"Your 9k is wasted. "

In short, can I recommend this Program? No. First, I'll outline what you'll get:
1. 1:1 coaching calls.
2. Community coaching nights.
3. A mentor who refuses to trade live.
4. A mentor who will become defensive if you question the validity of practically anything he says.
5. Who boasts he has 17 years of trading experience and visibly enjoys his ego being stroked by new traders.
6. A mentor who will threaten to refuse to coach students if they fail to attend workshops that they've registered for, despite them paying $9000 for the pleasure.
7. Promises that you'll get entry opportunities within 2hrs, but realistically, you'll be at the desk for 5 hrs until 10pm multiple nights in a row waiting for a trade.
8. A website with typos and christmas colouring.
9. Online instructional videos that state "why we do xyz" but should be relabelled "let me tell you why we do xyz without telling you why we do xyz"
10. Nil transparency about how many successful traders are produced by the system.
11. a very questionable "83% success rate" statistic (again, nil transparency re: the data)
12. Nil transparency of the financial incentive and relationship Ron has with the broker used by LIFT traders.
13. "special" LIFT indicators that aren't "special" at all.
14. before and after screenshots in community coaching nights proclaiming to be a live trading example- It's not.
15. Weird metaphors where Ron indirectly labels those who question the method or make slight alterations as having a disease and how he and his knowledge are the cure.
16. If you review a trade and it moved against you, Ron will attribute this to any number reasons on the chart- anything but the method actually failing.

Ok, lastly, it's obvious that LIFT hasn't worked for me. I have spoken to a few who tweak things to make it work for them but, believe as Ron teaches it, and his material, doesn't. I’m not alone in this view.

There are over 150 members in LIFT. At $9000 each, that's $1.3 million. Why would you need to trade if you sign 2-3 people a month (27k)? And this happens (anecdotally).

The wasted time, energy and money is what hurts the most pursuing this.

I would've found better value spending the money on practically anything else in life. I want my money back. It’s fraudulent.

Check out his past, if I did this initially, there’s no way I’d have signed.

"Terrible Experience with The Trading Coach International"

I was involved with LIFT for around a year. A couple of months in I realised, I had made a VERY expensive mistake in choosing Ron as my trading ‘Coach’ and ended up having to pay someone else to learn how to trade profitably.

Ron was very friendly initially, lots of promises, but that doesn’t last long after you pay your money and start the program. The trading nights are pretty worthless overall, but he does teach some very basic fundamentals in between he’s aggressive and condescending attitude. That’s when he isn’t taking a tantrum or making snide remarks about the current person he doesn’t like that week.

Ron will never show you his trading personally, stating it’s because he doesn’t give financial advice. The trading teams are worthless and aren’t led by an experienced trader, I asked Ron if we could get one of the successful Step 4’ traders to visit our group as the moral was really low and I was told very aggressively to “Just quit, if you don’t like it”.

Facebook groups are dormant as most people can’t find LIFT step 3 trades or are too afraid to post them because of Ron’s reaction. If you question Ron about the lack of LIFT trading opportunities, he will either blame you or the market conditions.

In my opinion, it appears you must give Ron positive reviews before you can progress as Ron stated in one of his very angry and aggressive rants through gritted teeth, he was going to make sure, progress was very difficult for me, which he did. When I didn’t leave a review for Ron without getting any results, Ron retaliated by telling the others in my team not to help me, which I assume was to make progress difficult for me.

When I refused to refer other people, I know to LIFT, as I didn't feel I had gained much benefit. Ron ‘accidentally’ cancelled my coaching calls. Ron did accept another booking for a coaching call at a later date, which in the end I decided to cancel as I felt Ron was just too difficult to deal with and no real help. I ended up having to engage another trainer who could actually teach and became profitable a few months later.

In my opinion, its possible, LIFT step 3 trades, were more prolific in the past, but current market conditions have over a prolonged period now not been favourable to LIFT trading.

Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience I received from the Trading Coach International for 9k and I definitely would not recommend Ron in any capacity.

"FAKE Coach and fake results"

I've been in LIFT for 11 months. This is a small breakdown of my experience. If you want to know more drop a comment below.

The Good: Lifetime of coaching + basic fundamentals of trading.

The Bad: Coaching nights are a waste of time.
Analysis sheets waste your time after step 3
You sit on the charts for hrs waiting for a "lift" trade to set up.
FB group chats are dead
Outdated trading method using 3 indicators. If you wait for these to align for a "valid lift trade", CONGRATULATIONS you have found a unicorn!
Terrible Risk Management - no apparent risk management given especially when paired with the costly broker.
Contradictions: Ron coaches different targets during the stages of the program. This is taught to some, to others this is different.
Real "step 4" traders ignore this and only trade for 2-3 pip profits at 15 full size contracts. Do the math at how much capital you need for this. (Steer clear)
83% success rate is a lie and has not been updated for at least a year if not more.

