Are you thinking about learning to day trade to generate income and considering Kyle Henris’s program?
My Kyle Henris review is based on my firsthand experience as a student in one of his previous premium coaching programs, which he ultimately abandoned, not his latest offering, InvestCEO.
Even so, this review is still valuable because you’ll know what to expect, learn from my experience with his coaching style and approach, and gain insights into the kinds of results and challenges you might face.
But first, I’d like to introduce myself to you.
My name is Josh, owner and creator of Build a Laptop Lifestyle.
I’ve been trading stocks and options for more than 3 years now. My journey in the options trading world started with Kyle who I came across via a Facebook ad. I had been feeling stuck in a 9 to 5, and here was an ad promising financial freedom in 5 years through “modern investment strategies”. That’s how Kyle Henris and his former Done with You Wealth program hooked me.
As I progressed through his content, I learned that financial freedom doesn’t have to wait until retirement, which I wholeheartedly agree with.
While much of the initial information was fairly basic. It included just enough information where I was convinced, I needed to pay for his “coaching”.
I highly encourage you to read this whole review, and be sure to post your questions, and comments below and my goal will be to respond as soon as I am able to.
Kyle Henris Review – Summary
InvestCEO with Kyle Henris
Link: InvestCEO Skool
Price: FREE – $10,000 and up for Coaching
Who it’s for: No one, in my opinion. Read more below.
I bought into one of Kyle’s classes years ago, and while it does seem he has a general idea of what he’s doing in the trading and investing world. His focus is more on sales.
In just the last 3 years the business that Kyle runs has changed names 3 times. These include Done with You Wealth, The Next Door Trader, and now what he calls InvestCEO.
When I joined it was Done with You Wealth, promising to provide alerts, one-on-one coaching, etc. He failed to follow through on any of those promises.
From misleading advertising to abandoning the strategies I signed up for, this is one program I wish I would have stayed away from!
Who is Kyle Henris?
Kyle Henris runs a coaching program aimed at investors who want to build wealth outside of the traditional "work until you're 65 and hope your retirement account is enough" mindset.
Through his company, Invest CEO (previously branded as both Done with You Wealth and Next Door Trader), Kyle promotes a modern investment strategy of day trading with a prop firm.
The idea is to use detailed training to help students take charge of their wealth and accelerate their path to financial independence.
Kyle is also a former certified financial planner and currently positions himself as both CEO of InvestCEO and as a hedge fund manager.
His pitch is that you can achieve financial freedom in as little as five years using the strategies he teaches.
On the surface, this all sounds exciting. But in my experience, Kyle often comes across less like a consistent trading coach and more like a salesman who adapts his story to whatever fits the pitch at the time.
For example, when I was part of Done with You Wealth, both Kyle and his brother Ryan repeatedly told me that Debit Spreads were the best way to make money. That was their cornerstone strategy back then.
Today, debit spreads are nowhere to be found in his teaching. The constant shift in focus makes it hard to know what he truly believes versus what he’s just selling at the moment
What is InvestCEO?
InvestCEO is Kyle Henris’s current trading and coaching community hosted on Skool. It offers a mix of free resources, paid programs (like the InvestCEO Boardroom), a structured step-by-step roadmap, and access to live training and mentorship.
On the surface, it’s designed to help beginners and aspiring traders learn how to day trade while building confidence.
Kyle emphasizes not just the technical side of trading, but also the mindset required to succeed. Pointing out that most day traders fail because of poor discipline and emotional decision making. In theory, that sounds great but in practice, my experience with Kyle has been very different.
When I joined one of his earlier programs, the promises of ongoing support and personalized coaching quickly faded. The live training sessions slowed, communication dropped off, and eventually, I was left feeling like I had paid for more than I actually received.
Many members, myself included, raised concerns that went unanswered.
That’s why I think it’s important for anyone considering InvestCEO to weigh what’s being advertised against how Kyle has handled past programs.
