Everything you want to know.

ETTFOS Quantum Leap is ETTFOS’s foundation program: four days for beginner and expert traders, taught live online or in person. It teaches a disciplined, rules-based approach to trading, with risk management at the heart of every decision.

The program has five modules: the psychology of trading and your plan; products and exchanges; orders, charts, margins and leverage; following the market, chart patterns and the four strategies; and limiting loss, managing trades and exits, and the habits of a disciplined trader. The Quantum Leap page lists each module in full.

Four ETTFOS strategies: Momentum Wave™, Channel Cascade™, Value Alignment™ and Silver Surge™. You learn the core ETTFOS trading techniques, each with defined entry, exit and stop-loss rules; a specialist can tell you more in your briefing.

Yes. Developed in 1994 and introduced in 1997, the ETTFOS strategies were tested both on past market prices and in live markets. Past results are not indicative of future results.

During the program you work on your own trading plan and written rules for entries, exits and risk, and practice them on real charts, so you can study and test them before you commit any capital.

Practical. Classes use live price charts and real market examples, you practice your rules on real charts, and there is homework.

Yes. Module 1 covers the psychology of trading and becoming a good trader, and Module 5 the habits of a disciplined trader.

Yes. Module 3 covers orders, and charts and analysis tools; Module 4, analyzing charts and pattern formations. Classes use live price charts and real market examples, and you also learn how to select and open an account with a reputed broker of your choice.

Yes. One of its learning outcomes is to learn how markets behave during recessions, pandemics, and when prices are rising or falling, and how to manage risk in each. It is education about how markets behave, not a forecast.

No. You don’t use your own money in class, and you don’t need a broker account or a demo account for the course. Classes show live markets and real examples.

Every session is taught live, with time for questions, and small groups keep it interactive and give everyone attention. The course starts from first principles, so no previous trading experience is needed. During the program you work on your own trading plan and written rules for entries, exits and risk, and practice them on real chart examples, so you can study and test them before you commit any capital.

Experienced traders and beginners alike. Many of our students have traded for years, and many others had never placed a trade. Classes are small and interactive, so everyone gets attention and works toward their own goals.

If you already trade, you add a complete, rules-based system to what you know. If you are new to trading, you start from first principles, and the material is easy to follow.

No special qualifications or experience are needed. The minimum age is the legal age where you live, such as 18 or 21, and students join from most countries, wherever ETTFOS can legally work with them.

The program isn’t suitable for anyone who cannot afford to lose money. Anyone can apply: places are by invitation, after a free briefing, when the program is the right fit for both sides.

No. The course starts from first principles, so no previous trading experience is needed, and it builds step by step to a complete trading plan.

Many who attend already trade, some of them professionally. They know the markets but want a defined method for entering and exiting trades. They come to learn a structured way of selecting trades and to work on their own written trading plan and rules, rather than spend years developing one alone through losing trades and missed opportunities. ETTFOS Quantum Leap is a four-day program for beginner and expert traders.

Classes are usually in the evening, and you choose your group before you join. Afterward, the strategies themselves need only a few hours a week.

Students join from most countries around the world, wherever ETTFOS can legally work with them. As most classes are online, you don’t need residency or a visa.

ETTFOS Quantum Leap is taught live online or in person, in small, interactive groups. Private classes can also be arranged; the team covers the details in your briefing.

No. These are live sessions, not pre-recorded.

Four days in a row. Each day typically has four intensive hours of class, and often runs longer with discussion and questions.

Only a few classes run each year, and places in each are limited. They are offered first come, first served, and classes fill quickly. Course dates are not published on the website. Classes are usually in the evening, and sometimes in the morning; before you join, you choose the group that suits you from those available.

People join from anywhere in the world: the group you join depends on the time that suits you, and you choose it from the groups available before you join.

Small. Groups are kept small, so the sessions stay interactive and everyone gets attention.

The program is taught in English.

Each group’s sessions are shaped around that group, so the program is planned for you to attend all four days with your own group, and days and groups stay as booked. If you would like extra time, paid private sessions can be arranged, subject to availability; the team can talk them through with you.

