I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the markets and how to trade them. I have spent five years, tens of thousands of dollars on courses, chat rooms and alerts with no success. I decided to try Mike system because I could see he was trading a strategy I had never seen before. This course beat them all, and with Mike's help and patience, I can now say I am a trader! It took me a while to get my mindset corrected, but Mike has been there every time that I have asked him for help. I struggled with not fully understanding how to apply his strategy, but little by little my mindset was corrected, and it has been paying off well.
I believe his trading template is well worth the investment

An honest review of Trading Template course
The good:
Mike seems genuine in wanting you to succeed. He answers questions and is willing to take time to walk you through how to apply strategy.
The strategy is a proven price action based strategy that works when applied correctly. (emphasis "when applied correctly")
The teaching concepts are simple and take away the need to understand stock market lingo.
The methodology is different than what others teach and focuses on mind psychology more than outcome which is key in a trader.
The not so good:
The course is basic and simple leaving a lot of intricacies out of this type of strategy and why (I believe) there is a need and emphasis to work on a simulator for some time so that you can understand them. So a return on investment won't or may not come quickly.
While the concept can be applied to intra-day trading, this type of strategy works best for swing or multi day trading. So i wouldn't recommend it for intra-day traders looking to trade in smaller timeframes ( < 15m).
The cost is substantial for a concept/strategy that can be found free online. Also in context to other programs which are providing daily trading rooms, teams of people looking to help you and a good amount more detailed material and daily examples.
Mike also undermines market terminology which may or may not benefit you long term.
While a good winning trade can potentially outperform most losses. Potential draw down or "little" losses may not be so little. You could be looking at multiple loosing days/trades before getting the big payoff which psychologically is not good for most to handle. For an environment like ForEx, the fees and commissions will outweigh the payoff if other conditions are not applied that i had to learn the hard way.
Why I would recommend this course:
You are completely new to trading and don't want to get bogged down with specifics of stock market terminology/concepts and are looking for a strategy to just follow in multi-day trades, And are able to get over the psychology aspects of trading (loosing money) in the short term.
Why i would not recommend it:
You are the type of person that needs a greater understanding of the stock market, it's language and a precise plan. Want to be an active smaller timeframe intra-day trader.
At the end of the day, you have to know what kind of trader you want to be. And the cost of anything is based on what it is worth to you. This course/strategy may be worth thousands in return to some or it can be a lesson learned for others. Mike has been using it for some time and it works for him so that goes without saying.
However, it doesn't work (mentally) for everyone. Although it helped me have a better grasp to the type of trader that fits my personality and want to be at the moment, it was a lesson learned for me and wished i could have used the funds elsewhere.
I hope this review helped some! My best to you in your journey.
Response from Trading Template - Mike AstonDec 7, 2021
Hi Informant, thank you for the great review. You lay out some very good thoughts about trading styles. Meaning- short term trading, like intra-day trading and/or the option to take on trades that could last longer. For example- take trades that last over a few days.
All the things you mentioned are valid considerations for everyone.
On your comment- "you have to know what kind of trader you want to be" is actually something I have seen problematic in many- and that it is nearly impossible to know up front, when someone is first seeking to get into trading. And most don't figure that important aspect out until they get the correct training. Kind of like you acknowledged when you stated, "it helped me get a better grasp of the type of trader that fits your personality". That was very important alone and time will tell how valuable that one insight will become to you.
And it is something that actually evolves as you have more time engaged in the trading world. When I first started, I thought I would and wanted to be a long-term trader. But after I learned how to engage the markets correctly, I realized that style is not for me. I found it is much lower risk and more profitable to trade on timeframes of intra day to a few days.
Also, you are spot on about my thoughts about the "general market terminology", I am very much against most of it.
A profound concept- that some take odds to is this- "Less is More"
For me- when I learned to strip it all down to "only" what is really essential to be "consistently profitable", it was a very happy moment.
And like you said, if someone feels they need to know "everything under the stars" about the stock market, they could easily find all that general stuff online.
And your biggest take away is the statement- it doesn't work (mentally) for everyone. I have been told by many (hundreds) that my approach and teaching style was perfect for them.
And for others, I might be a small but vital link to their success.
As trading successfully is composed of layers of mental insights,
Ultimately, my sincere hope is to help folks change their financial life in a substantial way. And that has happened.
And usually with life, and the things we have been exposed to (like my training course) the truth and power that it has- is revealed over a period of time. And later on, as we start to operate with wisdom and understanding down the road, it is typical that one might not recognize that if was seeded from something before- like "my course".
I am thankful to help you, and if you are interested in providing me your real name (you can email directly on our site) I would be more than glad to get on a call with you to help take you to the next level. It sounds like you are genuine about this trading and I here to help.
Thank you, Mike