While the marketing makes InvestCEO sound like a complete, supportive ecosystem, my personal experience suggests you might not always get the follow-through that’s promised.
What does InvestCEO cost?
From what I’ve been able to find, InvestCEO has two main pricing options.
- Free Training – If you’re brand new to trading, this is probably worth checking out. You’ll get access to some starter material, and while it’s not going to teach you the strategies in-depth, it will at least give you a feel for Kyle’s teaching style.
- Indicator Suite - $49/1 time - It's not a huge amount compared to the boardroom, but it does make me wonder if there are other upsells that might be added into the program over time as well.
- InvestCEO Boardroom – $997/month – This is the premium membership (almost $12,000 a year). Pitched as a higher ticket program that includes advanced training, trading alerts, daily trading plans, and access to automated day trading software with AI elements built in, and also a business plan to scale.
From what I can tell, this has replaced Kyle's older coaching structures. I doubt he bothers with one-on-one coaching anymore since the recurring monthly fees make him bank.
This isn’t the first time Kyle has structured his programs like this. Back when I signed up for Done with You Wealth, there were several different membership tiers:
Elite Investor Trainee (Free) – Limited Discord access and some introductory training. Basically just enough to get you in the door.
Elite Investor Academy ($500, now discontinued) – A self-guided training with Discord support. Honestly, this was the best value option in my opinion and the one I’d recommend if it were still available.
Elite Investor Mastermind ($2,400) – Full training portal, live Zoom sessions, and so-called “1-on-1 Coaching.” This was the tier I chose, and while the training portal was helpful at first, a lot of the promised ongoing coaching never really happened.
Elite Investor Gold Card ($10,000+) – Unlimited direct access to Kyle. From what I heard, it was mainly pitched to people with six figures plus. Even for them, I personally don’t think it was worth the price tag unless you had money to burn.
Looking at InvestCEO now, the Boardroom feels like a rebranded version of those premium mastermind tiers. Just with a much steeper monthly price tag.
Based on my past experience, I’d encourage you to ask yourself whether the support and coaching you’ll actually receive will match what’s being advertised.
Does Kyle Henris' coaching program (InvestCEO, formerly Done with You Wealth) work?
When I first joined Kyle Henris' community, the entry point was a free membership options called Elite Investor Trainee.
I'll give credit where it's due because the FREE training was worth my time. It covered the basics of trading and mindset, and there were a few takeaways that actually stuck with me.
- Avoid bad habits. Kyle warned against "strategy hopping" (something he ironically ended up doing himself!) and against constantly trying to "buy the dip" or what can also be called catching a falling knife.
- Framework for growing investments. This was probably the most valuable part. The framework emphasized:
- First, create consistent growth without taking excessive risks (avoid blowing up your account).
- Then, shift toward building cash flow from trading gains.
- And finally, once you've achieved both consistency and cash flow, go for the occasional "home run" trade.
Those lessons weren't life changing, but they were solid starting points for someone brand new to trading.
From there, Kyle offered a paid upgrade to the Elite Invest Mastermind. Marketed as the premium coaching experience with 1 on 1 mentorship, live sessions, and full access to his training portal.
I paid $2,400 for this membership, expecting ongoing support, trade alerts, and mentorship that would accelerate my path to financial freedom. Instead, I came away severely disappointed.
The promises of consistent guidance and accountability were not upheld, and when I or other members asked questions, they often went unanswered.
Fast forward to today, and InvestCEO is Kyle's current business. While the packaging has changed, the pattern seems familiar.
Free content to pull people in, followed by high ticket coaching upsells. From my experience, you should definitely go through the free content.
Anything beyond the free content though, you should seriously question whether what's promised in any of his sales pitches is what you'll actually receive once you're inside.
My Experience with Kyle Henris
After going through Kyle Henris' free training, I decided to invest in his Elite Investor Mastermind program. At the time it seemed like a no brainer.
