I just had a training day with Scruff in Darlington. The day was packed with lots of information and I learnt more in the 1 day than I have for the last few years trying to figure out trading myself. I have a plan now that I am putting into practice and already I am seeing better results than my last 6 months.

I cant recommend him enough, Gary is down to earth and completely transparent. nothing is hidden and you can ask him any question you like, and get a full reply.

That not been my experience with any other trainer I have tried to learn from.

His videos on youtube are packed with real information and are a gold mine for anyone that takes the time to listen and put the work in , and all that is for free.

I know plan to work through all the learning I have received from the day and go on with the scruffy squad to continue my journey to full time trader with realistic goals and expectations.

Gary is the real deal you have been looking for, you wont be disappointed with any contact you have with his guidance.

Great place to learn trading

I had been trying to learn to trade for 5+ years on my own going through different Youtube videos and paid courses. Unfortunately I wasn't really getting anywhere.

After discovering Scruffy's Youtube channel, I joined his discord server to gain access to "way of the scruff". After going through this course and sharing my experience and questions on the discord server, I have finally started to become profitable (after three months in the scruffy discord). Keep in mind this is a process and you have to put the work in, to learn to respect the charts and trade them.

Scruffy will answer questions that you have, usually with a direct video response. There is also a community of other traders in the discord going through the same process and always happy to help you along.

You will learn how to mark up a chart, gain a sense of market direction and place trades with realistic take profit and stop loss levels. if you follow the training, remain disciplined and maintain realistic goals, you will be profitable.

Thanks Scruff.

I am not part of the Scruffy gang yet but i have been following Gary for a few years now, he is the reason why i am trading as well as i am.
Several years on a Demo account and lots of educating myself through his content on line as well as several email conversations of which there is always a reply.
Not just an Experienced Trader but a nice guy who tells it as it is-top man.

The APEX of Trading

This is the best investment course I've joined. Gary is very supportive and frank with everyone in the group and has been quick and ready to call out the gambling culture that some new members bring in who are looking for that quick buck - this is super useful as many other investment groups are not moderated at all.

He is ready and willing to break down any chart and has made a course so you can learn step-by-step. He also has a market call with the members of the group, although being on US time does not work out...yet I can catch up with the replay option. His markups are the whole enchilada - everything is reviewed.

There are a few gamblers in this group which has been the downside - Gary called these folks out and some have left kicking and screaming - do not let their bad reviews put you off. Most of the traders have a real sense of humor and Gary has his northern touch of humor and tells it like it is - super entertaining to follow even if I cannot understand all of the jokes - some get huffy about it but these schmucks are born losers with a capital L - I have seen none of them posting profits unlike the others members and sad to see they hate Gary's success. It is the victim mindset that is taking over the world.

If you are not willing to put the workload in then stay away but I suggest taking out the Rogue Plus membership and covering all its courses. All the modules have a point to them - simple and valuable for any beginner.

This is the real way to make money - fantastic modules on pyschology and money management are a game changer. My account has gone from flat progress to a max of 20% gain to making a 137% gain over the last 12 months. Gary has changed my whole outlook on investing.

The Discord group isn't the utopia made out in public

I joined the squad after watching Scruff's YT channel for a while and like what I saw and wanted to understand more about his style of trading.

Scruff is clearly a good trader and his 90%+ win rate confirms that which is something I've not heard anyone else in the trading arena demonstrate.

There's tons of material in the discord and Scruff does pump out a lot of members only content on a daily basis answering questions from the squad.

Unfortunately, I feel that Scruff has become a victim of his own success and it's clear from recent content and interactions in the discord that the public won't see, that his attitude towards people asking questions has become quite negative. There's been more than one example recently where newer members are patronised via video updates for their nerve to ask simple questions and desire to clarify things.

You'll frequently hear quotes of "you'll never make it. Quit now and get a job at McDonalds", "if you're after shortcuts or signals then f*** off"

What Scruff I feel fails to realise is that people come to the group from his YouTube and are of all skill levels and experience. If you're making something look easy in public don't be surprised if you get questions from people thinking there's a quick answer.

The frustrating thing is that the questions for the most part being asked are logical ones from people new to the concept of trading that Scruff takes an instant approach of "this person is signal hunter. Do one"

There's clearly a lot of useful info in the discord but my feeling is Scruff has been worn down and become more arrogant and narcissistic and ill equipped as a coach/trainer which is truly a shame unless you're part of the "inner circle" who beat the Scruffy drum blindly without question.

Where as I cannot please everyone , I do have a hard line on gambling and signal hunters , signal hunters will will find trading very hard and gamblers simply fail hence my often reference to get a job at macdonalds. Like most things you get out what you put in. Every question asked is answered very quick and sometimes being told flat that is chasing the market is not what wants to be heard. I show everything in a logical manor. All are welcome to talk to me so I disagree with the inner circle as there certainly not one. Sorry the group was not for you and hope you find what you for

Polishing a lump of charcoal into a Diamond

I came to the Squad after learning methods from other groups and I was hit and miss. Struggled to find consistency, what this group does from my own perspective is to take something I had and give it the well needed polish.
Gary's way of trading can be used to enhance any method and I promise you will see the charts with a new found clarity. Top bunch of people in the Squad and Gary goes way out of his way to help anyone who is struggling with anything. Gary is in the trenches every day and in all honesty its sometimes hard to keep up with all nuggets he imparts. I'd give more stars if I could, it's that simple.

