Scott I thought I would tell you about a  possible edge I have come across using info in your gap wraps. In the June 25 wrap you talk about what happens after 5 lower lows. So the odds were that the US would open up and if it didn't gap fill was a high probability. I watched the wrap at 4am your time and YM futures were below gap fill, so based on the above info I placed a minimum stake trade aiming for gap fill pre market and bagged a small 15 point winner.

This morning the same thing happened. Of course a lot more research would need to be done but it would seem knowing the odds of the next day being an up gap or a down gap could  be useful for European gappers and US insomniacs! Best Regards Gary

Hey Scott- First, let me tell you how much I respect what you do, I really like your service. I am very impressed with what you have done. I was the head futures trader for one of the largest proprietary trading groups in Chicago, and have a profitable 16 year record. I’ve seen a lot of stuff out there, yours is among the most impressive from a pure logic standpoint, and it’s something I could integrate into my system. Brian

Hi Scott Thanks hope all is well my trading continues to profit thanks for all your help..Lou

Hi Scott,  It was great to meet you at the social in Pasedena and thanks for the goodies!    I really enjoy and put to good use your research on the gaps.  I started trading equity gaps back in 2001 (when it was easier).  From my vantage point it's gotten more difficult over the years and I think the gap guides provide a great tool for measuring the probability of success. Blessings ! Steve

I loved the Trading Wizard. It allowed me to really clearly see the risk that's required to obtain certain profits. It enables one to set realistic profit goals with risk that is tolerable. 

I was surprised at how I felt the moment I completed my Trading Business Plan. It was like a rite of passage. I felt in that moment I went from being a amateur trader to a professional.
 
I loved his (Tim's) transparency about all his trading experiences. It gave me confidence in my future since a lot of our past experiences were similar and look at him now!! Linda

Hey Scott, I picked up 5% on the NQ today alone. I am picking the best stats. each day between the ES and the NQ and with great consistency. We are kickin’ ass this month so far... probably shouldn’t have said that.... Am WAY up so far though on your trading since last Nov. Like 40%. Best, Rob    

PS You are the man....

June 17, 2010 | Rob

Chris and Scott, It appears the problem has been resolved.  Thank you for your prompt response.  You may be interested in the following from a brand new--Read: Today-- subscriber:

I have been exclusively full-time trading--both stocks and options--successfully (enough to earn a modest living) for 12+ years now using a "tougher," less-frequent definition of Daily chart gaps (yesterday's HIGH below today's LOW), in addition to other technical indicators, as a basis for day or swing trades.  I feel like I have been on the verge of greatness (taking my success to a whole new level) for some time now, but have been unable to fully overcome self-doubt and fear-based habits (occasional entries b/c the move is "too good to miss" or "too good to be true," and impatient exits caused by watching the level two or my P&L). 

As my awesome wife can attest, I am EXTREMELY excited about your service--the only trading service to which I have EVER subscribed--as it will give me greater underlying conviction in my gap trades (as well as a tradeable, expanded definition of "gaps" for me).   I am very passionate about and committed to trading, and have been since 1999. I know it is only a matter of time before I reach my true potential by breaking a few bad habits.  I truly believe that with the guidance and insights of Scott (who I have been following for several months now), I have come to that long-awaited time.  Between his gap analysis and my own Day L-H range-based trading approach (which is how I found success in late 1999), I think I have found the right mix!

The key is that I am confident in Scott's and my own approaches and long-term success.  I look forward to many wonderful years on board. Just as an aside--My wife has given me a new nickname since I joined your service on Tuesday as she can sense my excitement:  Gapper Napper Brian!  (I have for years taken a nap every day after the close to recharge for family time in the late afternoon and evening)  Best wishes, Brian

June 17, 2010 | Brian

Scott, Strictly by today's MTG guide numbers, I was on the fence.  Gap Fader gave me a little different slant with Zone 9 and below the 10MA; and your comments prior to the open also gave an extra push to get in.  Thanks for a good trade. Don

June 16, 2010 | Don

Hey Scott, I was just updating my recent gap results and thought you might be happy to know that the first two months of my new version 2 system netted 16% (actual fills, including commission) on 9 winners / 3 losers. I credit my updated gap signals and my new position sizing strategy. It’s only two months, but what a great start. I couldn’t have done it without you! Cheers, Isaac

June 4, 2010 | Isaac

We have a much tighter gap plan as a result of working with Tim. We have a action plan put together faster than we would have gotten it done by ourselves as a result of working with Tim. Within a short period of time (we started the gap 3/1/10) we have gone from an introduction to the strategy to a fully ready to execute action plan. We know what we are doing each day, and how to implement and manage.

Tim Mock: Excellent - exceeded my expectations. Very steady, consistent, patient, organized.

June 2, 2010 | Stephen & Dana

SCott/Tim, Thanks for what you have tough me in the live room.  I now have enough data with the new gap guides to make a decision on how I plan to trade the gap.  I no longer need the live room as I find that my trading plan differs from Scott.  Thanks! David

June 2. 2010 | David

Hi Chris, Having being with you and Scott for over a year now I have come to appreciate so much the service you provide, but above everything I value the integrity of you both. Honesty is also something very important to me personally. As such I am very interested in having Master the Gap manage some money for me.

May 30, 2010 | Angus

Hi Scott - With Patience and Probabilities I just closed out a winning month. Thank you. After reviewing the month I discovered that the only losing trade, although speculative as was yours. Best Regards Jack
May 29, 2010 | Jack

Scott I would just like to say thanks for the tip about reducing position size...That idea is something I had never considered before but now I am going to include it in my trading plan. I learn something everyday at MTG! Thanks again Gary
     
May 26, 2010 | Gary

Scott,
I really enjoyed your presentation today. It was long on content and short on hype, which is very good. Thanks, Ken

May 19, 2010 | Ken

Hi Scott -- Thoroughly enjoyed your SFO webinar this morning -- you added a very interesting level of thinking/decision -making into gap trading, along with very actionable guidelines.

