“What makes Trading Desk special to me goes far beyond trading. There is real knowledge and experience here, from videos, books and strategies to people always willing to help you understand the market better. The real value is learning, improving, finding your own style and having people around you throughout the process. The trading might be what brings people here, but the community is what makes people stay.”
“When I first started in the trading world, I was bombarded with so much information that it often caused more confusion. Joining this Discord was like finding the ultimate guide — from the volume alert bot and stock financial data bot to J's experience and alerts, plus a community built around mutual help and shared knowledge. I have significantly reduced my past losses and am on the verge of breaking even. I have been here for over a year and never want to leave.”
“I have been in this group since pretty close to the start. When they brought Ronin on board, everything clicked — he is a better mentor than I could have hoped for and his style works for me. I am more interested in the psychology and mindset of trading, and that is one thing Ronin keeps me focused on and learning. Trading can be a lonely game, but it is much better with a group of people enjoying the open market together.”
“The staff and members of this server have shown me that it is possible to achieve my goals. This community has pushed me to set more goals and become the best version of myself. I am happy with where I am currently and with how much I have improved my trading skills and my daily life.”

“Mostly an options player here. I have had a great couple of weeks thanks to Ronin and the new Trendy Bot. The options group is a great set of traders — very supportive of each other, and we are always learning.”
“I have been part of the community since early 2025. Before that I was on and off trading with no real clear path. It was about five or six months into the community when I made real progress. Thanks to the analysts and the community for all of their guidance.”
“Ronin is the main reason I am in this Discord. His plays make sense and he holds himself accountable.”
“My account had around $350 before I returned. Between Ronin and the bots here, I roughly tripled that initial amount. I really appreciate that I am not out here flying blind.”
“I follow J and Rich Zee. Both have helped me greatly. Awesome Discord.”
“Ronin always provides valuable insight behind his trades, along with in-depth reviews, weekly performance recaps, future catalysts and upcoming events that may affect the market. I really appreciate what he has done and continues to do. Also, two words: options bot.”
“I have been part of this community since early 2025. I started by following J and progressed into options with Ronin. Both provide so much insight and experience. I have gained a great deal of knowledge and made many friends along the way. This place has become an escape from daily life for me.”
“I have been a member since fall 2025 and have always found J to be patient and enthusiastic, day in and day out. His diligence across each trading day, looking for strong plays and keeping it real, is invaluable. I love this Discord and community.”
“I was always a buy-and-hold investor and had shied away from options trading and trading in general. J and Ronin's calls and setups have been immensely helpful, and I have learned so much along the way. The community members are a pleasure to be around and the tools provided are highly valuable.”
“I wish I had more experience in risk management after a big win, because after that I took too much risk on a bad trade and did not respect my stop loss.”
“Ronin is solid, and I enjoy trading his setups, especially when contract prices are in the range I am comfortable with. J is excellent as well, particularly with his break setups. Posting those calls early gives me time to look at the chart and plan the trade before execution.”
“You need to manage your risk. The team provides guidance, but you are responsible for the success of your trades. There will be red days, and sometimes you need to take a step back, reassess, take less risk and move forward. I take notes on every trade, especially the ones where I experienced losses.”
“J, Rich Zee, Jayrod and Ronin are all really good at what they do. J has brought Trading Desk together and continues to develop it. If your goal is to learn, the tools are here and, most importantly, so are the teachers. I look forward to the continued growth of this community.”
“I joined Trading Desk in June 2025. Since then, the majority of my trading knowledge has been gained through my time with the community. Whether it is momentum, swing or options, we have knowledgeable analysts, a good community and tools that assist with navigating the market in real time.”
“I joined as a complete trading beginner. The Discord has been a valuable resource for stocks, options and short- to long-term swings. The group has remained consistently kind and helpful to anyone willing to ask questions, even through difficult market periods.”
“I just started trading options and Ronin's calls are on point. Thank you, Ronin.”
