Group Question

[Nick Radge]

The mentor course is designed to have unlimited access to Craig and I for personal one-on-one mentoring.

The question I have is what would you pay for the course information WITHOUT:

– the personal mentoring
– the forum
– the monthly call

or in other words, JUST the information within the LMS so it becomes a Self Study version.

Appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

I would maybe look on it another way. There are probably many “quants” that have the knowledge of coding but don’t know or understand subjects like selection bias or any of the other little intricacies that make up the second section of the course. Why not offer the second part to people that want to trade better but already know how to code.

There’s plenty of courses teaching people to trade but they don’t teach how to correctly back test or why this system that produces results of 35% CAGR will never work in reality.

I’m not entirely sure that the course would work without some feedback from the mentors. Otherwise it’s effectively a trading book and those are for sale at $59.99 or whatever those books are going for nowadays in Dymocks

There was,for me,so much more to the course than the LMS…the LMS content was almost like the framework or road map which then allowed me (or guided me perhaps if I continue that analogy) to stumble across all the things I didn’t know that I didn’t know. This in turn required much of Craig’s time (coding) in the first half and a lot of Nick’s time (API/market order types and structure/VPS etc) in the second half. Without the input from the mentors I would not be trading. I would have gained knowledge but not enough to actually trade a system live. So without the mentors…it would be on the shelf with Howard Bandys books..interesting but not a game changer…with the mentors then those thousands of dollars become the best investment I have made to date.

I am trying to say that I think the mentor’s input makes all the difference in a course such as this.

My guess is that 99% of the value of the course is the mentoring and forum.
However the LMS has value.
I could see a product where you sell the LMS as a standalone product and provide consulting . The forum and group calls could be a subscription service.

I would pay 5k – 2.5k (Amibroker Coding) + 2.5k (Trading Course)

The clincher for me would be to walk away from the course with a system that is tradeable.
A lot of courses provide lots of information, but don’t provide the framework to use that information in trading.

Pretty much the same answers as the others. Although the LMS is useful and the foundation to continue, the value is the access to the experience of you and Craig and the ongoing support in the forum.

What would I pay? With hindsight it makes it difficult to answer and I am not sure if it would appeal to me without mentoring, but everyones goals and objectives are different.

Thanks everyone – appreciate the feedback. We designed the project around the mentoring to specifically differentiate ourselves and that’s clearly the main benefit coming across. We’ll stay with that…

We have considered a membership option for ongoing mentoring/forum/monthly call. Still under consideration.

I’d be up for that.

[LEONARDZIR]

I would also be interested in ongoing mentoring.

Not quite half way through the course, but for me, I wouldn’t have done it without the mentoring aspect. The amount I’m learning, especially through the emails and skype calls, is where a huge part of the value is at for me.