May 18, 2010 | Bill

Scott,OK here's a first. Faded the gap from the back seat of a car in Times Square, heading for our first location. Nice fill. Thanks. David

May 17, 2010 | David

Hi Scott: I have given you feedback before about your integrity, patience, and your commitment to your members and all of that still holds true.  You are a great guy Scott and I hope to run in to you at a trade conference one of these times. Kind regards, Tom

May 13, 2010 | Tom

Hey Scott, I went ahead and traded it based on the 70% & 1.3 PF this morning.  It worked nicely as psychologically I've been looking for a way to trade the gap w/o having to manage the trade.  It was the calmest gap trade I've done without the room's help! Thanks for your trading service and all your help. Matthew

May 13, 2010 | Matthew

Tim I have to tell you that you have been a great addition to the MTG service. Your info and webcasts have been helpful. Best Regards, Howard

May 11, 2010 | Howard

I have every confidence in Scott Anrews and the team at Master the Gap and will be back asap.

May 10, 2010 | Dave

Tim, 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 and to Scott for your invaluable insights in the trading room. It is very refreshing to recieve more value than I paid for in trader education. Randy

May 2, 2010 | Randy

I have been a member of MTG for 2 months and I wanted to give some feedback on your service. Being a cautious type I must have followed your free gap wrap every day for at least 6 months before I decided to commit to membership. I think you being yourself is the best advert to buy into MTG there is, in your videos you come over as a open and honest family man. Believe me I am hard to sell to, I dont have stars in my eyes .

 I have been trading 3 years ,I  have my own set ups, I am profitable (but not very). My need is to improve bad habits like for example snatching at wins instead of letting them run. The main reason I joined was to watch you in the trading room in the hope that watching an expert trader your good habits would rub off on me.

Over the past two months I have noticed a steady improvement in my ability to stay with trades. I am integrating the guides into my own plan and I am looking forward to your new ideas in development.  Best Regards Gary

April 29, 2010 | Gary

Hey, Thanks for wonderful webinar conducted.It was awesome and lots of informative.. Thanks, Vishal

April 25, 2010 | Vishal

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. 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

April 20, 2010 | Stephen

Hi Scott, I just wanted to let you know that I used the ideas we talked about last night about entering before/after the open to turn todays gap into my biggest winner yet.  I was up pretty late running various tests regarding the efficiency analysis and set up an order to enter at 1203.  Thanks again!  Pradeep  

April 15, 2010 | Pradeep (Mentoree)

GG, 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

April 13, 2010 | Dave

Thanks for all of the good calls I am increasing my contracts. Mark

April 15, 2010 | Mark

Scott, I'm 45 and I've been investing for 27 years. Wandering for 27 years is a better description.  You provide me with an edge that I didn't have prior to Nov 09. You're an excellent teacher, please don't change a thing.  I know that you are very passionate about your study. I will continue to follow along and learn. The trading room is a think tank, it is part of the master mind principle ("Think and grow rich " by Napolean Hill ). Have a great trip to the OB. I'm a very satisfied customer!! Emery

Scott,  At the risk of jinxing myself I just wanted to thank you for the service you offer. I have been a faithful subscriber for almost two months now and I have more than earned back the monthly cost for your guides. For now I just play follow the leader while I am still trying to figure out what will work best for me. But to be completely blunt I like your conservative approach and your philosophy that "I would rather miss a winner than pick a loser" makes a lot of sense. (although I do have to admit I get mad when it fills and I did not play! haha). Since joining I have had 11 winning trades and 3 losers for a profit factor of 1.97.

This week alone was pretty good. Fortunately for me the trade you mentioned in the gap wrap a couple days ago that you invoked your one point rule on and ended up losing I held out for the eventual win. I do not mean to rub salt in the wound. I only mention that because there was a trade in early March where I "managed" the trade because of the fear that set in when it hit so close to stopping me so out I moved my profit target up to one tick profit just to get out and then the gap eventually did fill so I missed out on that big winner. I am learning to leave the trade alone and let math take over. So I just wanted to thank you. I have learned a great deal from you. I know I have finally found a strategy that can create consistent profits. It is ALL in the math. I also want to thank you for offering your service at a VERY reasonable price. As you are probably aware there are charlatans out there who want to charge you thousands for their strategies and software... seriously? So you have earned my respect and you have earned my patronage. I am actually thinking of upgrading my account to include the trade room. Next time you are at the Las Vegas trade show I would like to come and shake your hand. Thanks John

Dear Scott, I am a subscriber to your MTG. I find it great! REgards, Dilip

April 7, 2010 | Dilip

Hi Scott and Tim, I want to say that overall, I have been impressed with your service.  You certainly put a lot of work into what you do and seem to have the best interest of your members at heart.  I like the honesty, openness, and freedom I feel you both offer.

I wish I had the discipline you seem to have to leave things alone because I cheat myself out of a lot of profits when I intervene too much.  Anyway, thanks for all of your time and effort both of you!  I always feel like you guys are honestly try to improve the people you work with, not just grab their money! Sincerely, Diane

April 3, 2010 | Diane

Scott, I’ve been using your service for about nine months and after taking many seminars from others (more than I care to admit), each claiming to give solid trading directions/recommendations, etc., in my experience nothing out there comes close to your MTG approach.  Probabilities not possibilities as you put it so well on the site.

