Rachael Tormos has moved UP from Director of Continuing Ed to effecting the education of clients directly as the new analyst of the Flex Trading Room. Here she provides a clear, concise analysis utilizing and explaining multiple indicators/systems including Master Flex, Targets, Harmonics and Fibonaccis. While discussing market conditions Rachael suggests systems available to client such as Perfect Storm Pro Range for consolidation. She stresses patience and discipline - to wait for confirmation before placing a trade. All questions are answered and Rachael checks for understanding while reinforcing that help is only a phone call away - providing the number to reach the client support team. Mostly Rachael is sincere in her mission to help clients achieve success and asks for suggestions to aid in this process. I believe Rachael will have a positive impact on all clients She already has for me.

Terrible academy and its recommended broker FXDD stole the funds

El MTI, para el uso de su producto PipGrabber, recomendó el broker FXDD. No sólo eso, sino que en sus comunicados pasados indicó que pipgrabber podía ser usado únicamente con sus brokers recomendados.
Su estrategia Martingala con pisos por dos años dio muchísimo dinero a sus brokers en swap. En el caso de su recomendación FXDD (Perú), el broker recomendado ha desaparecido con los fondos. Sus clases no tienen un formato actualizado y sus resultados son muy cuestionables. Perdí tiempo y dinero. No lo recomendaría. He reclamado la devolución del curso por ByDyzine quien no se responsabiliza de las recomendaciones del MTI; pero, para promocionarlo, sí los promueve como la mejor academia de Trading. Es una estafa. Ojalá me devolvieran al menos mi inscripción por pipgrabber porque el robo de fxdd es algo que amerita investigación en que creo que el MTI podría estar involucrado junto con Bydzyne.

The MTI, for the use of its PipGrabber product, recommended the FXDD broker. Not only that, but in its past communications it indicated that pipgrabber could only be used with its recommended brokers.
His Martingale strategy with floors for two years gave a lot of money to his swap brokers. In the case of your FXDD (Peru) recommendation, the recommended broker has disappeared with the funds. Their classes do not have an updated format and their results are very questionable. I wasted time and money. I wouldn't recommend it. I have claimed the refund of the course by ByDyzine who is not responsible for the MTI recommendations; but, to promote it, it does promote them as the best Trading academy. It's a scam. I wish they would at least refund my pipgrabber registration because the theft of fxdd is something that warrants investigation in which I believe the MTI could be involved along with Bydzyne.

RACHEL IS WONDERFUL ‼️

Rachel Tormos (daughter of The late Jared Martinez) is now an analyst for Market Traders (formally MTI) . Her father had built an empire with MTI and made it to where us” Little people” Actually have a chance for financial freedom. Racial is one who strives for greatness within her students!! She really takes the time with us making sure all of our questions are answered during and at the end of every webinar she host. She makes sure there is always a way to link, post, chat, etc… whenever we feel lost or get stuck. She is a TRUE asset to this company and ABSOLUTELY LOVE her way of explaining things to her students!!

Rachael's Insight

I really like how Rachael goes through all the Forex pairs with her expectations. She also does a great job answering everyone's questions. I do have one suggestion, Tian, and Chris had google sheets that helped find trades at a glance especially if you were unable to attend their session, so I think it would be helpful if Rachael had an idea sheet as well. The only thing that has not been good for me is getting the Precision Trader course and widget. Racheal says we should have it as part of Chief's Mastery and was told to call support and they tell me to call Rachael, and she tells me to contact support etc.

I've spent thousands of dollars with MTI. Now none of my previous purchase available when I log in. GREEDY company that wants everyone on monthly subscriptions now. Past loyalty means nothing now that Jared has passed away. RUN away from anything offered by them.

I have sent multiple support request concerning my previous purchased programs no longer showing up in dashboard. ZERO response.

Dear Steven,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the issues you’ve faced. We recently transitioned to a new CRM system, which unfortunately caused some disruptions in student access, and I can see you were one of the affected students. I completely understand how frustrating this must have been, and I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience it caused.

