu God Shiva by gouging out both his eyes.

Bedara Kannappa started as a play produced by the Gubbi Veeranna Nataka Company before it became a Kannada film. The film rights of the play were later bought by A. V. Meiyappan of AVM Productions. The film's songs were composed by R. Sudarsanam, with lyrics written by S. Nanjappa. The cinematography of the film was handled by S. Maruthi Rao. In 1953, Singanalluru Puttaswamaiah Muthuraj, a dramatist with Gubbi Veeranna Nataka Company was spotted by director H. L. N. Simha, who was on the lookout for well-built, pleasant-faced man for the starring role in film. Simha eventually signed Muthuraj for the film and named him Rajkumar. Filming began in mid-1953 and took over two months to complete. This was the debut film of both Rajkumar and Narasimharaju as actors and of G.V. Iyer as a scriptwriter.

Bedara Kannappa was released on May 7, 1954 in Bangalore's Sagar and Shivaji theatres and New Opera theatre in Mysore to low expectations. The owners of New Opera theatre, thought that at best it would only run for two weeks. However, defying expectations; The film was critically and commercially successful, becoming the first Kannada film to have a direct run of 365 days.  The film was the inaugural recipient of the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Kannada, thereby becoming the first Kannada film to win a National Film Award. Following the film's success in Karnataka, it was dubbed into Tamil and released as Vedan Kannappa. Later, the film was remade in Telugu as Kalahasti Mahatyam also starring Rajkumar, in his only non-Kannada film appearance. The film was also remade in Hindi in 1955 by the same director-producer duo as Shiv Bhakta. It was again remade in Telugu in 1976 as Bhakta Kannappa.

Plot
Dinna (Rajkumar) and Neela (Pandharibai) are gods banished to earth where they are born to a tribe of hunters. They grow up and become involved with a corrupt temple priest who accuses Dinna of theft. Dinna weathers all the tests, including torture, the gods impose on him.

Cast

Soundtrack
The film's soundtrack was composed by R. Sudharsanam. The song Shivappa Kayo Tande (literally Shiva, protect me oh father) is very popular and is sung even today in orchestras.

Release and reception
When the film was ready, there were no distributors willing to pick it up. But thanks to the intervention of the chief minister of the state, S. Nijalingappa, they could release it through Karnataka Films. The owners of New Opera theatre in Mysore, where it ran for a 100 days, thought that at best it would run for two weeks. But they were in for a big shock when people from different parts of the state streamed in to watch the film. Among those who turned up for the first show at Mysore, was Rajkumar himself with his father.

Awards
 National Film Awards
2nd National Film Awards (1954) - Certificate of Merit for the Best Feature Film in Kannada

Legacy
The film is often regarded by critics as a landmark film in Kannada film history. The film also became the first Kannada film to gain national recognition as it became the first film to win the Certificate of Merit for the Best Feature Film in Kannada. The success of the film was reported to have spurred the pace of production of Kannada language films significantly. Bedara Kannappa acquired cult status in Kannada cinema and became a trendsetter for dialogues and acting for later Kannada films.

A very big thank you for giving us so many tools to work with. I love the channels and advanced price structure. I am no longer searching in the dark. Thank you for the light. You are amazing JJ. I wish I paid more attention on the the Advanced price structure videos earlier, Trigger Zones work on any time frame, on any market. Try it guys you will never be dissapointed.
I agree with you on that Pierre. the wedge strategy is almost like taking candy from well...'pit traders' lol. I would agree this is a valuable membership I am happy to be a part of.
Totally amazing. .and can't wait to see more important video and forecast for next day love to be a member of school of trade in my close future. ..many thanks for all your help and update. ..
I started at the beginning of October and I am seeing great results for my trading as well, excited to be here every day in the trade room with Joseph.
Anyone who wants to learn how to trade JUST follow JJ's PLAN!
Once you take the time to learn the plan - I can tell you all it works.
I have yet to come across an educator (and I,ve been al the way thru med school) who is more dedicated to teaching than JJ.
As a new member the only suggestion that I would make is that at least for me it would be better if you focused on up to 3 markets (2 would be better). Maybe you should try to have 1 day of the week where you only focus on 2 markets (for begginers). The rest could be more advanced.
I love the trade room as it puts the material in real time charts... And you do a good job explaining.
I have been a member for a while and I wanted to share my positive feedback on the new member's only trade room. It is a great place to be each trading day. Everyone in the room is trained and familiar with the SOT methods and it is a perfect progression to take my trading to the next level. Evan and all the members in the room are very supportive and helpful. Once again the SOT team continues to provide for their lifetime members.
Let me tell you that your courses are amazing, i have learned more in 1 month than my last three years searching for a good and profitable course that shows me the profitable way to trade in this markets.
I finally found these two things from SOT, and I set my life.
I wanted to see my mentor/teacher show me the real trading and teach me real life trading. I also wanted to see my mentor make real money because if he can make money I can make money too if I follow him. I am so happy to learn & earn money at the same time every day.
I can find most of the great ideas and theories from the internet.
I was looking for a mentor who can teach me how to build solid foundation. If I have strong foundation, I can build one/two/three.. bed room house depending on my preference as time goes on. I finally got that from SOT.
SOT rocks! As a new trader I have learned a tremendous amount in a short amount of time. I recovered my investment and now I am beginning to focus on the auto trader. If you are serious about trading you cannot go wrong with SOT.
I first got interested in trading after reading Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets in the 90's. I've read a lot of excellent authors on the subject of TA – Elder, Wilder, DeMark, etc. but It wasn't until I joined the School of Trade that I found specific and detailed methodologies that I could apply to my own trading.
Personally I'm fascinated by Technical Analysis, the social psychology of fear & greed and all that but one doesn't need a deep interest in or knowledge of TA in order to profit in the financial markets by using the methods taught by SOT.
When I first came across SOT's free website SidewaysMarkets.com I was amazed by all the free stuff Joe offers on the site. It wasn't difficult to figure out what he was using for trigger lines and target zones and such. Just applying the knowledge gained from watching the vids at SWM will increase the profits of a diligent trader. Too much free stuff Joe.
I was feeling that I should give the guy something for all the information I got at SWM. I've sure as heck spent a lot more for a lot less – and paid up front for it too so I plunked down the $100 for the beginner course. I was in the trial membership for 3 or 4 days when I realized that I had barely touched on all the material, information and knowledge available with full lifetime membership.
After joining the School of Trade I found that another real and continuing benefit to being a member is the dynamism of the whole operation. SOT is always improving. They are continually testing and making available to members new chart templates, indicators, trade plans and strategies and on and on. They're always looking for new ways to make all our trading more efficient and profitable.
Another productively valuable benefit I've found to SOT membership is the Members Trade Room. Though the MTR is on hiatus for now Jeffrey, Marty and other professional traders provided insights into specific market personality in order to predict the probable directional movement of price in real time. I guess that's a convoluted way of saying these guys are interesting and their comments are useful.
Everybody involved works (plays) to make trading profitable, interesting and fun. This is a comfortable place for all kinds of traders including an old school technical analyst like myself.
