reviews and complaints

I've been a member of InTheMoneyStocks since March 2017 and I have to say, these guys seem like they know what they're doing when it comes to trading. However, there are a couple of things that have me a bit concerned. Firstly, they don't always report all of their big losing trades. For example, a few months ago they took a big 50% loss in DRYS, but they didn't update it in their 'closing trades' section. I reached out to them to let them know, and they said they would update it. But it's been 2 months now and it's still not updated. When I emailed them about it again, they didn't respond. That's not a good sign.

Secondly, Gareth states what the stop price is when entering each trade, but then he seems to totally ignore it. This has led to some big losses for him. I think he's just hoping that the trade will bounce back, but when it doesn't, they conveniently don't list it on their closing trades page. Has anyone else noticed this?

Despite these concerns, I do think that InTheMoneyStocks has some valuable insights and strategies when it comes to trading. They seem to have a good track record overall, and I've made some profits following their recommendations. However, I do think they need to be more transparent about their losing trades and stick to their stop prices. It's important for traders to have all the information they need to make informed decisions, and I hope that InTheMoneyStocks will take this feedback into consideration.

This website, InTheMoneyStocks, is run by two traders, Nick and Gareth. They offer two different fee schedules: a chat room and a research center for swing trades. I have to agree with the other reviews here that Nick is honest and real, while Gareth is full of himself and hype. Nick is cautious, while Gareth is teflon and never owns up to a bad trade.

It's interesting to think about how one would sell a trader's site. The only way to do it is to talk the talk, brag, and make people feel like they're missing out. Gareth does this 24/7. However, as the other reviews indicate, they miss a lot of calls and make their fair share of bad trades.

Despite this, I do agree that if you pay attention, you can learn how to trade using their method, and it works. I have personally learned from their research center and would recommend it for a limited time to learn the method, then cancel and trade on your own.

Overall, InTheMoneyStocks has its pros and cons. Nick is the more reliable trader, while Gareth is all about the hype. However, if you're willing to learn and pay attention, their method can work for you.

I gotta say, I was with InTheMoneyStocks for a whole year and I gotta agree with all the haters out there. My portfolio didn't see any positive gains and I'm pretty disappointed. These guys are all about trying to pick levels and going against the trend, which doesn't always work out. They use these huge stops that don't make any sense and they only take off trades for small gains. But when they do lose, they ride it all the way down to the bottom and then some.

They claim to have a 90% success rate, but that's a total lie. I'd say it's more like 50% at best. And they're always hiding their losses all over the place. I mean, they've been sitting in SDS, QID, DAL short, NEWL, and a bunch of other trades since November of '13! That's like, what, almost 8 years now? And with just those trades alone, your portfolio would be down over 30%.

And don't even get me started on their recent attempts to pick bottoms in Aug. and Sept. in SLV, GLD, and USO. Those were all big losers for them.

Now, I know there are some positive reviews out there, but those are probably from newer members who haven't been burned yet. So, if you're thinking about joining InTheMoneyStocks, I'd say think twice and take my advice.

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with InTheMoneyStocks. These guys are supposed to be experts, but they're really just snake oil salesmen. I mean, just look at their results page - it's a mess. They claim to have closed all these trades, but a lot of them aren't even part of their alerts service. They just cherry pick winners from discussions they may or may not have had during the day. It's a total scam.

And don't even get me started on their current positions list. They claim to give you all their current positions, but that's just not true. They leave out a ton of old open positions that are huge losers. When I asked about it, they just told me to focus on positions going forward. What kind of BS is that? Anyone can make huge returns if they never close losers and never report these open losers to new members. It's just greasy.

Overall, I'd say stay away from these guys. They're a huge disappointment and not worth your time or money.

Info is accurate on site, but things are left out. DISCA, RCON, IQ, CHGG are day trades turned into investments, since they have long passed the time frame for a swing. This is misleading to those signing up to the service for the first time. Those trades are missing from the site and the accumulated losses are quite massive with DISCA already costing Gareth over 50 K of his account.

This is the place where you will loose all your money. Pathological Liars! Especially Gareth. He plays with with endless cash compared to everyone. Do not be fooled by the winning numbers on their website. It only shows the successful trades. Few bad trades (as they happen often) are enough to destroy your account. They turn the bad day trades into swings and never say a word about them until eventually they pop or not. Realistically Gareth plays with few millions and when you looks at the total year winnings it comes to barely 30-40%. Totally not worth the stress, time and subscriptions fees of $299 per month. They are clever foxes. Their money comes from their subscribers... 25000 subscribers claimed x $299 comes to around $7.500.000 per year. And the worst part is their trading is absolute joke. Many trades involved risking half a million in order to win $60... $100 or few hundred dollars... Totally not worth the risk and stress. You will age drastically and loose your money until you understand what is going on. AVOID. Majority if not all reviews around the net are FAKE... guaranteed.

He shows / declares / talks only his profit making trades.
All his huge losses on multiple trades are hidden and not mentioned.
He never cuts losses.
I suffered a painful draw down and said goodbye to his services after 6 months … now recovering.
Hope this review helps you,

Very poor timing of entries. Huge drawdowns of 20%-40%. Holding huge losses for long periods of time with no recovery. My own personal day trading is keeping my account even. His trades are pulling my account down every day and I struggle to break even. Trying to sell of his losses slowly and get back to my trading style. Some of his trades are very good so I must give him credit for that.

