The dishonesty is what upsets me most. Yes, like many others, I lost a huge amount of money on the worst stock call of the decade - shorting semiconductors during a historic rally - but that's not even what led me to write a review. I knew the risks and I made the trade anyway. I figured everyone make a bad call sometimes, and I was going to take my loss and move on.. but the the auto-renewal email showed up, and what happened next really opened my eyes. I was not aware they were going to try and charge me again, and within an hour of receiving it I replied and informed them I had not intended to renew and to please cancel and refund me. I have received refunds from large, faceless corporations several times in this situation, without any hassle. Why? Because they know I might come back someday and they care about maintaining a good relationship. I figured Gareth cares about his customers, not to mention he will probably take pity on someone who just lost 1/3 of his portfolio on his terrible call.. but NOPE! They arrogantly refused to refund, citing terms and conditions no less. Now let's think about this. If Gareth is such a successful trader, why is he so desperate for that $400 subscription fee that he will burn a bridge with a customer like that? Because that's how he REALLY makes his money, that's why. And because that's how you act when you know you don't really have a valuable, sustainable service, and you need to squeeze every last dollar you can before the music stops. This caused me to look into it more and find that Gareth is not really a successful trader, he is just faking it til he makes it while making his real money selling "advice". He loses people money on one of these subscription programs and then cancels it, only to start another one just like it in order to wipe the slate clean and start over, luring in unsuspecting traders who don't know his history. Everyone makes a bad call sometimes, but being dishonest about your performance makes you a scammer. Even if this guy were a good trader, do you really want to do business with someone who has such ruthless contempt for his own paying customers? I don't. Stay far away.

Luckily I stopped mirroring Gareth's trades pretty quickly, upon realizing how flawed his approach has become. But I kept watching his portfolio in horror. He is a contrarian swing trader, going heavily against the grain (lots of shorting things that are breaking out, with no stops). The trouble is he cannot accept when he's wrong and will double and triple down on losing positions. He recently took a $300k loss on SOXS in a million dollar account. So he blew a third of his account by holding a 3x leveraged contrarian play against the hottest sector of the year. He still has a SOXL short also (why short SOXL? Odd amateur move when you could go long on SOXS) that is down 61%, $-106,000 as of today (6/3/26). So it will be over $400k he's lost shorting the semis, if he were to also cover this short today. He also heavily goes long on things that are dying, with no clear stops, and just doubles and triples down as the knives fall more. Even a mid-level trader should know that 3x leveraged (especially inverse ones) should never be held long term for huge losses. These are VERY short term tools that should have tight stops. They also decay. Look at a long-term chart of things like SQQQ, SOXS, etc. They are not long-term investments. I assume he's had some success in past years by simply doing the opposite of the market and then waiting for turnarounds. Hopefully he has learned from this year's disaster and won't blow up more people's accounts alongside his in the future. If there is a business left after this year. I can only imagine how upset someone would be if they had a big account too and had just been mirroring him. Thank God I caught on quickly and just pivoted to watching this train wreck unfold. They say great traders "don't predict, they react". Gareth does the opposite. Predicts, stubbornly holds to his predictions, and has no idea how to react properly to losses. Gareth's current live open portfolio is in the red $-445,990 more right now (6/3/26) on top of the huge SOXS loss already taken. Now let's wait and see Verified Investing respond to this saying they somehow "respectfully disagree" with the cold hard facts here.

Having subscribed to the Swing Trader service in 2025 and 2026, I have to say that Gareth Soloway's "risk taking" is destroying value faster than he can post youtube videos to the contrary. What got me attracted to the service was the "transparency" and "track record" of - what I assumed were - all of their closed trades published across their services. Very high returns and an average win rate of 90% or so, whether it was swing or commodities. Once subscribed, you can see the reason for this - they leave out-of-the-money trades open in perpetuity regardless of what these positions, if you actually followed them, would to your margin account. Nvidia short is open from 2023. His "hard asset advantage" service was closed end of 2025 with Silver short being closed at -88%. He deleted this from the website - so no, not all closed trades are posted. If you followed those trades, to which Gareth no longer provides commentary on since they are not part of his newly launched 2026 portfolio, you'd have blown up your account. For his 2026 portfolio, at least, there is no more hiding as all positions - open or closed - are reflected in their real time P&L. He is down 35% for the year with negative buying power. Funny, how transparency into his "real" trading account can reveal what you actually get here. He claims to have mastered technical analysis but shorts into uptrends numerous times saying that "the top is in, the top is in..." - only to add again the same day. Good luck.

Garrett cares about people and wants to help them achieve financial success, but he ends up putting them into risky trades and isn't forthcoming about when they go bad. He doesn't sell most of his bad trades in his service, so they don't go on record. There are losing trades going back to 2023. That is deceitful. The comments are off or deleted so the truth is hidden. I think he is a good trader, and a smart caring man, but his system is very flawed and set up to make people lose a lot of money while paying a subscription fee for his advice. Double loss! I had this service for many months, and there were months that I made money, but overall, I lost a lot with all of the shorts.

