Welcome to our blog! As a trading enthusiast, you understand the importance of constantly improving your skills and knowledge in the ever-evolving financial markets. Today, we are excited to share with you the valuable feedback we received from our May 2023 course survey. This survey was conducted to gather insights from traders who have taken our Applied Systems Development trading course based on Dr Ken Long’s systems, with the aim of continuously enhancing our teaching methods and course offerings. Let's dive into the survey results and explore what our students had to say!

Teaching Style and Effectiveness:

One of the key questions in the survey focused on the instructors' teaching style and effectiveness. We were delighted to receive overwhelmingly positive responses. Several students praised the instructors' excellent teaching style, highlighting the thorough and detailed explanations of trading concepts. The instructors received special mention, as their complementary skills and teamwork greatly contributed to the students' learning experience.

Course Content and Improvements:

The survey also sought feedback on the course content and areas for improvement. A recurring theme among the respondents was their satisfaction with the overall course content. Many participants appreciated the step-by-step approach to building a trading system, which provided them with valuable insights into effective trading strategies. The teachings on risk management and the practical nature of the course, including the Kata challenges, were also highly valued.

While the majority of students were content with the course content, a few expressed a desire for more time dedicated to each step. We understand the importance of striking a balance between comprehensive coverage and pacing, and we appreciate the feedback. Rest assured, we continually review and refine our course curriculum to provide the best learning experience possible.

Course Zoom lessons and Q&A:

In terms of the Course Zoom lessons and Q&A sessions, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many students expressed satisfaction with the quality and relevance of the sessions, appreciating the opportunity to interact with the instructors and clarify any doubts they had. However, a few respondents mentioned the challenge of scheduling due to time zone differences, while one student expressed interest in more discussions on retirement accounts. We take this feedback seriously and will consider addressing these concerns in future offerings. We will continue to ensure all course sessions are recorded and Q&A responded to promptly.

Additional Suggestions and Takeaways:

When asked for additional suggestions and takeaways, respondents shared some insightful comments. Many appreciated the concise trading rules provided throughout the course, which helped them navigate the complex world of trading. The emphasis on risk management was particularly valued, as it empowered novice traders to take control of their own financial destinies. However, some participants had unanswered questions about adapting the course's knowledge to their specific markets. We recognize the importance of personalized guidance, and we are committed to providing ongoing support and coaching to address such concerns.

Upcoming Bootcamp and Course Offerings:

An exciting development emerged from the survey: a significant number of respondents expressed interest in attending a bootcamp on the Kata Challenge system. We are thrilled by this positive response and are actively working to create an enriching learning experience for those who choose to participate. Stay tuned for more information regarding the bootcamp schedule and registration details.
