Hi Boyd,

Do the same thing that other people are doing to get testimonials for their e-books or to test software - hand it out for free to qualified people and request a testimonial/feedback in return. You can be upfront in explaining how you developed the course and that you need people to test the strategies - that's why you are giving it away for free. Ensure that you put in the necessary legal jargon to protect yourself with the course and you could have them sign a waiver releasing you from any liability.

Without having your techniques actually put into use and shown to make money for people - I agree it will be extremely difficult to have a successful product.
