Turbo Charging your Trading Results!!
I really have learned a lot about ‘Swing Trading’ under TG Watkins!! Additionally, his incredible Moxie Indicator points to when to get into a trade, how long to stay in a trade, and when to exit a trade to gain MAX profits!!
His Moxie tool is also instrumental in doing Macro Analysis and understanding when indices and sectors are getting either weak or strong so you can plan accordingly on when to stay in the mkt and when to get out.
Before TG and his Moxie tool I used to really struggle w/ this process but under his tutelage I’ve absolutely ROCKED where my acct. went up from $40k to $87k within a couple of months!!
I highly recommend TG and his Moxie Indicator it will TURBO CHARGE your trading!!
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible progress! We’re thrilled to hear how TG’s Moxie Indicator has transformed your swing trading and helped you gain clarity and confidence in your market decisions. Watching your account grow from $40K to $87K in just a few months is an amazing achievement—congratulations!

Tr3ndy/Trendy Jon Trading Service
I have been trading for many years and participated in many trading services. In my opinion Trendy/Tr3ndy Jon & Melissa are the best traders I have experienced. Their teaching is a unique service & I like how their methodology is consistent across different timeframes & strategies. They also have a true passion for teaching. I can’t give them enough praise. If you want to learn to trade futures, options, or swing shares, this is the place you need to be.
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your perspective! We’re honored to hear that Jon and Melissa stand out after your years of trading experience. Their passion for teaching and consistency across strategies are what drive the value of the Tr3ndy Trading room, and we’re grateful to have you as part of the community.

Doesn't get any better than Tr3ndy Trading
What Jon and Melissa teach is truly life changing. While you can follow along with their trades, the education and tools provided teach you how to become successful on your own. Although you will not want to leave the great community full of other like minded traders.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear how impactful Jon and Melissa’s teaching has been for you. Their focus on both education and community truly sets the Tr3ndy Trading room apart, and it’s awesome to hear you’re gaining the skills to trade independently while still enjoying the camaraderie of the group.

Tr3ndy Jon & Mel
I wish I had found Supply & Demand (Tr3ndy in particular) when I first started this trading Journey. Jon’s indicators and strategies are great. The PMZ, ACDC, Edge to Edge, ES/NQ Blueprint. This is an Honest Review! It works. I DO WANT TO SAY, IT’S NOT Get the indicator, log in 5 min before open = WINS. You have to put the effort into learning. Watch the videos at least 5x and just soak up all the education. Trade 1 Strat 1st, mine was the PMZ, then I was S/D off 4 hr, now I’m loving the AC/DC. You have to put in the effort, and it’s not an overnight thing. WHAT WILL NOT WORK is trying to combine multiple analyst strategies into 1; you can’t be doing Supply & Demand + 4 different other rooms and say this doesn’t work. CUT OUT THE NOISE AND FOCUS.
I have been consistently trading Tr3ndy for the past six months now. My losses have come from FOMO, blindly following other analysts, avoiding the strategy, and cherry-picking plays. There will be losses, but I have had more WINS than losses, and remember #ITS-JUST-A-TRADE
I highly recommend the Tr3ndy Room, hands down! Cut out all the other noise.
JON AND MEL I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU TWO.
Thank you for your honest and detailed review! It’s great to hear how Tr3ndy’s Supply & Demand strategies have helped refine your trading approach. Your emphasis on putting in the effort, focusing on one strategy at a time, and cutting out distractions is key advice for any trader looking for consistency.
We truly appreciate your support and recognition of Jon and Melissa’s dedication to educating and guiding traders.
Wishing you continued success on your journey!

