What Members Say
“I have gained an even deeper insight into how to actually make money using what Imran teaches. It has helped me start viewing options trading not just as strategies to be blindly deployed but as a subtle response to the world as it changes around us.”

“The main reason I stay a sub is because of Imran. It’s very rare to find someone who has traded professionally as a market maker and a prop trader — in a world full of charlatan sub sellers, he’s legit. It’s rarer still to find someone who has done what he’s done and who actually likes to teach people, with the icing on the cake being that he’s actually good at it.”

Former CDS Market Maker (20 years, London banks), Family Office Trader
“I’ve had other services when I first started trading and getting into markets 3 years ago. This is by far the best discord I’ve been in. People in here have knowledge of markets and are looking for sensible trades, not get-rich-quick trades that blow you up. I run my own construction business and do most of the labour myself, so being able to check the ideas and ask for opinions on trade ideas here is more than worth it for me. Still learning the different options strategies but progressed a lot since being here.”