The sales pitch was personalized coaching, accountability, and step-by-step guidance to help accelerate my path to financial freedom. Instead, I was set back $2,400, I went in with high expectations that this program would deliver real mentorship and support.
Unfortunately, my actual experience was very different. Below, I'll share what I encountered in the program, both the good and the bad.
By sharing my past experience with Kyle, it'll give you enough insight to make a decision on whether to join InvestCEO.
One-on-One Coaching
Instead of live sessions with Kyle, the so called "coaching" has only happened through a Discord chat thread which is essentially text messaging. It was never consistent, and it wasn't Kyle doing the coaching it was another person that I barely heard from.
For the amount of money I paid, I kind of expected weekly live Zoom calls to check on progress. But no one check in with me in nearly 4 months.
The homework assignments were another letdown. The first exercise, which involved clarifying your financial vision and setting long term goals, was actually helpful. I had no issue with that as it's essential to know where you're headed financially.
Most of the other homework felt like busywork, not training. For example:
- I spent time creating watch lists and price targets for multiple strategies, even though the real focus had switched to day training.
- Reviewing past charts to mark support and resistance levels and hypothetical entry/exit points.
The problem? Anyone can look at charts after the fact and identify "what would've worked". That doesn't teach real-time trading decisions during market hours!
And speaking of risk, day trading can wipe out 20% of your account in minutes if you're wrong. While I never signed up to learn day trading (see below the bait and switch sales tactics), the program didn't even prepare me to manage risk in a practical way.
In short, the one-on-one coaching promised simple wasn't delivered, and the assignments added very little value.
DWYW Traders Academy
If I'm being fair, while the coaching was bad. The Done with You Wealth Traders Academy was the best part of the entire experience. Honestly, I wish I had just paid the $500 for the Academy instead of shelling out thousands for the Mastermind.
Here's why.
The trader's academy was a self-guided training portal with structured video curriculum. Kyle walked through key topics in a clear, organized way. It included:
- Building your own financial plan.
- Understanding asset allocation strategies.
- Detailed explanations of multiple investing approaches such as debit spreads, credit spread, day trading, and crypto.
- Pre-built spreadsheets to help you track trades and analyze performance.
This felt well thought out and practical, especially compared to the lackluster coaching component. It gave me real tools and knowledge I could actually apply.
That said the problem wasn't the Traders Academy, but rather the Mastermind program. The extras (like live accountability, mentorship, coaching, etc) simply did not match the promises made in the sales pitch.
Is Kyle Henris and InvestCEO a scam?
While I haven't had personal experience with InvestCEO, I have had extensive experience with Kyle Henris' former coaching programs.
I wouldn't label Kyle Henris as an outright scammer. His training portal was actually one of the most thorough introductions to options trading I've seen, and beginners could have definitely learned valuable concepts there if it was still available.
That said, there are several areas where I feel his marketing is misleading and his programs fail to deliver on promises.
Here are the biggest red flags I experienced.
Bait and Switch Sales Tactics
When I joined DWYW's Elite Investor Mastermind, debit spreads were marketed as the strategy for consistent growth. Kyle even hosted a 5-day challenge teaching why debit spreads were his go to strategy. His brother Ryan told me the same thing!
But only a few months later, debit spreads were dropped, and suddenly Kyle was pushing day trading SPY instead, a strategy he hadn't taught at all before March of 2022.
This pivot was based on another "student" that mentioned he was learning day trading from Maurice Kenny, and Kyle decided to adopt it.
That felt like a bait and switch. If a coach truly believes in a strategy, they don't abandon it just because things aren't going well and switch to something they think they can sell more of.
Recommended: Check Out Maurice Kenny's book and his YouTube videos if you're interested in day trading.
Misleading Advertising!
