What people said when they left in April

Real attendees, filmed on the last afternoon. Watch what changed for them, in their own words.

100x more confident

One attendee used this exact phrase when asked how they felt leaving versus arriving.

"I've learned 20 times what I could have learned online"

A returning delegate's exact words. The room does something a screen cannot.

"I've got an education now for life"

Scored the weekend 10 out of 10. Then drove six hours home and said that was fine.

"Tonight's Sunday and I know exactly what I need to do tomorrow. Which shares to sell, which to buy, based on what the charts are telling me."

See what you actually get

This short video walks through the format, the tools, and what the two days look like from the inside.

Your money is moving. Just not fast enough.

You have been in the market for a while. Or you were, once. Maybe it went up and down, you broke even, and life got in the way. Maybe you have been watching from the side, telling yourself you will get back to it.

The problem is not knowledge. You understand the basics. The problem is you are doing it alone, trying to weigh up companies with no one around you doing the same thing.

AI has changed everything. It can do in minutes what used to take hours. Most investors have no idea how to use it. The gap between those who do and those who don't is getting wider every month.

Delegates working through the training, Donegal

"I spent over a year trading without a package. I was just about breaking even, up and down." One attendee said that on arrival. He left with a clear plan and a specific set of trades to make the next morning.

Why doing it online is not the same thing

Delegates focused at laptops during the Donegal training

You can buy a course. You can watch videos. But one attendee put it plainly: "You do it online and you just think, I'll do that ten minutes later. You get distracted. A concentrated weekend, talking to others who are in the same boat, there's no comparison."

In a room with 20 people all working on the same problems, helping each other get unstuck, you move faster. That is just how it works.

What the two days look like

You will be taught by people who actually do this

Owen, Geoff, and Andrew are not trainers who stopped trading. They are active in the market. One attendee in April said of them: "What they don't know you could write on the back of a fag packet."

The video below is from long-term members of Owen's trading community. It is there so you can see, from people who have been at it for years, what working with Owen actually produces.

The person leading the weekend

Owen O'Malley, founder of TICN

Owen O'Malley has been doing this for over 20 years. Attendees in April described him as calm, patient, and able to reduce anything complex to something you follow straight away, without making you feel talked down to.

He replies to messages. He stays in touch after the weekend. "Owen's there in the background. If I get stuck I can reach out."

3 things worth thinking through before you decide

Can't I just do this online?

You could. Several people in April said that before they came. On the last day, one of them said: "There is no comparison. You pick it up a lot faster. You're all in." Another said he would have learned 20 times less online. The room does something a screen simply cannot.

I'm nervous about the AI side. What if it's too much?

Most people in April felt the same before they arrived. One person had never done more than a few ChatGPT prompts. She left confident. The pace is managed, there are breaks, and Owen is reachable after the weekend if something does not click on the day.

Is it worth travelling to Donegal for?

One attendee flew from Portugal. Another drove six hours home on Sunday and called it fine. Being somewhere beautiful and away from your desk is part of why the learning sticks. "Full immersion" is how one person put it. You cannot get that at home.

What Monday morning looks like after this weekend

You open your laptop. You know what to look for. The research that used to take hours now takes minutes. You have people you met in Donegal you can message when something looks interesting or confusing.

One attendee left with "very clear vision." Another was setting up her own trading account the week she got back. One already knew which shares he was selling and which he was buying before he even got in the car Sunday evening.

That is what two days in the right room does.
