 MTG-Testimonials
Here's what our members are saying ...

Even though I am not finished with your mentorship, I’ve already used the Gap Fader tool to make money. I back-tested the best size stop to use on one of my favorite stocks and risked 44 cents. It also told me to hold beyond the prior close for a bigger target. And that is what I did. Result: 67 cents of profit per share in one day, and best of all I was in and out in 10 minutes. THANK YOU!! I can’t wait to learn more.

Hi Scott,
In just a short period of time, your signals have prevented me from taking trades I would have clearly lost money on. As you have stated, the key is taking the gaps that have the best chance of working, and your system is a great filter to use even for experienced gap traders!
Thanks!

Scott, i'm very happy with my trading results. With the help of your site and Otis signals the results have been great! In this business full of "get rich quick" schemes it's very good to find a real system based on probabilities and results. Thanks for your hard work and thanks for your help!