Another issue is how the program was promoted. For example:
- Refund promise → Kyle advertised that if you didn't make $10k in 16 weeks, you'd get your money back. I was in the program from February 2022, haven't made $10k, and despite voicing dissatisfaction, I've received no refund.
- Paper trades passed off as real trades → I also saw Kyle sharing screenshots of "wins" from students but editing out the parts where those trades were marked as paper trades (simulations). That gives a false impression of results.
To his credit, it seems he no longer utilizes this kind of marketing, but during my time in the program, it was a regular occurrence.
Kyle only shares winning trades
In the Discord group, Kyle frequently would highlight his wins but rarely, if ever, post his losing trades. He's admitted that day traders typically win about 60% of trades, but based on what he shares, you'd think he's winning nearly 100%.
Worse, many of the trade reviews are after the fact using TradingView charts, not live entries. That means there's no proof he actually took those trades in real time. Transparency would mean screen recording trades as they happen, which never happened in my time there.
Real Time Trade Alerts
One of the key selling points for Done with You Wealth was real time trade alerts so members could follow along. But the alerts stopped abruptly:
- Debit spreads → last on 02/10/2022
- Long term stock alerts → last on 03/03/2022
- Credit spreads → last on 04/20/2022
- Crypto trades → last on 03/28/2022
For over 4 months, there were no active alerts at all. This directly went against what was promised during his sales pitch.
The scary part is I see alerts being sold as part of his InvestCEO boardroom for $997/mo. Before expecting them remember the past predicts the future.
Kyle Ignores Questions
Finally, engagement and support were a major disappointment. As seen in the above image students would ask direct questions in Discord and get NO RESPONSE.
I also saw Kyle ignore questions in supposed "one-on-one" chat threads.
For paying $2,400, the lack of support was alarming and something you should be aware of.
My final thoughts on Kyle Henris and InvestCEO
After my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Kyle Henris or his program InvestCEO (which was previously branded as Next Door Trader and Done with You Wealth).
And that raises an important question. Can you really trust a company that has changed its name 3 times in 3 years?
To be fair, the training portal itself was solid. As a DWYW member, I appreciated how it covered the basics of trading and provided a structured framework. But beyond that, the program simply did not deliver on its promises.
The biggest problems I faced:
- I paid $2,400 for a mastermind that provided little value beyond what was already in the training portal.
- Coaching, accountability, and trade alerts - were the main selling points and quickly disappeared. I went 4 months without hearing from anyone, and eventually phased out of the program altogether.
- Many of the original strategies and offers (like debit spreads and credit spreads) were abandoned or replaced.
- More recent members that I've spoken with report that prices have only gone up, while value has gone down.
Kyle often says he's customer oriented, but in my experience, the lack of follow up, coaching, and consistency says otherwise.
To me it feels like he's chasing the next sales pitch rather than standing behind any proven strategies. And for that reason, I cannot recommend his program if you're looking for reliable, long term mentorship.

Crazy seeing this review. I was in the program at the same time as Josh according to this and it doesn't sound anything like the program that I took part in. Really enjoyed it personally and was able to leave my full time job because of it. I do recall another student named Lance sending me a message though saying that if I promoted his program (ThetaTraderz) he would pay me an affiliate commission. I guess the best way to get those affiliate commissions is to trash another program that has a much larger audience. Congrats on joining Lance's affiliate program! Hope those commissions are worth it…
Thanks for the input. For reference as you submitted other comments saying I delete the comments if they are positive, that’s actually 100% false. I don’t automatically approve any comments positive or negative. I do this to regulate spam.
Secondly it’s great that you enjoyed Kyle Henris and his program.
Also I can tell you that you were not part of the program when I joined, because at the time I joined Kyle was promising regular trade alerts on debit spreads, credit spreads, etc. Plus the “one on one” coaching was for those strategies. However, I rarely heard from Kyle or the other coach in our one on one chat. Kyle made it seem the one on one coaching was with him directly but that wasn’t the case.
It was about 1-2 months after joining in the program that Kyle switched his coaching strategies to day trading. Something I wasn’t interested in. Essentially it’s like you paying for one product and receiving something completely different. You can’t tell me you’d be very pleased with that?
In regards to ThetaTraderz. I earn ZERO commissions. Click the links none of them are affiliate links and lead directly to the website.
The reason I refer people to ThetaTraderz is because Lance is genuine, and consistently reaches out to me to ask if I have any questions. Furthermore, I’ve gotten to know Lance on a personal level and know for a fact he doesn’t have an affiliate program.
Through his coaching I’ve grown my account 14% in less than 6 months. That might not be enough for some people and that’s totally fine. Being aggressive can lead to larger gains but also can make it so you’re more likely to blow up your trading account.
All I wanted to say is thank you!! Your information open my eyes to avoid wasting my hard earned money in courses like this one.
That’s awesome to hear you found my post helpful. I definitely appreciate the words of encouragement and am pleased to hear that you found this Kyle Henris review helpful!

I list 10k with Kyle Henris and have had only two Zoom sessions since April 2022.
Meant to say in my last post I paid Kyle 10k and have had two coaching sessions since April 2022. Of course Kyle blames me for disappearing but I had numerous unfortunate events including my mother passing and Kyle could give a rats ass.
He gives me “homework” like watching videos and then when I follow up he does not respond but says I am the one who disappeared.
I’m an Infantry Combat Veteran and a Licensed Professional Counselor and not a JAG, just a guy. I have tried to make the money back on my own but lost well over 10k because I did not understand options trading which is something Kyle was supposed to coach me on.
Hey Robert,
First and foremost, thank you for your service, both as an infantry combat veteran and in your position as a licensed professional counselor.
I’m very sorry to hear about your frustrating experience and 10k loss with Kyle Henris and his training program, it sounds very similar to my experience but thankfully I did not lose that much.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one, such as your mother, I imagine… is not only challenging but is also emotionally demanding. It’s disappointing that Kyle didn’t show empathy or understanding, especially after you gave him your hard-earned money.
I’ll be honest with you. As you’ll see here, I’ve reviewed and even joined a few options coaching programs such as Kyle Henris’s and most of them fall short in what they promised to deliver. I hope that you find the guidance and support you need on your journey ahead.
Again thank you for your service, and God Bless.
I’m in the program! I’ve been in it awhile, back when he was only teaching credit/debit spreads. I’m frustrated because I stopped trading after taking a major loss trading PYPL. After deciding to try and come back to the group and really start doing it again I come to realize they are now doing day trading and more recently added getting a funded account into the mix too. Which is fine, but like now it costs a lot more to work with a 1:1 coach and I already put in a lot of money into the credit/debit spread learning, plus I paid $500 extra to learn to set up crypto bots that I don’t use at all because almost immediately after learning how to do it, the market for crypto got super weird. So it’s like I can’t be giving even more money or also have a 1:1 coach. It’s bs.
Hey Ashley!
I actually remember hearing about this trade. I joined on the tail end of when Kyle was doing credit spreads, debit spreads, etc.
That was the beginning of February, and then all of the alerts stopped.
Everything switched to day trading around April that year, and that wasn’t even a Kyle idea. Some other guy in the group mentioned Maurice Kenny and then Kyle is like I can teach that (so kind of like stealing the idea)…
My thing is once the credit and debit spreads stopped he completely changed the coaching program. Wouldn’t shock me if it happened again.
I’m definitely sorry for all the money you sunk into his various programs. However, don’t give up on yourself!
I was a student of Kyle Henris and I wish I had read this first. I enrolled in July 2022. Kyle has changed his strategies, as well as the name of his business, multiple times since you wrote your article. I feel like a moron because I fell for the salesmanship. I have moved on from his program and am studying day trading elsewhere now (look up "ICT" on youtube and you will see where Kyle steals ideas from). I paid $7500 for his program almost two years ago and have yet to see a profit. I am now a "funded trader," meaning a prop firm pays me to trade, but it is definitely not because of Kyle. When I make money, it will not be because of Kyle. He is dishonest and a fraud. I wholeheartedly tell anyone and everyone to stay away from Kyle.
Wow! I just want to say I’m very sorry for the experience you’ve had with Kyle’s Day trading program. I had a hard time swallowing the $2500 I paid, so couldn’t imagine $7500!
I’ve had plenty of success selling options on futures, but I also understand it’s not for everyone and is also more of a slow and steady wins the race type of trading.
One question I have if you’re willing to share is have you been able to withdraw funds from the funded account?
I appreciate your input as it’s very helpful to other readers as well.
Have a blessed day!
Josh,
I have not withdrawn any money from the funded account, primarily because I stopped daytrading right after I passed the challenge…that's due to me changing day jobs and no longer having time to trade during NY session. I am learning how to trade the evening/Asian session; once I am more consistent, I will trade the funded account. I do have some friends who also left the program who are funded and have gotten payouts.
Cheers!
Very cool. I definitely understand having a 9-5 making it hard to actively trade.
Hopefully the evening session will work well for you. It’s always interesting to hear if people are able to get payouts from funded accounts as I’ve heard it’s really tough to do so.
Anyway again I truly appreciate your input and hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
Any videos you recommend viewing from ICT? I to was and still in kyles program but if you say this is the same content id live to check it out. Does ICT teach futures?
Hey Cam,
I believe he was referring to the YouTube videos from Inner Circle Trader found here. However, I have not reviewed his stuff so do plenty of research if you plan to check it out.
Also if you’re interested in learning to sell futures for income, I’d definitely recommend taking a look at my ThetaTraderz Review.
The trading strategies that Lance teaches there won’t make you rich overnight, but overall I’ve been happy and have grown my trading account 19% since I started a little less than a year ago (as of Feb 2024).
Anyway, whatever you decide I hope you find what’s right for you and if there’s any specific programs you’d like me to look into just let me know. Thank you for the comment.
Hey thanks I will look into that. Thank you. Also I was interested in maybe changing to Forex. Not sure if you dabbled into that type of trading before? But maybe you could look into Alex Gonzalez course called stand forget. His IG is fxalexg Its tough finding someone who teaches trading who actually wants to teach without having a secret agenda in the background. 🙁
I’m not super familiar with Forex to be honest with you. I’ll definitely look into it, I’m always looking to expand my trading expertise!
Ive been a member of kyles program for two years and honestly havent made a dime yet. Hes changed his strategy 4 times and ive had to try and relearn over and over again. Although he does work hard and donplenty of zoom calls for us to learn its been frustrating when he randomly changes his strategy. If you miss one zoom call you feel like you missed alot. I paid $9500. He posts motivational posts to try and lure in more customers and manipulate them into paying more money from his next adventure. In the end i feel hes the only one who came out on top with all this. Theres another student who joined around the time i did and i dont think he ever made any profit as well.
I can completely relate to your experience. Honestly, my journey with Kyle’s program wasn’t great either. I consider myself lucky to have paid only $2400, but even then, it felt like a hefty investment for what I got out of it. Like you mentioned, the constant changes in strategy were frustrating and not what I signed up for.
The Zoom coaching sessions were supposed to be one-on-one for me, but that didn’t happen. It’s disappointing when promises aren’t fulfilled, especially when you’re investing your time and money into something you hope will bring results.
I noticed the same pattern with the motivational posts and marketing tactics. It seems like the program is more focused on selling the dream rather than providing tangible value and consistent support for its members.
In the end, it’s disheartening to hear that Kyle seems to be the only one benefiting from all of this. It’s a tough lesson learned, but hopefully, we can take what we’ve experienced and use it to make more informed decisions in the future.
