Great insights from gareth, but im at my wits end
Been a member since January 2022. To keep it simple things were great, was making money till 2023. Took some bad Short positions with NVDA, Appl, MSFT and been holding on blowing by stop losses that were set by your team. I'm a my wits end now and lost all my gains with gareth since the start. I can only blame myself for not setting my own stop losses. Gareth has taught me alot over the years and I love watching his videos and his insights into the markets. I will be taking the knowledge with me as I continue my investing journey, but I can no longer justify paying for the service with these losses I have endured over past couple years. I will admit I started loosing faith in Gareth over the past year and missed out on gains that would have likely kept me in better standings, but at this time I will have to move on. Thanks for the insights and knowledge over the years Gareth and I will be looking forward to watching you as a guest on david Lin's channel! Update in July 2025 - Still short NVDA. Unlimited losses!

Dear Mark, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand the challenges that come with trading, especially in volatile markets. While we aim to offer consistent, high quality insight to help our members achieve their trading goals, we acknowledge that not all trades will go as planned - it's a natural part of trading. This is why we emphasize the important of risk management, and the why we always provide stop losses for members that wish to follow them. As you noted, missing or choosing not to set stop losses can significantly impact performance, particularly when trades don't play out as expected. By following them, you can better safeguard gains and manage exposure. Trading is a journey of both wins and losses, and effective risk management can make a significant difference in the long run. We’re here to support all our members in trading responsibly, and we appreciate the time you’ve spent with us.
