    10 hours won't scratch the surface. They'll teach you just enough to come here and say things that get you yelled at, and the guy teaching you, probably wont know shit.

    I was full time online poker player before i transition to trading full time so i know where you are coming from. I can't speak on this particular service because i haven't tried it but 90-99% of these services, coach, are not worth your time. There's a saying those who can't make enough money trading, teach. The good traders are making a ton of money and are not wasting their time with coaching for a few hundred or thousand dollars. You are better off learning as much as you can and doing it on your own.

    Good luck on your journey sir.

    I'm okay with getting crap, someone here even called me a "f'cking idiot". I was okay with that, because I know I'm not the smartest dude here. Also, I believed it was a misunderstanding. But some other dude started asking me some real personal questions where the answers should have been pretty obvious. I blocked his @ss because he smelled like real trouble.

  4. Ron, at TradingDominion is a very sharp guy, and from what I can tell (over the last few years), a step well above others providing services.

    I'm happy to concede Ron is the brightest guy that has ever executed an option trade. Fine with me. I bow before the master.
    BUT Ten hours is not even one days work. The OP would laugh in my face if I asked if in ten hours I could walk into a poker game vs. Bryn Kenney, Justin Bonomo, Daniel Negreanu, and Dan Smith. Oh yeah, they can also bring along a PC.
    Options are infinitely more complicated than poker, it's absurd to tell someone they can be taught to be successful in one short day of intense training. NUTS!!!

    I would add Stephen Chidwick to the list who is arguably the best player now. :)

    What happened to making a living from poker? Are the edges also gone, like in trading?
    Last I heard you could still make some decent cash from the casinos in Asia.

  8. K. My comment was intended to suggest Ron is not a charlatan. Regarding time to learn options well enough to trade successfully ... I agree with you!

    Did you ever trade on the Amex?

    Very briefly. Trading equity options in a specialist market felt like someone crippled me. It was by magnitudes, the least productive time of my entire career.

    But yes, I was referencing a handful of people I met there, who were reasonably decent options traders, and from what I understood, WAY above average bridge players.

    I know nothing about bridge.
