INSTRUCTORS

Hany Labib has been involved in the Futures Industry since 1977. He holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University as well as an engineering degree.

Hany worked 12 years as a trader with major Wall Street firms, winning the "Chartist of the Year" award. He was also a brokerage firm owner for 7 years.

Hany has been mentoring for 6 years and his students testimonials can best describe the type of service Hany can provide.

Testimonials;

• "I want to say thanks to PTA and Hany Labib for this course. It's so easy and Hany is always there if you have questions. I'm a farmer raising corn, soybeans, cattle and hogs in Iowa. In my business, I use the markets for hedging purposes. If I am short - hedging a crop - and a buy signal comes up, I use that for a stop to get out and to protect my position and that has worked well. I also do spec. trading and have done well. I found out with this program that you should wait for the market to do its thing instead of trying to guess what's going to happen. Thanks PTA! Thanks Hany!!" Brad M.

• "My best friend, my boss, and my parents were all adamantly opposed to me entering another trading program. However, in all my years of studying the market, one thing I've learned is that you listen to the experts. Don't listen to people who haven't succeeded in a field, if you want to succeed. Would you talk to someone who got last place in an Olympic race about why winning is impossible? Pacific Trading Academy has an awesome Better Business Bureau record, and Hany's background in trading is second to none! The best financial decision I ever made was taking Hany's commodities trading course. I went from $10,000 to $18,000 in two months of trading. The three month mentorship is nearly over, and I've made more than the cost of the tuition. Pacific Trading Academy really delivered, when everything I learned from others over the past 10 years has failed. If you decide to take this course, and delve in, years from now, you'll look back at this decision as one of the best you've ever made. A thousand thanks to Pacific Trading Academy, and a thousand thanks to Hany Labib. You guys are the best! Happy Trading!" Michael J.

• "I would like to express my gratitude to my mentor. Hany has made trading fun and profitable. After my first experience trading, about 5 years ago, my account was wiped out. Working with Hany, I am learning discipline and have just experienced the longest winning streak of my trading career. When it comes to demeanor, discipline, teaching ability and knowledge, Hany is at the top of the heap. I rarely write letters of praise, but I felt it was important that you realize the asset your company has in Mr. Hany Labib. He has earned my utmost respect and appreciation." Michael H.

The proof of the pudding is in the results, of course. Hany advised me to start with a small account and double it to gain experience and confidence before committing more capital to this endeavor. I started trading with a $5000 account when the course was completed and managed to double it in eight weeks, despite having the good fortune of making a couple of stupid mistakes in the second week (nothing like a swift kick to keep one from doing that again!). Here's my trading report card -- as you can see, my ability to make money and contain losses is accelerating:

Week	Profit	Loss	Account Balance	Notes
1	557.28		5,557.28
2		1,154.88	4,402.40
3	637.96		5,040.36
4	1,629.32		6,669.38
5	-	-	6,669.38	(found no trades worth taking)
6	1,351.84		8,021.52
7		142.08	7,879.44
8	2,203.20		10,082.64	(doubled account)
9	1,407.24		11,489.88	(took a 2-day break from markets, too)

Looks like I will make the second $5000 much faster. Have now added $20,000 to the account, so I will have more to work with and can trade "the beans." PTA, and Hany especially, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me independent of corporate America! No more of those stressful commutes, no more of working long hours of overtime (for no extra pay) on projects that ultimately get cancelled. At this "job" I spend less time and will likely make a better living than I ever made while working for someone else. And now, no more outgo with no income. My charitable contributions will soon cease to be a thing of the past. Life is good, and you helped make it so! PTA, I hope you stay in business a long time -- you are providing a most useful service." B. Baker

• "I was a slow learner, but I finally caught on, and your system is nothing less than terrific! My last few trades before the computer and I both got sick more than paid for the entire program, and the two that I missed for being sick and without a computer would have paid for it all over again. Your system is great! In fact it is even better that you think it is! I am glad I already have it, because when you find out how good it really is it is going to cost a lot more and thank you for the excellent instruction that you gave me. Best regards." J. Miller