The success I’ve had using MTG has been outstanding, and recommend your approach/style to any serious trader.  I’ve recommended MTG to some friends here in Wisconsin and expect they'll sign up for a trial.  The Gap Fader Mentorship has also worked out very well,  great tool and after lots of hours, it’s been a great aid in re-focusing me on the randomness of the markets and to really understand back testing and probabilities.  I’ve acknowledged those concepts before, but never really appreciated their impact in the markets and on my trading.  Best Regards,

April 3, 2010 Don

hi scott, the  conversations in the  room  on testing  ands  psych  stuff  was  great ....like  to  help   more  if  i  can...  decent  trader, terrible  typier...have  a  great  easter...sam

Hi, I love your daily videos and your methodology. Best regards, Robert

March 24, 2010 | Robert

Scott, Tim, Chris - You guys are great, MTG is working for me, you have a long term member here.  I have been with you and in the room for about 4 months now and am getting comfortable with the approach. I will be back in the room in the future, but, for the near tern I am going to cut back my membership guides only. I want to try my wings. Your service is getting better all the time - keep it up. Thanks. David 

March 15, 2010 | David

I am paper trading the MTG system for about 3 months and now have been taking actual trades since the middle of February and so far am doing well, thanks to you, Scott and all for the great site.  Dave

March 13, 2010 | Dave

On balance I've been trading since November using your filters and have done remarkably well.  Robert

March 12, 2010 | Robert

Thank you Scott. You have a great site. It has been a blessing to my trading and my pocket!

March 12, 2010 |  Gary

Great trade today. Thanks for all your hard work; trying to get me and others to become better traders. Happy Anniversary and have a great weekend . Regards, Hal

March 12, 2010 | Hal

I am very impressed by your research and the service you provide.

March 11, 2010 | William

Thanks Scot for another good call I made 3pts on todays and actually 3pts on the one before.  Great service thanks, Mark S.

March 10, 2010 | Mark

Yesterday in my opinion for those of us that do not get your intraday commentary was a win because I was not aware you had tighten your stop and just stuck to the plan and made money.   David

March 3, 2010 | David

thanks for your commentaries.  It helps soooo much.  Today I took the TFH.  Because of your "descretionary" trade I was much more cautious...took my first target and then moved my stop on the balance to break even because of you.  You have taught me to take my own trades with confidence.  The last five months have been priceless (well not quite but I have made money while having a lot of fun.) Gary

March 3, 2010 |Flyvet

I have nothing but the greatest respect for you and your trading methodology.  I wish you and every member in the room continued personal and financial success.  I thought you ran a great room and appreciated the respect and cordial treatment I always received.  I have tried to pass your room and name on to as many people as possible over the course of our association, and will continue to do so. With Warmest Regards,Steve

February 25, 2010 | Steve

Thank you very much for the great work, and for sharing so many things on your website / blog. Thank you!! Guillaume

Thank you for the iinfo. on the "time Activated Order".   I finally did it this morning with my one contract order.  IT WORKED!!!  Now I need to work on my exits.  One step at a time to get better everyday and combat all my bad habits that I have so carefully built up and reinforced in my mind over the years.  Toyo

February 22, 2010 | Toyo

thank you for your educational content re. gap trading.  I took today’s gap on my own even though you passed.  I take that as a sign that I am gaining understanding and confidence enough to go ahead with the trade.  Worked well for me this time.  ;-)   Keep up the great work. Bill

February 22, 2010 | Bill

Dear Scott,
Thank you for your compelling presentation on trading the opening gap at the NewYork Money Show.  I found it to be one of the best and clearest presentation to date, and can't wait to put it into practice. Michael

February 18, 2010 | Michael

Scott, If it was not for your idea to make the 1st TGT today at yesterday's high, I would have lost about 250 Dow pts at the close vs. making about 85 Dow points  at your 1st tgt, then moved to BE and was out. Pretty sweet.  Thank you SO much for the great call.
Michael

February 17, 2010 | Michael

GM Scott, I was referred to your site by Bill L. here in Northern Calif. who speaks very highly of you and the results he has obtained using your service.  Unfortunately I did not see you when attending the Money show in Vegas in Nov. because I did not know who you were at the time. Thanks so much, Joe

February 11, 2010 | Joe

Tim, I would like to commend both you and Scott for putting together a solid set of training options for new traders. Excellent value for those serious about gap trading. Keep up the great work, Ryan

February 10, 2010 | Ryan

One final atta boy.  Your voice is very calm and peaceful.  The tone and way you deliver the nightly videos is supportive, informative and instructive.  You do a great job and I can understand why you are successful. Last but not least, thank you for defending our country.  I am a Vietnam era guy. Have an awesome day trading.  Mind your stops and follow your trading plan! Matt

February 10, 2010 | Matt

Hey, I just want you to know that I have found your stats very helpful.  My trading still has a lot of way to go for getting the most out of my trades, but I have been much more consistent since I've used your service. thanks again for sharing your work, Diane

February 9, 2010 | Diane

Hi Scott, We met in Vegas after your seminar and I bought your book and then joined the next week! Thanks for all your hard work - it has brought my gap trading to the next level, and I thoroughly enjoy being a member of your site. Michael

February 8, 2010 | Michael

Tim, Before I started reviewing the wizard again this weekend, I expected I would have many more questions / comments.
Not the case.  You answered all my issues fully last weekend. Your comment about analyzing position size with increased stop size was very useful. Truly a great tool.  Thanks, David

February 7, 2010 | David

Scott - I really trust your integrity. Your site has certainly been profitable for me in a steady grinding sort of way. Thanks, Vic

February 6, 2010 | Vic

Thanks Chris/Scot for your help. Your service is the best I've had and I've tried over a dozen in as many years.

February 5, 2010 | Mark

Hi Scott:  Regretfully, I have had to cancel my subscription to Master The Gap. When I resume my trading efforts, I will resubscribe to MTG at that time. Thank you for all your help and especially your excellent insights. Best Regards, Mike

February 3, 2010 | Mike

Hi Scott, I have really been impressed listening in your chatroom.  You seem to operate in an honest!! and straightforward approach!