This is guy is like his niece just like…
This is guy is like his niece just like to post making money in isolation. Never showed their porfolio how much money they are making money year after year. What a piece of jokes. The best school for trading are bulls of wallstreet and Adam khoo. They show their portfolio month after month. If they are beating s&p, that these two jokers posting winning trades but not monthly report. Just imagine Mike never made videos for his niece how she lost her capital. Also, Mike initial said he only loses a little but after I mentioned that other real professionals lost 10k sometimes or more on his YouTube, all of a sudden he posted how he lost 20k. He even said sometimes it happens to him. I guess his conscience got into him. Due to the fact he uses God to his website. The reason I gave you 1 now. You lied at the very start. I’m so thankful I know how to do proper research but I can’t guarantee i could not make any mistakes. I lost my money on this guy knowing that no clear outcome if he is beating s & p 500 year after year. I’m glad I have found a great mentor who is really transparent and get back what I have lost with this guy.

Mike here writing this reply- I find it so fascinating how many different types and personalities of people there are in the world. Some folks will like you, some folks will not. Some folks will truly listen and learn from you, and some simply refuse to listen and learn. I wish I knew how to "qualify" someone before letting them get into my trading course. There really is no happy ending to the types of folks who "can not be pleased". We all have experience someone like that. In regards to this person, I have had several texts conversations, which are not really the way to communicate- so I also have had phone conversations. If I could figure out how to post all of that to the public, then someone could truly see and hear the complete picture. So unfortunately, I just can not take the time to layout the whole picture on this poor review that I have received. I always have to remember, that some folks will not be happy with anything you do! I have accepted defeat, I can not help this person. I would be guessing what the real main dissatisfaction is coming from? Perhaps, since I suggested they are not ready to trade live, but insisted on doing that anyways.
Or perhaps since they wanted me to just trade their money, and I refused to do that or because they have already taken other courses and simply would not or "could not" see it from another perspective. What ever the reasons, and there are probably many, unfortunately, I give up. I always like the knock on the head the few unhappy souls give me....about me mentioning God on my website. If could just post my emails and texts. I guess they forgot their emails, they wrote to me and closed with.. God bless. In my 4 years of helping people (over a 1000) learn to trade, thankfully I can count less than 10 who I have not been able to satisfy. And for everyone reading this, trading is RISKY! It takes time to learn what to do correctly. And no one can guarantee your success... So please, try not to blame others. I am always open to a phone call with anyone- who is looking into learning how to trade. You can look at the multiple reviews this person gave me.. 3 then, at some point a 4, and now a 1.
Sincerely, Mike

The Trading Temple course is great and simple.
The Trading Temple course is great and simple to follow. I was a person who would say " that's for people with lots of money'' or was very very nervous about losing money in the stock market." I figured I could never do anything with the stock market. This course has changed all that for me. Mike's course has the ability to teach and shift your thinking to engage the stock market in a way I didn't think was possible for me. The course is worth the investment and his insight is invaluable to his students.
Thanks again Mike for all your help.