• "I’m writing to let you know how much I enjoyed my mentoring experience with Hany Labib. In an industry that is mostly hype and very little substance, Hany is the real deal…no hype required. Let me explain. I had been trading off and on for 11 years before I met Hany. I was mostly self-taught. I am a certified graduate of the trading school of hard knocks. It was a vicious cycle…trade, lose, stop trading, get more education, trade, lose… I traded all of 2003 and broke even. I considered this a small but meaningful victory. I made $15,000.00 in 2004. I was down marginally the =1st 5 months of 2005. Then I entered your program and met Hany. After 3 months trading with Hany, I have made over $42,000.00! My 3 month winning percentage is 59%. In trading, you never have to wonder how you’re doing. The markets don’t grade on a curve. Nor do they sugar coat the results. The markets give Hany (and now me) an A+! Here are my trading results for the last 3 months. These are actual trades including commissions. The time frame was 5/11/05 to 8/10/05.

Total net profit: $42,113.00

I also tracked the first position (25% target) and 2nd position (trailing stop).

1st position: $21,718.00

2nd position: $20,395.00

It is interesting that the two are so close. About 6 weeks into this, the 2nd position was 4 times greater than the first position. There were several 2nd positions that took off...SN for example. Another thing that I think will interest you is that I also tracked how well I followed the rules. I had 3 grades that I gave myself: "Good" if I followed the rules exactly, "Bent" if I bent the rules slightly, "Broke" if I broke the rules.

Here are the results:

`Good' = $35,554.25

`Bent' = $16,483.75

`Broke' = (-$9.925.00)

Needless to say, this is motivation to follow the rules! I have enjoyed learning and trading your system. I think the key for me is this system fits my personality and schedule. I have traded other systems that were good systems, but I couldn't make them profitable because they didn't fit me. It was truly a pleasure. Thanks for everything." R. Spear

• " I got in SF6M late. It reached a trigger point, went up to 7705, when I got in, then dropped way down to 7631. I was going to wait for it to drop to 7610, since you said we could enter at 7650, which it crossed. I called you when it reach 7633, you suggested to not be greedy, and I sold at 7651 for a very nice profit. Luckily, an excellent choice, since it shot up the 7676. Overall this week, I made about $2500, my best week ever. Also got an Internet Palm Pilot so I could monitor trades at work and set sells. My parents and boss are absolutely shocked, and were totally against me entering the program. Now they know I made the right decision by listening to someone who succeeded in trading rather than to someone who never had (in other words, themselves). Exponential Thank You." Michael J.

• " Hi Hany, You'll be glad to know that this was probably my greatest day of trading in my life. You, Mr. Hany and Futures are the greatest thing that has happened to my portfolio. I've spent a bloody fortune in education and market losses. I have to face the truth and see the light where I'm finally making money and where I'm not. Thank you very much for sending the symbols and strategies in a way that I can understand them and study them for myself to learn this wonderful system. It is only with time and experience and market success that I will finally gain the confidence to make the trades on my own." Steve

• Hany, I'm still so excited about what I am seeing with your lessons. I can't wait until you might be forwarding my signals around! "Show me the Money, Hany!" Help ME help YOU, Hany!" - I liked that Jerry McGuire movie: he had a mentor, Mentors are great! You're great, Hany! ." Jack

• "For all those considering participating in The Pacific Trading Academy's mentoring program: I am a farmer from Iowa who has been trading for 15 years with not much success. I have participated in numerous programs which were mostly bits and pieces in hindsight. I signed up with the PTA program and immediately had second thoughts because of all those other programs that did not work for me. Fortunately for me, Patrick took the time to call me personally and show me the reasons that this program was perfect for me. I was then able to work with Glenn with comfort and confidence THANK GOD! Working with Glenn was so delightful and different than any other program I've ever done. He helped me find my trading personality and risk tolerance. He took into account the amount of money I had to work with and he did it with such a wonderful, positive attitude, I can truly see he loves what he is doing. Glenn changed the way I see the markets forever. He clarified fractal analysis and made sense of Elliot Wave so everything was non confusing. I then started my new trading career and in the first 30 days of trading, my account went from twenty thousand to one hundred seventy thousand. The scary part about all this is that I know this is skill - not luck! I am a different trader than I had been for 15 years. I owe a lot of thanks to Glenn Thompson and wholeheartedly recommend The Pacific Trading Academy. Thank You." Jeff S.

