What people are saying about Pristine Trading Labs

Hi Simon,

Thank you again for being my instructor for the Pristine Trading Lab. This was my very best workshop that I have attended.

I have learned many valuable routines that will and have made my trading much more successful.

I am very happy to have met you and that I have attended the Trading Lab.

I will see you again at the Trading Lab 2.

Sincerely,

Kenny S.

Greg,

I have benefited from Pristine training in the past with TPM1, TMP2 and Internals courses. But the most valuable and enjoyable was the "E-mini Trading Lab".

Reviewing main trading concepts in great details was an excellent start. Because most students previously took TPM1 and TPM2 courses, everyone concentrated on how to apply those principles in practice. I really appreciate your patience and your generosity in teaching us the finer points of trading.

Prior to the "E-Mini Lab" many of us felt that the concept of trading support and resistance was clear, but at this course we had learned the "tricks of the trade" (pardon the pun) that were impossible to cover in the basic courses. Showing us how to apply those trading principles during the real-time market sessions helped us to understand many of the concepts better.

Prior to the "E-Mini Lab" many of us felt that trading concepts we learned in TPM courses were clear, but during the Lab we learned in real-time the "tricks of the trade" (pardon the pun) that were impossible to cover in the classroom. Showing us how to apply those trading principles during the "live" market sessions helped us to understand many of the concepts better.

The best part of the "E-Mini Trading Lab" for me was your real-time coaching in the "E-Mini Room". Following your thought process and observing your decision-making was the most beneficial and enforced what we learned.

I would also like to thank you personally for your continuous support, instructions and guidance.

Vera P.

Simon,

Thank you for all of the help, support, and guidance last week during the trading lab. I learned so much from our time together.

Adlai C.

Dear Simon

I would like to address you a few words to say thank you for the interesting lab experience of last week.

I truly appreciate that you somehow "sacrifice" your precious trading time to teach others such as I the basic and more advanced guidelines and techniques to better read and understand the markets and price movements of stocks as well as all the other features and issues which are so fundamental for someone to even have a chance to become a successful longtime trader.

I am very eager and excited about applying and testing what I learned even though, as we have discussed, I will need time to digest, address, focus and experience everything learned. I am still a bit confused here and there but I can tell that things are crystallizing every day a bit more.

I will be traveling the coming weeks (Morocco and Florida) but once I am back in my office in Zurich, I will focus on applying and exercising what I've learned during the TPMs and the Lab1 in the hope to really enhance my self-confidence and skills and maybe visit the Lab2 at some point in the Fall/Winter of this year. And I will allow myself to get back to you with questions or charts/setting studies in the hope that my mails will not end in the spam filter :o).

Again thank you very much for your precious input wrapped in a lot of patience! In the meantime I wish you all the best.

Take good care and receive my kind regards from Switzerland,

Alain J.

Greg,

Thank you very much for allowing me to review the E-mini mentorship.

It has really helped me to hear it again. There are not very many people in this business that cares as much as you do about the success of us traders.

It makes me feel good to be a Pristine customer since we have already invested so much with the TPM I & II and then retakes and the education materials. This no cost retake gives me a great deal of satisfaction with you and all of the Pristine staff and services. Thank you so much Greg.

Thomas B.

I wanted to thank you for the great experience I had in the Las Vegas Trading Lab. I never realized how important it was to time the "perfect" plays with market internals. Your style of teaching with great enthusiasm and with focus on fine details is the type of educational environment that I do the best in. You always spent whatever time was necessary to be sure a student understood the concepts correctly. Also, your options strategies were very helpful and I am looking forward to your upcoming options course. This was clearly the best of the Pristine courses that I have attended.

Thank you,

Bill M.

I have had extensive trading education and without question, The Trading Lab - Part II in Las Vegas and Greg's Online E-mini course are the best courses that I have attended. The Lab made substantial modification to my trading plan which I anticipate will quickly prove beneficial. Today, was my first trading day since the Lab and my chart reading and trade management processes showed significant improvement.

