Sheridan Options Mentoring Student Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dan teaches you how to trade; not just the mechanics of how options work. I've traded options for over 7 years and have been one of Dan's students for almost 2 years and I can honestly say Sheridan Options Mentoring is the best value in option education today. I've learned more about how to successfully trade from Dan then I thought I would; I was surprised at what I didn't know. Dan has a genuine desire for his students to be successful. I know from personal experience that Dan's long term commitment to his students' success is invaluable. Anytime I've called Dan for help he was there and more than willing to help. Even thought I have never meet Dan, I think of him as a friend, not just a mentor.

I can not imagine a more dedicate trading mentor. Dan lives and breaths options. He is completely committed to the success of his students.
Without his help and lessons I would not be a profitable option trader in a time span of less than 6 months (for me a full time commitment to learn as much as possible).

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!

By far the best decision in my trading career. The personalized, 1-on-1 sessions are catered to 'your' trades, and the sessions are focused on 'why' to adjust at this point, and 'why' we diversify over time and vehicles; not just a canned, one size fits all trading plan, but a personalized coach to review your trades with and help you understand your areas for improvement. The community and trading groups are the biggest asset IMO - People from all walks of life trading thousands to millions, and all passionate about options income trading --

Priceless.

I tried over the years a few approaches to the stock market. I did not have a success.

With Dan Sheridan mentoring I learned and am learning a new approach. Dan is devoted and patient. He structured a system that allows you to learn in your pace and you have almost as long as you need to learn. Big portion of the program is for life.

If you follow what you learned and practiced, your chances of making money are high. The reasons are simple: the probabilities are on you side, you start with the right strategy, you pick the right vehicle and you make adjustments along the journey.

Dan is teaching you to follow conservative rules

Out of all the training programs that I have purchased to learn how to trade (about a dozen), I can say that Dan Sheridan's mentoring has been the only program in which I got a great return on my investment. Dan Sheridan delivered more that I expected. Not only you learn from a Master with over 20 years actual trading expertise, but you join a community of hundreds of active traders that support each other, and share their experiences of real trading in today's fluid markets. This program is all that it is advertised to be, and much more!
Thank you Dan.

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!!

When I got started with the Sheridan Mentoring Program the only experience I had with options was reading about them in books. I had traded stocks a bit and tried to understand options trading but the process was mysterious to me. I joined up with Dan's program after seeing him on CBOE TV and then attending one of his seminars. He breaks it down so even a newbie like myself can understand it... and best of all... after a few months now, I'm making money. Yes. It does work.

I say to my friends, "Dan is like the Tony Robbins of options trading education. He makes you 'get it' and have fun while you're learning it... and best of all, you really will KNOW how to do this." His joy for what he does really comes through on all levels.

Of course, it does require a commitment of time and energy on your part to learn the material, paper trade a LOT and watch a lot of webex's. But hey, you only get back what you put in to it!

It also needs to be said that this is the BEST community of traders I've ever run across. From the mentors to the 'super students' to your fellow newbie students, everyone is patient and helpful. Joining this community will be the best decision you ever make. It certainly was for me.

See you at the top.

I first learned about options trading on TV. Then I attended one of those Motivational seminars were you go to get fired up. There I signed up and for a three day class and learned some basics about charting, and options. I left and got some books on options trading to expand on the basics. After a few weeks of reading I began trading. With just a basic knowledge I was dangerous. I Lost most of the start up capital. That's when I convinced myself "I needed some help". I attended several free options courses where the Sales team encouraged you to sign up for more. Which was a turn off. I found the CBOE Options Institute and there I learned of Dan's Webinars and his program. After viewing all of Dan's programs. I called and learned more about his program. I'm approaching a year with Dan's program and It has made a difference in my trades and life. Dan is your coach he tells you where you need work and what needs to be done to improve.

Options Trader for Life

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.

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.

My initial feedback is that I am extremely pleased with what I see so far. I am on a steep learning curve, and am having a lot of fun. I am confident that this will be the best $6,000 I have ever spent. I am recommending you to all my buddies. You have set up a really great, student-friendly experience. Casey is a real pro, and is teaching me a ton. I am also looking forward to the day when I can trade with you.

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.

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

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."

I signed up with Sheridan mentoring program in January. I had my first mentoring session with Dan Harvey on March 10th. I met Dan Sheridan last week in Chicago. I knew very little about the options before I started the program although I used to think that I know a lot!! Now that I have started this wonderful program, I am beginning to realize how much there is to learn. Like Dan says it, it is a craft that you learn as you practice. I wish I had Dan Harvey and Dan Sheridan 10 years ago when I started trading options. They are the best. Although I have only had 1 session (one on one) with Dan Harvey, he (along with Dan Sheridan and the rest of the mentors) has been teaching me for the last 2 months because of all the archived webinars I watch.
Wonderful program and great community.

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.

I just want to say that Dan is a great individual who cares about educating his students and our success as traders in the market place. More importantly he takes a genuine interest in our learning the craft and not just making money. Many of us allow ourselves to be misguided by wanting to make a quick buck, which is the opposite of what he is trying to instill in us as students. Dan's philosophy is about learning the craft and becoming an expert, or master of our platform and trading techniques while being able to adapt to various market conditions.

Simply, Dan is a fantastic mentor and educator that you can't put a price on. We need more people in the world such as Dan who really care.

Your student...and.
All The Best,

Mikk King

The pluses of Dan's method where the intensive One-on-One instruction and the opportunity to Monitor other student's sessions. I would learn -something- from practically every session. The Weekly Paper Trader sessions were particularly valuable, especially when he would do a 'Summary Session'. Dan's vast experience in the Trading Pits taught me that the Market Makers weren't Out to Get Me... They were just 'minding their Store' - Taking care of their Business - and with his training, I would be able to take care of Mine.

Classes were a 'Finishing School' based upon real world experience and proven Income Generating strategies. He was a Mentor and he was a Friend

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