• "This trading program with Glenn Thompson as my mentor is by far the best I have encountered. To start with he made the appointments at my convenience, was very punctual and never missed a single one.He is extremely knowledgeable with years of experience as an active trader and is blessed with the talent to convey this knowledge to anyone desiring to learn. Mr. Thompson is not only a good teacher but very patient and considerate.He builds the program to conform with the students comprehensive ability and never does he make one feel foolish for dumb mistakes but always, always has a word of encouragement. His goal is not only that the student become a successful trader but also to teach one how to trade in a manner in harmony with their goals, personality and fits in with their time schedule. His teaching was from a very pragmatic, substantive approach. I learned what works for me. I wish to express my gratitude to Pacific Trading Academy for the opportunity of working with Glenn Thompson.I can honestly say that I have learned more in the past three months than in the past three years. My thanks to you again and good trading to all. Sincerely," V. Anspach

• "Glenn, I very much enjoyed my program with you as mentor. You are very knowledgeable and are able to teach on a level that I could understand. You were patient and kind, and I truly do appreciate all your time invested with me. I feel more confident in watching the markets both from a hedging and speculative perspective, and this is do to your teachings. As you know, I more than acheived my financial goals. I would recommend you and the PTA program to any participant. I feel I have made a good friend during our lessons. Thank You Again. Sincerely," Barbara C.

• "Hi Glenn, I thought you would like to know that I just took $800 profit on Dec corn option. I went ahead and closed it out today before it started to rally. I didn't want to take a chance on letting my profit go, just like you showed me!" Marjorie B.

• "I am enclosing a check to PTA as tuition payment for another 12 wk course in commodity trading with Glenn Thompson. I enjoy studying with Glenn on learning how to trade profitably. He has given me enough to be able to stay in the market, but I need more skill to take advantage of more and better trades. My market balance and excess equity is now around $35,000. Glenn and I will by trying to build that to $300,000.00 in the near future. Sincerely," Kenneth W.

• "Sir Ken, Thank you very much for the explanation of that ext. 461.8%.. I have mini-acct. and I am trading the Eur/usd before I enrolled to PTAUSA and I improved my trading now and I focus to your explanation about the reversing of the market and its true! it did.. the price went back at your estimated line between the 361.8% and 461.8%. You are really good! I opened a Demo acct. at TPfutures and I compare the price of the currency pair and the euro currency contract is almost thesame, even the moves. nothing to say more except for " Mr. Chow, you are the best trader!! compared to my previous instructors. I can't mention their academy name (its also a business). thank you again." 4/28/10 Felix C.

• Dear Ken, Just a note of appreciation for all you are taching me. It has helped me to realize a VERY nice profit on my copper contract. This alone made the course worthwhile. I expect to do well with others as well. I also appreciate your patience, concern, and kindness; especially that you do not talk down to me. That is very important to a rookie and a woman at that. God bless you for all your help." Evelyn

• October 8, 2008 Email to Ken Chow. "Ken…thx for the chart and confirmation…nice work!....I am entertaining the possibility that this forecast may only be an intermediate low based on the downward price movement of the last week or so…another chart possibility is attached along with some text at the end of this email from another group that I belong to (Time&Cycles)….my Gann software is EOD so I had to hand draw the price movement from this AM. Warm regards," Jim N P.S. Trading profits have paid for the course already

• One week later, October 17, 2008 "Ken...wish I had received this earlier...I accepted a two- day consulting assignment (nuclear industry) in Pittsburgh on Thur/Fri (Nov 21-22)....regarding trading...I was not a man of great means....however, since I combined your method with my Gann knowledge, I have increased one account from $900 to $4800 and another account from $2000 to ~$14000 in the last two months...."

