Anyone have experience with Lex Van Dam Trading Academy?

I typically would be pretty skeptical about these kinds of things, but a trading competition I'm planning to attend (Traders@MIT Trading Competition) gives these out as a prize for the beginner division, which seems like some kind of endorsement to a degree

Anyone have experience with the Lex Van Dam Trading Academy's online course: 5-step trading stocks?

I haven't tried it out... I was thinking about it at a certain point, but something seemed sketchy about it... Although the beginner traders in BBC's Million Dollar Traders tv series were taught the same courses by Lex Van Dam himself. If it's a price what's to lose?

 

I never took other courses but I really wanted to see what Lex teaches as his ways seem very professional and he has a huge expertise. Both courses I took were very insightful and educational. Now I follow Lex on Twitter.
