A day or two after paying $997 for 20 Minutes Trader, I read the reviews (something I should have done before paying 🤦🏾♀️)and realized the material appeared to be the same information already circulating online.
I hadn’t opened any classes or signed the NDA, so I contacted customer service to request a refund. And, as you might guess, they asked me to get on a call.
I had already reviewed their refund policy, but during the call, the representative repeatedly insisted that they don’t offer refunds. When I pointed out their own policy, she seemed unfamiliar with it. She also used legal jargon that left me wondering whether she was trying to intimidate me.
The conversation felt more like a sales pitch than customer support. Her responses seemed scripted, and she couldn’t answer several questions about the company.
I haven’t accessed any classes or used the platform. I simply want my $997 refunded.

Little more than a scam
Stay FAR, FAR away from this program. You'll pay a bunch of money to get the top level "this has been back tested for over three years and always works, we swear" program, only to see it not consistently earn you money. They're always making adjustments to the pattern, telling you it works 19 out of 20 times, and when it doesn't work, they'll have you thinking it was your fault, not the pattern being unreliable. I gave it nearly a year. It simply does not work.

Total scam
Total scam, they had a fancy seminar touting their program but failed to tell you about all the subscriptions you need just to keep everything going, its hundreds of dollars. Their customer service is abysmal. They prey on working Individuals and do not care about you. STEER CLEAR!

I regret ever signing up for 20 Minute…
I regret ever signing up for 20 Minute Trader.
I paid for the Gold package when I started and put real time and effort into trying to learn and execute the strategy exactly as taught. In practice, I found it incredibly difficult to use consistently. The trades happen extremely fast, multiple conditions have to line up at once, divergence can change quickly, and some mornings there are barely any setups that look legitimate at all.
One of my biggest frustrations is that Jeremy seems to be constantly updating, modifying, or adding to his own rules. Instead of making the strategy clearer over time, that made it even harder for me to understand exactly what a valid setup was supposed to be. It honestly reached the point where I started wondering whether the original strategy had ever really worked consistently in the first place, or whether the rules were being adjusted as problems became obvious.
My personal results were terrible. It didn’t feel like a strategy with a meaningful edge to me — it often felt closer to a 50/50 short-term scalp, and in my own trading my results were closer to 80% losses and 20% wins. I also blew three prop-firm accounts while trying to execute this method, which made the total cost of this experience far more than just the course and Gold fees.
I understand other people may have had different results, but based on my experience I found the strategy overly complicated, too fast, inconsistent, and extremely difficult to trust. I eventually lost confidence in it completely.
I wish I had spent the money and time learning a simpler price-action strategy instead. I would not recommend 20 Minute Trader.

An absolute fraud
20 minute trading/ Jeremey whatever is an absolute scam and fraud of a trading mentorship. Save your money, this is how these guys get rich. Selling courses, this dude can’t show you multiple years of profits and taxes for his trading. His entire credibility is based on the ability to pay for a funded prop account. Such a joke.

We understand the skepticism, and we appreciate being held accountable.
The real measure of the 20 Minute Trader program isn’t whether Jeremy, or any other mentor, has a good or bad trading month. What matters most is how the people who learn and consistently apply the strategy perform.
That’s why we regularly survey our members and publish the complete results. Our legal team reviews how those findings are presented, and we make the exact survey questions and responses available so people can evaluate the results for themselves.
In our surveys, 68.4% of respondents reported being profitable using the strategy. Of those profitable respondents, 99% came to us as amateurs or without previous trading experience. That is especially meaningful to us because widely cited research indicates that fewer than 10% of day traders are profitable overall.
These results are self-reported and do not guarantee that every student will succeed. Trading involves risk, and individual outcomes vary. However, helping ordinary people learn a structured approach and improve their results is what we are most proud of, and it remains the standard by which we judge the program.
We will continue listening when people challenge us and being as transparent as possible about what the program offers, what members experience, and what prospective students should realistically expect.

