Everything you wanted to know about Jeff Quinto’s Professional Trader Mentoring Program and the Express Program, but were afraid to ask.
1. Why do I need a mentor?
Would you feel comfortable riding in an airplane flown by a pilot who learned to fly by trial and error?
Would you be confident in a doctor who read every book on medicine, but never studied under another doctor?
Of course not, you would expect the pilot and the doctor to be thoroughly trained, not just by trail and error or from reading books, but from hands-on training from senior pilots and experienced doctors. In the same way, a trading mentor can help you dramatically advance in your trading in ways that you could not advance on your own.
By working with a mentor, you can take advantage of his years of experience without having to take years to get that experience. The right mentor can give you an edge that other traders without mentors do not have.
2. How much experience should I have?
There are traders in the program who have only modest experience as well as veteran traders with years of successful trading experience who manage significant accounts. New traders should understand the basics of the futures markets and be committed to learning. New traders may not have much experience, but they, also, do not have bad habits that need to be broken.
3. Do I need to come with my own setups and trading plan?
No, I have a series of setups that I give mentoring traders if they do not have their own setups or if they are not confident in the setups they have been using. If you have been successful using your own setups, then we will design a trading plan to maximize your results using your setups. My goal is to help you find your own path to further success.
4. Can I talk to other traders who have gone through the program?
Absolutely, there are traders who have been though the program who are happy to speak to new potential mentoring traders. Also, you can click on the Trader Testimonials tab to read what other traders think of their experience working with me.
5. Is the program customizable for me in terms of time and content covered?
Absolutely, one of the reasons for the series of meetings before we even get started is to design a program that makes the most sense for the trader given his schedule, his goals and his needs.
6. How much does it cost and how do I pay for it?
The 48-session Professional Trader Mentoring Program is $9,700, if paid in advance, or it may be paid in three monthly installments of $3,497, if more convenient. Mentoring charges are due in advance and can be paid by credit card or bank transfer through PayPal or they may be paid by check made out to: Jeff Quinto’s Professional Trader Mentoring and sent to: Jeff Quinto, 608 Birch Blossom Road, Verona, WI 53593.
7. What is the 20-Session Professional Trader Mentoring Program?
For experienced futures traders, Jeff offers a 20-session Professional Trader Mentoring Program which is designed for experienced traders who do not need the full mentoring program. It is expected that this would be a stand-alone program for most experienced traders. The program starts with an in-depth understanding of the methodology the trader uses and, then, proceeds to refine and improve that methodology. In most cases, the risk management employed by the trader would be significantly upgraded during the 20-sessions. This program is available on a case-by-case basis for a single payment of $4,995.
8. What if I go on vacation or have work commitments during the Mentoring Program?
The Professional Trader Mentoring Program includes 48 one-on-one sessions with me and the 20-Session Professional Trader Mentoring Program for Experienced Traders includes 20 one-on-one sessions with me. There is no penalty if the trader misses a session as long as he notifies me in advance. In this way, traders in the program can attend to non-trading business without being penalized.
9. What can I do to continue my mentorship with Jeff after I have completed the program?
After the initial one-on-one sessions with me, Mentoring Traders can elect to continue their mentoring with me on a per-session basis of $1,500 for five hours. Many traders speak with me for an hour once a week or once a month.
10. What is expected of me?
I expect traders to be committed to success in their trading. I am willing to design the program to match the trader’s time constraints, as well as his work and personal responsibilities and I expect the trader to be as committed to his success as I am.

Gregor Cotman’s recommendation
I started working with Jeff Quinto in December 2008. I was already several years into the business of trading. My trading was profitable before I met him, but I knew there is much more to learn so I wanted to take my trading career to the next level.
Working side by side with Mr. Quinto for last few months was really a joyous experience. I must tell you that he is a real professional with unbelievable patience and kindness. My trading results when working with him were 2 profitable months out of 3 and a profit overall. He really taught me more than my ego likes to admit.
If you are thinking about whether Mr. Quinto should be your mentor and if he can help you, please read his Bio. It is really amazing. I think one sentence from one of his e-mails says it nicely: “You can get the benefit of my 37 years in futures trading business without taking 37 years to get it.”
Is that worth the price? I think the price is too low. I thank Mr. Quinto for offering us his services.
Also, I want to mention that the student is the one who will have to do the work and the mentor can only guide him. It’s like a bodybuilder going to the gym and expecting his coach to lift the weights, instead of him. No. You will have to lift those weights, but he can advise you how to do it the easiest, smartest and faster way! If you will only listen.
I am looking to continue working with Mr. Quinto in the future since I find him to be an invaluable trainer and advisor on my trading team.
