I did take it, in Feb this year. No, I would not ask for a refund. The conditions back when I took it were way different from now. Back then, we had a live chat room, where we had access to all the order flow and market profile experts (Miltos, Brannigan and Dan Goldberg) for 2 months.
Material wise, it was as comprehensive as you could get. It didn't just cover all aspects of reading the DOM itself, but also how to build a trading framework around it using various tools like market profile and technical analysis. It also covered how to trade around fundamental news events like ECB and FOMC, and some specific Eurex related plays like month end money flows.
The drills were also very instructive in terms of making sure you could recognize certain price patterns and also trading under various conditions like news driven events etc... I was particularly impressed with the fact that they actually conducted drills using their own ladder software. That aspect alone was above and beyond what other courses can offer (other than those in-house courses in a Prop firm).
As for taking the course now, I don't think I can recommend it as much as I did. Firstly, they are reusing all the old slides, the main instructor, Miltos as you know is no longer with Futex. As for the drills, I don't have any knowledge if they are going to reuse or have new ones. Hard to believe that they will come up with a new set of drills......
It was a very promising course that was unfortunately cut short due to the Parent company.
I am talking to someone (cannot mention his name) who is taking the course currently and there are NO LIVE DRILLS. They only give you a slide with instructions on what to do so you run the drill on your own platform. Very different from the course we both took. Definitely glad I did not sign up a second time.
Oh wow, then definitely not worth it then. The one aspect that really set this course apart from the rest out there was really the market replay drills. It really gave me the feeling like I was in a prop environment, where drills are also a huge part of any in-house training program.
Trading drills are to a trader, are what free-throw or dribbling drills are to a basketball player. To be at the peak of your game, you need consistent practice. Just looking at the screens ("screen time") is the same as having court side tickets to all the regular season NBA games. No matter how many times you sit court side, you will never become a good basketball player. Think that's a huge misconception a lot of traders have (staring at the markets will make you good). But anyway, I digress.
I cannot recommend this course any more, unless you happen to trade Eurex products (DAX, Stoxx, Bunds), and want to pick up some nuances, and/or interested to learn the trading setups used by the former Futex traders.
I just finished watching all of the videos without drills and I believe every trader should know at least first 7 modules (total 10), no matter how long you've been trading. Miltos did a great job going over many interesting topics.
He traded Euro-Bund Futures (FGBL) on proprietary software that they use for drills. He tries really hard to get a point across and show you on DOM. No matter what markets you trade this course is well worth it even without drills.
