I never finished Bower's course as I got sidetracked by other things and also came to realize that scalping and short-term daytrading was not for me. I started looking at nothing lower than a 15-minute timeframe chart. Unfortunately that didn't help me avoid the psychology issues that inevitably come up in trading. They just weren't as severe.
AXIA got their act together really late and by the time their course on the DOM came out I was already working on automated trading and no longer had any interest in them.
The Basic Course is his cheapest and the most useful so just stick with that (you will though need a platform with a decent DOM to be able to see orderflow clearly though, he uses Jigsaw though Sierra charts or similar can now do similar things with split volume prints. Some people prefer footprint charts but he only discusses the DOM as that is what he trained on and uses). I think the course is a bargain if you are interested in learning orderflow and when you go through his descriptions of what you are seeing it just makes logical sense, but would take a huge amount of time for you to work it all out for yourself from scratch. After that start looking at a decent DOM and try implementing what you have learnt and you will continue to learn which aspects make sense, stand out for you visually, and work well for you. (Or you might decide it isn't a style of trading that in practice really suits you after all).
Looking at my videos the intermediate course only contained an extra two, with seven extra trades shown (from his website , which sounds about right). Personally I wouldn't bother with it as it only shows extra examples of what is shown in the first videos or written in the ebook from the starter course. Like I say, I only bought it because I was going for a webinar anyway so the intermediate course was free/refunded back to me.
The webinars are good as you see him doing live what you have read, and each session ends with Q&A. They are expensive but they include another 17 videos of trades and introduction videos before two weeks of live trading during which he sends out every day complete recordings of the session, typed trade notes, and a session highlights video just edited down to the trades. So it does cost a lot more but is also not even be worth considering in my opinion unless you had gone through the basic course and spent a fair amount of time practicing that otherwise it could all be pretty overwhelming (one would also want to sign up for the webinar ideally a month or so before it starts to have time to watch all the videos).
You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden
