"Thanks for all of your help. It's been a pleasure dealing with you and I know I've said it previously but you do an absolutely superb job.

"Justine, I would personally like to thank you for all your wisdom, kindness and compassion you have bestowed upon me through your personal mentoring. You have enabled me to discover new oceans filled with endless opportunities which I never knew exited. I feel forever blessed and honoured to be one of your students and a friend." Pete Wolf-Jones, NSW |

"If you wish to learn, fully, how to make investment decisions using technical analysis, this successful lady, Justine Pollard, can be your mentor. She definitely knows how to teach and train you the best time to buy and sell and above all her money and risk management policies are the hidden ingredients for your successful investing. A lady with a great future - learn from her and prosper." William H Grey, NSW |
"Unless you are very lucky and have someone to guide and educate you with trading, you are very much alone. I found Justine while doing a search for trading mentors, I liked what I read, so I phoned her, she explained the programs, and unlike others, was not pushy, and I felt here is someone I can trust."
Gareth Wan, NSW
"I have studied with a number of trading tutors, but none has given me the confidence I have gained from working with Justine. As an educator myself, I have been constantly impressed with the professional manner in which Justine delivers her training."
Julie Burley, QLD
"I started to trade after attending a seminar. After the first year of trading I lost more than 60% of my trading capital! I was going to stop trading, when I met Justine Pollard, trading was as much of an investment as gambling. Fortunately for me Justine is someone whom you instantly understand that trading is more than gambling and that one can approach trading professionally and make very good returns safely. After undertaking personal training with Justine I started to trade, and have succeeded in returning an accumulated average well over 20% ever since!!
If you want to take the gambling out of trading and put the professionalism into it, study with someone who actually trades and does it in a professional manner. I can not make a higher recommendation than Justine Pollard. She is a passionate teacher, the lessons are always well prepared. In fact it is amazing that she still has time to teach. What ever course she is offering take it, as it will represent your most valuable trading investment."
Frank Sellam, NSW
"Justine, you are one of those rare professional traders who is completely willing to show others your system and hold our hands and provide the tools while mastering it for ourselves. I just wish I had access to this sort of service a few years ago!!!"
Nicky Prince, NSW
"There is a saying "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. When I turned to Justine to refine my Metastock explorations, I actually uncovered an incredible pot of gold filled with a fantastic knowledge and understanding about trading the Stock market. She is schooled in a tradition and style that I felt very comfortable with, and presented at a level that just set my trading knowledge on fire."
Andrew Morton, Christchurch, New Zealand

