I’ve been a member of BBT for over a year now; joining May 1st of 2018, and have never felt the need to seek another chatroom or learning community. As advertised, this is a serious learning community where traders from all different walks of life come to share their trading journeys and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. It doesn’t matter your level of experience or track record of success (or under-performance), all questions are encouraged and every bit of knowledge gained is shared with the community so that we can all grow as traders each and every day.

In total, being a member of this community, I feel has been great value for money, and if taken seriously, will provide you with tools to become a profitable, consistent trader. Consistent being the key word. However, please heed this is not a get-rich-quick scheme, it’s a learning opportunity that takes times and hard work, but as a result, could unlock skills that you didn’t otherwise know were possible to learn or to even master. This is a great place to start or continue your journey as a trader.
Thanks Andrew & BBT Community.

Love B

Hello Andrew and the entire BBT Team,

I would like to thank you all very much for educating me. I recently went live on 15th April 2019 and I am happy that I am trading alright. I won’t say that I have made heaps of money, but I have made a little money with no losses which makes me more than happy. Learning to day trade would have not been possible without you all. Special thanks to Andrew for such great books which makes it easy for any person to understand. Thanks to the chatroom and all the mentors who handle the chatroom as well to keep this community going and keeping it interesting. Proud to be a part of this community.

For several months I joined five trading chat rooms, bought 3 different trading courses and read a dozen books on trading. After wading through all the pot of gold promises, lifestyle hot car videos and promises of success in single equities and single time frames, I finally found a community with real value; Bear Bull Traders.

They are focused on measured reasoning, not wild momentum or unmanageable risk. They show recaps for green and red trades understanding the value of learning from both. They teach how to make solid trading decisions in multiple equities and time frames. The chat community of traders is supportive and accessible. Most importantly, the strategies for technical analysis and trade management they teach prove out. I am now glad to call Bear Bull Traders my trading home base.

I am cancelling my membership today after using Bear Bull Traders and the DAS platform for about 5 months now. With the guides given from the members and administrators on Bear Bull Traders, it is possible to make money from day trading, however you need capital in order to only limit yourself to the highly recommended 3% of your account balance per trading day.

My hat is off to you all trading with 50k to 300k plus accounts every single day where 3% is not a lot at all. For a starter like me, I was thinking I could trade with 5k-10k but even at that rate, the 3% of my account balance would have been minuscule to trade with and in order to pull in a reward (profit) I would have to ace my trades every single day to get into the 50k range and that would have taken years. I also did not know the SEC requires the bare minimum of 20k to trade, or you have to trade through an offshore broker, which to me seemed a bit sketchy. In day trading, you need to have a fair amount of money initially in order to make any money at all. I just didn’t have the initial capital you truly need (and required by law) and the fees for the platform and Bear Bull Traders and that outweighed what is possible to make each month with a small initial account balance like mine.

I do however, STRONGLY recommend Bear Bull Traders to any and all people looking to get into trading that actually have capital to begin trading (25k or more per regulations). I see myself back here at Bear Bull Traders and this excellent and supportive community of day traders, but not until I have more money to invest, and more time to invest. I want to thank everyone in the chat room for your support and good luck to you all.
Best, Ned

I learned about BBT when I purchased Andrew’s book on Amazon.
Andrew is a great trader and a great teacher. Everything you need to become a successful trader is taught by him, but what will determine your success is your discipline, consistency and risk management skills.
He is a profitable trader and is completely transparent to his students, showing that it is a tough profession but it is indeed possible to be a profitable trader if you are consistent.
My experience has been great so far. After a year on SIM, I have been doing live for a couple of months, slowly increasing share size (which he recommends) and I am earning ~1% a day~ 80% days, losing 1% or less on my red days (20%). The month of march I had $30k in my account and managed to make $2.7k. I am still learning a lot and thriving for consistency but If it wasn’t for this community, I wouldn’t be here.
The community is composed of serious members and committed moderators that are always eager to help and guide.
If you want to make a quick buck and double digit returns per day, I would not recommend this community as our focus is long term consistency. If you want to make a decent above average living out of the profession, interact with like minded individuals and have realistic expectations on it, I definitely would recommend Bear Bull Traders.

Resilience in Trading

Today, one of our traders who I met recently at our LA meet up cancelled his account with us. He emailed some heartfelt thoughts about his trading endeavor. I love what Nick wrote and I am excited to share his message with our community.

I tried to do well. I worked harder on this than anything else. I learned a lot about myself. I couldn’t find the consistency that I was looking for. Thank you for all the support and answering all the questions that I have asked.

I really love you guys. I wish you all a fulfilling life. That is all that I’m after. I let a lot of fears get in the way of a beautiful life. And it showed itself in my trading. Paralyses by analysis. I can talk myself out of anything. I learned that about myself during my 6 months of day trading. Last week I stopped being tough. I took the first step to being mentally strong. l told my Dad I loved him and I meant it. I understand now that no opportunity will be perfect. That I need to look for 85% and go for it. I am the kid that doesn’t want to get in the pool, but when they get in the pool, they love it and don’t want to get out. haha.

I have learned that failure is an option. It may simply mean the timing is not right! As I grow, my mental state will become stronger. And down the line I will have less insufficiency and become a great man! I will be confident and ambitious and never afraid to show emotion. I asked my first girl out yesterday. I’ve decided on a path. I want to go to college and be a pilot. If trading is a reflection of your mental state, then a great test would be to come back to this in a decade and see how I do. That would be an incredible reflection of my progress as a person!

Thank you again Andrew and William. I met Andrew and we talked personally after the LA meetup earlier this month while Albert and I drove him to his Hotel in Huntington Beach. I will never forget that. You said that resilience is the most important thing I can have. I’ll work on it. William has answered any questions to me that I ever had and really helped me bring me out of my shell to him. He is a great guy. You two have helped me the most. I am mostly talking to myself in this, but I really wanted to express some gratitude to you guys. Because I think I developed a lot on this journey. And maybe I’ll be back one day. I hope to love everything I do in the future. haha. I love you.

Thank you. I wish you only the best.”

All the best my friend, there is no shame in failing as a trader. The real shame is in not pursuing your dreams. If you are passionate about trading and never try it, then you will live your life wondering what might have been. Life is too short to not embrace new challenges. To take on any challenge in life and fail is very honorable. Becoming a consistently profitable trader can be possibly the hardest thing you will ever do. If you have the courage to take a chance and day trade, that decision will serve you well later in life. The next career change or challenge you accept might be the one that works out for you, and what you learn about yourself in the process will be invaluable.

All the best,

Andrew

PS: I understand why some people decide to step away from trading for a season but want to be able to come back to it at a later time. This is called resilience in life. You fall and you stand up, again and again. That is why we introduced lifetime memberships, so members can take a break and come back again if they are ready. Please enjoy a 20% discount on our lifetime plans by using discount code: RESILIENCE
($1,199 vs $1,449 regular for Lifetime with 3 months DAS OR $799 vs $999 for lifetime access without 3 months DAS)

How do the Lifetime Memberships Work?

We were recently asked by someone about our lifetime membership plans and how they work. Essentially, their question was: What does “lifetime” mean? Whose life? What if I join as a lifetime partner today and in 2 years the community is no longer around? What happens to my membership? We thought that was a very … Read more
