My personal experience
If someone asked me whether I recommend the program, I honestly wouldn't give a simple yes or no. Instead, I'd share my experience and let them decide whether it matches what they're looking for. I have mixed feelings about the program. It may simply not have been the type of learning environment that suited me. Pros The ICT concepts are explained in a well-structured way. Since then, much of the material has also been published on YouTube (with less detail), but I think once you understand the strategy, the real work comes from practice and screen time. There is access to a community of traders. There are daily group coaching calls where members can ask questions and have charts reviewed.(one-to-one coaching sessions with mentors are available, but they come at an additional cost and are not included in the regular membership) Overall, I think the program is particularly suitable for people who are completely new to trading and need a structured roadmap. What I didn't like At the beginning of the program, I had a one-to-one onboarding call where we established a roadmap (study → backtesting → finding an edge → trading → funding). Near the end of my fifth month, I had another short individual call. Apart from that, the only regular contact consisted of monthly check-ins about my progress. Beyond those interactions, most of the responsibility for learning and improving is entirely on you. Personally, I felt I would have benefited from more personalized guidance. I also noticed that there were members with significantly more trading experience who had been in the program for over a year without becoming consistently profitable. That doesn't necessarily mean the program doesn't work, but it made me question whether the level of individual coaching was enough for everyone. By the end of the program, I realized that my biggest obstacle was no longer understanding the strategy. My main challenge is psychology and execution, and that's something I need to work on myself. I rarely used the community chat, and because the daily live sessions often didn't fit my schedule, I usually watched the recordings afterwards. Considering my personal usage, I didn't feel that paying the monthly subscription after the initial six-month period would provide enough value. Cancellation experience I joined the program on 28 January. The pricing model requires a higher payment during the first six months, followed by a monthly subscription. At the beginning of June, I emailed the team requesting cancellation before the monthly subscription started. I received an email saying they would process my request and update me. After almost a month without confirmation, I contacted them again because the subscription renewal date was approaching. Only after my second email did I receive confirmation that my subscription had been cancelled and my access revoked. What disappointed me was that my access was removed immediately, even though I still had around three weeks remaining that I had already paid for under my original six-month period. I don't regret joining because it gave me structure and helped me understand the ICT concepts, but looking back, I don't think the investment required during the initial six months matched the type of support I personally needed to make meaningful progress. However, I realized that what I need at this stage isn't more educational content—it's improving my execution, discipline, and psychology, which no course can do for me. If I were starting over today, I would still invest in my trading education, but I would spend more time researching different options before committing to a program. Looking back, I think I would have benefited more from a mentorship with a stronger focus on personalized feedback and regular one-to-one guidance. Whether this program is worth it depends on what you're looking for: If you're a complete beginner, I think it's a good structured introduction to ICT concepts, with a supportive community and daily group coaching. If you already have trading experience and understand the technical concepts, I would personally recommend looking for a mentorship that offers more individualized coaching and regular reviews of your execution and psychology, as that's where I felt the biggest gap was. Overall, I don't consider the program a bad one—it simply wasn't the best fit for what I needed at this stage of my trading journey.

Thank you, Giulia, for taking the time to write such a thorough and honest review. We genuinely appreciate the care and fairness you put into sharing your experience. You raised some valid points, particularly around the cancellation process and access being removed while time remained on your original period. That is something we take seriously and will look into, as it does not reflect the standard we hold ourselves to. We also hear you on the desire for more personalized guidance. You are right that execution, discipline, and psychology are deeply personal challenges, and we are always working to improve how we support students through that side of the journey. We are glad the program gave you structure and a solid foundation in the concepts. We wish you all the best as you continue developing your trading — your self-awareness about what you need at this stage is itself a real strength.
