Phone meeting to discuss subscribing

I’ve subscribed to many market trading services in the past, including Market Traders a few years ago. However, I was unable to put the service to use due to unforeseen life events, and I never requested a refund. Nevertheless, they offered me a sizable discount to their premiere package (basically the full amount I paid then) when they saw that I am a legacy customer, and the rep took the time to become acquainted with my trading goals and experience. I was made to feel like a person, not just another account to be placed on the rolls of the business. The business pitch was compelling, the products included in the package valuable, and payments and financing were beyond accommodating. I have come to the point in my life in which I must sleep a few days on decisions that carry a financial commitment, and I felt that this wish was met with respect and understanding. I am sure that it will only be a matter of time before I rejoin Market Traders.

Very misleading

Very misleading, you own nothing when trading with them . Meaning if you use their software you must continually repay them to use it you will never own it. If you have a small trading account they will drain it. Even if all the followed trades are winning trades. I was told all of my bots will set up properly but yet none of them ever won any trades. And they will following MTIs trades. They are very sneaky and not straightforward at all whatsoever. The money back guarantee is bull crap also. I did everything I was supposed to and never received my refund. Since the original owner has passed away the company has gone to complete crap in my opinion.

Hi Raymond,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all reviews seriously, but we would like to clarify a few factual inaccuracies regarding how our program operates for the benefit of anyone reading this.

Software & Subscriptions: Our program is clearly outlined during the sales process as a hybrid model. It includes lifetime access to our comprehensive Online University (featuring over 20 hours of video strategies and PDF documentation), alongside an annual SaaS subscription for ongoing software access, which the first 12 months are included with your purchase.

Account Access: To be absolutely clear, we do not have access to your personal trading account, nor do we manage your funds. All trading decisions and account management remain entirely in the hands of the individual user, therefore we could not have drained your account.

Our Satisfaction Guarantee: We stand firmly behind our guarantee, which is clearly detailed in the Education Order Form signed at purchase. Because we are fully invested in our clients' success, the guarantee does require active engagement with the tools and training. In your case, minimal effort was put into the program, which to your own admission was due to your heavy work schedule, and your request was made months after the guarantee period had already expired. Despite this, our team spent a considerable amount of time proactively reaching out and offering direct support over the last 15 months to help you succeed, but those resources were unfortunately not utilized.

Our Leadership: While it is true our original founder passed away several years ago, our current CEO has been successfully leading the organization since 2007. Our core mission, "To create successful Traders through tools knowledge and empowerment" have remained steadfast.

We always aim to support our clients, but successful trading does require active participation and engagement with the tools and materials included with our program. We wish you the best in your future trading endeavors. You are still a client of ours and we remain committed to your success. When you are ready, we will be here and will continue to support you.

I am currently a student at Market Traders Institute and my experience has been very positive. The education is structured, practical, and easy to follow even if you are new to trading. The instructors explain forex trading in a clear way, especially risk management, strategy development, and how to apply everything in real market conditions.

What I appreciate most is the hands-on support. They don’t just teach theory—they also help with real setup like MT4, VPS connection, and getting trading platforms ready for live or demo trading. Whenever I had questions, I was able to get guidance and move forward step by step.

Overall, this program has helped me build real confidence and understanding in trading. I feel I am learning a professional skill with proper structure instead of guessing or gambling in the market. I would recommend Market Traders Institute to anyone serious about learning forex trading the right way.

Buyer beware

Market Traders Institute offers an expensive set of classes to learn to trade currencies. I think the focus is to get people who don't understand risk to believe they can get rich quickly using the leverage of Forex (short for Foreign Exchange, or simply FX)
Once you're in, they bombard you with tons of high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy other courses, saying, "If you only spend this much more, you'll be even better at trading currencies.”

They also have a product you can sign up for where one of their analysts will make buy and sell recommendations for currencies. I found this problematic and lost quite a bit of money following their recommendations.

It was clear they prey on people with very little to invest, while simultaneously downplaying the risk.

I've traded stocks for nearly 50 years and options for over ten. Although I mastered their courses, I found that Forex, so highly leveraged, is too risky for most people. Let's not focus on that. Only say if you keep at it, you'll get better and be profitable.
Between their program and their Signal Shadow Pro Trading Service, I lost over $25,000.

I paid $2495 for their trading course, another $2,000 for their 360ProTrading Circle and Matrix tool, and another $995 for their Signal Shadow Pro Trading Service recommendations, which was a recurring annual payment.

If you're considering MTI, be careful, especially if you're not a sophisticated trader. I had extensive experience and still found it difficult to be profitable, even with their tools and recommendations.

Their programs consistently focus on making it look too easy. More than once during Webinar trading sessions, when I questioned the need for better risk management, I was kicked out of the webinar.

Clearly, this is buyer beware.