• April 25, 2008 From Bill W. To:  Ken Chow. "Hi Ken, I’ve been diligently studying your course every available minute of the day since I got it, and enjoying it immensely, and seeing just how much potential there is in it to make me consistently successful.  I just got to chapter 4, Strategy #1.  WOW!  This is awesome!!  I can only imagine what’s waiting for me around the next corner. You must have been completely unable to sleep at night when you first discovered these things! You have no idea how grateful I am that you and your course have come into my life.  There is nothing more important to me, nothing (other than God and my family) than becoming a successful commodities trader, and now I know, after 10 years of trying and trying and trying, that I am going to reach that goal. I know I’m still only on Chapter 4, but I just wanted to stop what I was doing and thank you. Thank you!!" Bill W.

• Wed, 10 Sep 2008 "Ken, I like what I’m doing now.  It’s less stressful. The stop losses are bigger but with 85% profitable I’m O.K. with the occasional loss.  Thanks for all your help and support." Dale B.

• Sept 30, 2008 "Ken, I can’t thank you enough. As many people are losing a great deal of money in their 401K’s, I keep chipping away on profitable trades.  Still around 65%.  Yesterday with the market down 600 pts, I made money on both the short and long side. I’ve been staying with the e-mini russell (ICE), I bought the TFZ8 at 1141 on a secondary breakout for 664.  I put in a limit order at 671, which was around the 78% ext. of the major move and 261.8% on the support single-side (also the 261.8% of the single side of the double bottom).  It got executed at 1334 for 7 points profit! I plan on being on the webinar call tonight. Thanks, " Dale B.

• October 9, 2008 "Ken, Last night I was analyzing the 60 minute e-mini Russell and noticed it had gone thru the 127% extension of the dominant MM and the 161% would be 495. The supporting single sided 261.8% was 498, and  the most recent supporting MM 100% ext. was 494. I thought that if it broke through the low of 533.5 it might reach these levels.  This morning the 5 minute had a MM breakout at 545 and I sold one contract expecting it to go to 531.  When it blasted thru there I had another limit order at 533.5 that I took all the way to my projected level.  I thought this might take days. I made 78.3 points today on two contracts.  $7,830!!!!!!! Thanks,  " Dale B.

• "Ken, WOW, what a week!  My account is up over $27k just from last week from SuperStructure Trading! Thank you Ken," Tony W.

• 16 Oct 2008 " I hope to make it to class tonight but I am done for the day.  Give the new guys the following info. To build their confidence: Trading Results: 9 Trades, 1 Loser (3 Points), 1 Scratch. Net S&P Points (not ticks) - 72.00! They should know that they can all do this - I am not a "rocket scientist" - like my brother, just an old bookkeeper." Greg H.

• October 17, 2008 " Hi Ken! Greetings from Santa Clarita! I just can’t contain my excitement from today’s trading day experience for me, especially from a novice who signed up with your course less than two months ago!  Last week was a brutal one for me (and I think for majority of the traders out there too), and what I did was review your DVD’s again and see where I went wrong on my trades. This week, I only traded Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I was up almost $2000 for the week by strictly following your strategies.  This in spite of the fact that today, all major indexes (DOW, NASDAQ Comp and S&P) were down and I made $951.88 net on one stock alone (RIO)! 
  I attached herewith RIO’s Chart Analysis and a copy of my actual trades with TradeStation for today.  Will you please comment on my analysis so I could learn from the “MAESTRO” himself”?  You don’t have to make it on the chart itself, in fact I’d like to talk to you about it and I also have other trade-related questions that I am hesitant to ask when we are on a webinar. More power to you Ken and I think your SST program is superior to anything out there in the market today! Gratefully, " Rene P.

But as soon as I saw Mike's course, I instinctively knew his system would work for me. And I haven't been disappointed. Like Mike says, "In order to be successful you must find a trading system you can trust, apply easily and doesn't overtax your risk tolerance" - I have Mike Bridges' system; his course; his mentoring; and his continuing help... which he freely and liberally gives to all students, current and former, have exceeded my expectations."