Upon reading there NDA I decided not to…
Upon reading there NDA I decided not to do business with them. For simple reasons like your are screwed once you sign it and send it back. So I asked for a refund and they said it would take 7-14 business days. Which is total BS. They are the type of business that will sit on your refund till they make interest on it and then send it back. I highly recommend doing your research and not spending 1K to read such a worthless NDA. I honestly believe that most of these reviews are fake. The market is flooded with trading Algorithms And I wish i could honestly share a good company to work with but nope. Still looking.......
Response from 20 Minute TraderAug 31, 2026
We’re sorry the NDA made you uncomfortable, and we respect your decision not to move forward. However, we want to correct several statements in this review.
We have never delayed a refund to earn interest, nor have we ever made a penny of interest from a customer’s refund. The quoted 7–14-business-day timeframe accounts for our processing time and the additional time credit card processors and banks may require to return funds to an account. This is a standard processing estimate—not an attempt to hold anyone’s money. We’re a small business made up of a few dozen dedicated mentors, and holding $1,000 for several days would not generate meaningful interest in any case.
We have also never created, purchased, or posted a fake review or used fake followers. Reviews reflect the opinions and experiences of individual customers, and Trustpilot’s policies prohibit businesses from submitting fabricated reviews. The fact that this critical review appears publicly and can be answered openly is part of that transparent process.
Regarding the NDA, its purpose is not to “screw” anyone. It is intended to protect a specific trading strategy that took considerable time and effort to develop. If the strategy were published and used indiscriminately by a very large number of traders, it could become saturated and less effective. In simple terms, the NDA asks customers not to publish or distribute the proprietary details of the strategy.
In our five years of business, we have never pursued a customer for violating this NDA. Its purpose is to protect the material, not to threaten or trap our members. Many customers understand and appreciate why the strategy needs to remain within the community, although we recognize that this type of agreement will not be right for everyone.
You are entitled to share your opinion, but the allegations that we profit by withholding refunds or manufacture reviews are simply untrue.

ROI isn't there for most people
Don't pay for trading courses like this. Thousands of dollars that is 50/50 if it can work for anybody. Do you want to pay for a slot machine style trading course? This is it. It's fun and the mentors keep everything engaging.
The online world is filled with free trading information about institutional order flow, entering trades in zones of importance, but this is designed with real trading in mind and won't teach it to you.
If I were to start trading over I would research online as much as you can before you spend the thousands of dollars this team asks of it's students. I remained a member of the team for 6 months with little education or profit to show for it.
Response from 20 Minute TraderAug 31, 2026
KD, we’re genuinely sorry that your six months with 20 Minute Trader did not provide the education or results you expected.
You are correct that the internet is filled with free trading information. Nearly everything taught in paid trading programs, including ours, can be found somewhere on YouTube or through other online resources. Someone willing to spend enough time researching those resources may ultimately develop a broader trading education than we provide.
What 20 Minute Trader offers is not intended to be a comprehensive education in every trading concept or strategy. We focus on one specific setup, the Gold Pattern, and teach only the chart knowledge and platform functions needed to identify and trade its four criteria. The goal is to give beginners a clear path without overwhelming them with countless indicators, menus, symbols, strategies, and chart configurations.
The Gold Pattern has been researched using millions of historical backtests. We have also conducted multiple R&D labs and clinics involving hundreds of people, ranging from complete beginners to experienced traders. These sessions helped us continually test the criteria, confirm that the pattern was still performing, and optimize it to identify the easiest and most profitable ways to use it.
Students are taught how to use the trading platform, practice the pattern through paper trading, and develop a sufficiently consistent win rate before trading live. They can also watch professional traders trade the pattern live so they can learn, improve, and see what the setup looks like under real market conditions.
Students are then given a free challenge account to trade, so they do not have to put up their own trading capital. This eliminates the risk of losing their personal trading capital while completing that challenge.
Trading always involves risk, and no strategy will work for everyone or guarantee profits. However, in a survey sent to everyone who had ever purchased a service from us, 68.4% of respondents reported that they were profitable using the strategy. By comparison, commonly cited research places the overall success rate for day traders, including those learning independently through free online resources, below 10%.
That does not diminish your experience, and we’re sorry the program and the mentorship available did not produce a positive outcome for you. We appreciate your honest feedback and agree that everyone should thoroughly research both trading and any educational program before spending money.

Scam
Scam. Don’t waste your money. I was in the mentorship and they remove access for everything after 6 months. Strategy stopped working in the new market regime as well