I am very happy with my membership to SchoolOfTrade, and I think Joseph is a great teacher. The key to my trading was just having a routine to follow every day. I have a great plan of action every day with JJ, and I've been making money each week since I started. This method is working for me.
I'm glad I joined School of Trade; I think JJ is a really good educator. I have been looking for consistency with a trade room. Ever since I came across JJ and his room, I consistently make money using his method. Thank you JJ!
JJ is an excellent teacher and trader. After watching him in the trial and practicing the strategies he talks about, I was so amazed how easy it is to make profits with his method. His trade room has been a great experience for me and I'm glad I joined . Thanks School of Trade!
I've spent too many monthly fees to other trade rooms and nothing came of it. Found School of Trade on youtube, took the trial and checked out the courses. It's pricey but worth it for a great trade room nicely put together materials.
Jay Jay and his team have made me a better trader with their training sessions. I now am making winning trades 85% of the time. That's a much better percentage than I was making before I joined.
I appreciate all you do JJ. Thanks for making trading fun and easy to learn. I wasn't sure where to go with the job market vanishing and after following you online, I got hyped to get started! Clearly you have to work hard and dedicate your time to becoming better at this. I'm like working from home and making money at my control.
I've never seen anything like this before, very impressed with your system and design. I looked through your strategies and the way you explain the fast track and ABCD. Feel like I should have been trading like that from the start. I really appreciate your hard work and all you do. This has really helped my trading career. Thanks!
thank you kindly for all your assistance. I enjoy very much your teachings in trade room each morning. You have a great attention of markets. I saw you prove method to us today in room and this why I happy I come join. You good person and very good teacher.
Mr. James you have been instrumental in helping me become a consistently successful trader. You're always on top of what's happening in the markets and you give real life examples that I can relate to and use in my trading decisions. Keep doing what you do best- teaching and motivating others!
My neighbor referred me to you and I couldn't believe my ears, when he told me the profit he was making on a daily basis using your method and education. I am always one to do some research before committing and I am really impressed by you guys. I watched a few videos on youtube and checked out your blog, the information is priceless. I can't wait to start my trial and see you in action.
To trade and teach at the same time is brilliant! JJ you are an inspiration, greatful for everything that you do. Followed your newsletter for 6 months and I was convinced this program was the right choice. A trade room needs to be more than just a room to make money in. The atmosphere is terrific and you are always able to get questions answered each session. Thanks JJ, keep it up!
Been watching JJ for a few months now and just really enjoy watching him go through his trades. He makes it seem so easy and backs it up with all the great information he gives out on his blog. I am very anxious to get started in a live account and JJ has helped me build confidence and patience needed to do so. You truly get the whole package with him and his program.
I like the way you explain your materials and trade strategies. You make it seem so easy to understand and that is key for me with my success in trading. Its been about 2 months and I have full faith in you, appreciate your efforts and I'm proud to say I'm on the track for 30 ticks a day!
As a relatively new member, I thought it would be ideal for me to share my expereicne thus far with SOT. Bottom line, what JJ offers and brings to the table every day cannot have a price tag on it. Too many programs before this one have thrown me through rollercoaster rides by lack of support, waste of time and scams.
Give it 10 days you are fully prepared and provided with all the materials necessary to make your trading very successful.
Your desire for helping others is what makes you successful and it shows through with your willingness to clarify concepts, strategies and the trades you take. Its great how you break down the trade management in words that practically anyone could understand and learn. I have gained a lot of confidence knowing I am getting all the information from you to help my trading career take off. You have a very valuable product and your team is so supportive.
I have to be honest because I've seen a lot of scams out there, but at first glance your trade results seemed doubtful. I was thinking that they were at the least made up like many of the other sites out there. Then after being in the chat room, taking your trial, getting to know you more, I have been able to confirm that your trading results are legit, but have also been able to replicate your profits almost on a consistent basis, im getting there.
Bottom line, I have been able to establish consistent profits in my trading plan, something I've been dying to achieve for over a year now. Thank you kindly JJ.
Joseph and his team is the best of the best compared to the others out there. I wish I had joined up earlier, but needed to weight out my options. Try the free trial that he has available, ask questions and i am sure that after a few days in, you'll see what I'm talking about.
Thank you JJ and team! I just went through the Fast Track method and I'm speechless!
Thanks guys for all your help! I was in my first webinar today with JJ and company, as a fresh trader in the market I was amazed at the quality of the trades they had. Not every one of them was a success, but that's ok, not every day is perfect but good profits. Even trading with 1 contract you would have easily made a very good profit for a friday. Looking foward to getting back to it on Monday!
Best trade room I've ever been in. I can't believe you're not getting the press on you yet JJ! I admire your passion and kind personality. You show young traders the right way to approach this industry and instill the confidence they need. Whats more amazing is your ability to teach us the ways and make unbelievable profits at the same time, without a flinch. We need someone like you in this trading world, not only to make us successful but to make us believe in ourselves. Thank you my friend.
I appreciate the time you take to help with answering questions and breaking down your trades. I am new to trading, but with your help, I feel I will be very successful. I've watched some of your videos and read your blog, you are very consistent and diligent. These are good qualities to have and I look forward to joining.
Appreciate your efforts and willingness to help us members through the seasons of trading. I remember the summer trading being so difficult, but you motivated us and kept us focused on the key points.
I really admire your way of trading and how you deliver your content. I jumped on that crude today and got me my 30 ticks, I'm getting there slowly but surely!
I love School of Trade! He's the best teacher I've had the pleasure of working with and his mentoring skills are a bonus. He blows out the competition and I'm surprised there is any. Very intense trade room, but worth every penny!
I've been a member for a while now and just wanted to put my two cents in. I'm not one for sharing, but since I've been on board, lot has happened. I've gained a great deal of knowledge thanks to your system. I've grown my trade account and consistently take winning trades. I appreciate your efforts and wish that every first time trader goes through your program first.
I did not try any other services other than sot. After being in the room for a week or so, I took the leap of faith and took the lifetime membership. I understand how commitment and success are connected now and how important that is to keep in mind. If you're not in it to win it then this may not work for you!
I know a good teacher when I see one and JJ is by far the best there is. He is very dedicated to his trading; he is motivated to help his members with their own success, and genuinely cares. In addition, he wants to keep learning and growing his own abilities and his websites services. I started trading for the money, now I am learning to trade for the challenge and character building and how JJ provides many upgrades for his members!
School of Trade has been one of the most influential aspects to my trading career, the other is my wife! This truly is an excellent system supported by a unique trader and wonderful staff. Joseph, the head trader, is not only a seasoned trader but also is personable, demonstrates patience like no other, and responsive. He trades on a live account, so it's very easy to follow along and make money. I recommend his Advanced course to every new trader.
I am new to the trading world and have been amazed at how well it works regardless of the number of contracts you take or the time frame you are trading. I found sot on google and was impressed with how their team will help put a plan together that works for your style, using their profitable methods. There was one day that I had an amazing start when crude oil went up 60 ticks in just a few hours!
I made my investment back on the adv course in just over 4 weeks. Thanks to JJ and his incredible sales guy, I am consistent with profits each day. I dont even trade Euro, or afternoon sessions anymore, just the US market.
