Trading Template - Mike AstonReviews of tradingtemplate.com

To anyone on the fence about this course, I would say to go for it. I decided I wanted to learn about trading over a year ago. I didn't have a background in finance, so I researched with books and YouTube videos. Throughout my research, I found some good information and learned some of the functions of the markets; but mostly found a lot of gurus with promises and products to buy. I’ve had to learn many potentially dangerous skills throughout my life in construction and when earning my pilot license and various ratings. Learning these skills showed me that a good instructor could teach me the best practices and how to stay out of trouble. Knowing that 80% of people who start trading lose all their money, the need for training was obvious to me. I found Mike’s videos on YouTube, and he instantly stood out to me as what I was looking for. After talking with Mike on the phone, I signed up for his course. I found his lessons easy to understand and his methods easy to apply. I am now practicing live trades on a simulator, which does take practice; but as I improve on the simulator, I know that I am on the right track and that I am preparing for the day that I will be using real money. I can only say that I found Mike to be honest and helpful. His course is worth the price, and is a great place to learn exactly what you are getting yourself into when you get started in trading. Thanks, Mike, for everything!

It was nearly 2 years ago that I purchased Mike's program (3/20/18). I went thru the whole program and wondered if it would help me in crypto currencies. When I asked Mike this question, he confirmed that although he developed his program as a stock market trading system it could equally be used when trading cryptos...he was correct. Really anything with a chart the template can be applied to in predicting future movements. The reason I was focusing on the crypto market was because it didn't have the ridiculous $25,000 trading account (PDT) requirements of the NYSE...but my long term goal was to one day save enough to trade stocks again. Fast forward 22 months, after being out of trading for a little over a year because of a major back surgery, I was praying that God would provide me a way to reach or get around the $25,000 limit for trading...the next morning the Holy Spirit reminded me of Mike's course. I wasn't sure why, since the NYSE still had the same account requirements. So I decided to checked out some of Mike's newer Youtube videos, to see what he was up to. During one of his videos I found him discussing Futures accounts and the fact that they didn't require the $25,000 account balances. Thank you, Lord! That was the open door I was looking for. I started restudying Mike's program and reached out to him for initial support. It is if I had purchased his program that day...Without missing a beat he jumped into providing his perspective on how I might find success. Mike is an honest, stand up guy. And a great teacher. I have traded (off and on) for over 2 decades, I've made some money and lost money....it wasn't until I did a deep dive into Mike's theories on trading that the lights really started coming on. I committed 30 days to paper trading....scalping, shaving, swing and 5 day trading....his templates work in every time frame. I have found that the scalping ($30 to $50) per trade, with an average of 75 to 100 trades per day works (but it is exhausting). It makes my brain hurt after a week of nonstop trading. But it could be profitable, if that's your thing. I personally enjoy working the 7pm - 10pm plus London market open (3am EST) until noon (NYSE) and then 2:30pm to close...it makes for a very long day...but when you're successful (even at 56 yrs old) the lack of sleep doesn't bother me much. I just wish I had found futures years ago. I started with a $10,000 account on NinjaTrader (discount brokerage with lower margin requirements), but I also use my Think or Swim platform at the same time. Mike's system is all over my charts and gives me the entry points I'm looking for. I do believe God is using Mike to help people! I know one thing, it's changing my financial life. And paying Mike $1000 for his expertise was a drop in the bucket compared to what it will return. Mike is a perfect example of the scripture (Jesus' own words-red letter) "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." I bought a tree from Mike and he helped me plant it, taught me how to feed it, how to take care of it. Now it's up to me to give it what it needs, and harvest the fruit. Thank you Mike!

I was a ‘professional’ full time daytrader from 1993-1999. Life took me in a different career path from there, but I always knew someday I would get back into trading for a living once I was able to semi-retire. Fast forward to 2019 and that time to trade finally arose again. God led me to a man named Mike Aston who was in a network associated with my wife. I was/am an owner of a successful real estate investment company. Mike an I had similar interests, so we connected a few times for lunch. Once I found out Mike had been successfully trading for the last 20 years, and just put together a program explaining his methods while teaching his nieces to trade…I knew I had to buy it. God led me to him for a reason. It didn’t take a prophet to see that right when I’m in a position to start trading again, I’m introduced to a man who has had continued success and is willing to share his system! Mike has a special gift at not just simplifying a complicated technique like trading, but more importantly has a gift of clearly communicating the importance of your thinking, and how to change your mind. It’s like getting a trading coach, and a head coach all in one! It will be challenging at first for most experienced traders (including myself), who have bought into every analytical system, technical trading methods, news propaganda, etc. to let go of these ‘indicators’ and simply believe in this one simple method. But there is no debating it, once you see it work over and over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Mike’s (or any) system will work 100% of the time. That does not exist. But it’s a game of probabilities, and Mike’s system will put you on the winning side of the equation. In my opinion, this program is a MUST have for anyone who truly has the desire to be a consistently winning trader (and not an analytical geek 😉)! – Scott Dale

The first thing you need to know is that Mike Aston is a straight up guy. When I have wanted to talk with him both before and after purchasing the course, he got back to me immediately, answered all my questions, and has been generous with his time. Mike is a man of Christian faith, and it’s obvious when you talk with him that integrity is high on his list. In some ways, Mike’s course may be the opposite of what you expect, and that turns out to be a good thing. If you’ve looked at the kind of training most people are selling, it’s built on the premise that you need to learn a thousand technical things to trade well. The genius of Mike’s approach is that he admits up front that what any stock does is completely beyond your control, and he teaches you how to give up that illusion of control, instead showing you how to change your mindset so that you can respond to what the stock actually does. Mike will show you how to avoid losing all your money through having the wrong mindset, what to look for in good stocks to trade, and his system for determining when to get into a trade and when to get out. You’ll have to learn, and you’ll have to practice, but Mike will give you the tools. I’m still in the learning and practicing phase, but I can’t believe what I’ve learned so far. As a beginner, I’ve made some good trades on the simulator platform, and I’m seeing the truth Mike teaches in my mistakes. I’m optimistic that I can grow into some of the success Mike’s been living for a long time.