January 31, 2010 | Bryan

Scott, I am a huge fan of what you do... and as a fellow trader and mathematics type I have prograammed many of your ideas into am automated robot for carrying out gap trades. It averages around 155 ES points per year.  Regards from a fellow gapper in Switzerland

January 30, 2010 | Frank

Hello Scott, I just finished a meeting with Tim. Even after he discovered the problem was caused by me, he was very gracious. We explored a little about how the software works in Excell 2007 and ended on a very positive note. All of your confidence in Tim is justified in my opinion. Thank you and the team for all your hard work. Regards, Hal

January 29, 2010 | Hal

Tim: Finally!! I really appreciated your patience and support. I will use the tool for todaý's open. By the way last night's webinar about the Wizard was excellent. This weekend I will stat playing with it. If anything else occurs with the MPG Price ind. I 'll let you know. Again,  thanks for your help and support. Jose

January 28, 2010 | Jose

Hi Tim, Good work.  At first I thought most of the things the Wizard did were pretty intuitive.  Now, I love the hard math.  I look forward to working with it for all of my trading…gap, day, swing and forex.  Again, congrats to you all at MTG.  I was lucky to stumble upon you all.   GC

January 28, 2010 | Gary

Your thoughts on making a difference were understood.  I was a Veterinarian before being a trader.  You said it well and you are making a difference on a individual basis.  That gives real satisfaction in life experience.  flyvet

January 25, 2010 | Gary

Tim, Just ordered the MTG wizard to get my expectations in line with my trading parameters. I was debating as to whether I could afford this product and webinar- I decided that I can't afford NOT to order the MTG Wizard and join the webinar. Thanks, Rob

January 22, 2010 | Rob

Scott, I wanted to encourage you. I appreciate your comments today on your faith. I’m sure it took some courage to say what you did. I truly believe God will honor you for it.  I will pray for you. You have an awesome talent with the Gaps and a respected voice among your subscribers. I for one certainly appreciate your service. Thank you - Andy

January 21, 2010 | Andy

Hi Scott, I am very happy with you, your service, and the trading room. So happy that I would be glad to write a testimonial if you would like one.  My account has been doing pretty well for someone with no trading background. As I think you know, I am with the service because my husband Michael (Bigfoot) wants someone to do it, and he can't follow directions, poor thing ;). Best, Teresa

January 20, 2010 | Teresa

Hi Scott, Thanks and I really enjoy your daily videos as well as all of the tips you've provided, it's made a tremendous difference to my trading and I'm not even a member as yet (will be soon)!

January 15, 2010 | Michael

Tim-  I want you to know that your prezo was superb and exceptional.  You handled the situation with grace and the upmost professionalism.  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

January 20, 2010 | Stephen

Scott, You  nailed another one today. I was right there with you -except I did'nt have the grit to test yesterday's high.  You market insight is inspirational.  I am 12/13 trades as of today since 11/17/09. Best regards, Rob

January 14, 2010 | Rob

I absolutely love your approach to the markets. It solves the problem of the failures of indicator based trading while still allowing back-testing. The successful day traders I know, stick to 70% or better trades. Unfortunately that number is seat of the pants, or at best, they get it from their trading records. That doesn't do me any good. Without a hard mathematical edge, I'm not sure I can succeed at this. Thanks Much, Jason

January 13, 2010 | Jason

hey scott, thx a bunch for the webinar. very helpful. 100x better than one from another educator I attended today.

Januar 12, 2010 | Barbara

Hi Scott, I hope you had a great holiday season and things have started well for the new year.  I believe now more than ever that signing up for the mentorship was a fantastic move.   Thanks, Pradeep

January 12, 2010 | Pradeep

Hi Scott,
 
Thanks so much for your help. It is so refreshing to find someone honest, transparent, and helpful in the trading world. I am trading with you because my husband (Bigfoot, aka Michael) thinks more highly of you than anyone else out there -- and he's tried pretty much everything! Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous 2010, Teresa

January 11, 2010 | Teresa

Well, after thinking about your coaching program for week and recommending it to some struggling traders, I decided to take my own advice. but the position sizer really set me over the edge. its totally the coolest thing I've seen in the trading world since tradestation came out in the 80's. looking forward to your help. fred

hi Scott, thank you for all of your guideance it has really brought me to another level in my trading career!!! LOU

January 8, 2010 | Louis

Thanks much Scott, For what it is worth, I have been around the block as they say, (only a short block in the trading world), but I think you are doing a terrific job in the trading room.  You have much more patience than I ever would.  It is fun, and more importantly, educational to be there.  Best to you and your family in the new year. Tom

January 6, 2010 | Tom

Dear Scott, Happy New Year!  2009 was an excellent year for me.  I moved to trading full time after about 3 years of learning to trade and have developed a very sound trading style that suits me well. Moving to full time trading (and improving my skills sufficiently) has given my the opportunity to now manage some significant size accounts in 2010, >$1million.  I will be including gap trading as a component of the trades taken in these accounts.  Approx 2-3yrs of trading the gaps under your guidance has given me the confidence to do this so thank you.

