"I felt it was like Legos. I had the pieces. Now I know how to snap them together."   Richard C - Futures Trader
5 Star Rated ​Basic Training:
Speeds up and improves the decision-making process so you can have greater awareness and stronger conviction for deciding where and when to enter and exit the market.

Aspiring traders learn how to align to specific beliefs and behaviors causing information
to be filtered, processed, and applied most effectively. They take away the understanding, knowledge, tools, and support to place and keep decision making ahead of price movement.

Basic Training provides:
  • Aspiring traders with a clear development path and the comprehensive support needed to travel it.
  • Struggling traders with the guidance and knowledge needed to see and fill the gaps keeping them from becoming a consistent earner.
  • Established traders with the insight needed to tap into unrealized potential.
Performance improves as anxiety and frustration (stress) are replaced with certainty, confidence, and commitment. Students gain tangible understanding for how best to direct and support improvement and performance.
  • Approximately 5 hours of instruction is broken out into 4 Sessions consisting of 9 Learning Modules presented through on-demand video recordings so you can tailor your own learning schedule. 
  • Approximately 60 to 90 minutes of reflective work is required after each Session so you can begin connecting more deeply to your work at functional, psychological, and practical levels right away.
  • A live on-line monthly review including  Q & A begins at 8:30 AM CT on the third Saturday of each month so you can keep going deeper into the Intuitive Development process.
  • A 90-Day Reflection Cycle (not included with 3 Month Access - can be purchased separately) begins on the first Monday after completion of learning modules to provide highly targeted direction and guidance to support practical application of the Intuitive Development Process. 

​The understanding, knowledge, and tools developed are universal in application.  By aligning to specific beliefs and behaviors causing information to be filtered processed and applied most effectively you become significantly better at everything you do. 

As a trader your decision-making will get and stay ahead of price movement. You will learn how to build, maintain, and add horsepower to the Cognitive Engine optimizing decision-making and execution. 

Reflections (not included with 3 Month Access - can be purchased seperately) are formatted for printing. You are encouraged to print and collect the Reflections (there will be 60 total) so you can repeat the Reflection Cycle again and again. Repetition drives continuous improvement to ensure decision-making stays ahead of real-time events (price movement) and the ever accelerating rate of change.

"IDT has been the perfect remedy for all my misadventures becoming a full-time trader.

No program has helped me succeed as quickly or as concretely as the Full Year Trader Development Program."
Diana Hayes, Stock and Futures Trader.