• "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the academy for putting me in touch with Mike Bridges. The amount of knowledge I have acquired is without question immeasurable. I feel as though I have taken the first step in becoming independent in my now certain trading career. It is reassuring to be able to have had access to someone like Mike, since he has such a confident and professional view of the markets and the exemplification of the fortitude necessary for successful trading. This type of sevice and loyalty is quite rare and is much appreciated. I forgot to mention that the trading skills and ideas Mike has shared with me in the past few weeks have more than paid for the course three times over. Thank you again." Joseph Y.

Testimonials;

• " Have been trading for 3yrs, and was about to quit when Mr. Newman of Pacific Trading called. Just about passed on his offer, as I had taken several courses in the past, with less than expected results. Can't tell you how glad I am that I did not pass the opportunity to work with these people. I believe they are a group who are genuinely concerned about my success, and are worth every dime they ask. My mentor is Richard Rosenthal (one of the best) has taken the time I needed to be sure I understand the straight and narrow, has been great to work with and given me the valuable tools to work with, to have the confidence to trade the market with the insite needed to attain my goals. On top of all that I have gained a friend. Thank you." Roger T.

• " Hello Richard, since Monday I made $1,225.00 so far. I Thank You for your tutoring. You are a great guy!" Fred

• " Good morning Richard, How is you trading? Mine is very good so far, I have traded 14 days and all been winners so far. I average around $300 per trades, I think that great for a learner. I remember what you said. 'Don't get greedy' and I am following your advise. One day I made $475 in four minutes and I clocked out for the day. If I see that the trade goes against me I do a reversal. I am grateful to you, because I know that all of my financial problems are solve for life. GOD BLESS." Frederico

• " I have done seven 45-minute mentoring sessions with Rich Rosenthal up to today. I am thrilled with his mentoring program. I did not even dream in my dreams that this is exactly what I needed. Rich is a great teacher. Before the program start, I had my doubts. Not anymore. I have learned more in last 3 weeks than I learned on my own in last 5 years. Thanks a Lot!" K. Singh

• " Richard, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your guidance and mentorship over the last several months. You've really inspired me and helped me see a future for myself trading equities and futures, something I could never have done on my own. A number of mistakes I made were really a blessing in disguise because you were able to teach me how to avoid and navigate the land mines. If I were successful right out of the gate I'm pretty sure I would have been clueless as to how to deal with the problems. That being said, I dug myself out of the hole and made the money back on the course. You taught me how to read technical signals and when to use the various options strategies. I'm really trading with confidence, this is the best investment I've ever made in my future. Thank you, very, very much." C. Winning

• " Hello, I have been trading with Richard Rosenthal for 2.5 months. I just wanted to send this mail to express two things. First, Rich is a fantastic instructor (and patient) and second, he really knows his stuff. My $50k trading account is up over $70k (as of this morning), which is a 40% increase for 2.5 months. This would equate to 192% profit in 1 year using this methodology (and market). Even if you said it was 3 months, that's 160%. That is fantastic." K. Kicklighter

• " Richard, We have had three positive and one negative trade this week so far. Last week was huge as we had a net of over $100K. Regards, " Phil

Testimonials;

• "In an individual trader’s world filled with hype, never ending ‘special offers’ and frustration from tantalizing false claims; I am relieved to have finally found a mentor and education I believe in by becoming a student of Dale Brethauer. After trying many systems, services and ‘Grail’ indicators, I can tell you that this coaching program makes sense, focuses on what rally matters, including trading plans and money management, and is applicable to various trading styles and strategies.

• "Starting in late October 2009 I took a three month course from Pacific Trading Academy.  Dale Brethauer was our course mentor.  I found him to be a straight shooter and realistic thinker he was easy going and very pleasant in all our discussions.
  Dale showed us a method of finding and evaluating financially strong stocks for investment purposes.
  He also showed us how by using trend methodology we could analyze a stock and decide by reading and understanding the trend charts when to enter into a buy or sell position.  I appreciate his interest in listening to each of his students and making sure we understood the investment and trend chart methodology.
  Any perspective student  should  be very comfortable seeking Dales instruction, he was a great facilitator.  Through Dale’s webinars he gave the students excellent demonstrations on how to use the analysis and trend tools he taught the group." G. Busch