Thanks again for the support, trading is the best business I know of and you have been a part of me achieving what I sometimes doubted was possible.....Regards, Steve

January 4, 2010 | Steve

Happy New Year, I wanted to follow-up with you regarding the Understanding Index Futures webinar.  I thought Tim did a wonderful job of presenting the information clearly and pulling the information together. Thanks, Dwayne

January 1, 2010 | Dwayne

Hey Scott:  I was an early member (year + ago) and have been busy with a few startups so i haven't been trading much.   I've continued to get your emails and am impressed with how far you have taken your site and business in just a few years.  Congrats! Happy new year, Mike

January 1, 2010 | Mike

Hi Tim,

Just an update from a grateful student. I finished Dec. at  + 5% on my account. 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

December 31, 2009 | David

Hi Scott, Kudos to a great website and parting of knowledge to everyone. Joe

December 30, 2009 | Joe

Scott, Been trading using your filters and a sprinkle of my discretion since 11/17. Since then there have been eight trade days I've faded the ES on recommended occasions per the morning advisory. Of those 6 filled or extended filled, one was a loser (yesterday's trade- a scratch for me) and one I closed out on 12/15 for a two tick bump on the plus side.  So overall I'm six for eight $2,245. to the plus side on 25K account. Phenomenal results. Thank you and I wanted to wish you and the family a very happy, healthy and prosperous holiday and new year. Best regards, Rob

December 23, 2009 | Rob

A few lines to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy new year and to THANK YOU for the great jobs you guys do in the room every day.  All the best, Jaime

Scott, I am  four for four on the trade days and one for two on the No Trade days since 11/17. Overall up 5% on the account balance for the period. Many thanks for all your sage advice. Rob

December 14, 2009 | Rob

Hi Scott, Thanks so much. I have survived my first year. You and our room has boosted me to the winning side.  Gary

December 14, 2009 | Gary

Scott, I respect and admire your discipline. When you're not feeling 100%, you loose an edge. Have a good weekend! Emery

Hello Scott... And as always thank you for the Gap System it has really grouded my style of trading and has made me very sucessfull over the last 12 months im up 70% on my account and i have not had 1 losing month... Lou

December 11, 2009 | Lou

Greetings Scott, Thanks.  I appreciate all the content that you provide and have learned a lot from your gap wraps and the guides.  Definitely a quality service/product. Bill

December 10, 2009 | Bill

No problem Scott, thanks for letting me know.  I also thought you'd like an update on how I'm doing, I've only been trading one contract but have profited over 2,000 since November 18th.  I'm still amazed at how easy it is.  Thanks again!

December 10, 2009 | Pradeep

Just wanted to again thank you for coming to our meetup last night. The presentation was very helpful to me.  In particular, I really appreciated you sharing the details of your life's story, and how you did some soul searching and figured out what fit all your values.  I also very much identified with a few aspects of your trading style, including the time / lifestyle element of your strategy design.

December 10, 2009 | Dave

This is the first testimonial I have ever given to any product or service. I am so glad that after hearing you speak in Pasadena last June, I decided to give your service a try. As a daily member in the Live Trading room, I find the information you provide exceptional, and have definitely increased my day trading skills, though I still have a long way to go. I'm particularly impressed with your transparency, openness, and honest straight talk. No question goes unanswered in the trading room. Trading the opening gap has achieved the consistency I never had using other short-term trading strategies - 18 winners in the last 25 trades since October 1st. I plan on being a member for a long time.  Marty

December 4, 2009 | Robert

Hi Tim,  thanks so much... ps joining this group turned my young trading career around....thanks to you and scott...

December 2, 2009 | Gary

Hi Scott, I've also enjoyed our sessions and look forward to keeping in touch; the mentorship exceeded all my expectations and have the utmost respect for your open and honest way of teaching and doing business.  It is obvious how much you enjoy teaching and I think that's what made learning so easy and enjoyable. Pradeep

December 1, 2010 | Pradeep

Thanks Scott,I have gained so much from the chat room over these months that i try to hang for an hour even with no trade. its always amazing how much there is in this very basic simple stratagy of fading the gap. fred

December 1, 2009 | Fred

Hi there-- Hope you are coming to NYC Traders Expo Feb 2010. I heard your talk last Feb. and it was the most valuable talk of the entire Expo--I became a subscriber. Hope to have a chance to say hello to you there.  Sharona

November 17, 2009 | Sharona

Hi Scott,  I also thought you'd like to hear that I had my first successful gap trade this morning, a great feeling.  Pradeep

November 17, 2009 | Pradeep

Thanks Scott; I appreciate you ponying up for my mental lapse.  You know, of course, most internet moguls would have kept the money.  Seriously though, you’re such a standup guy, it’s really quite impressive. Best,Evan

November 16, 2009 | Evan

Hi Gap Geeks,  Your service is exceptional and I plan on being a member for years to come. Thanks, Michael

November 16, 2009 | Michael

I am presently not a member as of yet but have hopes to join very soon. This e mail is not about questions or etc. I in honesty did not know you at the last expo and have hi hopes to meet you then and hope to share some smiles when I tell you that I am a member and am allowing myself to make some GAP GREEN.  Ok even from a present non member I thank you for your sharing, humor and honesty.

November 15, 2009 | Sam

I am enjoying the room and appreciate your work.  Sorry about your execution error today.  I will spare you all of my similar experiences.   Anyway, thanks again for you "odds in your favor" approach, your honesty, and you "usual" equanimity when  taking a loss.  This has helped me be not so fearful of a little draw down.  As you say, you have to risk something to make something, or something to that effect.  Take good care, Tom

November 13, 2009 | Tom

I really enjoyed the book. I will be going your trading room shortly. I really appreciate all the information you freely give out. You have built some great research. Thanks,Tyson

November 13, 2009 | Tyson

I thought you ran a good trading room. I appreciated your openness and honesty as it related to your trades, and how you handled your winners as well as losers.  And while our trading styles and signals are different, I definitely liked your methodical (and statistical approach) to you trading.  Being a math guy, I'm definitely drawn to the probabilities and testing.  I also wanted to say Happy Veterans Day.  Thank you for your service to our country.

November 11, 2009 | Jeff

Must say I am very impressed by your site. As I said I have an automated strategy which I will share the details with you. I have to go to work at the moment, but over the next couple of days I will give you a description of it and show you the tradestation equity curve...as I would love to hear your thoughts.

November 10, 2009 | Max

As a side note, I did end up renewing my subscription today after trying to fade the gap myself.  I tried to fade this morning's gap but without your guides I felt naked not knowing the odds.  After quickly being down about -2/-3 pts I didn't like what I was feeling and promptly renewed my subscription and saw the horrible odds I had traded into. 

