Sheridan Options Mentoring Student Testimonials

Unfortunately with my personal reasons,I didn't get a chance to talk to any of the Dan's mentoring program mentors. I requested Dan S and Tom N to consider me in the next available batch. But, I have been regularly watching the webinars and they are extremely useful as am able to adapt to the current market conditions. I can't even think opening positions (low prob, high probs and other spreads) every month in this volatile market if I didn't have access to the Dan's program. Dan S comes up new trading ideas/strategies from time to time. The program really motivates all levels of traders.

Dan S, Dan H, Steve, Casey, Tom, Chad and many others are great guys. I'm very glad to be a part of this great team.

I'm very positive that I'll do even better once I started interacting with Dan 1-on-1.

Thanks for giving me opportunity to share my opinion.

I have been a student in Dan's program for a little over one year. I am consistently profitable using the methods I learned from him. I was an experienced trader, having day-traded stock index futures in the early-90s, but knew only the basics about options when I signed up for his mentoring program. I am on the lazy side of retirement and didn't want to spend all day in front of my computer, so I was attracted by Dan's suggestion that once learned, this way of trading could take very little time each day. I am happy to say that all of my expectations have been realized well beyond my initial hopes. As a teacher, Dan is extremely upbeat, patient and affirming. I'm always amazed by how he fits his teaching depth to the level his student is on. If you're a beginner, his teaching will be very simple but you'll feel stretched by the ideas he presents. If you're very advanced, he's right there with you, showing you nuances and refinements to your position management style. His overriding theme is that students must approach options trading as a craft. It took me a while to have this concept really sink in, but once I got it I understood that what he gives his students is invaluable. Like the old adage 'give a man a fish and he eats today; teach a man to fish and he'll eat every day,' Dan teaches his students to truly understand options and complex options positions. Dan could simply have taken the easy way out, given his students a 'cookbook' of positions and adjustments and sent us on our way but it's not the kind of teacher (or person) Dan is. Understanding the craft as he teaches it gives the student an amazing degree of flexibility and control over risk and reward. As it stands, the investment you'll make in Dan's mentoring program will give you the best financial returns you'll ever achieve. If you're ready to be finished with market predictions, market speculation as a way of trading, and "1000% returns in 2 days" then Dan is the teacher for you.

Just do it! Without hesitation I have to say that Dan (and this community) is awesome!

I have been following Dan for about 1 year. I attended his trading seminar in June 07 in Chicago, and really liked what I saw! I realized his group was special and decided to enroll in his mentoring program. I became an October student, and have really benefited from my experience. I believe the strength of the group lies in the members, as well as the support of Dan, Tom and the rest of Dan's team. The tools are great,the website is tremendous, and the willingness of the members to share their knowledge and experience is wonderful.
Best option trading learning experience I have been involved with, and there have been many.
Thanks Dan, Tom, Mark, Alina, Chad, Ernst, Steve, Howard, et al!!!!!

For the beginner, Dan has distilled a very complicated area into sets of Rules and Adjustments for each strategy that is easy to understand, follow and apply.
He uses analogies and his unique "Dan isms" to present the material in a language you can readily understand. For example: "Dan says about practicing the craft: "Tiger Woods can take you out on the golf course and show you how to hit a golf ball, but you won't do it. You need lots of practice!"
And "When income option people are like the Israeli air force. As an income guy I am never at ease. I always look @ what should I take off, what should I adjust, what could hurt me?"

And "Income positions are like babies-They are not to be left alone."

Having Dan as a mentor has really opened up my eyes as to how to approach option trading. Before signing up with Dan, I really had no framework with which to apply risk management to my options trading. Thanks, to Dan, this is now firmly in place and is my number one focus when a trade is on.

Before joining the program, all the strategies (Butterflies, condors, verticals, calendars, diagonals) were just that, I had no real understanding of how or when to apply them. With Dan's guidance, this is no longer the case.

Dan teaches you how to pick candidates, assess the risk before initiating a trade and then how to manage the trade.

Dan has made a big difference to my trading.

Ho hum, another options trading program? I don't think so. I learned more about PROFITABLE option trading in the first three weeks of the program than I expected to learn in the first six months. Between Dan's easy going live Web-ex's, and his 22 years of experience on the floor of the CBOE, the knowledge he is imparting is priceless. This has got to be the best buy of my life.

