What’s concerning:
The Trustpilot review patterns (many single-review accounts, very similar positive language).
Lack of strong, independent success stories with performance verification.
Trading courses are often marketed with motivational language rather than transparent performance stats.
Response from Trading Template - Mike AstonFeb 23, 2026
This is an interesting review that has nothing to do with me or my educational site. It is some unknown person who has nothing better to do than post something about their likes and dislikes about marketing in general. I did request twice for them to see if they in fact were customers of mine. NO Response either time. I then asked Trustpilot if it could be removed, since it really has nothing to do with a genuine review. Their reply was basically- no!
My thoughts are - People come here to hopefully hear real testimonial involvement with me and my teaching style, not to be bogged down with random nothingness post.
I suppose I will have to be thankful this doesn't happen that often.

Appalled
Personally Mike was a friendly guy when we spoke once over the phone. My review has nothing to do with him personally, but more so on the business side of things. I feel that the course is a complete ripoff. As bland as the course is it’s very confusing to me that he didn’t give life time access of the information. Once purchased Mike only makes the course material available to you for 4 months and it’s gone completely. To only be taught about Trendlines is insane! Although, I do understand that there’s resources for one to save the information but what if some of the students doesn’t have the luxury to do so or even know how. I ultimately feel for what was taught I learned more from YouTube. I would definitely save my money, and go elsewhere.

There is no guessing to why someone gives you a low score review- They are unhappy! And perhaps even slightly angry. Well, the first thing I do is go look up the name on my student records.
I could not find any name or even close to this person's name! So, are they even a real student?
But since they said they spoke with me, I just want to believe they are.
So, the two parts of their unhappiness, my business model and the material taught. They did say I was friendly! Thank you for that.
To address the concern--
I don't really know what say about my offering of a 4-month course or a 12-month access course. That is something that everyone agrees to before they can purchase my programs. There are just many reasons my lessons are available for certain time frames. Too much to discuss here.
I do always recommend, if someone's budget allows, that they try to get the annual program. Simply because it takes time to rewrite our mental behavior in order to engage trading correctly. Everyones life is zooming by with many distractions. And the 4-month time frame can just fly by, if we are not really staying with the task.
And we all know life happens with our busy schedules, another reason I recommend the 12-month plan.
So, if someone wasn't diligent to really study the course lessons, and they see that the 4-month time is up, yikes, that could mean they want to get mad and blame someone! Guess who gets blamed!
And then let's just throw mud at the lessons also. Humm?
So, what to do with this person?
If you (unknown to me- Tayler B.) are willing to get on a phone call again, I will do my best to see if I can accommodate you and help you. You can find me on my website - tradingtemplate.com
Please, I genuinely am interested in assisting anyone who truly wants to try to learn trading. Of course, it takes great determination to get a comfortable feel for the trading dynamics, and it simply takes TIME!
I am saddened that you are unhappy, but I know, and you know I have not done anything that would warrant a meager 1, So please I urge you to send me an email and let's see how I can make this acceptable to you. If Possible.
Please contact me!

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

Advertises a lot. Unregulated. Anonymous
Advertises a lot, but does not give his address and there is no validated information or regulated activity.
But responded within a few hours of me writing this with two 5 star reviews; probably written by himself as are many of the others.
He's very good at self promotion and what I believe is an expensive scam training course which will lose you money as do all similar courses.
I try to expose these type of courses as I have been caught in the past

Dont Waste Your Money on his Course.
The course is just general stuff. Nothing specific. You can get that content from any one or that kind of general advice on YouTube or udemy.com
Save yourself more than a thousand dollars for the course. Just google udemy stock trading and you will get lessons from $11.99 and at least you wont spend more than a thousand dollars on general stuff when you can find better courses on udemy or any other course platform with thousands of reviews.
He talks about his nieces learning. Remember, his nieces are not going to marry one of us. And it is very commercial of him to use his nieces in his videos. Frankly, do nieces even matter when he does not have anything to teach you.
He covers his back every step of the way.
Remember, he has to sell his videos which again I repeat are just general stuff to 10 people per month I guess and that means he makes more than $10,000. That is a very conservative estimate.
He says he does not go on circuit to teach and he made homemade videos. Let me tell you that he does not have to go on a circuit because he is selling the course online which are prerecorded courses. That means he only has a one time cost of making the videos. Then he makes at least $10,000 per month sitting at home. He says that he has the cost of hosting. Hosting plans cost few hundred dollars per year. That means for few hundred dollars of investment, he is making few hundred thousand just on videos per year!

You have the word of a snake oil salesman against mine. You have a choice to believe a man who is misusing the Lord's name or you can believe me and save yourself a ton of money. It is your choice.

Wow, this person doesn't care for me. First thing I did was lookup John Smith in my students section. I did it twice, NO John Smith.
I was told that when you chose to go online in a business fashion, like I have with my teaching,
you set yourself up for all kinds of remarks.
Among all the good authentic comments that I receive from REAL students of mine, there will be some folks that just are not happy with things in life and will try to speak ill of you. Like this example.
Not even a customer! How sad.
My flesh thinks to respond one way, but the Spirit in me - keeps me remembering- many scriptures like:
"Do not repay wrong for wrong", and " Forgive those whose have sinned against you" and "Do not bear false witness" and many more.
In keeping with that, I hope the best for this unknown (to me) John Smith.
May God bless you in great ways,
Mike Aston

Dear Sir,
I'm sorry you were disheartened with my intro advertising clip. May I suggest that you watch the few other videos I have on my site to really get a clear picture of what I'm trying to communicate. I'd like to extend to you, as I do for everyone considering enrolling in my course, to get on a phone call and address all of your questions and concerns.
I do feel I need to address some of your stated points. Your first point on needing at least $100,000-$300,00 to trade, is thankfully not correct. If you'd like to see more information and clarification on this, you can go to my FAQ page: (course.tradingtemplate.com/p/faq)
As for the other points, I'm not sure where your percentages of who's successful or not came from, they are also thankfully not correct. I am appreciative of your input in making sure I am walking the straight and narrow. I see that you are a God fearing man so I know your intentions are good.
Sincerely,
Mike
