"I recently attended in-person Futures Trading class in Irvine, and I can honestly say the instructor, Chris Muldoon is one of the most dedicated instructors I have ever learned from. What stands out most is his student-centered and hands-on teaching style. He doesn’t simply lecture and move on—he actively engages students throughout the class, making sure everyone is following along and understanding the material. He encourages students to take notes together and participate in the learning process, which helps reinforce key concepts. I particularly appreciate his emphasis on building a systematic trading routine and process. He teaches students how to develop repeatable habits and disciplined execution, and then works through those processes alongside the class so everyone can see how they are applied in real time. His philosophy of “create the process, execute the process, and repeat the process” provides a solid framework for traders at any level. He is also incredibly encouraging and genuinely invested in his students’ success. Rather than overcomplicating trading, he consistently looks for the simplest and most practical ways to help students understand concepts and improve their skills. His patience, dedication, and commitment to student learning make his classes both educational and enjoyable. I would highly recommend his class to anyone looking to develop a structured and disciplined approach to futures trading."