"Wow, your video training sessions are superb!! Your Smart Trading Plan & System Development Course was already top of the line and now this just takes it to a whole new level. The video sessions are going to be extremely helpful for those starting your courses. A step by step visual guide of learning to trade is just what I needed and will appeal to many types of learners. Although I had done your course prior to the videos coming out they have really improved my trading and refined my skills. I am ten times more efficient with my trading routine now. Last but not least thank you for all the time you put into those you are teaching to trade. You always go over and above!" Kiri Merritt, WA |
 | "Thank you for your Smart Trading Plan & System Development Course, it has taught me the importance of discipline, and money management, and as a result, I now control my losses with more precision than I did before. I have been very happy with the results to date: several moderate profits, and one 100% profit." Gerard O'Grady, NSW |
 | "I have just completed all the training from the Deluxe Smart Training Pack and my Trading Plan. I would like to thank you very much for the excellent and professional training. I thoroughly enjoyed the audio courses and especially liked the fact that I could re-listen to sections to ensure I understood them - something which certainly could not be done in a traditional classroom style course." Nola Chaplin, VIC |
 | "The course was inspiring, easy to follow and has provided a great foundation for me to get stuck into trading. Justine's instructions help to bring focus in a field where there is advice and books providing confusion in all directions." Sue Harris, VIC |
 | "The course is comprehensive, well paced and covers all aspects of trading. Trading plan template compliments the course very well. Extremely valuable to someone such as myself who has been trading for a number of years with varying degrees of success. I expect my trading to now go to a higher level. " Peter Dawber, New Zealand |
 | "I have found your Smart Trading Plan & System Development Course to be extremely beneficial. I have been trading for nearly five years with sporadic success. Your ability to explain things from a traders perspective and outlining events that may happen (which I certainly can relate to!) have made me feel more comfortable with my progress. Your focus on the money management and emotions is certainly where I am up to. I have completed a diploma in Technical Analysis through ATAA and found it excellent but all the tools and indicators in the world will not make me a better trader. Your course has enabled me to complete my first plan and it is like having a weight taken off my shoulders to have something I can turn to to ensure I follow the rules when things happen quickly and unexpectedly." |
 | "Justine, I recently purchased your Deluxe Smart Trading pack and love the programme. Over the years I have completed a couple of trading courses and read many books on the subject but nothing comes close to the straight forward easy to follow mechanical approach that you have and I congratulate you." |
 | "Your Smart Trading Plan & System Development Course is excellent. I did not expect I would get this much understanding out of it, especially as English is my second language. Having the supporting audio with each lesson meant I was able to re-listen to the sessions again and again, which has ensured that I understood everything and I get more out of it each time. Thank you so much for a wonderful course and all your support in replying to my questions, I didn’t expect to get this much from you." |
"Thanks for the Ultimate Smart Training Pack, it is terrific, I wish I had got into it a year ago when I began looking at it, better late than never. The pack has surpassed my expectation and your concise explanations of what is important in your refreshing simple system is a treat. All the various components fit neatly into the bigger picture of a comprehensive and clearly explained approach to trading. I have gone through everything once and have written out a trading plan based on your template, and returned to various sessions and tutorials as required, I have much more confidence in my approach to the market now, and it has opened my eyes to the simplicity and power of MetaStock."
Jonathan Phillips, S.A.
"Justine's Smart Trading Plan & System Development Course helped me tie together my fragmented knowledge of trading. She assisted me to develop my trading plan and her risk and strict money management is an absolute essential . It is fantastic to find a professional who is willing to share their knowledge. I highly recommend her trading courses. Thank you very much Justine."
Tom Gocev, NSW
"Thank you Justine I have just finished your Deluxe Smart Training Pack, and I am very impressed with all the 11 modules. You make it so easy to understand. I have traded CFDs in the past but kept getting stopped out with too tight a stops, making little profits and getting nowhere. Your trailing stop strategy will sort all my problems out. Your money management is more then I expected, with the Smart Trader Spreadsheet I should accelerate in my trading. Thank you Justine, I wish I had known about you 4 years ago when I first started trading. I think every new and seasoned traders should do your course or at least have your Smart Trader Spreadsheet. Thank you Justine, I am a much happier trader."
Colin Robinson, QLD
"I have read a lot of books and attended workshops; they all talk about having a trading plan and money management rules. It was not until I did the course that it all started to make sense. It covered everything from setting goals and objectives, trading routine, trading tools and the most important part risk & money management. I now had everything I needed to write my own trading plan."
Laurie Bransom, NSW
"Thanks very much for the course. I feel that I really got a lot out of it. It was easy to follow and I found your open and honest attitude great. I felt that you spoke on our level rather than like some "experts" who cover topics very quickly and assume a particular degree of knowledge. You made trading shares and CFDs seem 'do-able' for the average person who doesn't hold an economics degree or who doesn't have a background in finance! "
Susan Bailey, QLD
"Thanks Justine! I watched all the course videos today, they're great. They really turbo-charge the rate of comprehension. Much appreciated!"
Rob Hunter, NSW
"I purchased your Smart Technical Analysis Home Study Course and the Smart Trading Plan & System Development Online Course. May I say that they were both extremely well presented, both the manuals and the mp3 audio recordings were brilliant, so easy to follow that even I could fully comprehend. At first I did not intend to purchase the Smart Trader Spreadsheet but was so glad I changed my mind as it is also brilliant, does all the work for me and is so well explained in the user manual. I would like to thank you for sharing your investment knowledge, strategies and secrets with me."
Dave C, QLD
"Thanks a lot for offering such a detailed course at a reasonable price. The Smart Trading Plan & System Development Online Course has helped me put all my knowledge together and will certainly hold me in good stead to reach my goals of consistently profitable trading."
Scott Kavanagh, NSW

Darren Dunn, QLD

"I am very impressed with the Smart Technical Analysis Home Study Course. I have read many books on charting and trading and was very confused. This home study course is very user friendly and is going to assist my trading decisions tremendously."
Frank Sellam, NSW
"An excellent starting point for anyone who is interested in commencing trading using technical analysis. Easy to follow format, flow of information and good exercises. "
Jag De Alwis, NSW
"It was a way of simplifying how to get started in trading and was relevant to the Australian market place. Excellently produced."
John Mulley, NSW
"I would like to express my appreciation for your Smart Technical Analysis Home Study Course. This has helped me a great deal in understanding Technical Analysis particularly how Moving Averages work and how to apply them. I have read quite a few books on trading/technical analysis and by far this has been the only one that has explained this subject clearly and easy to understand; the exercises have helped me feel confident in my learning."
Jackie Espino, NSW
"I recently completed your Smart Technical Analysis Home Study Course and I am halfway through reading your book. It's given me a lot of ideas to consider, especially after placing a number of trades last year during the upturn in the market - I now realise I could've made more money than I did by following the information I now know. The number one thing I have taken on board is a stop loss. This would've saved me a substantial amount of my annual profit on the one trade where I kept losing money while hoping that the trend would turn around."
Jonathan Nixon, NSW

