This was confirmation of WinWavePro and MQMomentum
Today was confirmation of the benefit of WinWavePro and MQMomentum indicators that I use. I made a bit over $15,800 on trading the downside and was quite impressed with using the indicators to avoid the mistakes I have made in the past. Also, the Intensive Training was invaluable for the foundation. JAK

I recently switched to Base Camp…
I recently switched to Base Camp Trading from another service I have been with since 2020. I have only positive remarks. I am no longer getting into trades that don't have a sound set-up. As a beta tester of WinWave Pro, I am using this indicator to stay in winning trades longer, and getting out of trades earlier that are not going in my favor. I also participated in Thomas Wood's Price & Momentum Intensive, and use Base Camp's Trade Scanner Pro and Super Momentum Indicator. This combo is quickly elevating my trading to a new, much more consistent level.

Thanks for the support
My name is Dwight Hagler and I am new to option trading. I was intrigued by and purchased the MIST course being taught by Dave Aquino. Although I have not started the course yet, I wanted to get a jump on what I might need to be ready. I called Base Camp support line and was connected to David Kaye, one of Base camp’s knowledgeable assistants. I would like to extend my appreciation to him for working with me to find the right products to assist me in my new venture into stock and option trading. David went out of his way and made sure I was not purchasing overlapping products so I could stay within my budget and still have the capability to be successful. He advised me on which pre course lessons offered by Base Camp would be the most beneficial to study first and I found them very useful. Thank you again. Dwight Hagler

This review is for Thomas' morning…
This review is for Thomas' morning daily, weekly, and monthly stock setups only. I have been a basecamp member for over a year and have done fairly well 5-10% per month using my and other analysis. On April 30, 2026 I decided to conduct a test to see how well I could do just using Thomas' suggested setups only. I transferred $5K into a new trading account with no margin and today (2Jun26) that account in about 5weeks is at $18,530. Obviously, I should have put more in that account. With $5K account starter I obviously could not get in all Thomas' morning setups. But I reveiwed his setups every morning and picked one or two stocks each day that looked best to me and the I could get into $1K to $2K each position. Now I am up to two to three a day with $1-3K positions. Consequently, I decided to enroll in Thomas' price action class to learn more. Obviously, my method returns of 5-10% per month are peanuts compared with Thomas' method only return of over 300% in five weeks. Note: I did not buy stock with any position just weekly and sometimes 1 or two days out options. Options included SPY, IBM, RGTI, QBTS, NVDA, USAR, XOM, MSFT, PLUG, INDI, AA, BTDR, TSM, ORCL, BBAI, etc.

Wow — thank you so much for sharing this! We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your incredible results, and we are so grateful that you took the time to document and share your experience in such detail.
A 300%+ return in just five weeks is a remarkable achievement, and while Thomas' setups provided the foundation, the discipline and discernment you brought to selecting the right positions each day played a huge role in that success as well.
We love that you ran a structured test to validate the methodology — that speaks to the kind of thoughtful, analytical mindset that makes a great trader. And we are excited to hear that you have decided to enroll in Thomas' Price Action class. We have no doubt that adding that layer of knowledge will only amplify your already impressive results.
Thank you for being such a dedicated member of the Basecamp community for over a year. Stories like yours are exactly why we do what we do, and they inspire not only our team but fellow members who are on their own trading journeys.
We look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you!

Trading by learning from the Masters
Well, I took Dave Acquino's Intensive training and learned a great deal about signals, trends and the like as well as about myself. Today, I got into a long trade a bit early, 4 SPX calls before lunch and had some pain, but i sensed that there might be good news coming out of Washington and decided to sit with the position, so the training made all the difference, not reaction, just watching the trend which all of a sudden erupted up. So, I ended up with a $10,087 gain on that trade which I give credit to Dave Acquino, Dave Forster and Tom Wood, all three are great trainers and great traders. Take the courses and learn the right way.
Response from Base Camp TradingJun 18, 2026
Thank you so much for sharing this — what an incredible story! A $10,087 gain on a single trade is a fantastic result, and it is wonderful to hear how your training directly shaped the decision-making that got you there.
We also want to thank you for being part of our community and for encouraging others to take the leap and learn the right way. We look forward to hearing about many more wins ahead!
With sincere gratitude, the BCT Team

Best trading group ever.
I am a mid level trader trying to get to that next level. I have spent a lot of money looking for "my people". That is those that trade like me only better and who can teach me to be better. These folks are the best at explaining what is happening right now within the trade and are so very understandable. They tell you what they are looking at and what it means. Their explanations are no longer than they need to be. This is learning in the heat of the moment. If you have questions, they have an answer. They also have classes included in your membership and a wonderful knowledgebase of learning examples.
I would recommend these folks no matter what level trader you are.
Response from Base Camp TradingMay 11, 2026
