Grab some self-love Hi there, I am Kristof, an average guy from Belgium. I am following TRI since 2017 after I graduated from University, just before the bull run of BTC. I got there with advise from a friend who already did the school program. So I joined the community and I don't regret it. They were helping you when you have questions and gave tips and trics. They don't overwhelm you with 'Look at my Lambo and stuff'. No, they do not fixate on the money but on 'the process' of making money in the long run. Nice things will follow automatically. I'm not going to beat around the bush. The 3 levels are not a walk in the park. They require quite some time (5-8h/week) but I would definitely re-do it again. You can also re-do a level if it is going to fast. No shame about that. Every person has his own pace and obstacles in life which you don't choose. I did level 1 two times because I was mentally not ready for it. Grab some self-love and work on a (financial) future you would like to have. Positive mental attitude for the win ! Good luck with your new journey.

The TRI course is excellent value for money I've taken all three levels of the TRI course and it's great value for money. It's given me insight into trading and investing that I never thought was available. I've managed to make my money back back on the course fee many times over and it's given me the skills to be a profitable investor for the rest of my life. I've recommended it to several friends and family and I will continue to do so for anyone who is actually interested to learn the craft.

I had big hopes but failed I had big hopes and big plans with TRI. I was prepared to listen diligently, do assignments regularly and put in all my effort. At the end I didn't learn how to trade, it's been 2 years since I finished TRI and I don't trade at all. I just know I shouldn't do it because I'm going to lose money. That's basically what I learnt. There's 3 reason that I see: 1) TRI is all about theory and almost no practice - you need someone to look at your assignments (paper-trades) and give you feedback constantly. We were being told a thousand times to paper-trade (which I diligently did) but I failed most of the time and had no clue as to why. The Q&A sessions and over-saturated with additional very complicated information and you get to ask about 1 particular paper-trade which is negligible. 2) Guys that teach at TRI are all fantastic people and I have great respect for what they're doing but they have absolutely no sense about the pedagogy (with the exception of Grim). In other words, teaching is a profession that you study, you can be a great trader and a terrible teacher. Course meterials seem to be organized in chapters but it's all very confusing, terrible slides (5 slides for a 90 minute lecture is utterly catastrophic!), over-saturated with tiny almost invisible text, only 1 example of a concept, too much ranting and personal experience, 80% of lecture time is a waste of time. I'm perhaps too critical because I'm a professor at University level myself but if I tought my students like that nobody would pass an exam. 3) I felt as though TRI was for experienced traders from the very beginning, or at least for people who have a background in economics or finances. I come from a completely different field and I simply can't be in the same class with those people. During Q%A I didn't even understand most of other people's questions. At level 1 I had to learn the vocabulary, I had no idea what Brian was talking about, I made a list of over 350 terms from the field of economics and finances that I had never heard in my life. Brian just assumed that everyone knew the vocabulary. During the very first lecture he kept mentioning something called the 'dot com boom'. I had no idea what that was, so mush so that I wasn't able to spell it in any sensible way to find it's meaning on google. TRI should advertise itself as a course for people who've already traded not for total dummies like myself. It should perhaps create a separate course for beginners and focus on bringing people from point zero the their very first trade with the simplest tools possible. Forget futures and options and shamanic concepts and planet constelations. Teach me one easy setup, give me 100 assignments and check them all and give me feedback. That's how you learn. And last but not least, I am of course myself the biggest reason for my failure because I quit the whole thing after my disappointement - after finishig TRI I did one hundred paper-trades and my success rate was 46%, so basically guessing range. I have no idea how to trade. So, sadly my money's still lying on my bank account after I spend 3,5 K for TRI 3 levels.

TRI is the best way to change your life Before joining TRI, I followed two French coaches who had been students at the institution. This introduced me to and made me appreciate the "Little Old Lady" trading strategy. Learning that their mentor was Brian Beamish convinced me to learn directly from the source. Using the profits earned from this strategy, I enrolled in The Rational Investor, completing Levels 1-3. I found TRI to be an excellent school, especially for beginners in trading or investing. The curriculum focuses on three key concepts: Location, Momentum, and Structure. These foundations are crucial for understanding market dynamics and making informed decisions. Even for those with advanced trading experience, TRI, under Brian Beamish's methodology and with the guidance of its coaches, offers valuable lessons. It's a place where you're likely to learn something new and useful for your trading journey.

In 1 year I have learned so much with… In 1 year I have learned so much with TRI and Brian! I feel like I have skills for the rest of my life that will enable me to make money in the markets. The education we receive is very thorough, we study advanced topics such as Gann, Volume Profile, Options, Point and Figure trading, as well as algorithmic trading and how to create our own indicators in TradingView. I highly recommend TRI, I've made back the subscription fee in just a few months