I join the Live room last week and JJ was so careful to choose his entry points, review different markets, find the right support and resistance levels, it is like watching a child grow. When he found Gold Vol change to DEC, he is so accurate and systematic its unreal. He also proves his method works through various trades and a very detailed track record ( no surprise there). For this I decided to join his community.
School of Trade has massive amount of day trading resources on top of membership materials and daily webinars. JJ, clearly isn't just doing this just to make a buck, he seems to love what he does and it shows.
Really appreciate your guidance in helping me become a successful trader. The skype room chats are an excellent source of information that I look forward to each day. Getting to speak with you and the other members makes me feel like I'm a part of a community of like-minded investors is great motivation.
I just want to say thank you for your help! I been demo the entry trigger and has been helping give confidence in execution and good high reward/risk ratio.
The sound alert and visual colors really give me that confidence! I always believed in the moving average crosses but always had a hard time visualizing it and missing the entries!
Well, no questioning I am light years ahead of everyone else in my Stock Market class thanks to you. One of my Stock Market classmates finally got around to asking me "where do I find a trading coach?".
www.schooloftrade.com Please accept this disclaimer: A lot of what you hear from me is a bunch of hot air. I have not made that much money at all. I am taking my sweet time with this because I have a lot of bad habits and attitude adjustment to take care of before I can trust myself well enough to be disciplined with my trading. I have spent over 3 months developing an excel trading journal as the foundation of that effort. When you are trading, your BEST financial indicator is YOU. Poor journaling marks a lack of discipline that says " I am not responsible enough to run a business". If I am not responsible enough to run a business, I will never be a successful trader. Joseph James at schooloftrade is a great mentor! He is not perfect and is still quite young, but even if I do not succeed in the trading business, his couching has given me a renewed strength that will last throughout all my life's future achievements. If you want to learn how to have a winning attitude and a solid, holistic business plan for trading, whether you win or not, then schooloftrade.com is for you. If you want a trading education that requires no fee and little work or frustration for which the results are highly predictable, I wish you loads of luck. You will NEVER find it.
Hope you're having a great day, JJ !!!
My answer to the quiz is Natural Gas Storage (NG) on Thursdays at 10:30 AM EST for the market news event other than Crude Oil that only applies to 1 market.
Great work you are doing Joe. Thank you for putting so much hard work into the trade room and your daily technical analysis. The daily price levels are a great tool.
is THE benchmark among trading schools available today. I am going over all of the online lessons to ensure that I am not missing out on any required information. I hope to be trading real time with you within the next couple weeks.
Until then, all the best to you and the entire School of Trade team, you guys rock like a 119 Howitzer.
I'm really liking how these trading strategies are coming together. This plan makes it easy for me to watch/trade many markets at once. Besides CL, TF, 6E and GC I have YM, NQ, 6C and 6A set up on my trading computer so I can watch/trade those mkts too. This is really excellent.
If you read one of these...read this one!
Been trading for a long time. Joined websight after websight.
Bought indicators. Suffered through terrible frustrations. Maybe just like you.
This guy is the real deal. I've seen alot...Nothing like this! A seasoned trader knows when its just another guy making money off of a websight. This sight is where true knowledge is gained. If I would have come here first, there would have never been a need to go anywhere else.
Hello guys, I would like to share the experience of this past week since I joined the live trade room to trade alongside with JJ. I have learned a lot of trading techniques from him and constantly made profit everyday. It's a good experience because you will never be afraid compared to those times that you trade by yourself. The most important thing is that you will never be along. JJ and the whole SOT support team work with you to make you a successful trader.
And the thing I appreciate the most is that JJ keeps moving forwards and always finding something new and useful in progressing profitable trading techniques. In the meantime he always keeps an objective mind to accept other's opinion to make him better. I think as a trader, it's the biggest thing that we should learn from him. Because no one will be always right. Everybody needs to keep moving and learn something new.
It's the best decision I made this year to join SOT membership. If you are still finding something, just give yourself a try to the best choice.
I am a new member. In three weeks with SOT I've learned more than I have in years as a "self-taught" trader. It is a very good idea to invest in yourself and link up with a professional trader. SOT offers that opportunity. The idea of a daily routine sounds simple, but it's actually taught at SOT. You can pick up trading strategies on the internet for free, however, to watch a professional, in real-time, actually execute a trade, manage a trade, and generate profits... it just doesn't get any better. If you want to learn how to trade or if you want to improve your trading - sign up. It is absolutely worth it!
I've been on board with SOT for about a week now. I have finished the beginners course and I'm part way through the intermediate course. I'm really impressed with JJ's teaching methods and his no nonsense approach to day trading. His course is technically challenging, but it's reinforced in his live trading room and that's what makes SOT a home run IMHO.
Wanted to let you know John-Henry and I had a great Concierge Visit on Friday.
John-Henry is friendly, affable, enthusiastic, cooperative and fast. He is very polite.
He answered all my questions and certainly knows his business. He could do these set-ups in his sleep, and in my opinion is a great asset for the School of Trade.
John-Henry is one of the best techs I have worked with anywhere!
I enjoyed SOT few months for me has been a great learning experience, with a vast audio material, everything is easier and more practical, with the live room, can see the reality of a day trader job. step by step. in real-time, running a trade, managing and generating consistent gains. with a mechanical strategy, if you want to learn with a professional team, take a look.
JJ, Megan and John-Henry are the most incredible/dedicated/professional team and all their support/assistance has been impeccable! Joining SOT, as an Advanced Member, has been by far the best career decision I have ever made. The professional presentation of the LIVE trade room and all the training courses/videos are by far the best I've ever seen in the industry. I can't thank ya'll enough for everything!! It's been an incredible experience and I look forward to many years of successful trading.
Open Bell strategy... Auto Breakout Strategy..
I am impressed with the results, I recommend you look at this more closely.
First Day of Trade with JJ. $575 wining in my pocket, which I considered it as a gift for my Birthday today. Thank you so much.
I would like to say thank you to the SOT team for knowledge and support I've had, I've had a significant percentage gains in my trades.
I have been watching sidewaysmarkets.com for over 3 years now. I have been impressed with the info there.
Recently I began communicating more with Joseph about an advanced membership at SchoolOfTrade. Again I am impressed with JJ's personality, candor, and authenticity. Today I enrolled as an advanced member of SchoolOfTrade.
I will make sure to post some updates to my progress and results at later dates.
I have been trying to become a professional trader for a very long time. Your trade room is the closest thing to the "Holy Grail" for traders that I have ever seen. Thank you.
I have come across a few traders in my day. In each case I found them to be closed. The thing i respect most about School of Trade is that you make your position very clear: We will teach you how to trade and you will pay for it. Fair exchange is no robbery. I have been to college. It cost money to learn information that you can use to build a career. This is no different.
The level of teaching in the trade room is simply unmatched. Not just online. I challenge anyone to find a place where a regular person can walk in and learn how to build a career that will lead to financial independence, without being a top-level college graduate. I am grateful that the School of Trade is available. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you Tony for your honest feedback about our membership! The sky is the limit from here!
