I was part of Gates’ trading group about a year ago and had to step away due to work, but after rejoining recently, I’m reminded of why his community stands out. What I appreciate most about Gates isn’t just his ability as a trader, but who he is as a person before the charts. His emphasis on discipline, accountability, consistency, and emotional control resonates deeply with me, especially now that I’m able to show up more intentionally. Those values carry through everything he does, both in how he trades and how he leads his community. From a trading standpoint, his communication is top‑tier. The process is clear and structured: thoughtful pre‑market preparation, a well‑defined watchlist, and real‑time commentary through each trade he takes. He does a great job explaining the why behind decisions, not just calling out entries and exits. Even outside of specific trades, his high‑level market commentary helps frame the broader context so you’re not just reacting, but actually learning how to think. What really sets Gates apart is that he doesn’t try to be flashy or oversell results. The focus is on process over outcomes, long‑term sustainability, and protecting capital. It feels less like following a signal group and more like being guided by someone who genuinely wants his members to grow and become independent thinkers. Rejoining has felt less like “coming back to a Discord” and more like returning to an environment aligned with how I want to approach trading and life in general. If you’re looking for a trader who leads with integrity, communicates clearly, and prioritizes mindset as much as execution, Gates and his community are absolutely worth being a part of.

I’ve been trading for two years and consistently lost money. I joined Gate in November, but only became disciplined last month. What stands out most is his patience, clear explanations, and strong organization. I highly recommend him—100%

I’ve known Gates for five years, and he is hands-down, the real deal. I finally pulled the trigger on the lifetime membership 3 days ago and it has paid for itself X2 in just 2 trades. Gates is very underrated because he’s not flashing Lamborghinis or penthouses, but he offers something greater than that and that’s becoming a profitable trader!

i started learning from gates about 4 years ago and theres was alot i had to learn about myself. i bounced around a few different discords but ended up in alot of signal servers where i did not learn anything or know why i was taking trades. so after a couple of years of being in the red i returned to gates discord and stuck with it and it has been the best decision for my trading journey. still teaching alot of the same strategies i have found my discipline and emotions and the past year and a half have been the most profitable both financially and educationally. started the new challenge with him this year and got my account up close to 70% in the just the first quarter. if youre reading this still thinking about it i recommend you give it a real shot. he is a true mentor that cares about you getting better and becoming self sufficient! thanks gates!

One the best mentors in the East and West coast, he lays out and teaches you his plans every morning. Gates not only teaches you his trading plan but accountability and smart trade management. I’ve always been very risk adverse in my trades but was getting nowhere, just by watching gates trade these past few months I’ve grown my account consistently. Can’t recommend him enough for new traders that are searching for mentor.

I’ve being trading since 2017 and I had other mentors, the are all alright. I found Gates on instagram and tried the weekly program, and just after 2 weeks I changed to lifetime. His mentorship works! It’s the best for day trading and the area I wanted to get better, and boy, since I started with him I’m green almost 90% of the time. Yeah, some days are red, but mainly me being stubborn(😬) but is part of the game and if I can get my head to strictly focus and follow his teachings I should be 100% better. Gates; I have nothing more to thank you and say you are the best mentor I’ve worked with.

I can’t recommend Summit Trading highly enough. The mentorship has been a complete game-changer for me. Before joining, I was inconsistent and lacked a clear strategy—but that changed fast. The way everything is broken down makes complex concepts actually click. It’s not just theory either—you get practical, real-world guidance that you can apply immediately. The support, accountability, and depth of knowledge are on another level. Since working with Summit Trading, my confidence, discipline, and results have improved massively. I’ve seen genuine progress in my trading—something I struggled to achieve on my own for a long time. If you’re serious about leveling up and want mentorship that actually delivers, this is it.

This is absolutely the best experience I have had trading. Easy to follow system, detailed walk-through and rationale for all trades, willingness to answer questions and provide guidance. Would recommend 1000%%%%%%.