The Ugly: A coach who never trades live or shares his trades
A coach who never gives ideas on entry points or regular market updates.
An emotional coach going on rants in workshops
A coach who does not encourage you researching other trading methods as he fears these will trump his own.
Your told you can make the cost of the course, 9k, back. However, you must increase your trading capital significantly, that is thousands to do so.
Ron doesn't allow you to move to the next step until he deems you fit, but the rules are inconsistent.
Trading this antiquated method would take you years without capital to get your 9k back.
In speaking to successful "lift" traders - they don't even stick to his method as it does not work. It is tweaked to modern trading methods.
At workshops, they are "catered" but catering is his wife buying and serving Costco food. Is this really what a profitable trader does? I bet real successful traders like FXALEXG Waqar Asim or Usman would never treat their teams like this. I suggest you learn from these guys.
Upgrades to handbooks are not included in the 9k you pay, be prepared to pay for "upgraded" handbooks.
Ron is too cheap to print + ship updated handbooks to you. If he was real he would bear the cost and "trade" the money it costs to do this. He is a fake!
If Ron traded, he would have enough money to fund updates, but he is stingy.

Ron has a QUESTIONABLE PAST! Do your research to see who you are getting involved with! DISGUSTING!

In trading a new strategy with a real coach, I am now profitable and working to make the money I spent on this "course" back. I am glad I have left lift as the only thing it did was lift Ron's bank account.

Please join a real trading course and do your research before joining lift. You will thank me later! Don't fall for the sweet talk and psychological marketing techniques of lift.

At 9k per student, Ron does not need to trade, nor do I believe he is a real trader making consistent profits.

If Ron was a "REAL" trader he would refund my 9k

..But guess what he is not and he would never honour this as he knows that he can't make 9k easily, let alone the printing costs of handbooks or catering services at workshops.

Lastly:
RON I CHALLENGE YOU to make me my 9k back in trading or refund my money.
IF you do I will take this review down and acknowledge you are a real trader with a method that actually works. If not, everyone BEWARE of this FAKE FRAUD!

"Ron is always here to help"

I've been with Lift for few years, Ron is always there to help and support, include hosting live workshops (free lunch) every month, coaching nights almost every week. Unlimited one and one personalized coaching call which I found it invaluable as everyone has their own unique trading challenges. Also, checking your monthly trades and access how you are doing and let you know how to improve as long as you submit your trades! LIFT also has various social events throughout the year. I am very happy to be part of the LIFT family. I highly recommend anyone interested to book a free call to have a chat with Ron! (This is an update to my previous LIFT reviews, will review every few months and also update how I'm doing as well)

"Great experience so far since I started…"

Great experience so far since I started LiFT and the foreseeable future even looking greater for my trading business. It’s been 15 months since I started with NO experience in trading and now The lifestyle that I wanted to achieve is now within reach.
Looking forward to give up my current full time employment within the Resources industry and become a full-time Forex Trader by the end of 2023.
Thanks for Ron&Ives and the LifT community for the opportunity and their lifelong support.

"Ron is one of the best in the business"

Ron is one of the best in the business! I am currently a member of the Trading Coach, since 2020. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about forex trading to give Ron a call, he is a fantastic coach who is approachable and realistic in his method. I consider him to be the biggest asset while learning to trade because of his ability to provide real and honest feedback to see you through to success…he won’t give you false hope!

"FX trading, learn how to be profitable with LIFT"

I have been a LIFT member for almost a year and my experience has been truly exceptional. My learning and development has progressed to plan and I am now a confident profitable trader. I follow the plan attend all the events and regularly review the material to give me the edge I need to be successful in this program, now and into the future for myself and my families financial freedom. I am on the right track to achieving my goals and can highly recommend the LIFT program to anyone wanting to do the same. Do yourself a favour and book a call.

"Ron is a dedicated coach"

Ron is a dedicated coach

"Pathway to successful FOREX Trading Business"

I joined the Trading Coach last year with zero knowledge of FOREX trading. The support and community here is nothing short of amazing. The ongoing training and coaching is above and beyond anything else. The lift program is amazing, and Ron is the excellent LIFT Trading Coach.

This program have very clear step by step plan to help you become a full-time trader. Most importantly, it tells you exactly how to journal your trades and request for coaching!

If you’re looming to start your own FOREX trading business look, I highly recommend this program. Thank you, Ron and LIFT Investor Community.

"Surpassed my expectations"

After many years as a business owner, I was never able to achieve a healthy work/life balance; let alone the freedom and flexibility I had hoped being a successful business owner would provide. In my continued search for a new path that would facilitate my dream lifestyle, I finally discovered Lift Trading Program.

Ron has not only created a system that delivers on what it promises but his content and resources have been easy to follow and implement, particularly given my lack of trading experience.

After much research into other trading programs, what sets the Lift Trading Program head and shoulders above the rest is their commitment to their student’s success through ongoing coaching for life. No matter what the challenge, I have never lost confidence in the program because I know Ron is always there to guide me to the right solution.