Larry W. D.
The Advanced Trading Lab gave me the confidence to step up to the next level in my trading career. The focus on concepts that are merely mentioned in previous Pristine education is just what I needed. The review of my trading plan during the lab also showed me that I need to adjust my plan to utilize more TPM 2 concepts to improve my performance. This lab exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds!

Bill G.

Dear Greg,

I am sending this note to tell you that after having taken the Online E-Mini Trading Lab from you and previously the online TPM II, I really understand your wise advice when you told me: "I believe doing this, plus the time in the ETR room will provide you the foundation that put the ball in your court to succeed. At that point, you will have the educational material needed. Then you have to work at putting the trading plan that is right for you and have the discipline to apply it".

Now I definitely have a much better picture of what I should be doing everyday in my intraday trading, and a much better idea of how to capture those good short term patterns and put the odds on my side. Although I know that I have to take a slow systematic way toward successful trading and continue working hard to begin to see things in my own way, I really believe if I make a plan of trading and have the discipline and I am patient, I will succeed in this business.

Thank you so much for your support and time,

Jose M. P.

"In light of some of today’s conversations, I decided to send you and email and weigh in on the value of the e-mini trading lab and Pristine in general.

I started trading stocks three yeas ago and I did every single dumb thing a trader can do, some dumb things even twice. Then I stumbled across Pristine on the internet. The first day I logged into a trading room and turned on ESP, I was so lost it was comical. That week I sat down and read Tools and Tactics For The Master Day Trader. Since then I have taken TPM 1 & 2, the E-Mini Trading Lab and the managing your trading business class. Every single class has been productive and made me more profitable. Every class, every lecture, every email has helped me grow and expand so that I can now earn a real living trading stocks and futures.

By far the E-mini Trading Lab really made everything come into focus. It not only taught me about e-mini’s but improved what stock trading I still do. The chat room and e-signal has improved my bar by bar analysis so I actually see patterns and even now understand them. While I still have a long way to go, the interaction with you, Dave and Greg – and others in the room like Steel, has been invaluable.

I took the e-mini course in August and I can now consistently trade the YM and make money. I can not think of any other education for a person who is willing to work, and learn that has the return on investment that Pristine has had for me. I could not make any where nears as good a living with my master’s degree in marine engineering as I do with the tools I have learned from Pristine. And the cost of that master’s degree was a great deal more than all of my classes, subscriptions, and books combined. Pristine is the most valuable education I have ever had.

To close, thank you for all of your help and I look forward to continuing my education with everyone from Pristine. If you feel it would be helpful, feel free to share these thoughts with the room or other pristine students."

Sincerely,

Lydia L.

"Things are going great! I've turned the corner and haven't had a losing month since May. Although not making enough to live on yet, I'm moving in that direction. The next goal is to improve my batting average and sharpe ratio along with raising my risk (R) value, which currently is $100. Right now my batting average is about 40% with a sharpe of 1.6. My plan is in place, but my biggest demon right now is sticking to it. I've never been a very disciplined person, but trading is changing that! I have a good plan that works when I stick to it, but sometimes I will see a pattern that is not in my plan but still looks good and will play it without thinking about my plan. Kind of like when I quit smoking long ago...I had no problem quitting but I found myself mindlessly reaching for a cigarette after each meal for a while, until it sunk in that I quit. In trading I am getting MUCH better at sticking to my plan (discipline) compared to a few months ago. It's just a matter of time to get to the unconscious competence level. Experience and Lab 2 should help me get there. I figure that as long as my road to success keeps going in the right direction, I'm doing well. Even though it's not instant success, I am in this for the long haul...there is NO WAY I'm going back to work for someone else!!!"

Thanks to you and EVERYONE at Pristine!!
Bill G.