The one thing I really like about Dan's class is that he gives very specific guidelines about what stocks are appropriate (minimum price, minimum IV, IV percentile), what other factors to consider before initiating the trade, guidelines for entry (strikes, credit, skew, etc), guidelines for adjustment, stop losses and profit taking. Every book I've seen is really just "this is what an iron condor is", but not how to trade it and how to manage it along the way. Specifics. A sort of cookbook. I'm an engineer. I'm a very logical thinker. I like rules and guidelines.

With Dan's strategies, I've achieved +8.6%, +9.2%, -3.5%, +14.5% and +10.6% returns on total investment in my first 5 months. That's 39% in 5 months and includes all of my trades, winners and losers both. These results are a testimony not only to the strategies, but to Dan's teachings in money management and risk management.

Priceless.

This has been the best money that I have spent in my market education. Dan has moved me to higher levels than anyone in my educational past. Today I wish I'd had Dan four years earlier. I would have spent alot less on educational costs and my trading accounts would be larger from being a profitable trader for a longer time period. The earlier you start with Dan the better your chances to being profitable sooner.
Dan's mentoring is the only educational program, that I have purchased into, that is not afraid of teaching you what to do when the market does not do what you want it to do. He is there to help you in your trading when you need it, not a week or two late if at all.

I am a former Stock Day Trader that lost a huge amount of money. On the bright side my wife and kids are still with me. I realize that the amount of money that I lost I could have paid to get my BS in Business Admin degree again at a more prestigious university. I decided to spend the $6000 and take Dan Sheridan Mentoring Program. This was the best decision I've ever made besides marrying my wife. My perception of Dan is that he does not only teach you the skills in trading but also truly cares about you as a person. I know that I made a new friend in Dan and plan on making my Options Trading a real business with Dan's guidance. Aloha and Mahalo Randin

Dan Sheridan and Mark Fenton have dedicated themselves to make you a succesful trader. They work with you at your pace and make sure that you have a clear understanding of the trade before entering the pit with the alligators. They go through a pre-trade checklist with you to make sure you know all the risks and how you are going to handle them.It takes a while working with them before the training wheels come off your trading. Trade small, learn the craft Dan repeats over and over. If you don't listen he will shoot you in the foot with a BB gun. Dan has created a community of traders that are willing to share and help one another. It is a true measure of the teacher Dan Sheridan; that students are willing to give back.You will make a lot of new friends, but none more willing to help then Dan himself. It is the best investment you will ever make.

I distinguish Dan's mentoring programs from others by the thorough and disciplined approach to the options trading. Particulary I liked how the trading methodology is linked to the OptionVue, and how adjustments and opportunities are determined. This leaves no space for emotions and brings joy into your life. It would be hard to possess this knowledge on my own.

Even though I am in the financial services industry, and have been trading options for many years, training with Dan has taken my options knowledge and capabilities to a whole new level. The investing approach, along with the mentoring program, is absolutely the best I know of.

I started the program in September of 2006 having done some, but not a lot of, option trading before. Like many I found my newly acquired skills enabled me to make money rather quickly. The key for me about the mentoring program began at this point: I really only had enough knowledge to be dangerous to myself. Dan's consistent message that learning to trade options was a craft that required a lot of work has been borne out over the last number of months. I made a number of mistakes in the months that followed but the ongoing program--not just the initial formal training--but the paper traders, the forums, and the website enabled me to identify my mistakes and begin to become a craftsman. Today, almost 2.5 years after I began the program, I am consistently making money, regardless of market conditions. I am, however, still a long way from becoming an options craftsman but know that the ongoing support of Dan and the team will provide me with the tools to continue to hone my craft. This program has far, far exceeded my expectations.

The Sheridan program teaches a variety of PROVEN option strategies. The seasoned, one-on-one coaching sessions, combined with user-friendly software provide each student with essential knowledge to trade options successfully. The community provides an added, surprising, benefit of positive re-enforcement while learning Dans' ideologies. Reviewing my personal small live trades with Dan and his coaches, along with the access of watching other students trades while they are being coached, is a unique eye opening tutorial. A genuine place to learn this business!!

Dan's Mentoring Program is the absolute best mentoring program I have ever seen. Dan teaches you a way of trading options that really works, and what make the program so great is that Dan truly cares about his students succeeding. The program is extremely well put together and provides all the tools a student needq to learn to trade successfully. Dan is all about the students and making them successful traders....he's never about selling the student another this or that. Dan is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet and what he teaches you about trading options is beyond fantastic.