It’s the T.I.T.S. – Terrific Insights, Top Strategies!

I've been a subscriber to The Scruffy Trader's channel for a year now, and it’s been a total game changer for my trading. Scruffy’s in-depth knowledge of the markets and his ability to teach strategies across different time frames has completely reshaped how I approach trading. What truly sets him apart from the flood of trading channels out there is the healthy, grounded community he’s built. There's none of that "Lambo-wannabe" nonsense that the industry is awash with—just real, down-to-earth traders focused on steady growth. Don’t expect to build Rome in a day. Do a year + of membership and things will start to click as you become more comfortable with the charts.

Scruffy is also incredibly approachable and transparent. He’s always available to answer questions in the group’s Traders' Clinic, ensuring every trader, no matter their experience, gets the guidance they need. Not only is Scruffy a top trader with a proven track record, but he’s also one of those rare, stand-up guys that you’re lucky to come across. He even meets up with the group whether that be in the UK or abroad.

The community isn't just a place to learn—it’s a place to form genuine friendships. If you do what you love, the money will follow. That’s been my experience under Scruffy's mentorship.

Scruffy is the real deal. I have done a few different courses and Scruffy's non nonsense, common sense approach is the best so far. He's a lovely guy to boot. I am very grateful for all the help which has already improved my trading in a short time!

I wish I'd discovered The Scruffy Trader years ago!

I've been a member of the group for two months and it has been a truly amazing experience.

Gary puts in tremendous effort each day to manage live Zoom sessions, answer questions and dm's, create and upload new YouTube videos and oversee a lively Discord channel all while actively participating in his own trading activities.

As previous reviewers have explained, he doesn't trade for you or provide a signal service. He is a kind and talented educator who will show you how to become a successful trader. However, you must be prepared to put in the time and effort to succeed.

Gary has brought together a group of traders with all different experience levels. There's always someone on hand to answer questions however basic.

Highly recommended wherever you are on your journey to becoming a successful trader, whether you are just starting out and learning the basics or if you are already an experienced trader looking to fine-tune your skills and join an amazing community.

An amazing trading community!

Been a member of this group for just under a month and the support you will receive from Gary (Scruff) and the rest of the community is unparalleled in the trading industry. The quantity and quality of content and tools available to members is outstanding. And so is the support that Gary gives on a personal basis. There are daily zoom calls and any question asked by members, either on these calls or on the Discord group, are followed up and answered personally by Gary. Often this will involve Gary creating a bespoke video covering the answer in great detail with real world and live examples.

If you are a beginner trader and looking for a sensible and scalable way of trading then this is the group for you. But be prepared. It will take time, there are no quick fixes with trading despite what the You Tube gurus and Signal Copy suppliers would have you believe.

If you are an existing trader or maybe someone that has been disappearing down the You Tube rabbit holes then you need to be prepared to forget most of what you have read or seen. Gary's methods unquestionably work but they are not a quick fix. And before criticising, pick any of the current crop of YT gurus and see how many actually trade LIVE, Gary does this daily both in the members group and on his YT channel. There are no cherry picked back testing strategies here - guaranteed.

And a final thought. If you do join you will only get out of it as much as you are prepared to put in. This is a learning environment not a signals service. Go though the "Way of the Scruff" course. Join the zoom calls. Ask questions. Engage in the forums. Gary doesn't want to see anyone fail but he can't do it for you. Becoming a successful trader is a journey that only you can take responsibility for.

Let's face facts if it was as easy as the vast majority of YT content makes out we would all be millionaires. Maybe one day Rodney!

Life is short, I'm grateful for meeting these rare values in the online world.

I'm a trader and youtuber too, I know how hard it is to keep being yourself within the industry full of snakes & people selling unrealistic dream.

I'm extremely grateful to know about Scruffy Trader. The only thing I hate is Youtube algo took that long to show his channel to me lol.

Being of risk taker and literally hurted myself so bad in trading, Scruffy shows me another side of the coin, his beliefs about small wins add up combine with his extreme consistency that I literally never seen anywhere online, none! This alone humbled myself to the ground and keep my head down, simply a wake up call for me. Size down, take it seriously or "F off".

If you're looking for strategy as majority of others are, I can't really recommend Scruff, but if you want something real, honest & meeting one of the kindest human being in this industry who show you nothing but true values, Scruff is the one.

"Way Of Scruff" videos and his daily market call slowly helped me to ground myself, remind me to think long term. I took a lot of inspirations from his way of trading & manage to work more on creating my own sheets, journal & manage my money flow.

I'm putting full focus to make it & hopefully one day, I can come and hug the guy in real life.

Life is short, I'm grateful for meeting these rare values in the online world.

A great mentor

I booked a 1-to-1 session with Gary and it was an amazing experience! Not only he spent way more time with me than I had anticipated but he also explained in simple terms all the things I wasn't sure about. Gary is one of those kind, genuine, and truly helpful mentors in the social media trading space. I highly recommend his YouTube channel and everything he offers to those willing to put in the time and energy to learn.
