The "Challenge week" presentations
The "Challenge week" presentations were enthusiastic with a little education added... More for people who know nothing about investing, I am sure. I have been investing for 40 years and to me they were working to get people to sign up for their $30,000 pkg, which then made me think of this similar to pyramid schemes and other "opportunities" where they really pump you up so that you will buy into the product, and pay them some hard earned money we have. Anyone who does a little homework can find great (free) teaching video libraries from YouTube from known and trusted institutions like Charles Schwab (trader talks) or Tasty Trade (and others too). Beyond all of those I am sure there are some others, but these 2 YouTube libraries are solid... so anyone considering paying for this service... go get education and utilize that $30,000 for trading. There are also many books (but do your homework) some of which I have read and studied which helped. investopedia dot com or investors dot com has resources to learn from. While I believe the objective of TradeWay is to get individuals to learn to grow their financial assets, which is good. The price to pay for this is way out of bounce in my opinion... I cannot in good conscience recommend paying this ($30K) cost to start your investing journey. My point here is to spend some time reading, learning, and taking time to investigate. Yes, it takes time - but anything in this life that generates value takes time, there is no magic "program or package" which can be bought which will produce financial success.
Response from TRADEwayMar 23, 2026
Ken, we are very sorry to see your 2 star review after completing our Challenge. Our Challenge is catered towards newer traders, and from what you have communicated to our team, it was quite helpful for your wife (a newbie, whereas you have been trading proficiently for 40 years). We understand from communicating further with you that the main issue you have with us was not with the Challenge presentation itself, but rather with the offer that we make post-challenge (to those who request to see an offer). As we state on Day 1 of the Challenge, we do not use the 5 days for selling, but rather for educating and teaching a powerful structure and strategy folks can use coming out of the Challenge--we then step into a breakout room ONLY with those who request to see an offer for taking steps after the event. We also make it VERY clear that: 1. The offer is not a good fit for everyone; 2. That we have a fiduciary duty to make sure it is a good fit for the client and for TRADEway; 3. That no one may purchase without a "fit" phone call prior (no "buy now" links or otherwise); 4. That our offer is the most comprehensive program that we offer which comes with lifetime education, over a year of M-F 1:1 coaching, live webinars, and so much more (and all from a Biblical worldview and Christian environment). Yes, folks could certainly take a DIY approach with brokers and YouTube, as you stated..but after training thousands and thousands of students, we do NOT recommend it. We know the difference in what we have to offer and we stand very firm on how impactful our program can be when the fit is right (and we know we will answer to God himself for our care of His children which we take more seriously than anything else). I hope this helps bring clarity. Please continue to communicate with Coach Dave (my husband) as much as you'd like, and hopefully we can come closer and closer to an understanding. Thank you!