November 9, 2009 | SH

I enjoy your work, keep up the good job.

November 9, 2009 | Paul

Thanks for sharing you failures Scott, you’re awesome!  And wow, nice recovery day trade!  I look forward to renewing my membership someday soon. scott

November 3, 2009 | Scott

your  honesty  about  your  trades  is  the  best research,  causes us  to   prepare  and  take  nothing  for granted...thanks

October 29, 2009 | Sam

Please thank Scott for the webinar last night. A lot of it was a refresher for people with subscriptions who read the book already but it was very interesting and Scott is always a great speaker. Thanks again.

October 2, 2009 | T.I.M.

Hi Scott, Firstly let me thank you for the excellent service that you provide. It gave me the impetus I needed to develop my own Gap systems for the FTSE and the Russell and so far performance has been good. Gap trading if perfect for my personality due to the limited time you need to be at the screen when the markets open, I am very grateful to have come across your site and have learnt from someone with so much integrity. When you have your money management service up and running perhaps you could send me some information. Thanks for the inspiration. 

October 20, 2009 | Angus

Hi Scott, I really appreciate all the work that you do and I believe you are one of the few people out there that is so transparent with their trading and willing to share so much information. I am watching pretty much all your video wrap ups that you release as I use very similar gap strategies and I look at the same set ups. Once again, I appreciate all the work that you do and I appreciate even more the fact that you are willing to share it with so many people. Yours, Dimitri

October 13, 2009 | Dimitri

Scott, I just want to thank you for your introducing me to gap trading and for the way the trading room is run.  I have found that gap trading is the clearest, least ambiguous and for me the simplest and most profitable form of day trading.  The trading room is run in a professional yet comfortable manner with no wild egos on the part of either the facilitator or the participants.  For me it's simply great! Thanks again, Frank

October 7, 2009 | Frank

Thanks for a great gap trading service.

October 3, 2009 | Michael

Hi Scott,
Great call, again. Thanks very much. Have a great weekend. Barry

October 2, 2009 | Barry

Nice trade and I love the videos. Am learning a ton.  Thanks, Brian

September 23. 2009 | Brian

Hello Scott,
    Am enjoying you Masterthegap website and your expertise on the eminis.I am a retired US Air pilot living and started trading after I retired.Have had a lot of difficulty,but starting to come together and you are very helpful as I love to trade the minis. I was a Navy man,but am really impressed at the quality of the Army guys. Will look forward to working with you in the future.

September 19, 2009 | Phil

Hi Scott, I appreciate your prompt reply.  I have found your research info very useful.  Thanks,Zoltan

September 4, 2009 | Zoltan

Scott, I think you are doing a great job with the site, including adding on additional markets and services. You are one of the few honest people I have encountered in the business. Thanks, Glenn

August 31, 2009 | Glenn

Hi Scott, I'm having a good time in the trading room and I want to say thanks. Over time I'm sure it will translate into more trading profits. Today was a great trading day!

August 30, 2009 | Hal

I'm an experienced trader (over 12 years full time) who uses your offering in somewhat unorthodox way - I do take some of the trades but I mostly listen in for real time help in handling gaps for a few of my larger swing-trading positions already in play.  You clearly know what you are doing and are doing it well, openly and in a friendly fashion... who wants to listen to an inexperienced, secretive grouch at 9:15 in the morning?  :-) Take care, all the best, keep up the good work! John

August 30, 2009 | John

Thanks a lot Scott, I appreciate your generosity here and as displayed in other ways on MTG.

August 28, 2009 | Phil

scott  have  been  using  r-1  as  a  place to  fad  these  gap  ups..once  they  can't  stay  above  r-1   they work...thanks  for  this  tidbit. good  liuck and  thanks  again..reALLY HAS  HELPED..SAM

August 28, 2009 | Sam

Last night I viewed your prerecorded webinar on Gaps.  I just wanted to say that I was very impressed with the amount of material you have included in your site as well as all the back testing you have done. This is certainly more than most people have done on the subject.

Again, I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the details you have provided on your methodology!

August 23, 2009 | Michael

You amaze me with your willingness to share. I think it's a good thing and will inure to your benefit over time. Hal

August 16, 2009 | Hal

Keep Up The Great Work!  I have found your information to be excellent & have recommended you before.
I thank you for your quality services & send you good wishes for continued success.  Good Trading. Sincerely,Simcha

August 21, 2009 | Simcha

Scott...thought you might appreciate this e-mail i received....my wife and i went to Ceaser's Palace and had Mesa Grill's special meal to celebrate the largest profit trade i've had with you...thx for guidance...jim

August 14, 2009 | Jim

I really apperciate your site and your prompt replies.  So far, I have been able to consistently make money.

August 14, 2009 | Al

I am at my biannual anniversary with Master the Gap, and I am very pleased with all aspects of what you offer. Today’s events made me think of a slight spin on the saying, "I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." I received my 3 month Master the Gap bill, while my IB account increased over $5500 with today’s trade. The transparency you offer is something completely unique to my +12 years of trading.

While you strive to teach us to fish (in lieu of serving us catfish and hushpuppies), I want to support the fact that you also personally serve up the feast a couple of times a week.  Firstly, your real-time calls immediately create respect for you and trust in your methodology.  What better way to calm the nerves of newbies?  Secondly, by explaining the subtle nuances of each trade’s unique characteristics, you are acting as a personal mentor to many aspiring traders. Cheers! Evan

August 13, 2009 | Evan

Chris, thanks a lot. You guys run a great business, very professional, always straight forward and very quick and helpful with your responses!  Say hello to Scott, Harry

August 13, 2009 | Harry

Hi Scott just wanted you to know that information in the right hands can be quite a powerfull and profitable .....
I am contining to do very well with the skills that i have learned and the addition  of your system and information.... Thanks and keep up the good work!!! LOU

August 13, 2009 | Lou

Scott, 
 
Just a note to say your gap expertise was extremely impressive the last 2 days. Yesterday's goal of having at least 1 pt of opportunity saved us from a loser. Also today your recognition of the patterns (hanging man??) got us a good winner.   Nice job, Ken

August 6, 2009 | Ken

Scott, I just purchased and read you book on Gaps, and it is very informative - thanks for making Gaps easier to understand. Thanks.

