Yes. And he's going to be more active on twitter, and he advises institutional clients, and he makes videos for his subscribers, and there's now a trading room. It seems like a lot. I'd be curious to hear if anyone has found value in his paid subscriptions. I think we all agree there is value in his course though.
I highly recommend him to any beginner or intermediate trader. Though I may not be renewing my subscription, the money is well spent. I may consider renewing if the small community there becomes more active. I prefer NexusFi
He has a big archive of weekly Q&A webinars and it's truly a treasure. He cuts through so much B.S and also a great teacher. Though the length of the videos could have been shorter with concise explanation, it's still worth the time.
He goes through his watchlist and current positions. More importantly, he explains why he is stalking them & entry criteria but somewhat disappointing 1R exit/stop levels. I don't mirror his trades (and nobody should).
He is pattern trader but I'm not. Yet, I still learnt a lot (even after reading several books & watching YT videos over the last 6 years). He has so much insight in a wide range of trading topics and explains it in a very easy to understand manner.
Solid, honest review. Grimes is one of the few educators whose work holds up under scrutiny, largely because his background is institutional and he actually tests his ideas statistically rather than cherry-picking chart examples. His book The Art and Science of Technical Analysis is still one of the better references on market structure.
Your point about the 1R exits is interesting. For someone running volume profile and delta the way you do across ES, CL, and the rest of your book -- fixed 1R targets probably feel like leaving money on the table. Grimes tends to frame exits conservatively because his audience skews toward newer traders who overtrade and mismanage risk. But if you already have a framework for reading where liquidity clusters and where value is shifting, scaling out at volume nodes or VAH/VAL levels is going to capture more of the move than a rigid 1:1.
What I'd highlight from his approach that transfers well regardless of method: his emphasis on market structure context -- knowing whether you're in a trend, a range, or a transition -- before applying any setup. That diagnostic step is where most traders skip ahead, and it's probably why you found value despite not being a pattern trader yourself.
Also worth noting -- his free course covers a surprising amount of the core material for anyone reading this thread who hasn't explored it yet.
