Frequently Asked Questions
The time required to achieve Black Belt Certification varies depending on each trader’s commitment, experience, and learning pace. Typically, it takes several months to complete all lower belt certifications and fulfill the Black Belt requirements.

The cost of the Black Belt Certification Program is included in your 0-DTE membership. There are no additional fees for participating in the certification program. However, there might be extra costs for attending certain workshops, webinars, or other events.
Although the Black Belt Certification equips you with advanced knowledge, strategies, and techniques, success in trading ultimately depends on your ability to apply these concepts consistently and adapt to ever-changing market conditions.
