Trading Template - Mike AstonReviews of tradingtemplate.com

Mike's course the "Trading Template" is not a course to get you rich overnight. He explains in all the videos of what issues will arise as a new trader or maybe even an experienced one. It takes a lot of patience and chart time to get seasoned as a professional. I highly recommend getting the more expensive course as it has more material. The bonus material of students trading and trying to shift their thinking will only help you understand the foundation. There is no guarantee of success if you are not putting in the work and practice to get there. I'd highly recommended new traders to take the extended course. Mike has a very interesting way of teaching and knows how to communicate a certain mindset about trading. He expresses his lessons by asking questions that might make you ponder and that is the whole point. You MUST keep watching the videos to understand the whole point of this course. His teachings truly are simple but it the foundation needs to be laid before you go out there and live trade.

I discovered tradingtemplate.com about a year ago March 2024. I had been self employed. Mikes course is very simple. He tells you that in the beginning, but is very very informative. I can’t say enough good things about the course. If you’re on the fence about getting the course, don’t be it’s worth every penny if you’re going into retirement it’s fantastic for additional money or to make a career out of it, the sky is the limit. this course actually allowed me to retire early. Thanks Mike. David Mitchell

I started trading in 1999. That year I took an 80K account to over 200K in a 6 month period. I was hooked! I had paid $10K for the course and I actually sold my business to trade full time. Just to make a long painful story short.....I blew up that account in the next 6 months. Then I got into a cycle of saving cash to trade with, purchasing another "sure fire way to trade" course, learning that strategy, and blowing up what I had worked so hard to save. I did this so many times. My charts had so many studies on them that you could barely even see the price action. I have paid for indicators, paid for fancy trading platforms, monthly trade subscriptions, and out of town seminars just to name a few. I have read multiple books and studied candle sticks, price action patterns, price/volume patterns, and more. Was I just not intelligent enough to get this trading thing? I believed the only profit was to those selling the merchandise and of course to the "Market Makers". I was, sadly, part of the 80% of traders that fail. I have always believed that trading would work for me but I just could not find the right path. How does one become part of the 10-20% who succeed? Now, 25 years later and having already spent $37,000 in training, I saw Mike on a YouTube video. I liked what he had to say, but now at age 68 and near the end of my working career, I was very cautious. All the others said that their way was the sure fire way, but they didn't work for me! Is this Trading Template going to be different? Well let me be frank......The Trading Template is different!!!!!!! Simple, non complicated, any time frame, any instrument. If you can watch videos, take the time to practice as Mike instructs you to do, and follow Mike's method, then you will have the ability to earn whatever amount of cash you want. The sky's the limit. Mike's teaching style is easy to follow, easy to understand, and it works. I told myself just before I signed up that "this will be the last chance for me" I was going to follow everything Mike tells me to do, no matter what. And I did. It did not take me long to realize just how much wrong information I had learned from the other courses. By the end of part 1 in the course, I had no doubt in my mind that this was the way. My mind has changed for the better. My charts are now simple and easy to read. I am not watching profits anymore. I use just one indicator! Mike has taught me how to practice correctly, how and at what stage to move to the next level. His videos are all inclusive of what I needed to learn to be a successful trader. Mike has taught me how to lose correctly. No other class had taught me that. In fact, they barely even mention losing. Now I realize that losing is the #1 skill that I need to master. This is what "turned the light on" for me. More complicated does not = more profits. Mike's straightforward teaching will make you a better trader. And in my opinion, Mike doesn't charge enough for his course. Mark

I’ve been trading (badly) for nearly 5 years now. I’ve done a couple of courses before Mike's also to no avail. I’ve watched the videos like Mike suggested instead of rushing through them. I’d go and apply what I learnt, test it, then realize I needed to watch them some more as my thinking hadn’t yet changed. In the last 2 weeks starting from Jan 7th 2025 being 3 months since I started your course, I’ve paper traded and I’ve made just over $5000. Two trades being $1800 each. Yes I’ve had some little losers like you should and lost correctly keeping the losers small like Mike teachers you. I know I still have more to learn however I am now confident and calm in my trading and look forward to more growth, lessons and success. This is the most success by far I’ve had on this trading journey. I haven’t come close to being this successful and consistent. Thank you so much Mike. The course and trading strategy is actually to simple. I didn’t believe it would work because it’s to simple. I’m happy to say I was wrong. The videos are great and easy to understand. I did get the 12 month extend course which has Mike's sessions with other students and they are so helpful, answered allot of my questions and helped me understand how my thinking was to how it now should be. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me Mike. It has changed my life.