August 2, 2009 | Bud

Hi Scott another winning month using a combination of price guides and gap plays, this makes 4 months straight.
A tough month for gap plays but with the help of your price guides my winning streak continues 35 points this month... Thanks and keep up the good work!!!!

August 1, 2009 | Louis

Scott, Thanks for getting back to me. I do enjoy your methodology and the "nuggets" I recieve by being a member of Master the Gap. It is an incredible site. Take care, Dan

July 27, 2009 | Dan

Dear Scott.  Last year, I lost XX% of my total asset from investment in mutual funds. Then I retired from my medical practice, started to learn day trading. I went through three day trading schools, joined three chat rooms, and attended more than 100 day trading lectures...

Lately, I saw your presentations from Money Show, found you have much more scientific and statistical data than any one I know. I joined you membership a few weeks ago. I love it, it made more money for me for sure...your program is safer than buy and hold. Thank you. Kevin

July 22, 2009 | Kevin

Scott, thanks for your great site. Thought you'd be interested:  I sometimes fade the gap when you don’t (when the probabilities are high). I use the Gap Guides in June to go 8/8 and make about $11k trading 6-8 contracts.  I use a a little bigger stop than you (7-8 pts in the ES) and never adjust the stops/targets. I’ve found it best to trade full size on all of my gap plays – even when you don’t. Keep up the great work.  Regards, Dave

July 6, 2009 | David

Scott just wanted to tell you that i used your price guide this morning and went long at 882.50 and scalped 3 points...   I think using your price guides in combination with my technical trading style that i learned from Linda Raschke is going to make for a  very successful year..... My last two months ive had 35 trades 29 winners 5 losers and 1 scratch...Profit Factor for May 5.50 Profit Factor for June 10.0 Unbelievable

July 6, 2009 | Louis

Hi Scott, I just thought I'd drop you a message to let you know how the system has been working out for me thus far. Since I started my trial on 5/29, the performance has been as follows:
* 5 gap trading days, 11 gap trades (mostly SPY/DIA/QQQQ)
* 10 winners, 1 loser
* PF: 7.33
* R (Profit per dollars risked): 40%
Granted this is a small sample size, but thus far I think the system has proven itself to be very sound. The low R was initially troubling. But given that we're selecting trades with higher historical win % and PFs, the extra risk is justified. Thanks,Gregg

June 16, 2009 | Gregg

Hi Scott,  I have been trading the Gap with your service for about 2.5 months and I've had some rough times (April) but also some good times May and June :-) so overall I am enjoying the service. I especially like that you are numbers oriented and try to take the subjectivity out of trading as much as possible.

June 15, 2009 | Rubin

Chris, i'm very very happy with the service and i'll be continuing with the service for a long time.  thanks,  Javier

June 14, 2009 | Javier

Hi Scott; Can you stand a little boasting about your mentorship. I'm up $4877 for trading the three days after we finished the training. I took the gap today with an extended goal of one point. Three cars for $572 per car.   I enjoyed working with you on a one-on-one basis and I think the mentorship was perfect for me. Regards, Hal

June 10, 2009 | Hal

Thanks for keeping up with the trading room, especially while traveling, doing mentorships, and on west coast time. You’re my hero.  Sincerely, thanks for all the help. The mentorship has been really changed the way I’ll trade from now on. I can’t wait to see my system in action!

June 5, 2009 | Isaac

June 5, 2009 | Tony

I'm a new subscriber to the service.  I think the info and analysis is great, keep up the hard work!best, Patrick

June 2, 2009 | Patrick

You are very helpful and I really appreciate the attention.  also love your service and the morning briefings.

thanks, Travis

May 14, 2009 | Travis

Scott, before fully committing to trading the ES I reviewed your 16 month track record that was posted on the old site and followed you with small size for a while as well. Once I believed in it, I had no trouble trading along with you. I find that you are always open and honest on the site and in one-on-one conversation. The best traders usually are. Thanks.

April 16, 2009 | Isaac

First time in your trading room this am. Very impressed with your service. I have found lots of services with little to no data backing up their methods. Yours is one of the few that has that. easy way to separate out what has value and what does not.

April 9, 2009 | Ken

Your ES price guide was very helpful to me today, Scott!  Just thought you'd like to know.

April 1, 2009 | Bob

I appreciate your services and the effort you put in. Keep up the great work. And, by the way, I really appreciate the addition of the YM and others, give me a better feel for the overall quality of the fades, and a selection, as I find myself trading the YM as often now as the ES.

Scott,

Hi Scott - I am very happy to have come across your site and am definitely inspired to set up my own system. Pity I didn't run across your site a year ago!! Just ordered historical data on the Russell today to do some testing when I get back. I've being trying so hard to make a go at day trading for the past 2 years and having learnt a lot, I still feel it could be another 2 years!! I've come to the conclusion that I really don't want to spend my life behind a monitor all day! Trading gaps certainly seems like a great way to pay the bills and stll maintain some flexibility in your life. Thanks once again for such a great service and all the hard work you have put in.

February 27, 2009 | Angus

Scott, I find that these probabilities really do work long term - I think that's the key - kind of tough to judge over a month or so, although I've not had a negative month since last June. Thanks for all you do.

February 25, 2009 | Matt

You do a great job Scott.  Please know that I, and I am sure you chat room regulars, appreciate the effort you take to help others.