The full program is taken once, and the team stays with you afterwards: if part of it needs explaining again, they can go through it with you, by appointment. For more time with the team, paid one-day sessions, private or semi-private, can be arranged; availability is limited, and the team can talk them through with you.

Our trading strategies do not require a lot of time. They apply to every time frame, from day trading to the long term, without frantic buying and selling, and we teach you to plan and place trades that do not need constant watching; some techniques need very little monitoring. The exact time varies from person to person: it depends on your goals, capital and markets, and on the type and number of your trades.

Yes. Private classes can be arranged, and training for a group or a company is possible as a custom option. Contact the team to discuss it.

All major well-regulated markets: one framework for stocks, crypto, commodities, forex, options and prediction markets, on every time frame.

Both. The strategies apply to every time frame, from day trading to the long term, and you learn the time frames that suit you best. Which you use depends on your capital, your appetite for risk and your goals.

Yes. You learn to trade equity index futures, energy, metals, currencies and agricultural commodities, such as the S&P 500, gold, silver and crude oil, in any well-regulated market.

To join online: a computer, a stable internet connection and a quiet place. Online classes currently run on Zoom.

No. Normal trading software is enough. The strategies are applied by hand, so you don’t need AI tools or trading robots to use them.

No. Normal trading software is enough, and besides the program there’s nothing else to buy: no extra tools or subscriptions. To trade, you will need your own broker account, as ETTFOS isn’t a broker.

Yes. Any well-regulated broker can be used.

How much money you need to start trading depends on the broker you choose. There’s no minimum amount of money to join the program: your only investment is the program fee.

That’s fine: how much you have to trade with doesn’t matter at this stage. Many people study a business before they have the money to start one, building their knowledge and experience first and looking for capital later. Trading works the same way: learn the skills and practise them first, and put real capital at risk only when you feel confident and ready.

Normal trading software is enough, and there’s nothing else to buy: no extra tools or subscriptions. Any well-regulated broker can be used.

Yes. Trading carries a high level of risk, and losing trades are a normal part of it: however much research you do, a position can move against you, and you can lose some or all of the money you trade with. Before you trade, do your own research and due diligence, and trade only with money you can afford to lose.

What ETTFOS Quantum Leap gives you is education: skills, a structured, rules-based approach and the benefit of long market experience, to help you make your own decisions in a more informed way. It does not remove risk, and no result is promised or guaranteed.

Risk management is at the heart of every decision. Module 3 covers risks and returns, and Module 5 limiting loss and risk, and trade management and exits. You learn to follow a written trading plan, with the risk on each trade set in advance.

Even so, risk is always there. No approach, including the one taught in the program, can guarantee that losses will not happen or that they will be smaller. Losses do happen and people do lose money; with leveraged products, such as futures, forex or trading on margin, a loss can be larger than the amount you put in. Your trading decisions, and their results, are always your own responsibility.

Yes, it is possible, and a disciplined, rules-based approach is what makes the difference. Many individual traders struggle because they trade without a plan: in a well-known US study of 66,465 households with accounts at a large discount broker from 1991 to 1996, economists Brad Barber and Terrance Odean found that the households that traded most earned an average annual return of 11.4 percent, while the market returned 17.9 percent.

Rules-based methods have a documented history. In 1983, commodities trader Richard Dennis and his partner William Eckhardt taught a group of newcomers, later known as the Turtles, to follow a written trend-following system, to settle a bet on whether trading could be taught; the story is told in Michael Covel’s book The Complete TurtleTrader (2007).

The course teaches you to plan each trade in advance, including the loss you are prepared to accept. No one can guarantee profits, though: markets can move quickly, past results of any system or trader do not guarantee future results, and you can lose money. Your results will depend on your own decisions, your capital and market conditions.

No. ETTFOS makes no promise of results or income. What any student achieves depends on their own decisions, their capital and market conditions, and anyone can lose money trading.

No, not when it is done as a business. Gambling relies on chance. Trading as a business rests on knowledge, a written plan, risk defined in advance on every trade and the discipline to follow your own rules, the way any well-run business works. Anything done without the right plan and knowledge can become a gamble, and that is exactly what the program teaches you to avoid.