The Simpler Trading T3ndy Room
The Simpler Trading T3ndy Room is the best education for beginners and experienced traders. Jon and Melissa take the time to helper everyone out. This room is not a room for people who do not want to put in the time to learn how to trade the system. The room has traders with small accounts to very large accounts.
And they also help in the chat room.
Hey, thanks for your feedback! The Tr3ndy Room is truly one of a kind, and we’re so glad to have you as part of the community. It’s great to hear that you’re finding value in the room—Jon and Melissa put a lot of effort into making it a supportive and educational space. Keep up the great work, and happy trading!
I have been a member of ST for 6 months…
I have been a member of ST for 6 months and have learned a ton and during that time I have doubled my portfolio. That being said, i did not do this by blindly following trades and indicators of the presenters, but by accumulating a knowledge base from what they demonstrated. I can not imagine the pressure of alerting trades to hundreds of traders from all different levels of experience.
I learned the most the first 3 months and have been in the trendy, Bias, Moxie, Mavericks, Voodoo and simpler central rooms. I am currently now just in the Moxie room, central rm and the new small lot rm.
I will most likely end my central room subscription since that room is mostly just traders marketing their breakout rooms and indicators. The primary reason I have stayed in the central room is for trades and sessions from JC, the founder, however he seems to be gone on vacation 2 weeks every month. I signed up for the small lot group hoping to get more exposure to his insights and trades since he is the best thing about this service.
I also have a annual membership in the moxie room. I really like TG and how he presents for my personality. He is concise, methodical in his approach and stays away from alot of the distracting social and salesmanship chatter present in the other rooms and is on the mic and present in the chat room consistently on a daily basis but without alot of useless noise. I am trading large amounts of money in a very difficult market environment and find it difficult to filter through alot of fluff in some of the other rooms for useful information. (that is just my personality though and many are there for the social interaction or learning the basics).
Also I like that he is learning and trying new approaches and tools himself such as spot-gamma and Gexbot, and 0DTE and options so its not constant rehashing of the same info every day. Some of what he tries works and some doesn’t and he is quick to admit it and change direction which is my experience as a trader as well.
Thank you for your thoughtful and comprehensive review! Your acknowledgment of the importance of building a strong knowledge base and not solely relying on trade alerts highlights a valuable mindset for sustainable success.
Your feedback on the different rooms and mentors provides a well-rounded perspective, particularly about TG and the Moxie room. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the Central Room. Feedback like yours helps us continuously refine and enhance the experience for all members.
Thank you for sharing your journey, and we’re excited to support you as you continue to grow and refine your trading strategies!

Moxie-TG
Any trading room you are part of is a personal choice. TG, has taught me to fish and be able to make my own decisions backed up with his input when asked. He has always been attentive to answering any questions I may have had or have via the chatroom or email.
Honesty is the best policy and TG checks off all boxes.

I've been a member for almost a year…
I’ve been a member for almost a year now and could NOT be happier! I’m a huge TG Watkins fan as he is on the mic with us daily, giving us his reasons why he is bullish or bearish and the tickers he is looking at. Trade alerts are sent immediately when he executes them. His trades have paid for my membership many times. I’m definitely sold!
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear how much you’ve enjoyed being part of our community. We’re especially glad to know that his trade alerts and clear reasoning behind market moves have contributed to your success.
Your feedback reinforces our commitment to providing actionable strategies and top-notch education. We’re excited to continue being a part of your trading journey!

My favorite trading strategy, the Moxie Way
Stocks have been my hobby my whole life, TG Watkins’ Moxie Trading Strategy is certainly one of the best stock trading strategies that I’ve ever encountered. Besides the Moxie indicator itself, TG teaches patterns like “Elf Shoes”, “trampoline moves”, and best of all, TG is there to guide you the whole way. He instantly spots winners and losers, and quickly tells you why.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with TG and his Moxie Trading Strategy! We’re so glad to hear that you find the strategy among the best you’ve encountered and that TG’s guidance has made a meaningful impact on your trading journey.
We’re honored to be part of your trading journey and appreciate your feedback.

I am in Simplertrading's Trendy Room…
I am in Simplertrading’s Trendy Room with Jon & Melissa. This is the first room that is teaching me Supply & Demand. I had never learned to read a chart or to draw lines and use Fibonacci. I can’t say I have doubled my account or anything close but I do see the distinct possibility of doing this in the near future. Jon really knows his stuff and they make a great team. Mel is a very consistent and patient trader which helps when you suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) you can see where she waits to get in and she knows her targets and waits. I want to be a trader like her. You won’t be sorry to join our room. It is a group of people that are kind to each other and as Mel says, are family.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that Jon and Melissa’s guidance is helping you build your trading skills, and that the Trendy Room is providing a supportive environment for your learning. It’s wonderful to see how Mel’s patience and consistency are inspiring your trading journey. We appreciate having you as part of our trading family!

