ITPM Course Reviews

The IPLT is the perfect on-ramp to ITPM's methodology. When I first looked at ITPM, I was tempted to jump straight into the PTM — but I'm glad the IPLT exists. It sets the foundation for everything that follows: macro-first thinking, understanding why you need to view markets through a professional lens, and critically, why most retail trading approaches are fundamentally flawed.

The course doesn't overwhelm you with charts and indicators. Instead, it focuses on how professional traders actually think about markets — starting with the global macro picture and working down. This top-down approach is the single biggest differentiator between ITPM and every other trading education provider I've seen.

If you're completely new, start here. If you have some experience but have been trading like a typical retail trader (technical analysis, day trading, following signals), this will challenge everything you think you know — in the best possible way.

The PTM changed how I think about markets entirely. Before ITPM, I was doing what most retail traders do — staring at charts, using technical indicators, trying to predict short-term moves. The PTM showed me that professional traders operate in a completely different universe.

The macro economics section alone is worth the entire price of the course. Anton Kreil walks you through how to analyse the global economy from the top down, understand central bank policy, and identify which asset classes and sectors are likely to outperform in the current macro regime. This isn't theory — it's the exact process used at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and every serious hedge fund.

The long/short portfolio approach was a revelation. Instead of just buying stocks and hoping they go up, you learn to construct a portfolio that profits regardless of market direction. You learn to think in terms of relative value, sector exposure, and risk-adjusted returns. It's a fundamentally different way of approaching markets.

If I could only recommend one course to any trader, retail or otherwise, it would be the PTM without hesitation. It's the single best investment I've made in my trading education.

The POTM took my trading to another level. After the PTM, I understood how to read macro and construct a long/short equity portfolio. The POTM showed me how to use options to express those same views with dramatically better risk/reward profiles.

What sets this course apart from every other options programme is that it's not taught in isolation. Most options courses teach you strategies in a vacuum — iron condors, butterflies, straddles — without any framework for when to use them. The POTM integrates everything with the macro framework from the PTM. You learn to use options as tools to express specific macro and stock-level views.

The section on volatility is exceptional. Understanding implied vs realised volatility, vol surfaces, and how to identify when options are cheap or expensive relative to expected moves — this is what separates professional options traders from retail ones.

I use options strategies from this course regularly. The asymmetric return potential — risking a small amount for potentially very large gains — is genuinely transformative when combined with the macro framework from the PTM.

The PFTM is the most intellectually challenging course ITPM offers — and arguably the most rewarding. If you think forex trading is about candlestick patterns and support/resistance levels, this course will completely rewire your thinking.

The depth of macro analysis focused specifically on currencies is unlike anything else available. You learn how central bank policy differentials between countries drive currency pairs, how to analyse balance of payments data, and how capital flows create long-term trends that technical traders never see coming.

What I found most valuable was the framework for understanding why currencies move. After the PFTM, when you see the EUR/USD move 200 pips, you don't just see a chart pattern — you understand the policy differential, the relative growth picture, and the flow dynamics that caused it. This level of understanding is what separates a professional forex trader from someone gambling on charts.

The PFTM is the most advanced course in the ITPM curriculum and it's clear why. The macro-driven approach to forex is something I use in my trading every single week.