School of Trade is the place to be if you want to learn how to become a profitable trader. Thats the easy way to describe SOT.
The awesome thing about SOT and JJ is that he will teach you everything you need. How to find the patterns, how to trade them and when to take profit. He will teach you a ton of patterns, they are all great, but they may not work for you all of them. I personally trade 4-5 of JJ´s patterns, but thats the ones that works for me.
Its not about how many trades you take in a day, its about how many of them you really make money of. Other gurus can teach a couple of patterns that works for them. But JJ will teach you everything, and will answer any questions you might have.
I have a lot of respect for his work, and i can only recommend School of Trade!!!
schooloftrade.com is an excellent resource for me. I wanted to learn to trade future and found the education to be excellent and very thorough. the membership includes all the information you need to set up your charts and trade with them in their live trading room each day.
I have made profits almost every day I attended the trade room, and have made a substantial portion of my investment back already. I am very happy to be a member of schooloftrade.com.
I would certainly recommend this website and trade room to someone who needs to learn day trading futures, and is looking for a trade room with profitable trading calls. -S.A.
Ive been in and around the markets for over 25 years and I think i have seen pretty much every trade room on the planet. my son asked me to check these guys out and i must admit they do an incredible job with such a complicated topic.
i was in the trade room today watching them trade NFP and they walk everyone through all the steps for each trade, was impressive, and they went 4 for 5 on one of the hardest days of the month...first friday.
the trade room is very good, it may be the best on the web. they make it very easy to learn while you are there and the strategies are very simple to understand. what i liked most was the attention to risk/reward which you dont see very often in these trading rooms. they call trades, most of them are winners, and they dont risk a lot so it is a perfect place for my son to start his career.
i think these guys are the perfect combination of education and trading because if you are NEW to trading you need to learn the basics first, watch your risk, and they do an excellent job with that.
If you are just starting trading I would say please, please... you have come to right place. Give it a try ! Fantastic team, fantastic live trading and exhaustive learning resource. As has been confessed by so many members earlier... the practicality of School of Trade in these days and time when there are tons of place n resources is just beyond comparison. Having searched for a such a place for last 2 years, I am glad my search has ended by becoming a member of School of Trade.
Great work JJ, Megan & John !! Kudos to the team !!
These guys are REAL Traders!!
I've been in and around the markets for 3 decades and I have seen it all when it comes to education and trade rooms, but a close trading friend of mine told me he was having success with the price action trading at schooloftrade.com so i decided to give it a try as well.
I must say, i was very suprised to see how professional the entire system is. the website works easily, the video materials are extremely good as JJ is one of the best teachers i have ever seen. the way that JJ teaches in these videos i was able to learn all the patterns in a short time, and he provides all the supporting docs that go with each video... a very good job they did with this learning material.
i found the support system at SOT to be very good as well. they connected to my computer and set-up the charts and the indicators so I was ready to go in the trade room, and john-henry was an absolute pleasure to work with as i had some issues with the initial download of ninja trader but he took care of it quickly for me. very happy.
in my opinion, the trade room is one of the best i have ever seen. JJ does a great job at calling trades, but what was VERY important to me was that he also discussed WHY he was taking each trade, and when he did NOT want to trade. For me, this was worth the price of membership alone because most trade rooms only trade or they only educate... it is very rare to learn from someone who can do both. i was very impressed with the trade room overall and the results have been very good.
if you have the money, and a few weeks of time to learn the materials, this is by far the best option for a new trader in my opinion. I will be referring a friend as well.
trade room is very good, they trade the exact same strategy they teach, which has been the biggest problem in other rooms. most moderators dont trade the exact same way they teach. JJ trades exactly the same way he teaches in the video materials, makes it very easy for me, and im sure for others as well.
support was very good. set-up was easy, downloading indicators was easy, all of it was quite simple. they connected to my computer and setup the system for me, very easy, and i am very pleased with all of it.
I made money the first week in simulation (per JJs trade calls) and this last week my 2nd week i made back 1/2 my investment... consider me VERY happy with this result.
havent used the automated system yet, but very curious. I want to learn the scalping and waves first, they have been easy to earn with so i will focus on that first.
overall i am quite pleased with my membership to schooloftrade. the team is very easy to work with, the software is some of the best i have used, and I love the fact that they trade the same stuff in the room that they teach... and it is making me money.
I have been successful with the methods they teach at school of trade, and I would recommend the service to anyone who wants a professional-level education and a trading room that trades exactly what they teach.
I am very passionate about the success I have had with JJ and SOT, and I would like to share my experience with you.
In my opinion, if you're looking for trade calls you deserve to lose all your money, and the attitude that you want someone else to do the trading for you is what I see most new traders doing wrong... they never spend the time to learn it for themselves, and then they blame the teacher. I dont know how JJ and other educators put up with such laziness from their students.
JJ will teach you the business from A to Z. His beginner course is exactly what a new traders need IMO to have a strong understanding of the industry and how professionals do it. IMO, the beginner course of his website is worth $25k to a new trader bc most newbies will lose more than that simply because they dont know what the hell they are doing. The stuff in the beginner course taught me how professionals look at the market, and that was HUGE for my understanding later in the process.
The patterns in the intermediate course are excellent, and they cover all the areas of trading that you need to know. breakouts, continuations, and reversals... that covers all of it. If you learn those patterns and you wait for the correct entry and exit points you are going to make money. It took me about a week to learn and master the patterns, and once I learned them my trading improved overnight.
The trade room is exactly what you need in a trade room. They trade the exact same strategies you learn in the course materials, which is all that matters to me. I need to learn by watching a pro apply the strategy in real-time, and that is exactly what I get from SOT and that is what has made me successful.
In my opinion, SOT worked for me because they taught me the business of trading, the patterns to look for, and then they showed me in real-time how to find the patterns and make money with them in the trade room. That is EXACTLY what I needed to find success, and I know anyone else who invests the time and energy to learn them will also have great results as well.
I hope my feedback helps, and a big thanks to JJ, Megan, and JH for helping me get on track.
This experience has been awesome with the team at school of trade!!!
i just took money out of our my account for the first time in my entire trading career... damn that feels GOOD!
im loving the scalping strategy reading pure price action and i know where the markets are going and how to make a profit from them thanks to JJ and the crew.
i am so excited for trading every day, this is the best job in the world!
cannot thank everyone at SOT enough for helping me get started. the education was excellent, the concierge set up was exactly what I need to make it easy to start trading with you guys, and the trade room has been insanely profitable for me!
i have been working at this for almost 10 years and this is the first time i have confidence getting in and out of trades, and next month i will be taking profits from my account for the first time in my career.... so excited for the future!
JJ, Megan, John-Henry, and everyone in the chat room, THANK YOU ALL for giving me that ticket to freedom!
JJ, youre an inspiration to all of us every day in the trade room and i personnaly cant thank you enough for sharing your passion and determination to help us new traders every day. I have made more money in the last 3 months with you than in my entire 10 years trying to do this on my own... i just cant believe i wasted all that time looking at the market in the wrong way. live and learn, as you always say!
my first 2 weeks in the trade room and training classes were a big success. I am so happy i pulled the trigger and start learning to become a trader.
i really enjoyed the chat room this week, i was amazed how many great traders are in this group, and all of them are SO helpful to newbies like me. THis is truly the best choice i have made so far in my career, so excited right now.