Hello everyone! As a mid-level trader, I just wanted to live through the experience of day trading with professional people as they are. First of all, I think Gareth Soloway and his crew at verifiedinvesting.com are a group of good professionals, but there are a few things they could improve at their platform... 1) They just gather and 'vomit' their day trading plan only around 5 minutes prior to the openening of the markets. In my opinion, anyone would need a bit more time to prepare and organize properly his/her day trading session. 2) Gareth is great, but he goes usually too early when it comes to short any given asset. 3) Especially during the day trading sessions (but not only) often times they will provide you with an entry level/s, but rarely point out which are the level/s to exit. 4) They are selling basic stuff courses at pretty high prices. To me, these people look quite insatiable for money, trying to monetize on anything and everything. Be careful!!! 5) I bought my first Monthly Elite subscription on April 20th, which was automatically renewed on May 20th. This is not properly advertised when you buy the subscription -it is only stated in the Terms and Conditions-, as usual... On that very same day, I contacted the e-mail for "support" to tell them if it is possible a refund of the subscription -I had forgotten to cancel it, but realized of it on that same day of May, 20th-. However, they refused to make a reimbursement of that month of subscription -which happens to be now, during May/June 2026-, even when I told them I want to cancel the service, as I wasn't planning to use it anymore. But even if this is a legal situation for them, this looks to me very fishy, more like a "vulture behaviour", rather than a serious enterprise. I hope you can all benefit from my experience/insight with them. Good luck!

I submitted a five-star review here on March 11th titled "Vastly exceeding expectations" due to my great results after my first 2 months of trading with Verified Investing. I just deleted that review because things turn south shortly after I wrote it. Fortunately, I did not take part in their recent 3X shorts of the semi's, Nasdaq, etc. because even as an average trader I thought those shorts made no sense. They repeatedly added to their losing positions, and evidently had no stops (for example, their positions in SOXS were down 64% at one point). A few days ago, they finally exited four of these positions with massive losses. In addition, as of today their many open positions have very large unrealized losses. Overall, I agree with many reviews here, especially the following: Professional Team, But the Trading Results not acceptable (May 14) Valuable Long-side Analysis, But Be Very Careful with Shorts and Margin (May 8) Great Insights but don't short! (May 1) Beware of huge drawdowns (updated May 8) For the several months I used this service, I was $42K positive, but, sadly, I don't trust them anymore. If using their service, I would suggest setting your own stops, and being very wary of shorting stocks and ETFs when they are going up.

The Verified Investing app is very well designed, and the way the team shares trades during the live sessions is very transparent, both for day trading and swing trading. The team is active, professional, and consistently provides daily videos and market updates, which I appreciated. However, after using the service for several months, I struggled to see how the strategy could be consistently profitable over time. In my experience, some very large losing positions were held for far too long without proper risk management. For example, the day trade on ticker TME has been held for months and is currently down over $193K (around 19%). On the swing trading side, I watched an account grow roughly 35% over four months, only to lose all of its gains and fall approximately 32% in just 5 to 6 weeks. One major issue, in my opinion, was aggressively shorting semiconductors through SOXS during a strong semiconductor rally. I’m personally very grateful that my wife encouraged me to step away from the strategy before experiencing the full downturn myself. Overall, I think the platform, the educational content, and the team interaction are excellent. The staff clearly works hard and constantly updates their concepts and market analysis. Unfortunately, despite the strong presentation and transparency, the trading performance and risk management did not give me enough confidence to continue paying for the subscription.

I was a member of the Live Day Trading Room and Verified Investing Alerts for several years before ending my membership around a year ago. Since some time has passed, I wanted to leave a more balanced review based on my overall experience. Let it be a warning for others who may consider this HIGH risk investing service. To be fair, I did make money on certain trades while I was a member, especially earlier on, and I learned useful trading concepts that helped me improve my understanding of the markets. That said, the main reason I eventually left was because the swing trading strategy no longer matched my risk tolerance or investing goals. Toward the end of my membership, many of the swing trades I followed were heavily focused on short positions in semis during one of the strongest rallies in HISTORY. In my personal experience, several of these positions became deeply negative and often relied on averaging down (DCA) as the trades moved further against the trend. I personally lost around $100,000 following a number of these trades before ultimately deciding to cut my losses and move on. A significant portion of the losses came from inverse semiconductor positions and related trades involving 3x highly decaying products such as SOXS during the continued rally in names like NVDA. While that strategy may work in some market conditions, it created more downside risk than I was comfortable with, especially when fighting a strong market trend for an extended period of time. It is, in my opinion, not responsible - especially for investing/trading newbies. I also felt the service became less focused over time as the business expanded into additional projects, social media activity, and other ventures. In the live trading room, there were comments about limited time and availability, and I personally noticed less consistency compared to when I first joined. Overall, I do not believe the service was a good fit for my style of investing, especially for swing trading. However, active short-term traders or people with a higher risk tolerance may have a different experience than I did. Good luck, you'll need it.
