Regarding my previous review

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I managed to fix the performance issue by reducing the number of bars on the chart on MT5. That's an acceptable workaround for me, however the performance of the software on MT4 is still not good.

Dec 22, 2023 - 1 Star The software behaves unbelievably poor. It causes MT5 to freeze, the scanner frequently just doesn't show up. When I launch my MT5 client it's really 50/50 whether it will load correctly or fail miserably.
I upgraded from MT4 to MT5 hoping they will fix the poor performance in MT5, but it seems to be even worse.

Nov 20, 2023 - 1 Star 1. MT4 software works pretty bad (version 4.5) because the software is coded badly (not a slow PC issues). It hangs on the first chart opened for good 15-20 seconds.. etc.
2. Tradeguider has v4.7 however it's not a free upgrade
3. Tradeguider DOESN'T update minor version WITHOUT paying pretty much the same sum as the original purchase!!!
4. Tradeguider DOESN'T have discounts on the upgrades!
5. Tradeguider has removed a significant amount of their learning material and converted it to paid packages!

Tradeguider Software

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
Firstly I am not in anyway connected with Tradeguider other than a long established customer, although I am still learning to trade as I run a busy company having had little time but am looking to trading for my retirement.

I have had training from many of the Tradeguider team and in fact one to one mentoring from Gavin Holmes and have been in front of my screen seeing him take LIVE successful trades and I have no doubt whatsoever that VSA and Tradeguider are the only real way to trade having spent thousands on different training over the years.

The reason I am not making money trading is I have not been able to allocate enough time to learn, practice and trade. Trading is a marathon not a sprint.

I know 4 people who have made a lot of money trading VSA but it takes time, the same as learning to drive.
There is no holy grail in trading, but if you are willing to put in the time which I am now in a position to do you can succeed.

As in driving if you rush to drive you will crash unless you take time and are cautious.

Nov 13, 2016 - 4 Stars Hi guys, firstly I am not connected with Tradeguider whatsoever other than I have their software.

If you look back on Youtube you will see many of Gavin Holmes predictions are accurate as you can check for yourself as they are dated before a move.
I have tried many systems but Tradeguider is the only genuine one I have found which is based on VSA. I know very successful traders who have not got the software but trade profitably.
I have seen Gavin's live screen a number of times showing profits on a live trade- you can't fake that!
I am not confident with VSA however I do use the software which is accurate once you know how to use it. I am still learning after some years as only do this part time but without doubt Tradeguider and Tom Williams(recently deceased) are the real deal. Check out Youtube and judge for yourself.

Apr 3, 2010 - No Rating I own TG end of days for stocks, not done much with it as concentrating now on Forex. I bought Realtime TG and use it every day for Forex. I use Forex500 clubs entry logic which is excellent and use TG for exits based on volume spikes which is extremely accurate, allowing me to get out right on the turns of a big movement. It is worth it just for that. I use one particular guy at TG for support and always get an answer the same day as I email him direct. As already said Tom Williams is the real deal and the software he invented works. Unfortunatly there is so much Junk out there nobody believes when something decent comes along!

A fresh perspective to explain the range in reviews

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
In reading through these reviews, I see a tremendous range of opinions on Tradeguider, which may not appear to make sense. In other words, how can one thing be both so good and so bad? I am in the unique position to provide clarity on this, as when I started using Tradeguider, I was convinced it didn't work; but now that I have truly learned how to use it, I know of no better system.

I have been trading for 2 decades, using many techniques along the way; trading socks, futures, options in most time frames. In 2016, a friend told me about Tradeguider; I attended a webinar in which Gavin Holmes correctly called the upcoming moves in Gold; and I soon bought Smart Center Pro, which was the top-of-the-line package at the time. I began using it immediately, but trade after trade failed, and I did not understand why. So, I did something smart: I stopped trading with it and spent time learning how to use it through the educational resources and ongoing webinars. I figured out that I had been placing trades based on indicators that were in the "wrong place" and that was why they were failing. To his credit, Gavin Holmes, in all of his webinars, emphasizes that the indicators are merely a signal in that they prompt the trader to look at the chart to decide whether there is a good risk/reward set-up. He further explains how each trade set-up must be (and can easily be) evaluated by the trader quickly to determine its veracity. When properly evaluated and understood (which takes time to learn - but which once learned is a very simple and fast process), the system works extremely well. Further, when used properly, the trading system enables traders to enter in the sweet spot of a trade: when an impending move is about to occur; when the reward is good, and when the risk is low (stop is close).