I want to assure you that we’ve already resolved these issues for all of our students. We take our core values very seriously, especially when it comes to creating a great client experience, and we want to make sure you feel fully supported and taken care of.

I noticed that we’ve tried to reach out to you to inform you that the problem has been resolved, and I would love the chance to speak with you personally. It’s important to me to understand why you haven’t been able to connect with our support team, and to ensure everything is now working as it should on your end.

If you could kindly return our calls or emails at your convenience, we’d be grateful for the opportunity to make things right. Your experience matters to us, and we’re here to help however we can. I can be reached at rtormos@markettraders.com.
Looking forward to connecting with you,

Sincerely,
Rachael

Watch out! will loose your money

Company makes the software to trade and recommends to use one broker (fxdd) as prefered and pushes people to use it as their software designed to work better with them. Broker turned out to be a ponzi scheme and MTI been hiding on any responsibility.

Also they put trades against market trend and people burn their accounts as there is no enough capital to keep them alive. I guess they get commision from high swaps from brokers and if accounts burn is better for them.

Gary been is a buy order on CADCHF for almost 2 years and still try to sell smoke that price will go up. Lots of people lost their money.

their software is with lots of bugs and if a bug closes your trades and you loose, they play dumb and support is useless.

They use a company to Market the product called bydzyne that is a ponzi scheme, bring people gain commissions the more you bring and put under you the more you make.

Thank you for your review JP. There are many things that are factually incorrect about your post and we welcome the opportunity to speak with you about them. Most notably, MTI has never been and will never be the custodian of any clients assets. We are an education company. Additionally, clients have the freedom to work with any broker and we do not push brokers to our clients or our clients to any one broker. Additionally, we do not earn swap fees or commissions for clients to lose money. We are in the business of helping clients earn money and will continue that as our core focus. We kindly ask that you reach out to us so we can have a meaningful discussion. Thank you.

I spent thousands on this company's programs that look like gold but when you own them they work poorly and of course no refunds. Jared Martinez is the owner a great trader who you can follow for a sizeable fee, his son apparently got sick of the scamming ways started his own company with his own programs all have 30 day refund avail. MTI has some ok programs but costs thousands to find the possible jem--stay clear started with them around 2015

I got burnt by this mob of scammers

I got burnt by this mob of scammers, led by their golden child Josh, five years ago - and it seems little has changed. Their whole modus operandi is designed to frustrate, annoy snd syphon off as much money from “students” as possible.
Once you hand over “course” money, your nightmare begins with middle-of-the-night sales calls, copious spam emails and promises that are never fulfilled.
On one occasion, I invested $3000 in one of Chief’s trade copiers, supposedly a parallel strategy monitored and managed by the Chief and his son.
I lost all my money when the market turned overnight, but I found out later, the so-called “Trading with Chief and Josh”, was really just an EA they ran on a demo account at their end. No apologies from MTI for the losses, just hostile responses and abuse when I complained.
Five years after severing my ties with these bloodsuckers, I am still woken by phone calls from their attack dogs and numerous junk mail trying to lure me into another useless session. Nothing has changed, I see.

MTI Funded Account

MTI Funded Account

I have been an MTI student for years, and I was very happy to be with this company. The teachers are professional, especially Tian, who is the best teacher I have ever had.

The problem started when I became a member of the Funded Account program. I paid $2,500.00 to open this account, and I was supposed to receive 50% of the proceeds. My account balance increased from $25,000.00 to $50,000.00, but I did not receive any 50% payout of the proceeds. I started sending emails to Matthew Price, who kept telling me that he had sent the payout document to me. When I told him that I had not received anything, he finally said they had to check the account first and that he would send the document afterward.

Regarding my $2,500.00, he told me a third party has my money. When I responded that my deal was with MTI and not a third party, I did not receive any further response from him.

Regarding the Funded Account program, I am giving MTI zero stars. I expect to receive my 50% of the account proceeds and also the $2,500.00 that I initially paid.

Best Regards,
Masoud

Very valuable tool that changed our future!