It is a great course! I continue to go back and use what I’ve learned from this course to help with all my trading. Mike is great !

I previously left a review on Mike’s course (Trading Template) a few months after I went through it. I have been simulating trades for over a year now, and wanted to leave an updated review. After simulating the market with Mike’s concepts and techniques for many months, I constantly have people ask me. “When are you going to put real money in it?” When I first bought Mike’s course— for what I believe is a BEST Deal for a course of it’s caliber—my first intention was to go through it and start trading full time a month later. After taking Mike’s course and grasping his teachings, I realized my thinking was all wrong—not saying that trading a month later isn’t very possible, because with Mike’s method, it’s so simple, that it could very well be possible—it just wasn’t something I weighed to be wise for me personally. So after a year, I am still practicing the concepts and little by little becoming more than a “nervous-wreck trader” who can make good trades, but instead I’m becoming a very comfortable trader (also making many good trades). Which means I can see me being my own boss in the near future without all the stress that comes with it. That alone is worth buying his course! The course is extremely informative, and is the “FULL puzzle”—it’s not one of those courses you buy that has pieces of information where you have to buy another course to find out the answers. Mike is an honest, and godly man, who puts God first in his work—you can definitely gleam that from his course and talking with him. People who think Mike’s course is too much just don’t see the value in it. I believe it is underpriced. Mikes course is worth Way more than it cost! It is very possible if you put the effort to understand what Mike teaches, that you could work comfortably from ANYWHERE! (As long as you have internet, ofcourse). I highly recommend his course! And appreciate all the time he has put in to helping me become a comfortable trader for when I put real money on the line—whether or not that is this year or 3 years from now. Whenever that is, I can guarantee you that this review won’t change! God Bless! -Joshua Caleb Biggar (A student of the Trading Template)

I wanted to take a moment to share with others how Mike's Trading Template has impacted my life. I have almost always worked more than one job. I have also owned rental properties for about 28 years. My vacations consisted of working on my apartments or increasing my hours at my second job until about three years ago. I purchased Mike's course and watched the videos about three years ago. After completing the course I was excited to make a lot of money. I began trading while at work and on vacations. There were times I was successful, but more often I was distracted by work or other things and I was reckless because I was focused on making big money. In the first few months I lost a considerable amount of money and was frustrated. I decided to watch the videos again. I realized that I needed to work on keeping my money and stop trying to get rich over night. I decided to only trade when I was able to give it my full attention. I also set realistic goals for myself. In the beginning I set a goal to make $100 a day. I was now satisfied with making trades with gains of $20 - $50. This soon became easy. It was not long that I was increasing my daily goal to $200. After a while I no longer had a daily goal, but I had trained myself not to be greedy. For the next couple of years I traded part time when I could and my focus was on learning to trade and keep my money. This past December I retired with a nice pension and sold my rental properties. My objective was to start to enjoy life before it is over. I started to trade full time, which is about 2 -3 hours a day. I listen to music and drink my coffee while I trade and I have been averaging over $1000 a day and sometimes much more. This has changed my life and my wife who is a teacher is going to work with me this summer to learn to trade with the goal for her to quite her job and do this full time. I can only imagine how amazing our lives will become. Thank you Mike, you have given me the opportunity for a life I could only dream of.

WHAT THIS COURSE IS...AND WHAT IT ISN'T This course will teach you how to protect your capital. Know when to enter and exit a trade. How to trade comely and change your thinking to loosing money correctly. 80 % Of traders fail. By following and applying this course it will give you a fighting chance in the trading market. If you have questions or concerns you can call or text Mike and usually responds promptly. What the trading template isn't. If your looking for a step by step program to take you from a newbie to placing your first live trade on a platform, It will not teach you about the types of orders, how to place a trade, about the stock market or the many hours of learning to use a trading platform. There is so much more to learn before the probability of making a $1000 a day. Mike has a lot of years trading experience and knows a few things and is a good teacher...however a red flag popped up after papertrading, when going to open a live trading account. Mike teaches you to follow the king, switch your position as often as needed to stay in harmony with the direction of the market. The problem is when you open a live account with a broker you need to maintain $25000 or more to keep from being penalized. PDT Pattern Day Trader. You are only allowed to execute 4 day trades in 5 business days. You may have to change your position 4 times in 1day. As long as you maintain $25000 or more it's not a problem. So I am a little disappointed that Mike doesn't give you a heads up knowing that many people that purchases his course will not have $25k to trade with. If anyone knows a way around it, please share. I would have given 5 stars but knocked 1 off for not teaching you the other aspects of physically placing a trade on the market. Star 2 because $25000 is a major hurdle in my opinion for many folks to overcome.