"Pristine's Two Week Trading Lab has exceeded my expectations beyond any known measure on Planet Earth.  You have complemented the Pristine knowledge base with an extraordinarily comprehensive lab and has taken Pristine's tactics and concepts to an entirely new level.  I suspect I have saved many dollars and shaved many years off my learning curve with the lab's detailed analysis of the nuances found in price patterns and trading platform execution skills.  I've also learned the vital daily routine all successful professional traders use.  One of the best experiences I've ever had!"

Christopher G.

"The Pristine Trading Lab was a wonderful experience. It is the closest anyone can get to actually trading the market. The emotions are the same - when you lose money it hurts, even though it's 'demo dollars'. But it allows you the opportunity to correct mistakes, or even point out the ones you were ignorant about. The teaching is phenomenal and so is the learning."

Gerald C.

"I honestly was not expecting so much material to be covered in such little time. The Pristine 2-Week Trading Lab has given me the confidence to know that I can pull money out of the market, even as a beginner. I am very impressed!"

Joseph C.

"The 2-Week lab was excellent. It really helped me to get started in my trading career. I learned more in these 2 weeks than I was able to learn in the past six months from studying on my own."

Michael C.

"Excellent course, well given, excellent instructor.  He knows what he is talking about and is extremely helpful and professional.  Would recommend the Lab to any aspiring trader.  This Lab has prepared me for the journey to becoming a Master Trader!"

Paul S.

"For any one out there serious about trading and considering it as a business, this is a must do if you don't want to end up within the statistic of the 85% of novice traders being whipped out in their first year of trading.  My only regret is not to have taken this lab earlier, as it would have saved me from many losses, fears and frustrations."

Sylviane D.V.

"The Pristine 2 week Trading Lab took TPM1 and the RealTick trading platform from the abstract to reality.  I realize now how naive I was to think I might meld both without this step.  So far, so good on my way to a new career."

David T.

"I highly recommend this lab to all aspiring traders. Personally I wish I had taken it 6 months earlier. I would have saved a 20% drawdown in my account. I'm now comfortable that I have enough skills to make a good living by trading although I also recognize I still have a lot to learn."

Rick T.

"Before the lab I was struggling with myself, if the lab is worth the time and money after this week I say it’s worth every minute and every cent I spent to come the long way from Hamburg/Germany. Pristine gave me all the tools to survive at Wall Street and it’s now up to me to increase my knowledge. Next step is for sure TPM2. Every serious trader should take the opportunity of the lab. This is the fasters and most secure way to come up to speed in your trading business."

Jens H.

"By far the most professional experience I've been a part of. Intense training, wonderful people and instructors. The two week lab is a very necessary step for all aspiring traders"

Gregg A.

"The evening before my last day leaves me feeling a little melancholy. The 2 weeks flew by. The Pristine 2 week Trading Lab is an invaluable step that must be taken by anyone whose goal is to become a serious full-time trader."

Richard K.

"An excellent return on my investment of time & money. Intelligently organized, insightful in content and excellently presented. Mr. Murray was artful in his teaching and yet professionally demanding."

Michael M.

"These 2 weeks helped to bridge the gap between understanding the theories and being able to successfully apply and execute those skills to the computer trading vehicle. Pristine's teachings are fabulous and incredible!"

Joe S.

"The whole program was presented with a generous spirit from snacks to lab access to information dissemination & personal interaction. The Trading Lab is a perfect opportunity to discover who you are as a trader & where you go from there. It's not live, so come to jump in and trade!"

Gayle P.

This is just to say thanks to both of you for the help you have provided to me in the past couple of days. I am relatively new at trading the Pristine Method, and have had difficulties in the past two months. You both took time out of your busy schedule to counsel me, a new pristine trader in need of help.

You stressed the importance of being more selective in choosing only excellent risk/reward candidates, especially during my fledgling first trading year. You opened up a whole new world of ideas for me, which I hope to learn more about when you teach TPM2 in Irvine on July 31st.. You both were very encouraging.

This thing called trading can be very frustrating at times. The past two months have been such a time for me. But I'm determined to survive, and to learn. And I believe that with Pristine, it will happen.

Respectfully, Kent T.

