Originally signed up for Kevin O’Leary event in edmonton alberta in december 2018. From this event I learned about the options course. Signed up for it and paid the $1300 since they brought up that this amount will be refunded if we placed trades. I was hesistant at first but took a leap of faith and thought to myself that paying this amount will hold me accountable for doing the work required to get a refund. So since i like to challenge myself i decided to pay the $1300 to attend the 3 day course. I brought my sister as my guest and we attended the 3day event together. During these 3day event we were given a lot of informtion on what an option is but not enough to make us confident enough to actually trade options. At the end of the 3day event we werent expecting that there would be offering extra training which costs 20k. My sister and i badly want some more training on options but at the same time we didnt have that amount. We sat down with our consultant and decided to pay $10k instead of the full amount but also we would only have access to half of the material for paying just a portion of the tuition. Fast forward to now i would say that we made the right decision to sign up for the course and pay this amount. We really see the value of options now and the materials and the information on the training/ course which are not available anywhere definitely contributed to our success in trading options. Without the coaching and information from the course we wouldnt be seeing the super incredible return that we’re getting from trading options in our account. I would highly recommend this course however in order to be successful it takes time hard work, time and patience. I made a couple of mistakes at the beginning when i first started my live trades because i rushed into it without paying much attention and applying the information on the videos from the course. After i applied the information in the course i was then able to make profitable trades. This just goes to show that having patience and taking the time to learn, absorb and apply the material from the course can really make you successful in trading options. I’ve also taken advantage of the resource line which i think contributed to my success as well. If there’s anything i whish that our access to the software and videos are longer. For paying the 10k we were only given 6months of access to the software and the instructional videos.

Just wanted to wait until the refund cheque cleared before I wrote this review. There seems to be a lot of debate over what Interactive Trader does and does not do, so I just hope whoever reads this gets a full picture before making a decision. I originally signed up for the Kevin O'Leary event around Feb. 2019 in Vancouver, Canada. I was surprised to find a pitch on a 3 day trading workshop, at and $1299 CAD no less, but they did promise a full refund after the workshop, so why not? Fast forward to my workshop date around the end of March, and I got to talking to some of the attendees. A couple of people I talked to were already wary going in, and having read a few reviews online, I informed them there would likely be more upsells, and a list of requirements to get that refund, namely a min. of 20 live trades worth $2000 USD. Yes, I read the FINE PRINT. At this point I knew I didn't have the money, so I figured it would be a $1299 lesson for me. Over the course of the weekend, Shaun threw a ton of info to both impress and intimidate the attendees. Impress with his knowledge and acumen as a trader, and intimidate with how much needed to be learned, and how we realistically couldn't do it without their program. I'll say this: I don't agree with Shaun's teaching style, but throughout the whole weekend he did not lie. In fact, during the first day he taught us exactly how to make the $2000/20 live trades requirement in order to get our refund: Day 1, buy $100 of stocks, there's trade #1 and $100 trading completed; Day 2, sell the $100 of stocks, there's trade #2 and $200 trading completed. Just rinse and repeat until you hit the $2000 quota. You could probably get the refund with as little as $300 in a trading account, just cycling it back and forth. Of course attending a 3 day workshop is NOT instantly going to put you on equal footing with every other options trader out there. As some reviewers have said, options trading is ridiculously complex. They did not promise you riches with this course, they promised you the possibility if you work hard through their program. Yes, $20K is a lot of money. I couldn't afford it, so I walked away. Many people in my workshop signed up, and just as many didn't. Some of the coaches were definitely friendlier/harder sells than others, but no one I talked to felt pressured to sign away $20K. One younger guy I talked to said the were even willing to pare down parts of the program to meet his budget. Honestly, their tactic is not so different from what timeshares use: come listen to their pitch, bait you with a promise of a free trip, and they get to sit you down one-on-one to convince you to take out a loan in order to buy into their resorts (yes, a Worldmark rep really said it was in the best interest of my family to take out a loan, so we could enjoy family vacations for years to come!) Was it uncomfortable? Yes. Did I feel pressured? A lot less than that Worldmark hardsell. Am I happy about it? Well, I could have done without the upsell, but I did get a glimpse of the options trading world, and learn how to handle myself in these situations. As for processing the refund, I took my sweet time, using almost all my of my allotted 60 days to complete the requirements. With about 2 weeks to spare I called in and surprisingly the phone picked up after 2 rings to an actual human being. He advised that I had reached the wrong department, and promptly transferred me to their tuition processing dept. From there I submitted my initial documents by email, and it was a constant back and forth as the rep politely and dutifully helped me get all my documents in order, finally meeting all their requirements, and submitting it for review. A quick look at the email thread in my inbox shows it took over 20 emails exchanges to get it right. I had actually gone over my deadline by 3-4 days, luckily they do give a 10 day grace period to submit the refund documents. I was informed my case would go to a review committee, and from there the refund would be process, all in all it would take up to 3 weeks. The whole time I had a nagging feeling that they could use any excuse to deny my claim, but in the end I got my money back.

The staff & teachers are very nice and knowledgeable.

Had a trade issue today regarding an International share offer, I was confused regarding the wording and execution of the purchase also the fact of it being in Australian currency (UK buyer). Spoke with Laura who explained the finer details and executed the transaction for me over the phone. Extremely helpful representative and very happy with the service from Interactive, Well done.

spoke to Laura today ref bed & breakfast shares from trading account to my isa. very helpful , completed quickly and professionally.

Do not fall for this! Scam Scam alert! I can’t believe Kevin O'Leary is part of this. We spent/lost over $13,000 to get $0 in return! First they told us after doing 3 PAPER trades you can get back the original $997 paid for the 3 days stock market investment. Then after throwing away $12,995 we I asked for the $997 originally promised and they came back saying we need 20 REAL trades and even with due date to do these. Unbelievable!! A complete disappointment, waste of time & money!

Wow! It is such a great experience to attend the Elite Retreat. Great training, excellent coaching and the opportunity to meet others hoping to be successful as well. Everyday I felt like I was lifted up a little bit more.....given some hope and vision to what we could do....and brought into the personal circles of some great teachers, trainers and mentors. I hated for it to end...but am so excited to put into practice what I have learned.

Great company. They go above and beyond on their educational services. Learned a lot and applying the methods. It simply works!
