I live in Columbia, SC with my wife Joey.  I am a graduate of East Carolina University and spent the first 10 years of my professional career in the electrical industry.  I worked for multiple companies as a sales engineer and also spent some time in sales management.  Upon moving to Columbia in 2001, I ventured into the world of real estate sales and am still active in the real estate market.

My trading journey began in 2004 and could be the script for a novel.  I have spent a lot of years and a tremendous amount of money to discover that discretionary trading does not fit my personality.  I first met Scott a few years ago in a chat room and we talked via phone for over a year before ever meeting in person.  He introduced me to the probability way of trading and helped me uncover a style that truly fit my personality.  I have since developed my own gap trading system using Tradestation Easy Language and the MTG Gap Fader application.  

It is my goal to help Master the Gap traders avoid the painful years that I had to endure by helping them create a trading methodology and plan that fits their personality and objectives.  The coaching program at Master the Gap is designed specifically to accomplish that goal.  We have created a comprehensive program that easily adapts to the needs of each individual trader. 

There is no better way to learn to trade than to have someone who has “been there, done that” hold your hand along the way.  My customers agree - see testimonials below.

I look forward to our journey together.

What My Customers Say...

"After completing the trading plan and futures coaching sessions I started my gap trading system and have had 9 winning trades out of my first 10. Thanks Tim for your help and the clarity of your coaching."   - Randy

"Perhaps there should be something above excellent for "exceeded my expectations". I think that exceeding expectations can be higher than excellent." - Matt

"The course was very well structured, and was a good overview of the psychology, maths and discipline needed for success in trading. Tim was very good - he was always available for questions and went through the materials very efficiently."  - Guillaume

"Tim was exceptional. Under promised and over-delivered. He was honest and forthright particularly with the many ways traders use the Gap Guides. Further, Tim (as well as Scott) always come across as "one of us" - you remember what it was like being a newbie.

The structure and format was excellent. 1 hour time blocks over a period of a few weeks allowed me to let the content sink in. Highly professional, honest and large willingness to listen to concerns. Also, Tim was not concerned if we went over the 1 hr mark and never made the session feel rushed. I now consider Tim a mentor and trading partner of sorts. Also, it's so nice not to feel like there is a sales pitch coming at the end (although I never expect that at all from any MTG experience). MTG is top dog for active trader education. You guys respect your members which prompts me to want to become a life-time member." - Stephen

"Learned alot and really made me shift my thinking
-Content and presentation were excellent

"As a result of all of Tim's help, I have a plan that I think is good and I like. I needed some structure and this will also help me develop some discipline." -Dave

"Tim, I want you to know that your prezo was superb and exceptional.  Having created extensive DCF models with nested pivot tables in a past life I can appreciate the many hours of work to develop, calibrate and test the Wizard. Hats off to you and the entire MTG gang!  Over-deliver in terms of value is certainly an understatement. Good Gapping" - Stephen

"Hi Tim,  Just an update from a grateful student. I finished Dec. at  + 5% on my account. 7 trades, 7 wins - 100% win rate.  Very pleased, to say the least. I am trading the /ES on ThinkorSwim. Thank you for your help, it's made a huge difference. Best in the new year." - David