I stepped into trading a year ago, and unfortunately fell into the wrong hands in terms of mentors, ones that get you to trade live too quickly, that have too many subscribers to their monthly payments to their courses so you get lost amongst the pigeons and wait days to sometimes weeks for a response to a question…and I stuck at it for too long, as I felt that maybe that’s how all courses in trading are.. Thank goodness I found my way to Mike is all I can say. He is everything these YouTube / TikTok traders aren’t in all the best ways, and his course really does blow them out the water in terms of the personal time and knowledge you get from him. He will never make you feel foolish for not understanding something, has the patience of a saint, has the best analogy’s going to help you understand things better, but to me, most importantly he has a good heart, and truly wants the best for you and for you to really succeed in the trading world, and this gets proved over and over again with his help and guidance. Thank you Mike for everything! I can’t wait to see where il be in a years time 💛

Hi Mike, After over 2 years of watching videos and even buying courses from the YouTube gurus, I still had not made any progress in my pursuit to LEARN how to trade, not just copy with others said to do. Then in September 2024, I saw your interview on YT and said to myself, this is who I've been praying to find!!! First, I'm in the 50-plus club and at times this younger generation presents information in a fast paced fashion. I needed someone who would teach me how to be self-sufficient in trading. I needed a mentor who would not only help me to understand what I was doing but to guide me through the process. Investing in the Trading Template course has been the best use of my time and money. The extended course was also the right move for me. To see and hear real live calls with your students is absolutely invaluable. You are a man of your word and whenever I reach out to you, I get a response. I'm glad to not have to put my questions in a chat then hope that it's answered at some point. I feel that you genuinely care about me getting an understanding and learning how to trade correctly. Your honesty and encouragement can not be matched! When I have questions now, I don't have to search through YT to find an answer but can reach out to my personal mentor and get the right answer. Your teaching style and materials are simplified in a way that ensures that I get complete understanding. You are not just glazing over topics but to my pleasant surprise, you repeat the concepts and then keep building upon them throughout the course. I'm looking forward to when I begin trading live so that my SIM/Paper Trading success so far, can turn into real money. It's such a blessing to mark up my charts and watch what I've been taught actually make sense. I now understand how to lose correctly so that I can ultimately keep my capital. If I had to sum it up I'd say the Trading Template strategy is Simple yet Effective. Most of all, having a true Mentor is a game changer!! Thank you Mike. Your Best Days are yet in front of you! I'm a proud LOC Trader, Lesley Faichney

Some background on my pursuit of trading- I’ve worked with a variety of so called Guru’s and coaches first starting with Open Trader and the advanced course along with Awais at Eminiplayer, I was a part of FT71 and Convergent trading for a period of time and have spent an extensive amount of time attempting to learn and understand trading the Stock Market. I then went on to work with Tom Alexander in Georgia, Larry Franz Master Coach from Land Mark Forums, and a Master Coach from Tony Robbins in 2020. I then went to study under Bill Busby from Pure Financial Academy and still not having the peace and understanding I felt was needed, while looking online I stumbled across Mike on a podcast and he came off as transparent in the interview and honest in his perspective. I contacted Mike for an interview. For transparency reasons prior to Mike, I’ve blown up about 10 account of various amounts over the years of upwards of over 150K in losses. I blew up one account in the beginning but this is not attributed to Mikes material but old habits, but with Mikes help have since managed to address various issues under emotional management and have had some very significant winners along the way to help stabilize my trading. What makes Mike stand out compared to the other people I’ve worked with. Transparency- He shows his account balance in a number of trades on Tradestation with live accounts of balances of upwards of over $250,000. He shows you his live trades in real time which shows transparency. He’s consistent in his approach, he teaches you how to stop lying to yourself. He doesn’t sell you his course and say ...good luck. Mike has responded to my questions immediately. If your stuck - but putting in the work and have gone through the videos many many times and then need help, he is there to help you get out of your head and figure out what and where you’re thinking is flawed. He teaches from a place of conviction, where other teachers often don’t even trade at all. Mikes ability to see your mental framework is amazing! He’s a man of Principals and Character and without those two things your word mean NOTHING. His passion is helping people figure out the game and profit from the game. Mike has a way of explaining the mental aspects that is just better than anything else I’ve gone through, Including books by Mark Douglas, and all the other teaching and courses I’ve done. Mike shows case studies with live students dealing with their own issues in trading. I highly recommend Mike as the teacher of choice! One final note, I've notice people complaining about making 1K a day and need a $100,000, I have a $2500 account and have averaged $200 a day so do the math and that puts it at about a 10K account. Best regards, Richard

Your text is clear and well-written. Here’s a slightly polished version to enhance readability and flow: Hello again, Mike, I just wanted to take a moment to update you and thank you for creating this course. I’ve been trading for a few years now, and while the concepts made sense to me overall, I didn’t have a proven method that allowed me to consistently achieve success and profitability. Your perspective on using lines of change to guide trading actions has completely revolutionized how I view the markets. I cannot thank you enough for this. I truly believe it is divinely inspired! Your constant references and correlations between our walk of faith and this particular approach to trading make perfect sense to me. I just wanted to share this with you since you were the one who received the revelation of this approach and style! Thank you so much, Mike! May God continue to bless you and keep you in all your ways. ——— N. J.