Hi Michael, while we do promote the opportunities in the market to compound wins and see gain without the need for significant capital, we don’t push “get rich quick” or you can get rich quickly with our presentations. In our courses we heavily instruct on Equity, Risk, and Profit Management. With our Signal Shadow Pro strategy, we heavily taught in sessions that traders should NOT risk more than 40% of their account at any given time and provided calculations to ensure they were not over leveraged. We did not lock the ability to go higher, because traders are in charge of their accounts and their risk. The strategy at times indeed had some drawdowns and longer than desired hold times. For many traders, although it wasn't desired to experience them, they did not lose money, rather the trades sat in a draw down, which is different than closed position losses.

We can’t substantiate claims of being removed any webinar presentations. We do value our clients feedback and our practice is to only remove disruptive participates after repeated warnings. If your question was not answered, each student has unlimited one on one support with easy ways to communicate with your Client Experience team that include, telephone calls, formal appointments, online ticket system and email support.

Since we cannot fully identify you with the name given in this review, we kindly ask that you email us so we can continue the conversation and do everything we can to ensure you get back on track with your trading goals. Thank you.

MTI Seems Underfunded

Being asked to work for 30+ days without pay is not normal, however that is exactly what was expected of me and co-workers at MTI. The company offers good education and innovative products, however it is all for naught if they can't service clients properly because of disgruntled and unpaid staff issues. They need to resolve this problem asap.

Dear B.E.
It's unfortunate to read this review. For proper context and clarification, you were employed by a third party company who was responsible for our relationship, to include pay. Unfortunately that relationship ended in a dispute. We do appreciate the work you did for our company during this short stint. Throughout our relationship, the payment terms were with your employer and during the time you supported our clients, we never had a relationship where we directly employed you or directly paid you. Our relationship with your employer indeed came to and end and that is unfortunate.

MTI ..

Name: Former MTI Rep

After initially being employed with MTI, the prospects were positive. Initial pay was on time although training was rushed and incomplete. By the 2nd month, my salary stopped completely but I was still expected to work and 'clock in' by a specific time. It seems that around November 2025 MTI ran into some type of serious trouble. Employees and clients beware.

MTI Owes My Company Money

MTI contracted my firm in the fall of 2025 for client support. We were paid for 1 month and then communication with the owners went silent. Out of good faith we kept the support going during Christmas time and have been paid 10% of what is owed to us.

We have tried to contact the owners on multiple occasions and are simply met with excuses and delays.

What is most painful is that our staff were expecting to be paid for holidays and as of today have been only paid a fraction of what they are owed.

Beware of the Robot claims

I have done three courses, over many years, with MTI The Chief Jared (RIP) and have not had the success I should have ,due to my own failings I might add,so I decided to go the EA/Robot route, a set and forget system with no emotional input or objective/subjective involvement!.
MTI were promoting Perfect Storm Pro Robot, based on the fantastic profits they were showing on FXbook. 100% over 14 months, if I recall.
Unfortunately they do not point out that this profit does not take into account the trades in negative territory. The robot trades without stops. It also transpires that these 'results' are dependent on trading platform as price feeds vary. They suggested I open an account with EightCap.(That is another story!)
Bottom line 6 months down the line, I am no longer trading live on the Robot but trying to assess how best to monitor its decisions to enter trades so I can override if a loss gets too high.
The FX chief said never trade without a stop loss.
I must say their support ,specifically Mike Gillis, was very good helping me iron out some queries.
They also continued to try to get me to purchase more materials via their webinars until I had to resort to expressing my frustration in the chat room. They stop sending me mails then!
They continue to report a positive performance profit $6214 on fxbook but take a look at the equity and that is now less than the original deposit of $5000 at $3943
Perfect Storm Pro is not a set and forget Robot.

Hi Michael,

While automation is relatively hands off, it is never “set and forget.” It is more of a “set and manage” based on your account size and risk appetite.

Perfect Storm Pro from November 25, 2024 shows a 127% Growth with a Drawdown of 66.16%. That was after the $5,000 account was taken down to $2,500 due to an error during a broker transfer via an acquisition between the brokers, which we had no control. There are currently 3 pairs that have been holding draw down for close to 6 months to a year. We have outlined pairs that have lower hold times and haven’t hit the drawdowns we are currently seeing. However that does not stop the daily trading and continued daily, weekly closed position gains, as evidenced on the Myfxbook 3rd party verified track record. Also, the Perfect Storm Pro does not use a set Stop Loss, but does have a Trailing Stop Loss that triggers on certain parameters (this was set up for the tracking and we have stated if traders are uncomfortable with this method, they are able to add a stop loss deep enough for the strategy to work and move, but also not overtly risk for that specific traders equity management plan.
There are other strategies that are more conservative even with Perfect Storm Pro (Active Storm Pro does use a real, static Stop Loss), and Trend Splitter Pro is another strong performer in the market.

Truly a scam operation

Truly a scam operation. They teach ultra basics and then it is ALL ABOUT selling automated trading platforms that seriously underperform at best. Training support is pathetic. Massive disappointment despite months and months of study and zero winning. Don't walk, run from these guys.
