WHAT PEOPLE SAY

  • “My experience at IOTAF has exceeded all my expectations. Regardless of my lack of economic or financial background, IOTAF has not only been able to give me a strong understanding of the fundamentals but also provided me with the tools to grasp a deeper and more insightful comprehension of markets as well. Everything learnt, in theory, is then reinforced and fortified by the real-life applications of this information to the current live markets, and you quickly develop your own analysis of markets and thus eventually leading to your own style of trading. I attribute the success of the IOTAF program to the truly unique and exceptional instructors here. They have a very professional yet personable and hands-on teaching approach. They happily share their expertise, knowledge and insights as professional traders, and they are deeply committed to the success of each and every one of their students. To me, IOTAF’s endless support, exceptional tools and expansive resources are truly unparalleled.”

  • “Before taking the IOTAF Master in Trading Course, I thought I knew a lot about trading, but I had the knowledge of a retail trader only. At IOTAF, they gave me professional level knowledge. No indicator or any strategy you’ll find on YouTube will ever beat the best tool you have in your toolbox; that is yourself. Now that I know how the real money trades the various financial markets around the globe, I can finally be part of it. I’ve even been hired by prop firm Ocram Capital as a trader.”

  • Life-changing course (MIT program). You are taught everything you need to know to trade like a professional. I spent about a year trying to learn from various online courses and video tutorials but they will not teach you what you learn at IOTAF. Not only are you taught the proper technical and fundamental knowledge but also the proper risk management skills that will turn you from a fish into a shark.

    They also have a ton of awesome resources available for students and traders alike. Their best resource though is the teaching staff – they are all expert traders that have been profitable in the business for years (decades for some). They are all ready and willing to mentor you so that you can become the trader you want to be.

    Highly recommended.

  • Before signing up, I went to one of their open houses to learn more about the Master in Trading MIT program. Off the bat, I was impressed by the broad knowledge of the teachers about markets and how they work, but what really got me hooked was the idea of a lifetime membership in a trading community, where I can get help whenever I need it. Becoming a trader is a long process and having access to experienced mentors is reassuring. It’s been almost a year that I graduated from MIT, but thanks to the IOTAF community, I did not cease to learn new things that helped me develop my own personal approach to trading.
