Happy I didn't enroll with Trade Surge
I went to a Life Surge event—loved it—then attended the 3-day Trade Surge program. Different experience entirely. High-pressure, rushed, and they wanted $35K+ without providing a clear or transparent understanding of what was actually included.
I walked away and started Googling "Trade Surge reviews" and "Trade Surge alternatives." That's how I found Grok Trade.
I've now done Grok Trade's Trading 101, 201, and the 3-day 301 Mentorship. 401 Master Trader is next.
The difference? They actually teach you to read a chart before anything else. No secret indicators, no proprietary software pitch—just the skill. The mentors trade themselves and explain why something works, not just what to click.
In the Grok classes, it feels like a one-on-one experience. You can ask questions in real time while the instructor is teaching, which keeps the class interactive and engaging.
It was a fraction of the cost. But more importantly, I actually understand what I'm looking at now. That's what I was paying for.
If you're researching after walking away from one of those events, I highly recommend that you check out Grok Trade.
Great experience
It is the personal interaction with the mentors that makes groktrade so amazing. They truly care about your success and make themselves available for questions and answers. The intruction is genuine and authentic and they take the time to make sure you are a success.
Grok Trading is like being family
I’ve been greatly helped and encouraged by my experience with Grok Trading and Des and his team. Beyond the knowledge and expertise of their many years of trading experience, their trading classes are very personal and the classes feel more like being part of a big loving family that is growing and sharing their combined expertise than simply being one of many participants in a paid program.
Great program with mentorship
Great program with mentors that teach from experience. I was going to sign up with Life Surge, but I have no regrets being part of the Grok's training program.
The mentorship is what I was really seeking after, and the mentors at Grok have been awesome!
I grew my account +11.2% in 30 days
I grew my account +11.2% in 30 days! Thanks to the EXPERT attention of my mentors at GrokTrade my Technical Analysis skills have matured and I feel confident trading.
Why Grok Was Right For Me:
Making the decision to learn how to trade was easy. Deciding how to make it happen was more difficult. I was leery of all the online opportunities that began filling my social media feed once I began looking for a good option. You just never know what you will get from unsolicited ads all promising the same thing. I attended a local 3-day seminar for a more direct hands-on experience. The three-day event was offered through Trade Surge. I felt like the time and money spent on the event was worth it, but I know that I could not learn how to trade in three days. Another takeaway from the Trade Surge event was that it seemed to me that their main trading strategy was to mimic what institutional traders were doing. Trade Surge does offer the continued educational mentorship I was interested in. I knew going in that the purpose of offering the three-day event was to market a more hands-on mentorship program. I understand that learning a new skill would take an investment on my end if I was serious about it. Once I learned what my mentorship options would be through Trade Surge, I wanted to think it over. It was a big financial commitment. Additionally, it was a time-limited commitment meaning the mentorship programs were in one-, two-, or four-year intervals where each option increased in cost. Before making a final decision, I wanted to keep looking around. This is when I found Grok Trade. The reason I decided to go with Grok Trade was threefold. One, I wanted to learn the skill of trading not learn how to copy institutional traders. Two, Grok Trade provided unlimited mentoring access, so I did not need to worry about not understanding something within the timeframe of one, two, or four years. Three, the cost was about half as much. Additionally, when I spoke with the Grok Team, my questions were answered in a professional manner, multiple payment options were provided, and I was even given access to a previous instructional session so I could get a feel for the type of learning environment I could expect. I was glad I did not jump at the first thing offered because I believe I was led to where I am supposed to be.

Class was top shelf!!!!
Class was top shelf. Mark was very professional as well as kind and met students where they were in their learning curve. He took his time in explaining concepts and introduced me to concepts that will definately enhance my trading experience.
From the beginning, Janell did not "push"any agenda or upsell any product. I really felt their mission to help traders become the best version of themselves.
Would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to learn about trading and its best practices. Thanks to Mark, Janell and Des for your kindness, caring and non-pressure approach.
With respect,
Joe
I took all the courses at Grok Trade…
I took all the courses at Grok Trade and learned so much valuable information from Des, Mark, and Romulus. Learned trading view, trend lines, patterns, and how to use indicators and oscillators. I'm a true killer in the market because of Grok Trade, making 100% plus per year on my portfolios thanks to D7. Ethereum is a buy buy buy the dip!
Great 501 class. Learned a lot.Thank you Des.

Humbly Grateful!
Went through the 301 again. Of course it was free :-)
The second time around was like getting a reflection of my actions over the last 2 months and this time it hit on a whole different level. Mark knows exactly what you need to hear and will reinforce it. His sheer decades of experience is constantly apparent. It was like he was reading my mind and telling me what I needed. Easily the best course I've ever taken (taken 6 on different topics). Mark and Des have been the most genuine and intellectual. Certainly not your average online guru's here. These guys are the real deal!

