Patrick Ceresna's trading confession

Trying To Be Right Was The Trap.For years, Patrick chased what most traders chase: better calls, better timing, better odds. Then he realized the real edge was in the part most traders ignore — defining the risk before chasing the reward.

In this industry, there are an incredible number of charlatans offering advice, insider secrets, or just selling their book to unsuspecting newbies. Patrick is not like this. He's the real deal and I can't recommend BPT highly enough.

The educational approach

Define the risk before you chase the reward.

Work through the same framework professional traders use, understanding what's at stake before any position opens. The goal isn't to predict the market. It's to design the trade with the maximum asymmetry.

“It's not whether you're right or wrong, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong.”

Asymmetric structure

Structuring trades where being wrong costs you very little, but being right pays off massively. That asymmetry is the entire game.

From traders who'd tried everything

We hear the same thing over and over again.

Patrick takes something genuinely complex and explains it so anyone can actually understand it. No jargon. No pretending. Just clarity.

This course is an opportunity to shortcut your learning curve by 10 to 20 years. Before this, I didn't have a solid strategy, but now I have a real framework to apply. It's a total no-brainer — I already made the money back from the course in the short time I've been here.

This experience will completely change the way I approach the investment world. Patrick teaches you how to invest in asymmetric moments — limiting your downside while securing big upside. You can read about techniques online, but nobody teaches you how to dynamically manage a trade through market cycles like Patrick does.

I'm very pleased with the Big Picture Trading training materials, Macro Outlook and Where is the Trade sessions. It's all very professional and just at my comfort level of understanding. Keep up the great professional work! Thanks to the way Patrick teaches, I have never been so relaxed when trading.

Derek P.

Patrick makes everything very simple to understand and easy to do. Since I started implementing some of your trade ideas into my portfolio, I now understand — for the first time since I started trading — how to hedge all my trades to limit losses. It made a big difference. Keep up the great work.

Before BPT I had no real system — I just didn't want that much money sitting out there with uncapped risk. Patrick's approach to long-dated options changed that completely. It's just a much better way to do things.