• "As a Metastock user I was on Equis website and signed up for a webinar on Volatility Breakout by Dale Brethauer. Attending webinars were not the norm for me however, I am so glad I did.
  I really enjoy Dale’s methodology of teaching as he will walk with you step by step and ensure that you have a total understanding of the trading methods that are time-tested proven strategies. Dale has a plethora of knowledge when it comes to the markets and this is evident by his teaching. A very important aspect of Dale’s teachings is the psychology of trading and how emotions can be detrimental to your trading account. Emotions were what kept me from advancing in the markets. Not anymore. :)
  One of the things I really look forward to in Dale’s webinar class is the drills he performs on reading technical indicators on the charts. For me, this is not only fun because everyone in the class is encouraged to participate by telling Dale if they would go long, exit or stand aside but, this is also an excellent training tool that builds your confidence and readies you for trades that have your hard earned cash on the line. Dale has taught me how to use my charting platform with a specific set of indicators that will show me precisely when to get in and when to get out of a trade. With the guesswork and emotions removed, not only do I find myself sleeping better at night, I am pulling in real nice profitable trades. Other important aspects I’d like to point out are Dale’s teaching of risk and money management, trading business plan and expectation of returns.
  I have trading stocks and options for years with no real results until now. I am extremely excited about where this endeavor will take me and right now I am enjoying the journey! Thank you Dale and PTA ~ Regards," Jim B.

• "Dale, I just wanted to tell you again how much I really consider myself extremely blessed to have been put with you as my coach. This was absolutely the best investment of time and money that I have ever done for myself. Of course I am very thankful for my marriages, children and my job in the military and American Airlines but this has been, for me, like getting the Masters degree that I always wanted to get.
  Thank you my dear friend and I look forward to playing more golf with you in the future. Sincerely, " Addison

• "Dale, on this Tuesday I bought 3 contracts of APPL for $25.04 today it is at $38.60, needless to say I'm shocked and delighted. Also my CMG went up $15.90 today, this is my best day ever as a trader, thank you." Russell P.

• “I’ve tried several ‘investment services’ that were offered to me over the phone – and I mostly regretted it dearly. Not so this time! PTA is the first organization I’ve encountered, who are first and foremost interested in turning their students into self-sufficient, successful traders. You can’t go wrong with them.
  Given my stated preference for swing and position trading in stocks and options, PTA paired me up with Dale Brethauer, who introduced me to a few solid, time-tested, and easy to follow trading strategies with clearly defined entry and exit signals. These strategies are comfortably manageable on a part-time basis, so I can still dedicate ample time to my day job.
  A big milestone during Dale’s mentorship was the creation of my very own trading business plan, in which I documented my trading objectives, personal strengths/weaknesses, strategies, tools, processes, accounts, trading capital allocation, forecasts, and training resources. This living document is now the focal point of all my trading activities and I can’t believe I ever traded without it.
  I also love Dale’s webinars which provide a forum for group discussions, the ability to ask questions and to hear multiple points of view on how to manage our trades in light of the respective market situations. They definitely helped me to solidify my own knowledge and to keep my trades on track. They also made me feel more connected to others, being part of a community of likeminded traders who are following Dale’s strategies.
  Finally, under Dale’s guidance I developed the skills and confidence to develop, test, and scrutinize additional strategies to augment the foundation he provided. It reminded me a little bit about college, where you don’t just acquire knowledge about a particular topic, rather you hone the skills that allow you to solve any problem that you may encounter in your professional career…
  If you are looking for an experienced, honest and thorough guide to put you on the path to trading success and provide you with solid, easy to follow stock and option trading strategies, Dale Brethauer is your man!
  Thank you Dale, for sharing your wisdom with me! I’m looking forward to many years of successful trading and to staying in touch and sharing my ideas with you and the growing community of Dale Brethauer alumni.” Martin S. Auburn, CA