I have had a wonderful experience with market traders institute and Smart market Academy, specifically the pip grabber strategy. I have been trading for years on an amateur level and secondary to my primary income as a physician. After seeing the results that some friends had gotten, I decided to dip my toe in-of course cautiously.
I can only say that has been a truly positive experience and has changed my life for the better both from an income, but also an educational standpoint. I have had no issues getting access to my account to deposit withdraw transfer anything of the sort. The academy works with multiple brokers. I am working with Oanda. I cannot speak for other brokers, but I can report my confidence in the Smart market Academy and the pip grabber strategy. The keyword here, though, is strategy. it is very important to maintain a level of understanding and respony for what you’re doing. You need to research to the point that you’re comfortable with the moves that you’re making. The education materials provided are right on target and very clearly explained. Any trading strategy involves risk management. The first goal of any trader is to be able to keep trading and stay alive in the market; thus the reason for a consistent strategy and risk management. In my observation , the only people that have truly struggled, are those with inconsistent trading behavior typically due to inappropriate risk management. To be blunt, you never put all your assets into one trade. It’s really common sense.
I have learned a great deal from the morning sessions with Gary, whether watching them live or recorded or just reading a synopsis. My friends and my family have all benefited greatly from learning from Gary and the Smart market Academy through MTI. It makes me sad to think that trolls with interfere with a person‘s ability to build a stable financial future for themselves and their loved ones.
Take your time do your research learn learn, learn, and whatever strategy you use be consistent and manage your risk appropriately. If you do that I have no doubt that you will be successful with Smart market Academy and MTI.

Life-Changing Experience with Pip Grabber and MTI!

Life-Changing Experience with Pip Grabber and MTI!

I have been using the Pip Grabber for more than 3 and a half years, and it has been an amazing experience that has completely changed my life. Initially, I thought being involved with forex would be very complicated, but with MTI, it has actually been fun and rewarding.

Gary is an amazing teacher who simplifies complex concepts and makes learning enjoyable. Having owned several businesses in my life, I know how challenging it can be to achieve profits over 5% in a traditional business. However, with the guidance and strategies I've learned here, I have seen incredible results and have truly learned how to make money work for me.

Thank you, Gary, for sharing your wealth of experience and for providing us with such valuable information. Your insights have not only improved my trading skills but have also enhanced my overall quality of life. I highly recommend MTI and Pip Grabber to anyone looking to succeed in forex trading.

My experience with MTI has been incredible. Gary has a lot of experience in the world of trading and in his live sessions he shares his knowledge with us and helps us increase our profits with his bonus trade. I think Pip Grabber's strategy is incredibly good.

MTI and the great time behind

I am a new trader in this business and thanks to Gary and all of the material that we get from the MTI, I am starting to understand this market, do´s an dont´s, techniques, tools, macro-economics, etc., in order to be a savvy and well informed trader. I am clear that this takes time, but I believe I am in the right path. Personally, what makes a huge difference about MTI, is the coaching, like Gary´s. He is a straight-forward person, honest, polite and with an open position not only to teach but to learn, like we always do in this business

MTI cannot be trusted

This is the third time I have had to write a review about this company. They offered a Prop Account Program that had some considerable costs associated with it that could only be recouped once the promised account size bumps were made.

After the first account bump I was advised that the Prop Trading Program was being terminated and that I could call to find out details about how the proceeds from the account would be paid. I was told that the payments would take about 60 days because the company wanted to do an audit. The 60 days came and went without any response from the company. I scheduled another call with the person whom I spoke with earlier but she never initiated the call. Emails and letters merely asking for information on when the funds would be made available, went unanswered. I finally sent a letter saying that I want a specific date and time when I would get paid, which again was ignored. It is apparent they have no intention of honoring their promise to pay the proceeds from the prop account.

Great option for rookie traders like me!

Gary is a really good guy and even a better mentor. I've grown my account by 8% every month in 2024 due to the Bonus Trades, which are ideas he provides during one of the sessions.
When things go south he comforts the crowd by analyzing the markets and reinforcing that as a trader one cannot afford be emotional among other risk management tips.
