I recently took the on line course with Steve Hoffner presenting Rookietrades for beginners. I wanted to learn about stocks and trading for which I admit I had zero experience. This course presented by Steve Hoffner exceeded my expectations! Steve’s knowledge, expertise and presentation put my mind at ease. He explains everything in detail, simply and without judgement. Steve is very knowledgeable, energetic and wishes to share his knowledge with all who attend his on line classes. I am so glad I took his class, I learned so so much and he helped build my confidence with the knowledge I learned from him and his power points. I highly recommend taking his class, you will learn, Steve makes sure of it. He actively engages with his students in a pleasant and comfortable manner, never rushed and will extend himself beyond time allotted to make sure you understand. I give Steve Hoffner and rookietrades an A+

So, you want to be a trader?
I highly recommend Rookie Trades for anyone looking to learn how to invest and trade in the stock market. Taking this course has been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
The course was thoughtfully structured from start to finish, covering not only the “how” of trading, but also the “why” behind different strategies and approaches. Steve explained everything in terms that were easy to understand, and I never felt lost or overwhelmed throughout the process.
The course provided an overview of several different trading methods, but what truly set it apart was that Steve didn’t just teach the concepts—he showed us how to actually implement them. The classes were informative, engaging, and easy to follow without feeling overwhelming. Steve and the other students created a supportive environment where everyone encouraged one another and shared in each other’s successes.
Steve is patient, thorough, relatable, passionate, and most importantly, available. If you have questions, he’s always willing to help and genuinely wants his students to succeed. His enthusiasm for trading is contagious, and he makes learning about the market enjoyable.
Take this course not only for the knowledge you’ll gain, but also for the community you’ll become part of. Instead of navigating the markets on your own, you’ll be joining a group of investors who exchange ideas, discuss strategies, and support each other along the way.
I can’t say enough great things about Steve and Rookie Trades. If you’ve been thinking about getting started, don’t hesitate—come join us!

A Trading Course with Exceptional Ongoing Support
I came into Rookie Trades with very little confidence in my understanding of the stock market, but this course completely changed that for me.
What stood out most was how approachable and practical Steve made everything feel. He has a unique ability to break down complex topics into concepts that are easy to understand and apply. Rather than simply teaching theories, he focuses on helping students develop the skills and confidence needed to make informed decisions on their own.
The course is well organized, engaging, and designed to meet people where they are, regardless of their experience level. I never felt intimidated asking questions, and Steve was always willing to provide additional guidance and support. What truly sets him apart, though, is that his commitment to his students doesn’t end when class is over.
Steve is incredibly generous with his time and genuinely invested in helping others succeed. Whether it’s answering questions outside of class, walking through a trade setup, offering reassurance during uncertain market conditions, or simply being available to talk things through, he consistently goes above and beyond. Even after completing the course, you don’t feel like you’re on your own. Steve continues to be an accessible resource and mentor, which is something that is rare to find.
Another huge benefit of Rookie Trades is the community that comes with it. Learning alongside others who are on a similar journey creates an encouraging environment where ideas, experiences, and strategies are shared openly. It’s reassuring to know that you’re not navigating the markets alone.
If you’re looking for a course that provides not only valuable education but also ongoing support and mentorship, I highly recommend Rookie Trades. Whether you’re brand new to trading or looking to strengthen your existing knowledge, Steve has created an environment where people can learn, grow, and build confidence long after the course itself has ended.

If you want to learn to trade, this is it!
I started out with not an ounce of knowledge when it comes to trading and the stock market. Rookie trades’ classes help form me into a profitable day trader after a short amount of time. In an industry that takes years to learn and grow I feel like Rookie Trades helped me develop faster. The classes are fun and engaging and very in dept along with it being extremely easy to understand. A great coach and a skill I can utilize for the rest of my life if I so decide.

Rookie Trades is a great place to begin your trading journey
Just finished the beginner course that Steve teaches and learned a couple of new things that I will be using in my stock trading journey. Steve is a great teacher and goes over the lessons in detail. He always has time for someone to ask him to explain something more and also gives a short review of the previous class. This is a great introduction to the stock market and trading and I guarantee you will leave learning something you didn't know.. the only thing I would suggest is to give more examples of day trading with a day chart and how to use the strategies while looking at the day chart.