Just wanted to share my experience so far in this community. Holding everyone accountable and teaching discipline has greatly improved my confidence and execution 1 month in on my day trading journey. I don’t believe there is a better mentor. I’ve been “trading” (not really day trading) for a couple years, and I do believe joining this community has sharpened my skill greatly. No other place will you get the value from what he asks, and keep you grounded as much as Gates does here!

I decided to subscribe after following the free content for a few months. Got a response to a DM with some help and that sealed it for me.. I made 5x the first months membership fee on my 1st live trading session with him..Very structured training and active group, looking forward to more green days!

I have previous experience with the market , coming from trading futures , but i always felt like there was a piece of the puzzle missing and holding me back. Then I decided to check out options. and this was the missing piece of the puzzle. I was a bit scared at first , i didn’t want to

I’ve been learning and growing in trading since 2020 with a mentor who focused mainly on swing trading. I’ve done pretty well with that and grown my account. Day trading has always been what I really wanted to master, but I haven’t had much success and have mostly lost money trying to figure it out. I’ve paid for a few other chat rooms and Discord groups over the years, but nothing really clicked. With you, though, I feel like I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for—real, passionate, and straight to the point. I’ve been with you for about three weeks now and heard you mention prorating memberships. I appreciate the offer, but I won’t be taking it. I’ll be buying the lifetime membership at full price. Thanks for the work you put in and for helping people like me get better. I really appreciate it. 🙏

I'm a beginner to trading and I joined Gates about a month ago and his guidance has helped me build my confidence in trading. The community is amazing too...well worth the investment. I highly recommend

I’ve been following Gates for a few months now, and he’s become one of my go-to resources for staying grounded in the markets. What stands out most is his calm demeanor—no hype, no screaming alerts, just steady, level-headed analysis whether a trade is working or not. That alone has helped me tremendously with managing my emotions during a session. Every morning, he provides a solid daily watchlist with key levels, which saves me from wasting time scanning blindly. He walks through his trades live—entries, scaling, and exits—regardless of the outcome. Seeing that decision-making process unfold in real time has sharpened my own execution. To cap it off, his post-session Q&A and trade recaps provide the 'why' behind everything he does. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable trader who combines practical tools with a genuine mindset for helping others, Gates’ community is well worth it. Highly recommend for anyone trying to level up their consistency.

Hands down the best mentor for daytrading and i subscribed to all your favorite mentors before. he takes the cake.

Gates is the “Real Deal”. He’s a natural leader and teacher. I’ve been following him for several years and he has proven his strategy works year after year. The team of traders are very knowledgeable, supportive, and you cannot put a value on the wealth of knowledge here. I’m a lifer here. If you’re new and looking to learn trading options or an experience trader looking for an edge or consistency, then this is the place to be. Massive shout out to Gates for all you do!

Been part of the community for a few months now.. Gates is a great mentor! No BS straight to the point stand up kinda guy. Best part is the he ACTUALLY responds to your questions and even takes the time out to review any personal trading issues you are facing.

The best option trading mentor! Always available to answer your questions!

Very professional and knowledgable!! His videos are awesome for beginners! Watch them all!

Joined Gates program about a month ago. Best decision I could've made. With Gates trading plan, it has made me a profitable trader. Every morning, he sends a watchlist and trades live. His discord pays for itself. He is very professional and guides you the best way possible. You'll learn everything from A-Z and eventually apply your knowledge. Very happy with everything I've learned. Thank you, Gates.

Easily one of the best discords in the options day trading community. If you’re new or a seasoned vet, there’s a bunch of value in here. A super fair value, if you

Best mentor on whop! Solid plays, very confident, I’m enjoying the start of my second week here and it’s been a great time ! 11/10 would recommend!

Massively reduced my emotional trading and hugely improved my confidence in understanding price action and setups - he literally gives you everything you need

If you’re a beginner trader and serious about learning this is the place to be. If you’re a seasoned trader, this is the place to level up. Gates’ strategies are proven winners time and time again. The confidence I have gained here has come so far from when I began my trading journey.

