Ali ruined it and made TWM look like a scam.
I have followed Ali since late 2022. I was attracted to his ability to break down price action into quantifiable actions. Unlike the confusing descriptions I had seen in the BTC, Ali made trading seem structured and understandable.
PTM: I became a loyal subscriber and stayed until late 2024. The early recordings from 2022 to June 2023 were excellent, and the community was full of passionate and talented people. After that, however, the content became repetitive, new students often asked irrelevant questions, and sessions became long and unproductive. Early PTM: 5/5. After January 2024: 3/5 at most. I can't comment on PTM after 2024 because I was no longer there.
SA2: I joined SA2 2025 with high expectations. My goal was to computerize my trading systems, which I had already told him before joining. However, despite automation being part of the program's marketing, there was essentially no guidance at all. Whenever I asked Ali about that, he simply told me I was already good enough.
The biggest value of SA2 was meeting serious traders. But if you don't already know how to trade, I don't think the course provides much meaningful guidance, especially regarding trade exits. 2.5/5 in my opinion.
TWM: This is where things really went wrong. TWM was sold to me as a course about system execution. In the first session, Ali entered a long on an ATH liquidation day, held the losing position, and added 7-8 times before eventually turning it into a small win. He later explained that he hadn't slept well and that it was his first livestream.
Unfortunately, this pattern continued. He never traded a system. There were multiple questionable trades, including one where he added 9 times to a losing position that ultimately became a loss. Other times, he became completely paralyzed and took no trade in the entire session. Everything is clear in hindsight, but everything is a flip in real time for him. And he just uses "discretion" and "experience" as a universal excuse for his decisions. I think it has nothing to do with discretion but just bad trades.
What concerns me most is that Ali rarely reads the actual bar-by-bar price action. He focuses heavily on his expectations of the day types and historical charts that resemble the current day. He rarely discusses, real PA context: e.g. gaps, measured moves, support/resistances, or the actual PA bar by bar. And of course, most of the time, he is wrong.
His trade management makes this even worse. He rarely cuts losses quickly and often takes tiny profits, creating terrible risk/reward. I remember in a public 3-hour session where he risked $1,000 to make $30. His explanations afterward went from "not sleeping well" to "this is a low probability event" to "big institutions don't trade with stops," while encouraging students to trade like that.
Pardon my language, but I think this is pure BULLSHIT. After the session, I heard the Al Brooks community might have cut ties with QS because Ali was denied the invitation to the Price Action webinar. TWM is nothing quant or systematic. What he does is inconsistent from what he teaches.
I sent Ali two emails asking for answers or simply a conversation. I sent multiple QA requests before. He never replied. I also spoke with several TWM subscribers. some had already dropped out. None were happy to see it. We all gave critical & friendly feedback, but nothing changed.
Now, I honestly don't think Ali can trade at all. I don't sense the kind of thinking process from Ali that I would expect from a real price-action trader. The true "system" he adopts is called "Grid Martingale", which is a proven losing strategy.
My recommendation: early PTM (2022–2023) does help you to start your learning; SA2 is overpriced for its worth, you are mostly on your own and not much teaching; TWM is a failure.
I give an overall 1-star because, most knowledge taught in the courses are already found in the BTC communities and Dr. Tharps' books, which are mostly correct actually. But consider the high price and Ali shows that he doesn't do what he teaches and can't manage his trades well, I don't think he is qualified to be your coach. Brooks trading room seems a better place to be. And rely on yourself!
Update: Ali responded. He assumes I have lost a lot and blames me for the negative review. I don't think people care about me. He even attacks Trustpilot now.
Practically, Ali dodges all criticisms and continues on the same path. In Aug. session, Ali faded a mid-day TR BO, SCALED-IN forever and turned it into a HUGE LOSS. He can't see the TR-Trend transition because he doesn't read or doesn't know how to read the PA. This is the part I complain the most. Now he is saying he deliberately shows some bad trades and calls them educational? I don't believe nobody wants them and this is just another excuse.
Antwort von Quant Systems
Thanks for sharing your thought.
A little about Han, first. He was my student in SA2. He is a brilliant young man, and a knowledge collector. Great with learning, but nothing seems to be enough.
It is a personality trait and I see it in Han's trading, too. He made a lot of money using what he learned from us but lost most of it, too. Not knowing what and when it is enough or when to stop and review is not going to help a trader.
Unlimited more is not the answer, but looking for happiness is, which is one of the core concepts we emphasize.
The more important issue however is Trustpilot and all review website. People who are really happy have no reason to post a review and those who are unhappy have every reason to post a negative review, so Trustpilot is basically a garbage collector.
As a trader, you must rely on yourself first. If you are someone who reads reviews to make a big decision like this, you are probably not a good fit for Quant Systems. We want independent people who trust their own judgement above everything else, because that is the personality trait that makes a trader an independent thinker and successful.
PTM rounds 2 and 3 are repeats of PTM round 1. So, it is natural for someone who went through the first round to be a little bored with the repeats of the same course.
Regarding emails: We have not received any emails from Han. The proper way of contacting us is through the Contact Us page on our website. There is backend system that organizes messages and directs them to the right person. We read every single one and reply.
Regarding SA2: we can only show you the path but you are the one to walk it. Han is good with analysis and coding, but he still lacks the necessary creativity to put things together. Also, striving for the impossible won't make you successful. That is the theme I see with him. I told Han several times he should focus on creating a balanced system and accept its losses. He has the knowledge but that unlimited more issue gets in his way.
TWM live sessions is not there to impress anyone. We want to talk about charts in a live market and put on some good and bad trades. People, however, what to get inspired. The source of inspiration should come from somewhere else, not from a trading room.
Regarding my trading: I am very happy with where I am after over a decade of trading full time and don't feel any need, or pressure to prove it to you or anyone else. I suffice to say, come back and discuss your trading when you've written your first five or six figure check to pay your taxes on your profits.
We are not perfect and don't claim to be perfect, but I think it is very clear that we are doing all that we can do to the best of our ability to help others succeed in a challenging endeavor.
I don't claim to be the best trader in the world, but I am 100% transparent with what I do and have sincerely done the utmost possible to help others.
For some people, nothing is ever enough.