Trading still involves real risk, and losing trades are a reality of it: a plan does not guarantee the outcome, markets can move quickly, and a loss can still be larger than planned.

Yes. Module 3 covers contracts, margins, leverage and liquidity. Leverage can work against you as well as for you, and can lead to large losses as well as gains.

No. ETTFOS gives no investment, financial or trading advice and no trading signals, and it does not tell anyone what to buy or sell. The program teaches you to plan and make your own trading decisions.

After the program you will know the practical steps to begin trading markets such as wheat, cotton, soybeans, coffee, sugar, silver, crude oil, various currencies, live cattle, lumber and cocoa, on commodity exchanges worldwide. When you start, and with how much, is your decision; we recommend practicing your plan first.

Every student receives the materials and tools the program uses, including templates and calculators.

Support after the program is available by appointment and within reason: if part of the program needs explaining again, you can book a session with the team to go through it. Appointments depend on the team’s availability. That help covers the program’s content, never trading advice or what to buy or sell.

Yes. Every student receives the materials and tools the program uses, including templates and calculators, and what you learn and the materials shared with you are yours to keep.

Yes. An ETTFOS completion certificate is included.

A UAE KHDA-accredited certificate is also available on request, for a separate government attestation fee.

ETTFOS Quantum Leap is complete in itself: it takes you from A to Z. For those who want to go further, optional advanced programs are available, such as the Advanced Techniques courses in Stocks, Options in Stocks and Options in Futures, and others, including real-time trading and crypto programs; the team can tell you more. They are usually most useful to those who trade larger capital.

The team covers this with you in your free strategy briefing, together with the fee.

Yes. ETTFOS Quantum Leap has a first-day money-back guarantee.

Fulfill your financial commitment as agreed in your enrollment terms, then attend the first day from start to finish, and be present during the session. Still feel it is not up to the standard? Ask for a full refund within 6 hours of the session ending.

If you do not ask, you have chosen to continue, and no later refunds or cancellations can be made.

Apart from this guarantee, no cancellations or refunds are permitted once a payment, or any part of one, has been made.

The program fee is shared in your free strategy briefing, once the team understands what you need. Professional traders spend years developing the skill set you can learn in the program.

You can’t enroll on the website. The first step is a free strategy call with a specialist, then a strategy briefing, online or in person, with more sessions if you would like them. When the program is the right fit for both sides, you enroll in the next available class; places are by invitation.

A meeting with a specialist, online or in person, after your free strategy call: a presentation with a live screen share, where the team learns what you need, shows you what ETTFOS has that fits, and explores the options with you. More sessions can be scheduled if you would like them, and there is no obligation to join.

A specialist calls you, usually within 24 hours, on the phone number you give: a few minutes on the phone, where most of your first questions are answered.

If you would like to go further, you then schedule your free strategy briefing, online or in person: a presentation with a live screen share, so you see everything for yourself. You can schedule more than one session, so everything is transparent and clear before you make any decision.

When everything is clear and the program is the right fit for both sides, you enroll in the next available class. There is no obligation at any step.

They are kept securely in ETTFOS’s customer records and used by the company, which may contact you about its services. Your details are never sold or published. The Privacy policy says more.

The strategy call takes just a few minutes. The strategy briefing that follows lasts about 20 minutes, and more sessions can be scheduled if you would like them. Booking the call takes only a few minutes: you fill in a short form with your details and a few questions about what you are looking for.

No, they are different things. The Private Strategy Consultation Session in the program’s value list is a private mentorship and planning session, usually taken after the program. The free strategy call and strategy briefing come first, before you join.

Yes. The homepage’s eight-minute film explains the whole system, and the testimonials page shows letters from past students, in their own words.

You are also welcome to book a free strategy call first and talk through your needs on the phone, before you schedule a strategy briefing: use the same short form.

Instead of trial classes or open days, ETTFOS offers a free strategy call and strategy briefing, with more than one session if you would like it before you decide. ETTFOS Quantum Leap also has a first-day money-back guarantee, and the testimonials page shows past students’ letters.
