About Mike's Services

The VIX Trade Alerts service features Mike's day and swing trade alerts on the VXX as well as VXX options. The alerts are posted live in the ElliottWaveTrader room and available by email. The service also features a Live Video on Mondays after the close, in which Mike presents his charts and answers member questions.

Forex is a standalone service in our Trading Room that features chart analysis and alerts on trading opportunities in both the major and minor forex pairs, as well as crypto cross pairs, hosted by Mike and Arkady Yahknis. The six majors are EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, USDCAD, and AUDUSD.

OUR MEMBERS SAY ...

“I will say this about this site and the crew in general: It is one of the most cohesive, cooperative and harmonious "work" groups I have ever experienced. Everyone's dedication is exemplary, above and beyond the call of duty. The leadership is outstanding. All the trading and money making aside, it is a true pleasure to be here. I haven't even talked about the quality of the analysis. That, I think speaks for itself. OUTSTANDING!”

"Nanook" - Trading Room2018-11-08

“Whomever has yet to join Avi's EWT Pinball on SA or his main site you guys are really missing unbelievable opportunities. Their analysis, analysts and the groups are superb. Imagine knowing back in 2016 the market had 2 years and 800 Points of upside in his analysis and charts and one would have confidentially bought the bottom. On the ElliottWaveTrader.net you can and will get 100's of different charts, perspectives and the ability to buy with confidence or even more important not to buy if a indices or security is topping and should and will head lower which allows you to short, take profits or wait for a pull back. Now for the best part when they see a stock which looks like it is about to break out or down they post it and I have watched and experience many 5x,10x and even 20x returns in a few hours out to 1-10 day returns. Avi, you, your team and site is really far above anything I could have even imagined.”

“I remember distinctly reading an article in 2011 by some kook who had the audacity to call the top in PM when they were obviously going nowhere but up. I dismissed him for the exact same reasons people dismiss him now and went on to suffer catastrophic losses over the next couple of years. Yesterdays highs of both GLD and GDX tapped Avi’s resistance zones nearly to the penny and have since turned down. And the guy gets criticized for being right. If you want to feel better about being wrong, stick to perma-pumpers like Adam Hamilton. If you’re interested in actual price action and calls that actually get updated as conditions change, this is the place to be.”

“Would just like to say Avi, Your approach and professionalism. and the time you take to look after every one on this site is superb. Your a great mentor and I can't thank you enough for turning my trading around. Ive literally turned a huge corner this year and I feel its due to your self and your teams help. So thank you.”

“This site is for teaching people to fish with the shark, not to get eaten. E-wave is not my main methodology, but seeing what the analysts have done here is pretty amazing. As a subscriber/observer I can say without exception that they give you the tools to make good choices.”

“you are certainly fortunate to have found this place. I know I count my blessings for finding it 3 1/2 years ago . . . now that you are part of EWT you will (should) realize how there are a countless great opportunities presented each day, week, month... this place is honestly the most wonderful online community and its mission is to help people and educate them...and keep them at this successfully "forever." ”

"Giuseppe" - Trading Room2017-01-06

“I appreciate your your insightful technical analytical focus on the market. I have been a financial advisor for 37 years, and I have NEVER felt comfort from fundamental analysis as a predictive tool on future market movement. I have mostly felt anxiety. Thank you, Avi, to you and your associates, for helping me sleep better at night, because I no longer have to be imprisoned by the capricious whims of the fundamental analysts and soothsayer economists. -John Martin, proud subscriber to Elliott Wave Trader for 9 months, but follower of Avi Gilbert for many years”

“Avi I am truly amazed at how well you and all the analysts here have managed to call this market....it has been a sight to behold, been in markets 20 years now and have never seen such accurate prediction”

"Rossie" - Trading Room2017-12-17

“One thing I like about this site, is rookies like myself can rub shoulders (even if only electronically) with the pros and learn so much in a community setting where everyone helps each other in an environment of free flowing ideas and opinions! And, of course, we have a stand up no BS leader with a proven track record!”

"bullhammer" - Trading Room2016-10-22

“I met Avi in Miami in July 2013 ...The reason was I was tired of Robert Prechter of EWI negativity on the SPX...Avi and team brought a balanced and unemotional approach to the markets. As a 35 year veteran of trading.....I Highly recommend this service...”