I would highly recommend this course
I would highly recommend this course - as a technical engineer for over 20 years, it is so easy to get caught up in very technical approaches to trading - Mike is so helpful in sharing some very clear, simple and eye-opening ways and principals that were an absolute must for me - also, his training comes from a spirit of excellence and is a great encouragement to those who need a boost! Guys - I’m making money everyday following Mike’s simple advice!

This Course Works! My "Results" Prove It!
Before taking Mike's course I was fearful of day trading. I always heard it could be very lucrative but I thought you had to have multiple computer monitors, specialized software and
be glued to your desk for 12 hours per day. I wanted no part of that despite the huge earnings potential.
When I came across Mike's intro video I asked myself 3 questions: Do I trust what he's saying? Does he seem trustworthy? And can I quickly learn and apply what he's teaching? The answer was a resounding yes to all 3.
The fact is you can trade from your smartphone, and aside from being highly profitable, it can actually be fun and peaceful.
Mike strips away all the complexity of trading and leaves you with the key fundamentals, that if you practice, will have you making profitable trades in a relatively short period of time.
It's comforting to know that stocks can only move 1 of 3 ways. Up, down or sideways. Once you grasp that, Mike teaches you how to identify the most opportune time to engage a trade, and when to exit.
Mike also teaches you how to lose correctly. Yes, we're all going to lose from time to time so wouldn't you like to lose as little as possible and preserve your capital? Mike teaches that, as well.
I'll say this, I judge a course based on the results I achieve after following instructions and taking action. I have tripled my trading account in a relatively short period of time and I don't even trade every day, or even every week.
If you've tried other courses that were highly complex and left you more confused than when you started, you deserve this course. If you have a smartphone, a trading account and can follow instructions, you can and will make money after a period of practice.
I'll leave you with this. Mike truly cares about his students and their success. He wants and needs you to succeed because that's what his course is designed to do. His course will equip you with an income generating skill you can use for the rest of your life.
I've spoken with Mike on 3 separate occasions and he is very generous with his time and knowledge. He thoroughly answers each question and wants to make sure you grasp the information. He also politely but firmly insists that you practice with a simulated or demo account. He cares about your results and doesn't want you to lose money or try to move too quickly. He's simply trying to protect you from your new found enthusiasm :-)
If you're looking for a way to generate extra income, a full time income or whatever your income goals may be, I HIGHLY recommend Mike's course.
God Bless,
Jason

Mike Aston’s Trading Template Program
My husband and I reviewed Mr. Aston's Trading Template program and made the investment and purchased his course. We believe wise spending is part of wise investing and it's never too late to start.
After watching the video content, Mike teaches an unpretentious methodology in the complex business of the stock market.
His vast knowledge of trading comes across clearly with his years of experience trading the markets. He skillfully and simply educates his charming niece's on how to engage correctly in a trade and what is the key signal to look for to exit a position. He also teaches new students how to trade with his template in the videos as well.
We practiced what Mike taught, set up an online video session with him over a weekend, to certify we are indeed thinking and practicing properly.
Benjamin Franklin once stated, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." We discovered to our dismay we were not on the right path--we simply had reversed a concept in our minds.
Mr. Aston chooses to name the needed trading principles in very unique ways.
It is his own stock terminology- that unveils the real simplicity of trading.
Well, our approach was slightly incorrect. Mr. Aston kindly straightened out our thinking and showed us what we were doing wrong.
He spent an hour and ten minutes with us and that will always be appreciated!
He showed us the correct way of applying our new understanding on a Ford chart over and over again until improvement was achieved.
Monday market opened, we used Google finance to pull up a chart, printed it, scanned it and emailed it to Mr. Aston.
He reviewed our efforts and replied back, "These look much better. You are getting the concepts."
If you are looking for a proven stock market mentor willing to provide personal attention for your success we highly recommend Mr. Aston and his Trading Template.