I made 1500 this week with breakouts on the e-minis, and this weekend I am going to learn the wave pattern so i can shadow-trade more with JJ next week.
see you all in vegas at the next summit, you know i wouldnt miss that!
The education has been phenomenal, the trade room is focused, motivating, teaches me more every day, and it is very easy to take trades alongside JJ when he calls the trades. Overall, I am very happy I joined school of trade and i would refer anyone who wants to learn day trading from a professional.
JJ is a professional, honest, hard-working, and motivating teacher, and it has been a pleasure working with him every day in the trading room. His website video course is the best I have ever seen, professional-grade production, and supporting documents make it very easy to apply in the trading room in real-time.
overall, i dont think there is a better place to learn day trading on the internet than with JJ, JH, Megan, and the entire group in the SOT community.
This was the best investment I have made in time and money in a very long time.
Im sadly not a member yet, but will be in the near future if I can afford it (still a student). Although, I have watched every youtube clip, newsletter, recorded trade rooms and took the free trial.
Yesterday, I watched his recorded trade room and JJ advised to buy the lows and even gave a big resistance level. With his newsletter, this morning I was able to execute exactly what he had predicted! It was insane, the market was moving exactly like he has predicted the night before. I was able to make good money thanks to JJ.
Thanks for another amazing week in the live trade room! I have made my weekly goal now 5 weeks in a row!! this is awesome!!
school of trade is the best trade school and trading room on the planet! JJ and john henry work hard for us every day and i love being a member of the group. thanks guys!
These guys have great education, the support is awesome, and the trade room is the best I have ever seen on the internet. great work JJ and JH thank you so much for helping me get profitable on my account!
thank you JJ!! I have been hitting my daily goal for over 6 weeks and I couldnt have done this without your help. Per the trading plan, I added 1 more contract in July and having a blast every step of the way. Thanks for all the hard work you demonstrate every day in the trade room!
thanks JJ! I had the best week of my trading career with you in the trade room this week... Ive more than doubled my account since the beginning of June, this is insane! words cant express my appreciation for helping me achieve the freedom I have always been trying to achieve in my day trading. you got me excited for next week and beyond!
I finally found a home at SchoolOfTrade, you guys are awesome, the trade room and chat room are exactly what I need to learn more every day and earn profit while I am learning. I wish they taught this stuff at the university, priceless information for a newbie like me, thank you!
As a new member of School of Trade I have been very pleased with the help I have received in getting started. Megan, the head of sales, has been very informative and responsive both on the phone and in her emails. Her response time is very impressive. If you have a chance for John Henry, who is charge of support, to help you with computer issues I am sure it will be a great experience. He just helped me set up my computer today and I couldn't be happier.
JJ, I am blessed to have found the school of trade, thank you for all of your help from the bottom of my heart.
My husband and I have been following your trading advice in your trading room and have already made over $6,200 USD to recover the cost of becoming a member in less than 1 month's time. This is nothing short of a miracle, and we are very thankful to have found school of trade on youtube.
Please express my gratitude to your wife, Megan for assisting me in getting started. Have a wonderful weekend, and I am excited to trade with you again next week!
Wonderful effort and profits in the trade room on NFP news. Mr James called the trades perfectly in his nightly video and also in his trading room and we all scored a wonderful profit for the day and for the week. my friends and I are very impressed with the service and trading at SOT. Happy weekend for all!
I never remember that I have been asked to pay any USD extra.. or hidden fees or an offer to buy an indicator or to attend a room !!
Thank you Joseph, thank you John..
I started trading around two years ago and managed to blow up three accounts in that time. I lost 30% of my current account in the last two months and was in a seriously dark place.
I had known about SOT for about a year and had been watching the nightly newsletter and daily trading videos. How hard could it be to trade like John-Henry? Easy, right? I don't need help, right? WRONG.
I knew just enough about trading to be extremely accurate... at losing. I've been a School Of Trade advanced member for three weeks now, and I am seriously loving every second of it. The light bulb moments are happening multiple times a day, my equity curve doesn't look like a world record slide anymore, and I'm actually laying awake at night looking forward to the next trading day.
SOT is custom built for someone who has never touched a computer, all the way up to someone who has been trading for years. Both JJ and John-Henry are extremely professional, passionate, and helpful. I don't know where they get the energy they pour into helping students learn, but I'm seriously thankful for them.
The membership fee is a joke when you find out what you have your hands on here. Best money I've ever spent, period.
Just had my first $10,000 day with SOT! 1000 ticks on CL today trading 10 contracts back and forth inside the range. my account is growing like a weed and this has been an amazing experience with the best trading community on the planet. Cant thank JJ, JH, Megan, and everyone in the chat room for helping me through this!
Ive hit my weekly goal for 6 weeks straight, thanks to JJ and JH for helping us every day in the trade room and chat room! The most important thing you guys have taught me is PATIENCE to wait for the right trade at the right time. I suffered from 'FOMO' (fear of missing out) for the last few years and it always cost me losing trades, but after watching JJ wait patiently for the right timing of the trade I was inspired to do the same and my trading has improved literally overnight. Cant put a price tag on the lessons Ive learned and the profit ive earned with SOT!
wow, this experience has been incredible to say the least. I have seen dozens of trade rooms over the last few years and i can honestly tell you that the SOT trade room and chat rooms are the best you are going to find online. the best part of being a member for me is the confidence i have trading with JJ each morning. when i trade with JJ i know exactly where to look and what to avoid, which has been the difference between losing and winning each day on my account. the chat room is also a great place to meet all the other members, JH does a great job posting charts and helping everyone find trades. this place is awesome, well worth the investment, wish I would have found JJ a few years ago when i started.
The School of trade is very good. today I earn +610USD and a total of +3100USD for this week. I am in green for 2016 profiting +7270 for the year with JJ in the trade room. very good trading room and calls are clear and easy to follow thank you everyone.
I caught the big drop on Crude this morning with you JJ for +115ticks, awesome trade, you called the entire session brilliantly. This week was my 5th consecutive week in the green since joining your trade room.
I cant believe how different I look at the charts and the way I trade now that I am learning from you, THANK YOU once again from the bottom of my heart for all you and JH do every day for the members of SOT. Ill see you on Monday in the LTR!
Buy low, sell high, know who controls market, dont try predict reversals, and follow trend! These are few of rules that I learned from SOT and have helped me earn more this month than I could imagined. First 30 day as member in the trading room and I am in the profit over 10,000, amazing and so exciting to be here!!!
SoT is the place to be if you want to learn and grow as a successful Future's trader. I'm an advance member and I can't say enough positive remarks that could extremely express how pleased I am to be an advance member of SoT. JJ and John-Henry really understand Price Action and they take their time to ensure their SoT members do too. I have no regrets becoming a member and would do it again in a minute best investment I have made when it comes to my trading career.
Thank you School of Trade, keep up the great work!
I agree with all the comments above. I have been in the trade room as a member for 3 weeks now and I have made profit every week and learned more than I thought was possible in such a short time.
