A lot of horrible short trade recommendations, never followed his stops, account lost a lot of money the past year would not recommend service.

I have been a member for 4 years Made good money one year, a little one year, and was red enough the last two years to whip out my gains and then some. My experience has been VERY educational, but beware; Gareth's Winning Rate is high because when he is loosing on a trade he just stays in it until it comes back in without a stop loss. For example off the top of my head he is short: NVDA 12% of portfolio, down 400% App- 10% of portfolio, down 100% GE- 10% of portfolio, down 100% And there are many others SMH, COSTCO, WMT, UAL, RCL, and many more- I have been following his trades and percentages exactly and spent the last 8 months almost getting margin called. Honestly I have learned a lot of Gareth, but I have learned the hard way that is risk management strategy does not work for me. I like Gareth and his team, this is just my experience. Learn from my experience and just DCA into ETFs if you want to make money in the markets. Presently I am trying to exit all of Gareth's loosing trades and it is painful process.

Garath is a used car salesman with a big ego. He hides losers and promotes winners like crazy. Most members have lost big time. Remember its not a win rate that matters, it's gains relative to losses. Without Nick I have left VI.

Experience from a trader with over 10 years trading Forex, I spent one month using the Smart Money Crypto service, and here's my take. Starting with the positives: Gareth S seems like a genuinely nice guy. His knowledge appears solid, and his analysis is decent, hitting around 50% accuracy. He also seems to genuinely believe in what he says, which is a plus. However, beyond that, there's not much good to highlight. Now, onto the negatives. If you're hoping to get funded using this service, think again—especially if you're in a challenge with less than $200k. The stop-loss levels are unrealistically tight for taking positions, and you can't scale up volume effectively, which is a common issue with funded accounts. Gareth bases his entries and exits on trendlines and pivot lines, which isn't inherently bad. But in my experience, relying solely on those, especially for crypto, won't lead to consistent profitability. If you have a large account (e.g., over $100k) or unlimited funds, this strategy might work better, as he typically starts with 1% of the portfolio for most entries and adds to the position. However, his approach to adding can result in positions staying in the red for a month before breaking even. What really baffled me is that at least three positions this month—such as AVAX, SUI, and ETH—hit the stop-loss levels he recommended, yet these positions still appeared as "open" or "ongoing" in his portfolio record. The numbers shown there seem inconsistent with reality. I wouldn't call it outright fake, but they're definitely not entirely accurate. Be aware that Gareth's approach involves heavy DCA (dollar-cost averaging) after every 10% drawdown, and he likely has the capital to sustain this until he hits a small profit or break-even. But most users probably don't have that luxury. In conclusion, if you're paying for this service just to get chart analyses based on Gareth's knowledge, it could be worth it—provided you can afford it. However, don't expect to make significant money following his signals, especially through Smart Money Crypto, maybe other services are way better but this's from my POV is not, wish you the best.

Followed Gareth and team for years and signed up for this service and for a while the crypto service. Learned lots of good information about the market in general, but as others mentioned, the losing positions keep losing even after hitting the stops. Instead of making money with the rise of Nvidia and semiconductors, I lost a ton betting against them per the advice of the team. Several others that I took a hit on as well and a handful of small gains here and there trying to make up for it. Not worth the money, time, or trouble. Just hire an advisor or do a simple ETF portfolio, you'll make more money and save some time.

When recommending a stock to go short or long, entries need to be more exact, time horizon for stock to go in your favor would be helpful, like for example 3- 6 months: also the probability for a stock recommendation to go in your favor when betting against the overall stock market momentum

I recommend you read reviews of the same service under their previous name, In The Money Stocks. I once posted a favorable review under that name after I was with them just a few months but there are many unfavorable reviews there as well. Now that I have been with them for 1 year, I have followed them off a cliff with very large personal losses. You will find no risk managment, and no cutting of losses. As I look down the portfolio, most positions are red. If I had gone long when they said short and gone short when they said long, I would be doing very well. Ironically, they do very good technical analysis and their macro outlook is probably spot on, but 6 months too early to be this bearish. Their weakness is that they do not close bad trades early and claim a small loss but rather wait for a redemption that may never come. They shorted NVDA at $37.71 (current $126) adjusting for the split and should have cut losses long ago, but are hanging on at enormous loss. They also shorted SMCI at $516 (current $858), LLY at $725 (current $913) and SMH at $139 (current 262), all remain at huge losses. There are many others... On the crypto side, they shorted BTC at $56,400 and are still in it (current $60,760). On a positive note, they have had some decent wins with altcoins in the crypto service. In summary, I would say that my expectation is for a trading service to suggest when to buy, when to sell and when to close the trade and walk away. Judge for yourself whether that service is offered here.

I didn't have a good experience with this company and can only confirm the negative reviews written on trustpilot.
