Don’t recommend only very few few people that know in trading . And two guys that gave alerts made their own discord. Owner of this discord just copy paste doesn’t know much much . Avoid.

IWM Alerts Lifetime $997- lasted 6 months. No refund!

I signed up for IWM ALERTS Lifetime service and paid $997. 6 months later after I signed up, they cancelled the service and offered me no refund. I did a Visa Charge back and Visa agreed that this was wrong. I won the dispute. I will never sign up for any other service with these people and this company. I trusted them and should not have. Btw- I am not alone. Others are still trying to get their refunds as they have messaged me. I had a civilized discussion about it in their discord channel and they booted me when I posted I did a Visa Charge Back. This is not how a company should treat their clients. I am very disappointed and went in thinking I would be with them for years and it last just 6 months when they ended their service.

Best bang for the buck

I've been trading with these guys for a few weeks now. It's a great community and they're very helpful. One thing i appreciate is that it is easy to filter out the noise and get just the info you want. I cover the monthly fees easily w/ one trade. Over all my account is up about 15% in three weeks. And this is while trading at work w/o my full attention. I can't wait to take some time off work and see what i can make happen!

Helpful, honest, friendly community

Best community I've ever been apart of! After joining Russell's discord, I have learned a lot about trading, the style of trading that I like, and have a great community to ask questions to. Everyone is friendly and down to earth and it makes it such a nice environment. Trading can be stressful, but the tools you will learn here can help you make better decisions.

Amazing group with great teachers

Amazing group with great teachers. The group really focuses on education and really helps answer questions to further your education. Some people only want to follow alerts which is great also but having alerts and having an explanation to the alert is so beneficial to your journey as a trader.

Its like an extended family!

Marian, Russell, Mizhele, and all of the other Admins running this site are legit! They are not making fake promises to "get rich quick" or any of that. Its a collection of truly honest and professional people\traders helping each other in any way possible to get everyone to the same goal. To profit from trading stocks\options, or whatever you fancy in relation to the market. They provide access to educational resources and even offer 1 on 1 sessions to help new users find their way around. I have been a member for almost a year now, and have been trading for about 18 months. Being a part of this group has increased my knowledge and understanding of trading 100 times over! Just having easy access to like minded people sharing the same goals is a big help when you start on your own in this crazy game of trading. Everyone really seems to actually care about one another and we are like a family. The discord is filled with tons of cannels providing something for everyone from the beginner stock trader to the advance options traders. With just a little bit of fine tuning you can filter the channels to your liking and focus on what works best for you and the sky is the limit!

It's a great service to be part of

It's a great service to be part of. This is the first discord I have ever joined and happy to have made that decision. The admins are super helpful and respond to any queries within no time. It does include many alert services (infact more than you could ask for). Definitely worth the amount spent for the subscription. Only thing is, you might feel little overwhelmed in the beginning but once you get a hold of it, there's no looking back 🙂

100% Recommended. It works!

For a long time I believed that earning money by trading was impossible. Until I met Russell Barbour and his Discord group and realized that everybody can earn money by trading.It is real and tangible. It is an excellent community where we help each other and where great traders share their knowledge. You earn money as well as you lose, but the end result is positive. I recommend it 100%

The moderators are truly great people

The moderators are truly great people. I have either messaged or talked to most of them personally. They also have a great track record trading. Do they win every trade??? Well of course not, nor do they claim that. Then there are the other members in the group who are great people and willing to help out. Sometimes you make other connections within the group.

Transparent, something for everyone

Great service with many options and trustworthy providers. They helped me find a style that best suited me, get the right education and select the best alerts based on my goals. I’m doing so well now that I found them!