I log in every morning from my laptop, simple setup, simple strategy, fun group of people in the chat room, I am very happy being a member and will continue to refer friends to SOT. I hope this review helps someone make the right decision about their trading education.
My experience as a member of SoT has been great so far. I've been trading for 5 weeks with JJ and my results have been very good so far. I practiced in sim for the first two weeks, then started trading 1 contract to build my account just like the trading plan says and everything is growing each week. I moved to 2 contracts this week and i am focused on following the plan to grow my account so my daily goal gets bigger every day. The most important thing for me has been watching JJ execute the trades in the trade room because it makes it easy for me to learn how to do it correctly, i think the trade room is priceless for that. very happy member here JJ, keep it up, ill be trading 10 contracts and leaving my J.O.B soon enough!!
skip over the Beginner's section as I have been around this business for a while. I am glad I didn't gloss over it !
The Chaos chapter was outstanding !! The rest of it is equally fantastic ;-]. Very clear explanations ! I am going to watch the Gann video next, I can't wait.
I can tell you have completely put your heart into this course. I am nearly dumbstruck at how thorough this is, and how much material you have included. The web site is superbly organized, I cannot speak too highly of what you have put together.
I am so glad that I have become a part of SoT, I know I am in the best place I could be. I almost can't believe I've finally found someone who can trade CL and shares the knowledge in such a great way.. I have been looking for years, knowing that I need help.
On another quick note, I actually went long ( SIM) CL at 8:03 EST !!! But did not stay in, a HUGE challenge for me.. That trade was made from the confidence I know have from watching what you do. Thank you for sharing your years of experience and your very hard work !!
What Joseph does in his education and trade room is the best I have seen available to retail traders online since I began searching over 2 years ago. You can learn to use charting software and technical analysis from a lot of different sources, but the challenge is to put it all together in a consistently reliable manner, which is exactly what I got from Joseph.
In my opinion, you will learn everything you NEED to know, and you will will make profit with this if you stay patient and wait for the opportunities that he points out each day in the trade room. (trade room is excellent btw).
The most valuable aspect to learning from 'JJ' is that he seems to have an uncanny way of interpreting the 'story' (his words) that the market is telling us each day. He teaches how to use channels, measured-moves, and moving-averages (simple stuff) to find trading opportunities, but then he goes much further and shows you how to find the right times to enter the market when the risk and reward are properly aligned. I think its brilliant how he brings it all together, and i think every trader would benefit from this type of knowledge as well, which is why im writing this review, I hope it helps because we need more educators like this online.
Becoming a member was the best investment decision I have made in the last 10 years. You did a great job with the educational videos JJ and the trade room is perfect for showing us newbies how to define the market conditions, and where to enter and exit the trades for the highest winning percentages. Very happy to be involved with this group, really loving every minute right now, thanks again for all your hard work with us today in the room!
An exceptional week we had in the trade room, very exciting markets today for payroll news and we did very well, I am confident this will continue next week as well. I am now 5 weeks in profit with this strategy and very satisfied with my results, next step is to add more position to each trade according to the trade plan, each day it gets better. Thank you JJ, Megan, JH you all have been superb.
Thank You JJ, Megan, JH and everyone in the SOT Community. My first 30 days as a member have been awesome. The education course is excellent to say the least, it gave me the tools I needed to be ready for trading with you in the live room. The trade room has been one of the best experiences of my career so far. I dont know how you do it, but you give SO MUCH of yourself to your clients every single day, its amazing to me how you do it. The most important part for me was showing me how to use the set-ups along with the entry triggers to get into the trades correctly and you do that perfectly in the trade room, helping me get in and out of the trades correctly. So far i've more than tripled my small account by just watching and learning alongside you each day. I dont write reviews very often, but after such a great day today to finish the week I wanted to say THANKS from my entire family, I know I am not alone when I say this, but we great appreciate this opportunity to be a part of SOT... get some rest.. see you MONDAY JJ!
Having an awesome month of August with JJ in the trade room. I have six consecutive weeks in the green on my account, next week I will add another contract to my position size, learning and earning more every day and love being with this group of traders. I tell people every day, if you want to be successful in day trading you need to work with JJ, JH and SOT. JJ is an incredible teacher and one of the hardest working people ive ever met. The sky is the limit for me now and im ready for it!
I have very much loved learning with JJ and JH in the trading room and chat room. Being a member of the school of trade has been great and I would highly recommend this service to anyone who wants to be a trader in the futures markets. My favorite part is that he shows me everything in the trade room at 800EST so I am ready for making trades that day. I am very confident that I can find winning trades and the trade room keeps my focus when i need to be ready for the next trade. Thanks to JJ and JH and Megan for being great people and helping me get success in my account after 2 years of trying hard with other strategies that did not work.
I spent three years trying to learn this on my own, lost three trade accounts because of stupid mistakes, and finally took the leap and joined as a member of SOT after watching joe's newsletter for the last 18 months. I wish I had started sooner because the stuff he teaches makes so much sense, it really works, and I finally have a trading strategy that I trust and can rely on every day. I think the video course is great, it covers everything you will need, and the trade room does exactly what I needed it to do... JJ shows us how to find the trade set-ups and pull the trigger. This is exactly what I needed, and im very happy to be a member of this group.
I had an 85% winning ratio in the month of November, my best month of 2016, and I use all the stuff JJ teaches in his videos and trade room. I love the scalping and swing trading in the daily trade room, its exactly what you need when you're new to the markets. Learn from the videos, watch it in the trade room for a few weeks, its easy to learn if you just apply yourself. My goal was to double the size of my account this year, and I did that in just 2 months, 2017 is going to be the best year ever, so excited!
It is like opening a treasure chest every day that I go to the courses for study or enter the trade room! This is positively the best investment I have ever made in myself. I say positively on purpose, because JJ is the most positive person I have ever come across. There are so many things I can go into in this brief testimonial, but I will only touch on two...well maybe three if I can't just help myself.
First is the unparalleled customer service from SOT. My first experience started with them in December 2015 (due to work schedules and such, I had to shelf training for a year after purchasing, and another year after funding my trade account for other unforeseen reasons). So, in Dec 2015, I found one of SOT's videos on youtube and in it JJ said that if you have any questions to give them a call, or send an email, so I did. I had a question as to cost of the course and figured that I would just send an email. Keep in mind that this was in late December so I figured it would be the new year before I got a response. Well, the response was nearly immediate, I mean within minutes. It was an email from Megan asking me to give her a call and she would be happy to answer all my questions. In speaking with Megan I never felt as if she was in a rush just to make a sale and be done with it, and it became a lengthy call as one question led to another.
Secondly, I used to trade (not successfully) in the spot forex market several years ago. Let me just say that my experience all the way around was far less than dismal, and I cannot even go into detail about my experience with brokers without breaking out the antacid LOL. While pursuing my spot market forex trading adventure, if it could be called that, I participated in a few trade rooms as a one time guest. The rooms were typically not muted and were overflowing with vulgarity and profanity. Not an environment that I enjoyed being in, let alone exposing anyone in earshot to that type of behavior. I am pleased that my experience in the SOT trade room is a polar opposite. JJ is the epitome of professional and it is a great pleasure to be in a learning environment that has proven to be very beneficial and profitable to me.
