Rod leaves the magical thinking behind. Learning how to be a successful trader takes time and practice. Rod provides frameworks to make practice successful. Rod and the community are very supportive.

Rod is an amazing mentor
Rod is an amazing mentor. I was introduced to TDG by my friend Riley who is a full time trader who also learned everything he knows from Rod. This community is surrounded by positive people who are ambitious and motivated which really makes great. Last, being taught trading education by Rod, someone who has over 30 years of trading experience, simply can't be compared to any one else in the online trading space, which is basically filled with 22 year olds teaching nonsense.

Love it!
Finding this group has been a game changer for me. Instead of treading water/ drowning, I'm moving towards payouts! The system is very easy to understand and there is a lot of flexibility to customize to what works for you. Rod and co are great teachers and the info is easy to understand. A+ community for everyone sick of all the hype out there.

Game-changer for realistic, disciplined futures trading
Before joining Traders Development Group (TDG), I had been trading futures for two years, lost a lot of capital early on, and was essentially just breaking even. Joining TDG and learning Rod’s trading style was the turning point that made me consistently profitable.
What sets TDG apart is the relentless focus on risk management. Rod makes it the absolute foundation of everything he teaches, emphasizing small lots of micro contracts to keep emotions in check and preserve capital. If you’re looking to utilize prop firms, there is probably no better resource than TDG to help you do it right. As Rod says, we’re living in a golden age of trading, and using prop firm accounts properly is a huge piece of that puzzle.
The live room only runs from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM Eastern, and it still amazes me that you can generate solid daily profits using micro contracts in just two hours a day without staring at charts all day. Rod provides or explains everything you need to get set up, and the community itself is genuine, friendly, and supportive. If you want to stop blowing up accounts and trade the right way, I highly recommend TDG.

I finally found a trading community…
I finally found a trading community that I love. It's been a great learning experience but more than anything it is so nice to a part of a positive community. I joined this group at a critical point in my "trading journey" and it has been a game changer. Thank you Rod for putting this type of community together and for all the knowledge you provide. I hope to be a member for a long time and I would recommend this group to anyone looking for a REAL trading experience that can be sustained for the long term. No BS in this group!

Plenty of good things to say
I can’t say enough good things about TDG. Rod’s leadership, insight, and due diligence have been extremely valuable to me. When I joined, I was struggling to consistently pass prop firm evaluations; today, I have several funded PA accounts, and TDG has played a meaningful role in that progress.
Beyond the trading itself, it’s just a great community—fun, approachable, supportive, and full of people genuinely trying to improve. There’s no snake oil or promises of overnight success, just solid information, guidance, and a group of traders working to get better. I highly recommend TDG to anyone serious about developing as a trader.

Risk management saves accounts
I've been learning to trade for the past 2–3 years. Before I found Rod and TDG, I had reached a break-even stage and had tried most of the strategies you find online.
What sets TDG apart from others is its focus on building a solid framework and prioritizing risk management before anything else. That was the missing piece for me. Before, I could easily overleverage, make some quick profits, and then give it all back just as fast.
After adopting a risk-first approach, I've been able to keep more of my profits and steadily grow my account. I'm now about to pass my first prop firm evaluations, and my small live account is already generating enough to cover my TDG membership.
The biggest difference is that I no longer feel the same anxiety and stress with every position I take. Instead, I trust my process and focus on consistent execution.

Fantastic experience with TDG!
Fantastic experience with TDG! Highly recommend if you're looking for a trading community that truly delivers on both instruction and community support. Beyond learning strategies and risk management, there's also detailed instruction to help with platform setups and troubleshooting the tech side of things. It's sort of impossible not to become profitable if you follow what Rod teaches.