learning proper rules for trading stocks for greater success
great, informative content. knowledgeable instructor
leRatings:
5+ for Grok Trade – Des – brilliant, generous
5+ for Mark as knowledgeable trader and excellent
Instructor
5+ print outs
Anyone wanting to trade would be hard pressed to find any organization with a better program for teaching students to become successful traders.
First met Mark some 15 years ago who said Des was about to start a program on trading, After taking my first course, I knew I had found a winner.
During the weekend of Feb 15,I re took the 3 day level 301 GROK stock training course with Mark. Due to illness. Had not traded for almost 5 years and had forgotten how to properly trade. The refresher course was what I needed! First time I took course many years ago, I took copious pages of notes as there few handouts. This time there were detailed print outs each morning and afternoon. Notes could be written on relevant pages. Much easier to listen and learn. Mark is an excellent instructor. Explains in detail and takes time to respond to questions. You can tell he is committed to helping everyone be better traders . Time was spent on the components of technical analysis. We looked at charts, using several criteria to determine suitiability for buying, when to buy,how many to buy and setting a stop loss. A key message “never buy a chart pattern, buy the breakout.
Mark requests attendees to develop a trading plan, send it in for review, and it will be returned with suggestions for improvement. There is also a detailed trading log that is to be sent in after 25 trades. Mark will review these and identify which were bought and sold according to the charts.
The following week-end I took 401 with Des. Des who took Marks work one step further. The most valuable to me was Des describing his rationale for trades - from beginning to end – from whether to buy, or when to buy , at what price, setting original stop loss, and moving when required. By following rules, makes it easier to trade “properly.Some time was spent introducing ’Algorhythms. As that section was new to me, it was harder to absorb.
I know I did not absorb everything in these two courses, so shall be retaking when offered again. The generosity of Des – retakes are free.
And as a grok member, I now have mentors for life.

This knowledge will make you stand apart in the market!
I took the 301 the previous weekend and then jumped into the 401s. The 401 was truly next level! It is hard to jump into the 401 without taking the 301, especially for a novice trader like me. Des taught the 401 and went over some really advanced trading techniques. I absolutely loved the algorithms. Des ran through some Grok proprietary algorithms but also other ones available on trading view. The Grok algorithms far outpaces everything out there in terms of performance. If you want to be a super advanced trader with supreme success in the markets, you need to take the 401 advanced course! Des is a awesome teacher!! 2 other friends of mine took this course with me and their heads were equally blown!

Great Learning at Grok Trade
Great Learning at Grok Trade from Master Traders - Des and Mark!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars but that’s the maximum here. I happened to attend Grok Grad’s 101 and 201 classes followed by their 3 day immersive 301 classes on trading. They were well put together, in depth and quality content. After taking these classes, my understanding has exponentially increased. The fun fact is that the class I attended had novice and veteran traders together. Still, all were able to glean a lot of learning from that class and had AH-HA moments. They touch upon key topics that 90% of the traders miss out. This is an edge you get when you learn from Grok trade. If there are universities for teaching trading, I would say that Grok Trade is the MIT university for offering trading education. On top of all these they make sure you become successful through lifetime mentoring for no additional fee. These classes are best for day traders, swing traders, or position traders.
Mark the “meerkat” is excellent. He is called “meerkat” for a reason. You’ll find out when you attend his classes. He is on a mission with a passion to help novice and veteran traders. He was very patient with us while teaching and made sure that every student understands the concepts he taught.
Attending Grok’s trading classes is one of the best choices that I made.
Thanks Des and Mark for giving me this wonderful exposure to the world of trading!

Grok - Learn to invest the correct way.
I've been with Grok Trade for about 5 years. Before Grok - I chased every shiny coin and investment ad online. Grok Trade is a small group that genuinely cares and teaches proper investment strategy. These people stay in contact with you and want to see and discuss your trades. They are very hands-on.
Furthermore, learning investing takes time. Grok is always running review classes to reinforce proper trading techniques and strategy. If you want to do it right and learn to trade - Grok is the absolute way to go. Just look at their track record and number of years in the industry.
Grok - the best investment I ever made.

Top Shelf Swing Trade Coaching
My wife and I took Grok 301 and the Advanced Trend line training/coaching. Each week we continue to listen to Des' weekly market overview for updated education and reinforcement.
What made all of the above great was the clarity, detail, and personal attention/customer service by Des and Mark. The training and on going coaching has been invaluable to our ability to identify trade set ups and draw exact trends lines. The training and continued coaching has immensely improved our trading: execution, management, and closing trades.

401 Not Seeking the Best Training and Mentoring can Cost your Account
I just completed a retake of 401 course and it was a fantastic experience. The technical knowledge concepts taught/shared,the interactive exercises completed during the course and the thoughts & experiences shared by other class members will increase my success in trading. I first complete GrokTrade 301 in September 2020 and have retaken 301 and 401 multiple times since then..

Grok trade's the real deal
UPDATE: Thanks to Grok Trade's trendline methodology, I've been able to turn $2k into $20k (okay technically $19.6k but 20 sounds better) in a little over 3 months. I took what they taught in the mentorship program and decided to engage the markets with options. They taught me how to identify the best charts/technical setups, and I chose to narrow my focus on a few setups that repeat like clockwork (if you're patient to let them form!). In the last month alone, I'm up $8.5k. Never thought I'd be able to attain this. So so SO thankful for the education I got from Grok Trade.
Grok trade's the real deal. Mark and Des both are fantastic mentors and made the learning experience enjoyable. I would be MILES behind in my trading career were it not for them and the curriculum taught in the 301 and 401 mentorship classes. Learning from real traders makes all the difference.
