Thanks for everything you have done over the period of the course, I know you said many times that you were not sure if you taught the stuff in the best way but I really don't think it matters, your passion for the subject coupled with your concern for our understanding and future sucess far outweighs the lack of snazzy visuals or techie presentations. Thanks.

Course content - Found the content interesting and filled my expectations. Duncan made sure that everyone understood the basic principles and all the risks involved.

Presentation - Although not a professional trainer Duncan managed to get his message to across.

Basing the teaching around Wykoff's ideas is great. It gives the course a ready-made structure. The fact that these ideas are many years old and not original, is not an issue.

Had I read Wykoff's material before, it probably would not have hit home in the same way. The course brought the material and life, and illustrated how to make practical use of the theory using candlestick chart's on a variety of different time frames.

I want to be generating substantial income in a couple of years' time. I reckon the knowledge I have gained on the seminar will provide a very solid base. I fully expect to add my own idiosyncrasies and concepts

I found the course very interesting. I myself have quite a bit of knowledge in the stock market, but this opens your eyes.

I myself like reading books of varying content but I would not have thought of reading any of these books.

For the price of one book it would probably save you thousands of pounds in wasted money.

I found a whole course a great beneficial aid in my quest for trading the futures market. This grounding will probably save me thousands of pounds in the long run on with stops and patience.

Subject completely new, a fascinating insight into the workings of the market and the odds stacked against the casual or amateur operator. Even if I never trade as a speculator I will look with much improved knowledge on any future investments.

The material could have been better organised and documented. There were lots of examples of all conditions. Impressed by examples off real situations in the market over long continuous periods, rather than contrived situations or single day examples.

The presentation was slow and repetitive at tines during the course. Final analysis is that the repetition was an advantage in that lessons well understood and situation readily recognisable. Relaxed style and freedom of movement and topics of discussion of the subject suited me. The break of two weeks proved to be beneficial. Continuous ten days would not have been workable. And while two weeks duration longer than necessary it emphasised the repetition of lessons.

Conclusion - I am satisfied with the results of the course, the money invested in training and the advice received. I intend to continue training through paper trading with the objective of becoming an active trader in the market in due course. I expect to maintain contact with Duncan for advice and help to as required.

In terms of seminar assessment the teaching style is good, and encourages student participation.

Provided you're interested in the markets, it's a fun course.

Many thanks for your efforts over the two weeks of training.

The course was a highly motivational experience which reinforced my desire to learn trading skills and to develop towards applying those skills in the market place. Whilst my objectives were fully met, the discussions also showed me where past mistakes may have been made, and more importantly avoided.

I am determined to review entirely my lifestyle, commitments and past baggage and to prepare myself slowly and carefully to move towards trading activities. My expectation of quick and large returns are not realistic with my existing roles but I am clear that taken slowly the long-term opportunities are within my grasp. The training also corrected and number of basic misunderstandings that I held about stock market operations.

Many thanks.

Well it goes like this!

The accommodation, travel and logistics all fizzle into the oblivion. I have spent the past two weeks being shell-shocked into the reality of what goes on in the financial markets. Most of which spills over into life as we know it. I am grateful to have met a professional who also has the talent to convey his techniques to those people who are genuinely interested. The dedication he has made to stop trading and spend time teaching others speaks for itself.

The method of teaching is ideal for relaying the true thought processes and control of your emotions to succeed in this arena. Ample examples and true-life lessons have been used seamlessly to solidify what needs to be done. As a student I feel empowered to apply the art of market speculation and change my life forever

Many thanks.

Learn To Trade Futures is the title of the seminar that Duncan Roberson teaches. You could also call it Learn to Understand How the Markets Work, Learn to Stop Haemorrhaging Your Trading Account, Learn to Understand Shares, Learn about Market Makers, and off course Learn to Read Charts. Why could you call the seminar all those titles, well simply because that is what is covered and more over the ten day seminar. Mind you, if you think that it was going to be easy you would be very much mistaken.

We started every morning at 9.00am and did not finish until just after 7.00pm, there was a huge amount of ground covered in a day, and unlike when you were at school, if you did not understand anything that Duncan was talking about, you only had to say and he would go over it again until you understood. In fact before the seminar started the first thing he said was don't be frightened of asking any questions, and don't be afraid of looking stupid - we are all here to learn not to look smart or make anyone feel small.

Also don't be under the illusion that the seminar is flash and fast because it is not, sometimes it can be a bit slow and quiet especially when Duncan has a quick check to see what the DAX future or DAX cash is doing or how the DOW future 2:30pm opening is going to affect the DAX, at first we used to wonder what he was doing but after a couple of days we realised that he was teaching us to sit on our hands like you have to do when your trading. Sometimes it was good to have five minutes to digest what Duncan had been saying. After about five minutes Duncan would then explain what he was doing and also his current take on the market.

I have learnt a great deal from Duncan's seminar and it has made me look at things, especially the markets in a different way. Has it been worth the five thousand pounds, to me very much so ; I now have a learners sign for formula three. All I want to do now is work toward formula two, and then formula one and be able to drive harder and faster and keep getting better learning this great business.

If you want to learn how to survive and then prosper in the markets pay the five grand and learn from Duncan who is professional trader, someone who puts his money where is mouth is, its money well spent.

Why have I not mentioned about seminar room, hotel, and food, etc?

Because they're not important.