I’ve been in Gates’ program for about two months now and have learned a ton. The Whop course has been incredibly helpful — it’s great to go through once and then revisit whenever I need a refresher on a specific area of options trading. Gates is patient, respectful, and positive, and he runs an organized, supportive community on Discord. I’m slowly gaining confidence in my trading abilities and truly feel like I’m in the right place to grow. I really appreciate Gates’ focus on risk management and his emphasis on removing emotion from trading. I’m confident that if I stay consistent and follow the course guidelines and community principles, I’ll continue to become a smarter and more successful trader. Happy to be here!

I've been here a bit over a month. I really like how Gates reviews each trade he takes. Win, lose or draw. He takes the time to show what he saw, what he anticipated and what played out. Not all trades are winners, but even in the losers he'll teach you something. I find that I take fewer trades now than before joining the community, and the trades I do take are better. He preaches patience and proper sizing, two things most of us struggle with. He also has a great Q&A session everyday, you can ask anything, even non trading questions.

I’ve been part of Gates trading community for 2 years. When I stared with him I was still oversizing, I wanted to make huge gains and become a millionaire over night. I would not respect my stops and allow the trades to go to $0. My worst habit was that I would average down instead of cutting the trade. I had no discipline … I was out of control. I was part of many signal groups with FURU’s on IG and YouTube. I continued to learn while I was in the discord to discord phase. There are some great traders and teachers out there but NO ONE like Gates. Believe me, I’ve been part of many trading groups. So what sets Gates and Summit Trading apart from the rest? The value you get here is unheard of. The education and time Gates invests into the community which he starts on Sunday, posting what he’s watching for the week ahead (for FREE on IG). Everyday in the discord he posts the stocks he’s looking at and levels on the Daily Watchlist (spoon feeding). When the market opens, he tells you what stock is moving and gives you the WHY as to why he’s looking to get in, when he’s entering, his entry/fill price, where he’s looking to take profit and the price that the stock needs to get to for it to reach the percentage or exit price he’s looking for. While this is happening, he’s explaining the trade and where he will cut it if it goes against him. Don’t confuse this for a signals chat, this is top tier education. Anyone can tell you calls above this and puts below this…. Gates breaks down the WHY, which with discipline, time, and consistency develops you into a PROFITABLE trader. If you’re on the fence or thinking about joining, come check out the community. I guarantee you will get more than your subscription fee within the week just trading 1 contract…. Again, this isn’t a signals chat, come here ready to learn and gain a skill no one can take from you. In Summit Trading, you’ll quickly notice this is a community that is positive, everyone is helping one another to either learn Gate’s system or even how to navigate through the channels in the discord.

Grates is a great teacher. Well spoken, and very concise. I have zero plan of backing from his server at this time and I know I’ll continue to grow under not only his guidance, but the community’s. I’ve learned more in these last two weeks about price action than I’ve learned in my entire journey of 5 years. Not everyone is 100% correct on all calls, but his success rate speaks for itself. The most positive I can give is that he has indirectly guided me to recognize my mistakes, and I will continue to grow to correct these. If I could give 10 stars, I would. The guy just knows how to teach, and he’s proud of his community. As I continue down my path, I know that one day I can be successful in this as well. And this is coming off a (so far) red week. I’m not sour, I’m learning. Green will come, and I’m excited about the future.

Since my second paid week with Mr. Richard W. Gates, my trading results have been absolutely outstanding. Out of 10 trades, I’ve won 10 — a perfect 100% success rate. Not only do I profit during his live sessions, but thanks to his insights and comments, I’ve also been able to trade successfully on my own throughout the day. I’ve taken many trading courses before, but this one is by far the best and most profitable. Mr. Gates is super kind, always polite, and answers every single question with patience and clarity. Truly a 5/5 experience!