Excellent Training, transparency, dedication
The Trendy trading room is the best trading room that I’ve been in yet.
After being in 7 trading rooms, all of which felt like throwing darts and pump and dump. I noticed that everyone was using indicators from Simpler Trading, so I decided to go to the source. I came across Trendy Jon and Melissa in the Trendy Trading Room.
I paid $7 for a 30-day trial, compared to the thousands of dollars the other rooms charged. By week 3, I was all in. Trendy Jon’s methodology teaches you structure and how to trade mechanically, not just following along.
Jon’s custom indicators are amazingly accurate and easy to use. Using Jon’s PMZ – Pre-Market Zone – indicator exclusively for 30 days, I was able to realize a 75 of 85-win rate (88%) which increased my portfolio 730% ($894 – $7,420).
Melissa, Jon’s training partner, is methodical with patience second to none. Melissa trades from a small account, as not to leave anyone out and has doubled her account during the 30-day challenge. Each day Melissa discusses her upcoming trades and shows her charts including her entries, adds, trims, and stops. Each day she has a one-hour Q&A session in which she helps members with charting ideas and on Friday’s she has a one-to-two-hour session After Hours to show members upcoming potential trades. She also helps members with charting. No other room has this type of dedication. When the bell rings they shut down their rooms. That is not the case in the Trendy room.
The room stays open and quite often Jon stays after the closing bell to discuss trades from the day or to share his experiences in trading. Every Sunday Jon provides a Broad Market Analysis and Neutral Strategy to go over the upcoming weeks ideas. He has even done these on holidays. That is dedication.
The Trendy room is the most transparent room that I have been in. All trade alerts are done with an API through ThinkorSwim. The alerts are done in milliseconds. Total transparency.
If you decide to try the trial and if the $2497 offer is still available, jump on it! That cost included the indicators for both ThinkorSwim and TradingView, one year membership to the room, and the best education that I have seen. The Trendy Room is worth every penny.
Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the Trendy Room! We’re thrilled to hear that Jon and Melissa’s guidance has made such a profound impact on your trading journey, from improving your win rate to growing your portfolio. It’s great to see the dedication you’ve noted, from Melissa’s patience and thorough sessions to Jon’s ongoing support and transparency. We’re proud to offer a community where traders can truly learn, grow, and succeed.

KNOWLEDGE IS GOLDEN.
I have been a subscriber of most of the reserch services listed and most were not very good, till I found simpler trading. they have the very best classes, teacher’s,and Moderator’s I have ever found. they are always available when I have questions. they are honest to a fault at times, totally great. The Tr3ndy room is my all time favorite ,they have two of the best teachers i ever heard of , that’s including school all the way to collage. In my book . in a five star world they are easily ten stars. I’m so grateful for what they have done for me that i just have to let everyone know and hopefully help others to not have to go thur what i have. These people show that they really do care about teaching a process and it shows in their classes every day.

Diving In
After graduating from the University of Texas with degrees in Economics and History, John F. Carter went to work as a corporate financial analyst. But his personality was more suited to wrangling snakes—and unpredictable options trades—than shuffling day-to-day office paperwork. He’d grown up on his grandfather’s farm in Nebraska, and he missed the wide open skies and daily connection with the natural world.
In 1999, while living in La Jolla, California with his wife (his children hadn’t been born yet), John registered Simpler Trading as his first business. Not only was he shifting from a dependable salary to an income from trading, but he was active in the online forums full of people who shared his obsession with the account growth potential he saw in charts and options spreads. His involvement in trading communities put him into regular contact with traders such as Mark Douglas, Carolyn Boroden, Eric Purdy, Bruce Marshall, Raghee Horner, David Starr, Ross Givens, and many others who mutually respected each other’s work.
Like many successful traders, John increased his independence by demonstrating his tried-and-true strategies, trading live in front of an invited audience. As John helped aspiring traders win their independence, he understood that a greater educational niche wanted to be filled. He had gone through years of trial-and-error in order to teach himself. What if he could offer mentorship, not just from himself, but also from many successful traders with different methodologies? He knew quite a few people who were interested.