Don’t think that the company www.inthemoneystocks.com is great and helpful. I invested money and after their speeches, I thought that I would get money. But I lost everything and when I tried to get any comments from the reps, they started to avoid me. It wasn’t professional from their side, but it was strange that they started to ignore me. I don’t think that they were honest with me and therefore I want to warn about this website.

I decided to try my hand at the trading and invested money on the website www.inthemoneystocks.com. I followed their trades and invested more and more, but in result I wasted money and got nothing from them. No money, no experience, nothing. The website isn’t suitable for people, who don’t understand economics and trading. They simply steal from you. So share this info in order to warn other people. Thanks.

Heyyyyy folks, nothing here but Monday Morning Quarterbacking and ego, move along. Where do I start with this mess of a site? Plain and simple, these guys are trying to sell you hype, they have big egos, and they ARE NOT even good at trading. They have minions who are incentivized to do damage control, so beware of positive reviews or people who try to argue with bad reviews. They self-moderate youtube comments (users JaredPagano Pauliewalnutz etc. are fake accounts to help pump). The ITMS guys were serial spammers back in the day and you can find relics of their shenanigans on real sites like iBankCoin and elitetrader. The review board at Investimonials for ITMS was taken down when moderators wised up to this. There’s a lot of skullduggery going on, so don’t fall victim to what appears to be a legitimate site at first glance.

On to the site. Gareth has an agitating voice and is full of himself. He is gifted with hindsight genius and a master of obscurity. “The market will either go up, but it can also go down, hence I am right, and will brag ad nauseum when it does” – you get the picture. “Proprietary methods” are just fib levels or simple support and resistance lines. The chat room is full of rank amateurs and Gareth’s track record is not even close to what he claims. You will never see any audited results, because they probably don’t trade real money, just milk it out of people who are eager to learn trading. When I say milk, its an understatement. They charged a group of unfortunate people $5k/pop to come to their Florida office and endure a 1 week Monday morning quarterback/ 20/20 hindsight egofest. Gareth claims to have been offered buy-outs from hedge funds to prevent the “proprietary methods” from going public – he’s a clown. They have no interest in helping traders, just taking their money. Don’t believe otherwise.

If you are like me, you were drawn to the site for its proclaimed “no hype” and the fact they are prevalent on Youtube searches for trading. In fact, all they offer is hype with no substance – vague calls and taking credit for trades they don’t do. I write this complaint because I was duped to the tune of $200 for this nonsense.

If you want a good laugh try out the 1-week trial, but be warned - your ears may bleed and you may vomit. If you pay the princely sum of $200/month, you’ll probably see another unpleasant video on youtube of Gareth’s well-fed Buddha-body in a hot tub bragging about how you were had.

In the daily recap video:
1) gareth will brag about trades that he did not make in the chatroom!
2) gareth will not take responsibility for bad trades that he called out in the chatroom.
Do not be scammed by gareth and the daily recap video.

I was with them for over 2 years, and was one of the first services I used when I was trying to learn this trade. Not knowing a whole lot at that time, I was immediately suckered into the "hype" of a "no-hype" pro trading service.

Looking back now, they have taught me many valuable lessons. That is, what a truly successful trader is NOT. I'm now able to distinguish snake oil salesmen quicker than than you can say "In The Money Stocks Dot Com".

In short, they make themselves look like a very legitimate service that is trying to teach a highly proprietary methodology known only to a select few. The reality is, it's just a very basic trading system put together with bits and pieces of very common technical trading ideas like moving averages, gap fills, Fibonacci retracements, pivot points, classical chart patterns (H&S, double bottoms etc..) and candle stick analysis. Of course, to give it their special touch, they throw in a very secret and proprietary "time count" system which is nothing more than an actual count of the number of bars you see. Voodoo trading? That's what you'll get here. All this for a cool 600 bucks to learn.

All right, my actual results with that. I tried both the professional chat room (200 bucks/mth) and their Research Centre (50/mth). Chat room was absolutely a joke, as most here already said. Gareth will take no responsibility for trades UNTIL they play out. Nick will make only 2 trading calls a MONTH. I did very poorly with them in terms of scalping. e..g making 35 cents on scalping a hundred dollar stock like GS... (it's a joke).

The swing trading aspect, Research Center, is half decent. 60^% of the trades actually do work well... but if you dig a little bit deeper, you'll notice very big flaws in their swing trades. Very wide stops, that absolutely do not seem to agree with that they preach during their trading Webinars. Why huge stops? Of course, keeps you in a bad trade longer in hopes that it'll turn out a winner.

In short, 20% actual technical analyais, 80% ego in there. Not worth your time and money...

Educationally this site has some merits as Nick Santiago is a good teacher although he is not aggressive enough in trading so the site offers few swing trades. Gareth Soloway comes across as a used car salesman. The site promotes "no hype" but he hypes more than any trader I have ever said. Recently he posted the worse day trade of all time, ROSG, which stopped out so quickly it was embarrassing. He touts 8 or 9 winners out of 10 for swing trading but the site does not keep this in one place so one has to guess; my guess it is 6 out of 10 which a monkey can do as well.