I'm sure we all there with a little apprehension of joining a learning from something, but Gates' insight and community is top tier. Feel like you are there to learn and absorb not only from Gates' but the members as well. Study from and re review things you may and not know from the courses and then apply to how you feel works best for you. Invest in yourself. Great ROI on Gates'. Haha

Thank you so much Gates! Absolutely love this community. Gates has a simple and effective strategy that works! I've been trading here for a few weeks now and every week has been green. Highly recommend

I have been following Gates on Instagram for a long time and recently signed up for his Discord. He is the best trader I have ever seen, explaining everything in detail with excellent entry and exit strategies. I highly recommend signing up for his Discord service. Love the work you’re doing!

I want to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Gates for his invaluable mentorship. After months of struggling with trading, which can be draining and lonely, I discovered his Discord. It’s incredible to be part of the amazing community he built. Thank you for everything you do for us, Gates.

I been in gates about a month now and I learn alot from him. The way gates trade is really sample and easy if you follow the rule. He alway there with you everyday with in the discord explaining about the trade he about to take and alway answer your questions step by step. The way he talk so respectful to other people. All I can say he really good mentor and everyone should give it a try. You will love it here!!

I have followed Gates for a number of years, been in and out of his membership. I always leave the group a profitable trader thinking I've gained everything I could get out of the membership. Then I start breaking his rules and get stuck in my old habits which always brings me back to the group. He's a great mentor and keeps you accountable as to why a trade isn't working, super responsive in the daily Q&A. This membership is worth every penny and if you stick to his rules you will be a profitable trader.

Gates helps you build your skills, patience and confidence through analysis and execution. He takes good trades and makes mistakes, but in both cases explains the rationale behind every decision, helping you become a better trader.

Close to a week now as a member and have been seeing consistent results. Joining the daily discord is a must, to put theory into practice. Where he not only calls out trades but also explains (and reviews after) his rationale and decision making.

Gates has been instrumental in my trading education. He speaks in depth on risk management and the psychological aspect of trading which is very important to any traders journey. Thank you.

Experience, knowledge, transparency and winner. You get all that and more!! The preparation, the thought process, his real-time POV on trades during live trades make it all worth joining. I highly recommend anyone to sign up!

Its been a week i am a member of gates group. I can tell you i am seeing the results he is amazing mentor so much experience great community. Most important he is transparent. Thanks mani who got me here 🙌

Gates has been instrumental in improving my trading. I'm a newer trader, so his patience, calm demeanor, and clear guidance has helped changed my approach to a confident one. I have been in the group for only a couple of weeks and I highly recommend it. Thanks to his mentorship via discord I've been trading with a more disciplined based approach leading to better and more consistently profitable results. I've been through a few discords and this is the One if you want to boost your education, profits, and have a mentor that is accountable and a great personality to start your morning!

I’ve been here for a few days now. This has been the most consistent trading week of my 2.5 year trading experience. Gates is knowledgeable and highly disciplined. He’s also super transparent. I would recommend him to anyone looking for real mentorship and no gimmicks.

Thanks to your training, I’ve been able to stay more disciplined, manage my risk better, and most importantly, stick to a well-defined strategy. My returns have been steadily growing, and I’m finally seeing the consistency I’ve been working toward.

I’ve been in this server for 3 weeks and it’s been the best trading server i’ve been in hands down. I’ve been in over 20 different ones. The only regret is not joining sooner, it would’ve saved me a lot of losses if i would’ve. My account has never looked so good. In trading not every play is going to work but every trade i’ve taken from Gates has went into profit quickly. I’m so thankful to have found this server. Gates trades right along side us every morning so every trade i take i do it with confidence knowing we are in it together. His risk management perfectly aligns with how i like to trade! Thank you gates. I’m very excited to keep stacking the months and keep stacking these profits.

I have been looking for a teacher, a mentor in trading who has a legitimate career, who cares about your growth and I definitely found one. Gates spends the time and effort every day to guide and teach his team through the ups and downs on the market. I have been with the team trading for a months a I have been profitable making approximately $700 million while using $500-$1200 for each trade (mostly $500-700). Please note, the learning curve is high, it takes time to adjust to follow trades and learn. The market may not give opportunities every single day but Trades will teach you discipline. Thank you for everything you do!!!
