Proud to be part of this organization....
It is pleasure to write this review of Base Camp Trading and the wonderful people that make it what it is. Dave is a great teacher/trader with a vast amount of knowledge and experience. He seems to have a passion to help people learn and move forward with their trading.
I would be remise to not mention the support group. They are wonderful and extremely helpful with any items that you need help with, and they do it with a great attitude.
There are lots of trading options out there for people to pick from, but I would strongly suggest using Base Camp Trading. Great people with a tremendous amount of knowledge !!

Love the chatroom (Thomas Chatroom).
Love the chatroom (Thomas Chatroom).
Thomas is very knowledgeable and available to advise. (Very Important for students). He is also very patient with us. I have learned more about trading than all the other teachers I have had. (I have studied from 7 different trading teachers). He is the best in my opinion.

Finally Winning Trades
Hey Dave. I want to thank you for changing my life. I am finally making consistent income. I have been trading options for over 2 years. I have spent over $25 K on other systems and loses. I currently have won 23 straight 11 Hour option trades for an avg. profit of $150 each. These other systems include:
Options Animal, Options Alpha, Power Options, Nasdaq Options Super Star, Traders Agency, Wendy Kirkland, Money Press, Chuck Hughes. Thanks again from an old retired person that has finally found a much needed income stream.

Worth every penny I've spent.
I've used a number of advisors, newsletters, and trading services. Some worked in good times but failed when market corrections occurred. Some kept me busy reading stories about great investments that gained then plummeted within a year or two. Some gave me good quick wins but didn't teach me as much as I needed to understand what was happening under the hood so to speak. None contributed to my broad understanding and ability to make consistent profits like Base Camp Trading has. Thomas, John and Dave have given me the knowledge, skill and experience I needed to get past my weaknesses and make positive gains daily, regardless of whether the market was bullish, flat or bearish. They taught me to stop taking unnecessary risk and helped me hone habits into doing repeatable high-probability trades and defensive actions and when they are not in the trading room, the interaction with other traders throughout the day has been priceless. Now I'm seeing consistent gains daily, even when market indexes are flat or down. Well done guys!

You won't go wrong with Base Camp Trading
Not even sure how I found BCT, but it is the best thing that has happened to me for trading. I have wanted to trade my whole life, now at 60 I decided to put up or shut up. Found BCT, and everything I have learned is rock solid and has given me the ability to make money. There is no guarantee in trading (or life) but BCT has given me the tools to make a business out of this. Being in the room everyday with Dave is a huge help to reinforce the training I have learned. Dave actually trades what he teaches, so we can follow and learn the discipline of trading. Keep up the good work!!!

I get it now…
After years of trying many trading programs and services, basecamp has changed me from the inside out making it possible for me to trade profitably. Thanks to you guys I can say “I get it”.

Dave
Dave, and sometimes, John are the best at what they do. I have learned just a fraction of what they know. The best think about this live trading room is Dave answers the stupidest questions I ask with patience and teaching in mind. If I could gain the knowledge, he forgets I would be a gizillionaire. Thanks

Good service for learning to trade…
Good service for learning to trade options with minimal risk. Learn to identify high percentage trades and manage positions to minimize loss when a trade goes against you. That alone is worth the price of admission. I make my monthly fee back in a couple of trades, and typically make two to four trades per week. You'll get the most out of this if you already have some trading experience and knowledge of reading charts. I've been trading and studying technical analysis for 20+ years, and I've learned some new techniques and things to watch from using Base Camp. Sitting in Dave's trading room for a couple of hours in the morning is time well spent. After watching the instructional videos for the 11-Hour Options trading program, you'll know how to place and manage trades on your specific platform, and you'll see the value of sitting in the trading room. I've used a lot of trade instruction services through the years, and Base Camp has given me the most value of any of them.

Dave's Matrix and 11 Hr trades
Dave's Matrix and 11 Hr trades along with your guidance on a daily basis has been the first service that has really worked for me. Since April 1, 2022, my account is up over 50K. I'm still learning all the in's and out's on the trades, but it's been working very well. I'm still anxious to see if I can get the USTS to work because the daily moves can be frustrating.

Base Camp Trading has truly provided extensive knowledge on the market habits daily, and what to expect. I have successfully closed out for profit over $5800 in spread trades since the end of July 2022. This was being very conservative and could have been doubled that amount. Keep up the good honest effort in helping the smaller trader become more aware and successful!

Base Camp Trading brings your trading experience to new heights
Base Camp Trading provides outstanding intensive training, indicators, customer support, and an extensive volume of articles and blogs about their tools, trading techniques, and use of trading platforms. Also by attending the everyday trading rooms with Dave and Thomas, and Tuesday night sessions with John, one can learn from very experienced traders and be exposed to not only the what but also the why behind initiating a trade, locating a stop, and sometimes even more importantly, when not to trade. You have to put in the work, but having BCT along the process is much easier. My most recent course was the Intraday Trading Intensive course. I'm so glad I found BCT!

Great trading community for new and experienced traders
I have been trading for many years and this has, by far, been the best return on investment. I like the calm, practical approach. The customer support is also very solid. Not as easy to get someone on the phone but email is very reliable. I held off on that 5th star because I think they could do a better job of consolidating their pricing. There are a lot of alerts, workshops, indicators, etc that are a la carte pricing and it can really add up. I like the community and chatter in Dave's chat room, others like the more quiet approach in Thomas' room. Either way, super smart down to earth traders, with reliable programs.

Dave Aquino at Base Camp Trading is amazing.
Dave Aquino at Base Camp Trading is amazing in his understanding of the markets and strategies that are highly profitable. I have been in a lot of other rooms and learning/watching Dave has been an eye opener. His options strategies work and I have been able to apply them successfully and enjoy his room every morning. Thanks Base camp trading.

Great Trading Resource
I'm a new member and although I have been trading for a few years Base Camp Trading has helped me elevate my trading knowledge to the next level.

If you are serious about trading, these are the folks.
Tom, Dave and John O are just the best. If you are serious about trading, the tools and real-time room interaction, and learning price action and momentum, this is the place. I have been with them for three years. They have enabled me to retire with super easy income so my savings grow, not shrink. My retirement has completely changed because of them.

My equity curve has improved dramatically since joining Basecamp! Matrix trades have been excellent! Mid-morning reversals work well. I focus on MQ Momentum, MQVSPro, MQPowerlines, Gravity lines, MQ Trend, and MZT! I trade Micro Eminis and SPX.