“The best and probably the most cost effective way to develop or hone your trading skills – It was like one-on-one training! The instructor was terrific!”

Bob Y.

Hi Peter, just a short note to say thanks for a great bootcamp, I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. It is so different in a trading room as opposed to on your own at home!!

Fraser H.

“Great educational experience. Highly recommended for the novice who has an inkling of getting into the market. The educational process should be everyone’s prerequisite.”

Alonzo F.

Thanks for a great trading lab. I think you did a excellent job, and feel like my trading has moved to a new level. I've implemented many of the things we worked on, and am being very strict about following the trading plan rules I've written into my trading plan. That was a lesson well learned in the lab. My Trading Plan continues to evolve, and is an invaluable resource.

Eric J.

I would like thank you for answering my many questions. Your commentary added a lot of value to the course. I would estimate that over 90% of the written course material I already knew from other Pristine material I have purchased and studied intensively. I would have felt very differently about sitting through the course and paying the fee without your practical insights.

I also have to say I was pleasantly surprised at your ability to present so professionally. Pristine is fortunate to have you as an instructor.

Vic A.

It became painfully clear to me after completing the trading lab that I have been trading in the markets like a pilot flying in heavy clouds without an instrument rating. The latter kills one while the trading kills anything one might have in the bank. I have a long way to go and a tremendous amount to learn, but thanks to you, I am on the right road with the right tools. Thank you for making yourself available and for having the desire to teach and to share your own knowledge.

Dale J.

This was the most outstanding class I've ever attended. The content was excellent and the application of knowledge and trading techniques was masterful. I can't wait for Monday.

Ron H.

Peter

I wanted to wish you and the rest of the Pristine Family the best for the holidays. I also want to let you know that your class was a great help and my trading has been profitable ever since.

Paul H.

...First off, let me say what an honor it was for me to be in a class of such astute men/traders. It was the most intense and educational 10 days of my life...

Ronnie R.

I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I enjoyed and learned in the Trading Lab with Peter and I should also include Aron in White Plains. Peter let me stay and most of my days were 7:30-11:30 and I think that speaks for itself about the staff at White Plains. I can't express how much I learned and look forward to learning in any classes that Peter or Aron may be teaching in the future. I do continue to mention Aron because while Peter was on a tight schedule with the coaching program presentation, Aron was always more than willing and very helpful with any questions we had (and we usually did), and before going to back to manage his positions I'm sure he had open during the market hours he would ask if we needed help with anything else and was more than willing to take what ever time was needed to explain anything that we did not understand. I just feel that this speaks for itself for your staff at White Plains. 16 hour days and everyone willing to assist in anyway they could.

Thomas W.

First of all, I'd like to thank George, Peter, Scott, C.C., Brian, and the whole Pristine staff for making the best of a week when we have all just witnessed the most terrible tragedy of our lifetime. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we in the Trading Lab were taken care of and made the best of our time. Even though we were unable to trade, I have already received well more than my money's worth, and we still have another week to go. (Just looking back at 2 trades I made the week prior, half the cost of the Trading Lab would have been covered if I applied what I know now to those 2 trades!) To top it off, we were all offered the opportunity to come back and repeat the Trading Lab at no charge on a space available basis, so we couldn't ask for more. Should I ever decide to work for someone again, yours is the kind of organization I would be proud to be a part of.

Thanks again to yourself and all the great people at Pristine. I continue to grow as a trader in orders of magnitude through the use of Pristine's services, and plan to continue my education for the rest of my career. You and Greg must be incredibly proud of yourselves and your staff, as you are all not only exceptional traders, but more importantly, you are extraordinary human beings.

Thanks and God Bless,

Jay C.

...My personal growth over the last 8 days I spent with you, John and the crew left me pinching myself, wondering if what had transpired over that time was real. I looked at my trades and I realized it was.

I started to get glimpses of what a profitable trader experiences, thinks and sees. I think I stand a greater chance of being a consistently profitable trader after the time I spent/will spend with you. I can t wait to get back to the room.