 | "For more than five years I've been a constant user of the Smart Trader Spreadsheet and would not trade without it. I trade shares, CFDs and FX and the Smart Trader Spreadsheet handles everything from position sizing, trade management, performance reporting and portfolio management with simplicity and ease. It is an exceptional trade management tool that dovetails beautifully with my trading plan and makes trade management a breeze." Fay Benjamin, QLD |
 | "What has impressed me with the Spreadsheet is that it is very simple to use, even for myself who is not very computer literate, yet gives a vast amount of information even for the most advanced traders. I can highly recommend the Smart Trader Spreadsheet to anyone from the basic trader to the very advanced." Tammy Mitchum, NSW |
| "Your Smart Trader Spreadsheet is excellent. I have been using my own spreadsheet for years continually modifying it and upgrading it to make it do what I wanted but your layout and cross referencing of data is superb and I know it will be an essential part of my routine." |
"If you want to trade professionally, then this is an amazing tool to have working on your side. It is so easy to use and it is such a relief off my mind to know that every trade I make is position sized depending on the percentage risk I am willing to tolerate. Once I am bullish or bearish on a share I simply enter the price of the share and its ATR and I know instantly where my stop losses are, how many shares I can buy, where I break even, when I can pyramid, my profit and loss, etc. It is just so practical to manage your trading and to have all that information in front of you. The best part though is that I can also see what my overall performance is, my expectancy, my average win to loss ratio, my average hold time, just to name a few. I've been using it for over 4 years and I can't trade without it. I believe the Smart Trader Spreadsheet has helped me to survive my early stages of trading and become a profitable trader in the market. This is definitely worth every cent."
Frank Sellam, NSW
"....this spreadsheet will be invaluable for running trading in a business like manner. I should have purchased this before I started trading."
John Mulley, NSW
"I have used the Smart Trader Spreadsheet since Nov 2002. It has enabled me to keep accurate control of my market exposure, record keeping, and expectancy. This is the level of accuracy I was aspiring to. Justine has saved me many hours of effort trying to resolve these issues."
Andrew Morton, Christchurch, New Zealand
"The Spreadsheet is extremely simple to use and takes the guesswork out of my trading business."
Robyn Roberts, NSW
"The Smart Trader Spreadsheet has made the more mundane tasks of trading less time consuming and tiresome. The paperwork is now a non-issue, and trade and risk management are as mechanical and instantaneous as you want it to be. I'm very happy to recommend the Smart Trader Spreadsheet - it's a key component in my trading routine."
Paul Welsby, NSW
"The Smart Trader Spreadsheet has been a real Godsend for some years now, auditing, recording and summarising all my trading so I know where I'm at and it's all so easy for the accountant. I don't know what I'd do without this tool now."
Chris C, VIC
"I have been using the Spreadsheet for over two years now and it allows me to see exactly where I am up to and assisted me as I have continued to learn about the Art of Trading. I simply plug in my capital, my trades, my risk profile and position sizing and the Smart Trader Spreadsheet does the rest. It always keeps me aware and helps me manage my money."
Leonie Stewart-Weeks, NSW

“Thank you! Your Maximising MetaStock is a great course. I was fairly comfortable using Metastock but have always thought there must be some easier ways of doing the things that I was doing. Your course has assisted me in simplifying MetaStock without having to spend lots of time tinkering with it and trying to work it out myself. I now have it all set-up and my charts are looking pretty good now.”
Darren Dunn, QLD
“Thank you Justine for the Maximising MetaStock online course. It is an excellent collection of videos that has helped me demystify MetaStock. It has given me a great start rather than what I had, a whole bundle of cds and books from Equis International that I could neither make head nor tail of. I liked that I could pause and rewind the videos and follow along step-by-step with MetaStock open on my screen in another window. The videos along with the downloadable workbook are an excellent study program that I recommend to others who need assistance with setting up and demystifying MetaStock..”