I first learned of Dan Sheridan from the CBOE website. I was an Investools student, but not making any headway. I started to listen to Dan on the recommendation of one of my trading club members. From the first seminar, I was hooked. I started with his trading income series. Then I attended a live seminar in San Jose. I was stoked after that. After expiration and getting out of the rest of my trades, I started utilizing Dan's methods. I now only trade indexes and don't even look at charts! Well, maybe once in a while.

Dan is so willing to help you in any way he can. He is honest, and shows you how he does it. You can only learn by watching him do it. Minuses are few, but I'm sure many say the same thing, and that is how easily he is distracted. That said, we all love him for just the way he is!!!!

I noticed Dan through his initial association with the CBOE. I was intrigued but didn't do anything to follow up for about a year and a half before deciding to sign up. It was on the basis of his free webinars through the CBOE that I decided that Dan's approach, while "radical" when compared to other teaching methods I had seen advertised, made much more sense.

I traded options for about 4 years or so and mostly followed the tried-and not true methods of buying options, mostly OTM, and some limited spread trading without much formal knowledge

Dan opened my eyes to the concept of treating Options Trading as a business and shifting the focus from speculative plays to income approaches - like any business would adopt. His approach is logical and is well-based in the theory of probability.

Dan is incredibly patient and the Web-based training allows us to monitor the progress of others and to network. Dan's forceful urgings to trade small in the beginning allows for a gradual, controlled approach to learning the basics, and being able to walk before running or falling off the cliff!

I became entranced with options trading early in 2004. Books on options were read, seminars attended, and biases were formed. "Options are stocks on steroids" a seminar speaker assured us. Two years and thousands of dollars later, I began to think of options as "stocks on drugs". Like a child who learns to keep his hand off a hot stove the hard way, I retreated to the sidelines without a clue as to how to consistently make money trading options.

In the summer of 2006 I discovered Dan Sheridan through the CBOE website. Dan's pie graph showing the relative amount of income trades versus speculative trades went right to the heart of my trading dilemma, and I became a student in the mentoring program.

Learning the craft is not easy but following Dan's advice and trading strategies has set me on the road to a profitable and enjoyable trading experience.

I've been trading for years. I was introduced to options in the early 80's but didn't have time to devote to them until 2005. I did some intraday futures trading but the trading hours in Europe conflicted with family life too much. I was looking for a way to trade with long time frames, with leverage and controlled risk. Options filled the bill!

I found Dan on the CBOE website and everything he said made perfect sense. I was anxious to change my trading style to a more conservative, consistent approach. Dan's guidelines and instruction are worth their weight in gold! I did an OptionEtics Masters class and while the seminar was good, you are still on your own after the seminar is over. With Dan, it's a lifetime committment. Dan says we're stuck with him for life! Dan's desire to have his students be successful really shines through. I've never met anyone in the option industry who cares so much for others. By Dan's long term committment, he ensures the best chances for his students to be successful. This is the main separator between Dan and the others. As long as you pay attention to Dan's advice and stick with it, you should be able to learn the craft of option trading.

Dan is very passionate about his income trading & that really comes across with his teaching style.

Dan has helped me immeasurably, both in the big concepts and the nitty gritty. His program just keeps getting better and better each month and I think it's because he and his associates really care about your success and they're not just mouthing platitudes. There's nothing better out there so if you've found Dan Sheridan's Mentoring Program for options you can stop looking and join up.

I can't say enough about this program. I left a very lucrative career as a Senior IT Project Manager for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world to making a MORE lucrative living trading the methods as Dan has taught me. My best month was a 94% yeild but my personal average has been over 20% each and every month over the last 15 months. This includes averaging in those wild months with severe one directional movement where Dan teaches how to minimize your losses and maximize your profits. It's incredible that the average Joe can make a living doing this as long as you know how to do it. I have moved from New Jersey to Alabama so I can enjoy the incredible free time this has given me. I was never able to take golf lessons until now. And I'm only 38 years old.

I love the new format that you have recently posted and I've decided to go through the new program as a refresher.

Thank you Dan

Bloody wonderful!
Hard to describe just how useful this mentoring has been & I've only been going a few short months... the future looks bright for my trading account

It's a combination of Dan's sense of humour & teaching ability, the ever-evolving website and benefits of the program, and the great community that it's all built around.

It's the other people in the program that make this work as well as it does. Everyone shares without ego & everyone else benefits.

If you're thinking about signing up & have even the smallest desire to learn how to make INCOME with options I strongly encourage you to try this. You won't regret it.