Call me Mister Sector and Relative Strength from now on. Thanks for your patience when I persisted with pushing you a little further on the discussions on the charts. My eagerness can be a little overpowering.

Yesterday morning I promised my wife I would only trade for the first hour. I switched on CNBC. Saw RIMM pre market. Aha a Gap up candidate. Great! My computer wouldn't work. Agghhh. I got it going at 9:35. Saw RIMM powering up. The futures started to fall, Rimm stalled at 28, checked the futures, falling, great, short 1000@ 27.9, didn't get filled, Don t chase the move Aidan, Rimm had an up tick for a second, bingo!!! I m filled, TIMBER!!!!! Down she fell first support 26.5, ready Aidan, cover 26.4. I m in the MONEY!!!! My first GAP and Crap, Yihooo!!

Oh no the futures are basing!! I want to trade, AIDAN THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND, WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION!!!! 11AM Brenda came in, come on you've got to help. I leave my station. Family first!! I come back to collect her cases at 1pm, I do a quick scan and see QCOM, oh my god what a chart!!! It's setting up, I'm ready to press the trigger, AIDAN!!! WHERE ARE YOU ?? COME ON!!! I had to leave the trade!!!

I love this profession!! George you've helped me so much, Mucho Gratis!!! Merci Beaucoup!! Hasta Bidante!! Terima Kassi!!! MANY THANKS!!!

I'm enjoying your tutelage so much. I've got good at keeping stop losses, so from now on I've a daily $500 stop loss on my self with a promise to keep all money under $500 profits once gained, and if I have a better day great and if I don t I still go home with green every day. Little by little!!

Have a great weekend George, if you ever question the value of what you're doing, please think of me because I can honestly say you've played and will play a major part in the well being of my family and I.

Your friend, Aidan

Just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. If that was any preview of the sort of patient, articulate, astute teacher you are...man, I'm in for a hell of a good training process! I learned as much from your demeanor as I did from your actions. Fantastic. I'll probably pester you at least once a week until the In-house training program begins, just to keep myself in your sites and remind you that I've got that hungry tiger growling inside. I'm completely ready to soak up the knowledge. And for the tenth (but probably not last) time I reiterate the point that I would love to get into the Pristine Training room as soon as possible. Yesterday confirmed what I already suspected--just being in that environment has an amazing effect on a trader's learning curve. So please, let me know when something opens up.

In the meantime, happy trading to you. Today you'll probably be able to concentrate a bit more. I look forward to working with you. Peter K

Hi George,

Just a quick note to say thanks for a great day today. I experienced a major milestone in my life today and you're an inextricable part of it. I learned so much from you and you have set a high bar for me to aspire to achieve in professional courtesy and masterful trading.

You have a customer for life and if I can ever do anything to return the compliment, please ask and I'll gladly oblige.

I wish you every success with your trading.

Good luck and good wishes

Aidan

Thanks,

I wanted to thank YOU for everything you've done for me in the last few weeks. I learned more in the last 23 days about trading and life than I had in the previous 5 years thanks to you.........and I am eternally grateful. It is an absolute pleasure and honor to have the opportunity to work side-by-side with someone of your caliber and stature. Believe me when I say this....you are one of the most incredible people I have ever met in my life

Peter

In this loser's game of stock speculation, I note that through Pristine Trading Lab I finally was able to establish my own trading Routine, a right habit, before I strike. With the Routine, I feel that I am eliminating many of unconscious habitual mistakes, and what not to do.

Many books say loudly and boldly "Keep the rules." An active trader aiming after a greater success simply doesn't have time to even recall what rules are when he strikes. Therefore he simply has to be trained to keep the rules in the form of his trading routine - not through cautious thinking.

Now I see more of the crowd's emotional extremes and then I strike spontaneously. I also see more improvements that can be made in my trading method and now I can go back to the book and tapes to make myself firm on the basics.

I am looking forward to meeting you again soon,