Wrapping up, I want to highlight the hallmarks of world-class service that I have received from SOT. 1) Responses to questions are timely, if not immediate. 2) Professionalism is truly second to none. 3) Pleasant atmosphere, and easy to work with.
I have to say that I look forward to getting in the trade room every day. If you are not a member and haven't taken advantage of the free pass, I encourage you to do so. Thanks for all the patience, all the help, all the inspiration and motivation. JJ and SOT is the real deal!!!
I was suprised when I learned that futures trading doesnt require as much capital as trading stocks.
My stock broker wanted me to have more than $25k in my account, and the fees were very high.
One of the many reasons I enjoy trading with JJ is because I was able to start a career in day trading without a lot of money.
JJ recommends $3000, so I started with that, and my trading has been going really well.
I started my journey into day trading 2 years ago. I read a bunch of books, watched probably 1000+ youtube videos, but I seemed to find a way to lose money almost every day.
I found SOT by watching some of JJ's videos on his website, and I was really worried about spending more money on trading education, but it was so easy to see that Joe know's his stuff, so I became a client and it was literally the best investment I've made in a LONG time.
I've learn more with JJ in his trade room that money can buy. My trading is going AMAZING, im getting better every day.
JJ always recommends you start small, so I started with 1 contract on Oil Futures and now I've moved up to 3 contracts 2 months later and i'm really suprising myself how much I can do in such a little time.
Dont underestimate your own potential, take the plunge with JJ, you wont regret it.
I just finished a private session with JJ and wanted to share my experience thus far. I've been a member of many different chat rooms and trading rooms over the last few years and this has been the best experience by far. One of the biggest complaints I had about my last trading 'mentor' was that he was never available to help when I needed it with techie stuff and trading support. JJ has completely turned that around for me. He gives us 200% of his energy every day in the trade room, and I just bugged him on a SUNDAY to help me with my new laptop and he was right there to make sure I was ready for Monday's session. Im really impressed with you JJ, and I wish I would have found you years ago before I wasted all my time and money on other (cheaper) options. As you always remind us... you get what you pay for. Its refreshing to see someone who actually DELIVERS MORE than they promise. THANK YOU for this, and keep up the great work!
Really love being in the trade room with JJ, he is such a gifted teacher and an amazing trader, but the best part is that he helps me get over my biggest challenge as a trader which is being too scared to pull the trigger. I struggled for over 3 years trying to trade on my own, and i would avoid taking trades and watch them make money without me. I almost quit my dream of trading, but took one last risk and joined JJ and SOT and it was BY FAR the best risk I ever take. JJ helps me get confidence and my account is growing now so my confidence builds more every day I trade with him. Very thankful for the opportunity I have with him every morning, and hope for many many years more. God bless every one at SOT.
I've been a member for a LONG time, so this review is way overdue, sorry JJ! The biggest reason why I would recommend JJ and SOT to other traders is because this strategy WORKS, and it makes it easy to earn consistant income on a small trade account. My account is small, and with futures, you dont need to risk a lot to earn enough to pay the bills, which is a big deal for me after having some medical issues last year. I would also say that JJ is a master at PATIENCE. I have never seen him lose his composure during the trading day, which helps ME tremendously. JJ gave me a career in day trading, and he helps me every day, it's worth a LOT more than he is charging. Thanks JJ, and the SOT crew!
I have been in almost every trading room on the internet, many of them a complete waste of time and money. JJ is the first moderator I have seen that actually teaches his strategy correctly while he is running his trade room.
I have seen many trading rooms where the moderator does not trade, or takes too many trades, or the worst is when they use big stop-losses to avoid showing people a losing trade. Many trading rooms do not actually trade the same strategy they teach in their videos. Also, many moderators of trading rooms have big tempers, big egos, and actually made me a horrible trader when I was attending their sessions.
The reason I joined with JJ, and the reason I will refer friends to JJ is because "what you see is what you get." JJ did great work on his trading strategy, he has a wonderful series of videos to learn the strategy, and he actually teaches you how to apply that strategy in his trading room. He keeps a calm voice, he is very specific, he describes everything happening in real-time, I think he does an amazing job, and I see a lot of value in that.
The strategy works, the trading room is the best you've going to find on the internet in my opinion, and I think the cost of membership is a bargain considering how much money can be made with his strategy if you apply the effort.
I'm in the process of funding my account(demo expired), and have never traded with real money.
I'm glad to have found Schooloftrade.com, as I can see that what he teaches us in the free trial lessons(recorded) are really what we see in the live traderoom. We get to see JJ trading the patterns that he taught us, but also NOT trading the patterns, when the situation is not appropriate. And all along he is explaining everything that he is doing in a way that is very easy for someone who has never traded before to understand.
Something I love is how JJ starts off the day with a blank chart, and builds it all up(lines, areas) right in front of us. All along telling us what he is doing, and referring to what he calls "3 steps to trading success". There really is a script to follow.
Another thing is that JJ goes by the book. He has so much confidence in his strategy that he doesn't really mind getting stopped out a few times(doesn't happen often). He knows that if he just follows the strategy, it will be profitable. As he always says: "Plan your trade, and trade your plan".
JJ is also very open for questions in the trade room, frequently asking if anyone has questions. But it's hard to have something to ask when we have such a good teacher!
I don't want to be like so many traders who lose a lot of money before they learn how to trade the hard way. For that reason investing in education is definitely a must. Now that I've found a teacher worthy following(proven in the free trial traderoom. Go check for yourself), I'll just have to recover financially from the account funding, and become a student at Schooloftrade.com. Wooo!
I am really excited to be apart of SOT, I was lost when I first started trading. Bought a couple of programs, and still was lost, but JJ help me find my way. His teaching is worth every dime. I appreciate you JJ for helping me build my trading career.
JJ is a very passionate teacher. He focuses on the most essential key elements of trading such as discipline and controlling emotions. I am very fortunate to be a student of School of Trade.
Hi, I'm Matt, A new member at School of Trade. I'd like to comment on the Advanced Course material and my experience, so far, at School of Trade. I'm 49. In my younger days I've been an aspiring guitar player, mechanic, Las Vegas craps dealer, and, for the past 20+ years, a construction glazier here in Minnesota. Trading has been, by far, the most challenging thing I have every tried to achieve. In my three years, thus far, I've been through three daytrading programs and have spent thousands of hours in front of my screens trying to find and edge in the markets that I trade, studying things like Elliot Wave Theory, Harmonic/Ratio trading, Fibonacci, market patterns, gap strategies, market internals, options strategies and options volatility, you name it; I've been through the wringer like many of us have. It's all good though. I don't regret it. Unfortunately, my education so far is about the same as an 8th grade diploma in comparison to the pros; it's just not enough to compete long term with the professionals who run the markets.
If your thinking about stepping up and getting to that higher level of education in your trading, do yourself a favor and invest yourself here at School of Trade. Trying to piece together a strategy from the internet, or a handful of other sources, and then thinking your going to compete with the pros is not going to stack the odds in your favor, in my opinion. The course material in the Advanced Course is presented in such a way, by Joseph himself, that, by design, even an inexperienced trader can grasp and understand the concepts and begin to build a proper foundation in the process of earning the right to be a consistently profitable trader.