February 23, 2009 | Ed

Your ES price guide was very helpful to me today, Scott!  Just thought you'd like to know. Enjoy your nice long weekend!

February 13, 2009 | Bob

The information in the book "understanding Gaps" is tremendous, it goes way beyond anything I had ever heard or read on Gaps. The book is easy to read, and very informative. If you plan on trading Gaps, you should read this book!

February 9, 2009 | Sean

Scott, instead of emailing you I thought you might appreciate a plug on your website. 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.
Randy

February 6, 2009 | Randy

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!
Leigh

January 22, 2009 | Leigh

I respect what you are doing and am positive that you have an edge. You are definitely a class act and I respect your integrity above any adviser in the industry.

January 19, 2009 | Picky

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!

January 13, 2009 | Javier

You have created the best educational-mentor combination I have experienced in 18 years of looking at everything. If a person wants to see what it takes to be a "real" trader, I suggest your service. Its affordable and has a real time track record to back it up. thanks for your efforts.

Scott: I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your Active Trader article "Opening Gap Locations" in the December 2008 issue. Good job and thanks for writing it.

December 28, 2009 | Tom

October 17, 2008 | Fred

You are very helpful answering emails quickly and in detail … one of the more honest trading educators out there and seem to want to help out traders … keep up the great work

October 5, 2008 | Alvin

I've been a member here now for about 3 months and have been very happy with this service. This method is great as a stand alone (with excellent results by the way) or to supplement your own gap entry method. Either way, the research on the site and Scott's record speak for themselves. They're both excellent!!! Otis rocks!!!

September 12, 2008 | Matthew

Last Sunday I was organizing all my notes since April 2008, every trade that I did, I took a note and explained why I took that setup, now I exactly know which ones are winners, and which ones are losers.

I won in most of the gap trades, I am taking the gaps when Scott recommended them and when his recommendations agree with my analysis... and since April, I only lost in two gap plays. Sometimes, when Scott recommended the gap play I did not take it, but every time that I followed his recommendations, and my analysis, I won, except for two trades.

July 22, 2008 | Alejandra

Anyone planning SnP gap trades will find the nightly gap map and database to be very useful. Avoidance of BLUD trades is invaluable.

July 22, 2008 | Terry

Gap Guy has created the best "opening gap" back tested system with comprehensive statistical data available... I have used his system and data to create my own gap system that has return amazing results. Cash in the BANK RESULTS!!! This system is so easy and profitable I reorganised my trading business plan to allocate 50% of trading funds to the Daily Gap...

I recommend anyone day trading to use this valuable resource to trade Gaps!

July 3, 2008 | Matt

Scott

Your backtesting-intensive approach to gap trading is the best I have seen. As someone who primarily trades equities, I have benefited greatly from your daily commmentary. I like the fact you're less concerned with win rate than you are with profit expectancy and money management. You also project a confidence and honesty and humily that really sets you apart. Thanks for your service and keep up the great work!

May 10, 2008 | Rick

Scott, Thanks for the great room. Your chat helped me to make 3 out of 3 successful plays today on the ES. Your techniques and descriptions helped me feel confident about the execution and also effected high percentage winning. You have a lot of research you have done that has supported the decisions, as you frequently explain.

April 3, 2008 | Bill

Okay...I had to add a new testimonial after today (2/14). I had covered all of my short ES on the gap play but then you said there was a potential for a break down below the day's low. So...I re-entered a short and picked up 4 more points. I wouldn't have thought of such a trade without your email alert---thanks again!

February 14, 2008 | Rock

Scott
I cant tell you how grateful I am for your website and as new trader I want to make gaps my primary play, I look forward to learning as much as I can from you. You are a wealth of gap knowledge and your calls are well explained
Thanks.
Sean

January 28, 2008 | Sean

Super System..!!! Super instuctions !!

Best Explanation of Gap Factors ever found!!

Thanks so much for your Hard work..

January 18, 2008 | Jy

Gap Guy,
Played the gap from the dentist office this morning, all from my treo, read the gap guy "today's Gap Play", entered my order with a target and a stop, had my teeth cleaned, then checked the results , +8.5 points on 2 contracts - best trip to the dentist ever! Thanks again.

January 17, 2008 | Moose

Gap,

One of the great value-added features of your site is that in some cases the target is well beyond a simple gap fill. On 1/9, the gap itself was small but your target was several points away. I took it and made 5.75 ES points where normally I would have skipped the trade. The trade also worked because of your advice about using a wide stop that day.
On 1/17, I made 7.25 again because your target was beyond the simple gap fill price.
You provide more than one way to win at this game--good job!

January 17, 2008 | Rock

Scott,

I'm very pleased with my results using your gap guidance. And the site and your services are getting better and better, too. Thanks for putting up your results. Would be good to see actual totals and cumulatives there.

Thanks! I can only imagine how much work you've put in on this.

December 12, 2007 | Michael

Gap Guy,

Just made 4.25 points on a 1 point gap today following your gap targets! Thanks for the great site.

December 11, 2007 | Moose

Gap Guy, your site is a wonderful resource for both new and experienced traders. Trading gaps is a great opportunity to apply a mechanical system and you've done a great job of explaining how you apply your backtesting. I keep learning new things about trading from both your daily blog and also your explanations of how you play the gaps. Thanks for taking the time to develop this site!

December 4, 2007 | Ben

Gap Guy,

I am still developing my Gap trading system, and your site has been a HUGE asset. I reference your site every morning and love the email updates. I am truly impressed with the amount of data you have compiled and studied and coverted into a very profitable trading system for gaps on the ES. Your site is the best source on the web for gap trading. Keep up the good work and the new site looks awesome!

Tim

November 28, 2007 | Tim

Hi,

I recently discovered your website and noticed the apparent detail you have included with your trading method.
While the gap method is something I have seen before this is first time I have seen in gone into with this much detail.
Thank you!

November 28, 2007 | Bill