• " Dear Suzan,
  As you know I discovered Dale on a “Webinar” sponsored by Metastock. His topic was Volatility Breakouts using Bollinger Bands and Wilder’s Parabolic SAR.I was impressed by his honesty, knowledge and ability to focus on his subject and thoroughly get his teaching message across to his student.Even though I have probably twenty years experience with Metastock, I am relatively new to the use of options. Until now, my fear and ignorance of options had produced a losing record.The first four sessions with Dale convinced me that I had made a good choice contracting with PTA for his teaching.He quickly and patiently taught me the basics of Volatility Breakouts using Bollinger Bands and Wilder’s Parabolic SAR to establish Straddles and Strangles. He guided me through real-time investments using a simple and effective strategy. I was given precise rules on selecting stocks, entry points, and exit points that removed emotion from the decisions. The strategy demands patience and discipline to make it work. It has performed just the way Dale promised!We are working now on a business plan to guide me into a better investing performance.One of the things he has taught me while working on the business plan is the construction and application of the “Expectation” formula that I had read about in Dr. Van Tharp’s book. It is an invaluable instrument for building confidence in the strategy that you are using. Before working with Dale, I had been working with strategy ideas that were complicated beyond belief and barely kept my head above water. Dale has given me two strategies, one for short-term option trading and the other for long-term investing, that are as simple as an old Ford Model T and just as dependable. More than that, he explains the strategy, guides me in its use and subtly tests me to be sure that I am `getting it.`Of all my investments over a lot of years one of the very best was my decision to take Dale’s course through Pacific Trading Academy."

• "November 1, 2009.
  Last fall and winter, I along with many others watched their hard earned retirement funds erode in the dramatic 2008/2009 down turn of the economy and stock market. I chose to watch and hope that the market would come back and recovery the losses that I suffered. It was a bad decision, but my decision. As I gathered information from different sources it became very apparent that the market was going to take some time, if ever, to recover my loses especially using the strategy that I had previouly established for myself, namely Mutual Funds and traditional hold and hope long term stocks. So, I made a command decision to take charge of my own destiny and to attempt learning the skills necessary to do that. I needed to find someone to carefully mentor and teach me the skills necessary to achieve my goals. I was referred to Pacific Trading Academy. As I poured out my story to one of the staff at PTA her advice was to engage one of their staff of mentors. I was referred to Dale Brethauer and agreed to work with him and he with me.
  
  Dale has patiently guided me through the education and execution
  process of trading Options and investing in high quality stocks long
  term using very simple but effective systems that he has developed
  over 30 years of his own personal investment experience and
  philosophy. I highly recommend Dale as a mentor if you are like me
  and need tender loving care and patience while you learn to trade and execute a conservative plan of investment. I look forward to an on going relationship with Dale as I plan my portfolio's consistant recovery. " A. Gore, Nashville, Tennessee

• "To my fellow traders;
  My early trading was a disaster. That experience left me pondering why some win, some lose and is there a way to become a better trader. With millions of possible strategies, trading styles, unlimited profit and loss potential, no external constraints or pressure to conform to social behaviors, where to start and how to start.
  Well after searching for answers for a very long time, I stumbled upon a webinar hosted by Metastock featuring Dale Brethauer, a mentor with the Pacific Trading Academy.  
  My search was over; I signed up with PTA to have Dale as my personal mentor. The strategies he presented were fascinating, very low risk, stress free trading, 10 years of growth, minimal draw downs and best of all a plan and road map to follow.
  It was like cloning someone’s success with the inventor of the strategy with you to pull you back from taking wild risk and conform to success track. Joining the program with him, repeating the information on weekly basis, discussing the ideas and cross checking them with the plan and strategies, really helped.
  Dale’s strategies helped with trading peacefully, taking the blame away from brokers and friends whose tips went south.
  Me and the market, Me with full control of my destiny, Me with no one else to blame, Me taking 100% responsibility, required a solid plan and strategies, thank you Dale for being the middle man, kind of gateway to direct and channel my actions towards success trajectory.
  On a side note, I got into RIMM with volatility breakout strategy, made $3000 in 4 days. Got in at 55 and out at close to 65.
  Had I just used your strategy week before with AIG, would have captured 3k profits there as well. I am excited to get to more stable results with low stress. Dale’s weekly and daily setup’s takes away the minute by minute monkey watching my trades.
  I wish you profits and if you are struggling like I was try and attend a webinar with Dale, or better yet, have him mentor you.
  Thanks, " Surender S.