I'll end this brief post by saying that this experience with School of Trade has, by far, blown away any other educators who have attempted to educate retail traders in trading stocks, or the futures markets. If you do anything at all, at least take advantage of the free trial. It's very generous and a worthwhile experience.
My experience has been very positive, similar to all these posts on this page already. The one thing I truly admire about JJ is his way of teaching the materials while he is searching for trades, it's truly inspiring to me each day I join him. If you learn these methods and you keep your finger off the buttons until timing is right, then you WILL MAKE MONEY 100%. Thank you JJ for this professional system you have created, I am very grateful for the pleasure to work with you.
Love JJ, love his trade room, have very positive results. Most important thing I learned this week was the three keys to success: Strategy, Skills, and Mindset. JJ gives you the strategy, he encourages repitition to build the skills, and his daily trading room is priceless for showing me what the real mindset of a successful traders must be. Can't say enough good things about SOT, highly recommend to anyone who wants to be consistantly profitable in this business.
I've done the week Free Trial and first day in the 8am Trade Room. I can only comment about that experience.
I've spent THOUSANDS over the years on trading programs that all offered big promises. Only to find that I can't make it work for me, and the seller not willing to take users by the hand and teach & lead. I have dozens of them sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
So the last few years, any program I consider, I have insisted on a "look-see" period including at least a few days in their Trade Room. I'm totally willing to pay for that look-see, and/or place a deposit with the vendor to prove I am serious if it does work for me. I am not trying to steal anyone's work, or benefit from it at no cost. I've never minded paying up to $100 for that look-see, even if I end up not using it. Over a dozen times I've dodged a bullet, by NOT spending $500-$2000 or more on buying a program that ultimately I could not make work for me and would just be another thing sitting on my shelf.
Megan was extremely encouraging about full members getting all the support they need. In the Free Trial there are literally HUNDREDS of hours of FREE instruction, with archives going back 5 or 6 years. JJ teaches trading the same way in the current videos as the oldest ones. And JJ's style in those videos is EASY to follow! All I really needed to know for myself was if JJ actually does in the live room what you see in all the videos. Which if he did, I WANT IT BADLY!!
So I did the $500, to try out the live Trade Room, just finished the first day and again I now understand why they will not negotiate on the $500 to look-see.
Upon finishing the Room today, I came in here to post IMMEDIATELY that not only YES HE DOES use the exact same style in the Live Room, but you do actually see him start with blank charts, put on S&R lines and channels, mark the moves, and point out exactly what he will look for as entries. He then goes thru all the checklists, rules, news that is scheduled, sets timers, and ACTUALLY DOES all the things the Free Trial says he's going to do. This is the "meat" of what SchoolOfTrade does.
And when it comes time that he sees a trade, he DOES put it on the chart in advance, JUST LIKE IN ALL THE VIDEOS. Which means that if someone just wanted to use him for a signal service, they could. They would probably find it difficult to have to listen thru all that "boring teaching" just to get signals and take the trades, LOL. But you could. Which means that if you DO REALLY WANT TO LEARN, but still take profitable trades while you learn, he is exactly as easy to follow as in the videos, and you can do that here.
Now that I've experienced it, I can see that there is no way to allow a taste of it without giving it all away.
And that's what I need. I've been in way too many rooms where they talk all about the trade they just took, or everyone else is talking about the trades they just took. That doesn't teach me anything. For years I have wished I had someone who knows what they're doing, who was both willing to help me follow what they're doing AND willing to teach it to me as we go. The Free Trial gives the feeling that this place is it, and having been in the Live Trade Room for just one day today confirms it.
I will be paying the balance of my Full Course membership ASAP.
I just finished a set-up call with JJ, this guy goes above and beyond the call of duty in everything he does, right? I've been trying to make trading work for a few years at this point, but it didnt start coming together for me until I watched JJ add the "day type" filter into his patterns. Wish I would have joined a few years ago, I would have saved myself a lot of cash and frustration. That's why im writing this post, maybe this will help someone else avoid the same experience. If you have the money to invest in your education, this is the place to do it, as most people have already said, this was worth every penny.
I have been investing and trading for about 20 years now with varying amounts of success and failures. Over those years I have spent a lot of money on various trading courses including in recent years a career programme that was run in London for three months full time.
I have recently signed up for SOT advanced training and currently in my first month of studies. In this time I have been impressed with the materials on the web site and depth to which these materials go. If you are serious about moving from part time investor to full time professional trading this is definitely the course I would recommend.
First week with JJ in the trade room - i gotta admit - it was even better than I expected. He looks at the market in such a different way than anything i've ever seen. reading market psychology is such a shortcut, it doesnt matter what tools you use, just listening to JJ call the market each day is insane. best money i've spent on education by a landslide, i thought the price was too expensive last year when I found SOT, but honestly, i lost twice as much money trying to do this on my own, and i've earned most of it back just from what i've learned being a member in the room with JJ.
finished my first month in the trade room with JJ today, and even in the slow summer markets this strategy still works really well, most of my trading buddies lost money this month, but I have to give JJ credit, he's a great leader in the trade room because he holds us accountable to our rules, which has always been the hardest part for me. He calls the market correctly almost every morning, I need to really work hard to mess this up now. BiG THANKS to SOT, excited for September!

ALLAN ENCOURAGES ISLANDERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO LONELINESS STRATEGY
Na h-Eileanan an Iar SNP MSP Alasdair Allan is calling on constituents in the Western Isles to contribute to the Scottish Government's new consultation looking at the causes of social isolation and loneliness and how they can be addressed.
The consultation will run until 30 April and will thereafter feed into a new national strategy, one of the first in the world, to tackle loneliness and isolation. A national strategy to combat loneliness was a key ask of the Jo Cox Commission, which welcomed this announcement.
Views are also being sought on how communities can build on the work of the Scottish Government, and lead on ensuring those at risk of becoming lonely or isolated have access to the right support networks.
Alasdair Allan commented:
"It's important that voices from across the islands get involved in the Scottish Government's consultation to help shape the new loneliness and isolation strategy. Every one of us has a role to play in reducing loneliness in Scotland.
"Dealing with loneliness and isolation can be incredibly difficult, and by reaching out to our neighbours or anyone we think may be at risk of becoming isolated or lonely we can all have a hugely positive impact. We are lucky to have organisations like Befriending Lewis and Caraidean Uibhist, among others.
"Loneliness can affect all ages and it is linked to both poor physical and mental health. Research now suggests loneliness can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. It can have wide-ranging consequences on so many aspects of our lives.
"The SNP Government will be the first country in the UK and one of the first in the world to develop a national strategy to address loneliness and isolation, but this strategy needs our communities and society to lead the way in ensuring those at risk of loneliness get the support they need. I would encourage as many people as possible in the islands to have a say on this very important issue by contributing to the consultation."
The Scottish Government's consultation will run until 30 April and can be found at https://consult.gov.scot/equality-unit/connected-scotland