When I read the negative reviews below, they all aligned with my own early (immature) understanding of Tradeguider's methodology, which explains why these negative reviews exist. If these traders had only committed to learning how to use the system in the way it was designed, they would have by now realized that it is the golden goose, not the rotten egg that they assert it to be. But it is their loss, as this golden goose is real and is available to any trader who is willing to put in the time and effort to learn how to use it.

I waste time and money. Perdida de tiempo y dinero

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Indicators give bad signals so you lost money. The sistem is as dificult as trading dosent simplificates or improve nothing. You will lose time learning something that dosent work. Its offered as simply as acurate and its not.
Los indicadores dan malas señales entonces pierdes dinero. El sistema es tan difícil como el tradin no simplifica nada. Perderás tiempo aprendiendo algo que no funciona. Venden un sistema sencillo y eficaz y no cumple ninguna de las dos expectativas

VSA is a price action software based on volume. The price action analysis is good IF you can find support and resistance which the software cannot do. For example in a down trend you will see numerous selling climaxes(false signals) and eventually after several waves down gets one to finally work. Have one of their representives go over before paying and you can verify this. If you look though their videos they will focus on the signals that work. They will try to explain it away that it is not with the moving average trend indicator, which seems odd if it truly gives good signals. Software uses a moving average to find the trend which is fine but hardly worth paying for as it is free on all charting software.

A good question is if the software identifies all these money making signals is how much of the company revenue comes from trading as opposed to sales? I do not know for sure but sign up for their emailing list and look at all the emails you recieve. They seem to be good email marketers as they know how to tell a story.

Verdict: software has way too many false signals to be useful.

I bought their VSA plug-in package with reservations because of all the negative reviews on here. First of all I think its a great product and if you notice almost all of the bad reviews are from 2+ years ago. I had to talk to customer support to fix an issue with the plugins and they got back to me within hours, even though it was the day after New Years. A J worked with me for almost 2 hours to get the system up and running on my computer and was very helpful. The problem was on my end btw, I hadn't updated my computer in years. If your interested in their software and have reservations like I did about support, I think you have nothing to worry about anymore, they really have their act together. As a disclaimer, I wasn't asked or prompted to put up this review, nor was I given a discount.

. If buyers expect to learn the Wyckoff method of trading by buying the VSA Software, just forget about it, they take advantage, lie, and profit from this false publicity, the method they sell is just a fake created by Tom Williams and sell by Gavin Holmes the actual owner, who is a layer and false trader.
. If you think that you will learn how the markets work, by reading the bars or candles, what you will learn is the interpretation of Tom Williams of the market, and if you ask you will have the the same tedious answer from Tom...THE MARKET IS DEVIOUS AND DANGEROUS YOU MUST LEARN TO READ THE MARKET AND WHEN YOU ASK HIM TO TEACH YOU HE WILL SAY TO PRACTICE........HE DOESN'T KNOW
. In order to have a resemblance of success you have to buy all of their products, for an incredible price, when most of those tools are available on the market for free.
. Gavin Holmes doesn't respect his engagement concerning the software, no updates have been made to correct errors and wrongly interpretations of the market moves.

THIS JUST A FIASCO.......Learn WYCKOFF for almost free in the market

The principles the software is based on are sound and make sense. The problem is they make promises and then don't deliver on them once they have your money. In December 2009, they promoted the release of TG4 RT and said, if you upgrade we will make improvements over the next 12 months such as adding other data vendors and a scan tool. Since that time they have made those changes and sold to new customers as plugins to Sierra, Ninja, MT4 etc., but they have not made it available to those they fooled into upgrading 4 years ago. When asked about it they say "We are working on it". If you decide to do business with this company, don't expect them to deliver on promises they make.

I own the Tradeguider EOD version but never use it because it is way to clunky. I also wasted $1000 on a Tradeguider VSA trading course. Please don't waste your money on any of the Tradeguider stuff it's all way to expensive. There is plenty of free VSA stuff online.

I joined TradeGuider due to hype about supply and demand and volume spread analysis. It sounded reasonable and had a live trade room. First they disagreed with what was included in my package. I asked for a refund. Lauren stated that Gavin Holmes stated there was no refund, but would include the package I had expected. During the free sessions, in the "trading room" Steve Phillips claimed there would be plenty of trades, up to 4 or 5 a day, although some days there would be none. After two weeks, he traded 2 scalp trades. The room is open 22 hrs a day with live commentary during early UK and and US sessions. You sit in front of the computer for hours with Steve droning on and on, with no trades and when a trade is imminent, it gets cancelled because he doesn't like it. If you were to work out an hourly wage trading with these folks, you would be better off flipping hamburgers. I am out $400 with no refund, no trades and a lot of lost valuable time. If anyone wants my log-in, they can have it.
