BTTFT Your product is not worth the money I Paid
Your product is not worth the money I paid. And you refused to give me a refund upon request after only 3 weeks of using it.
When I tried it, It was not reliable. And also you are an untrustworthy salesman. I remember before I signed up to your service, the price I saw advertised on your site was: $1995, and then mysteriously after I made an enquiry with you, and we had a phone conversation, and you convinced me that your software was the best thing ever, and worth every penny, and that you would give me a $1000 discount, if I signed up this week, as you did not want me to continue to get the market direction wrong, and "that you liked me". And then mysteriously that day, the advertised price on your website jumped from $1995 to $2495. I should have pulled out of the deal at that stage when I noticed that, but, my bad! I continued to put my card details in. So you did give a discount of $1000 kind of! But really it was only worth a $500 discount! wasn't it Michael Lydick?
You ripped off a fellow Brother in Christ. Shame on you!
And now I see you have inflated your price for the TACHEON TIME WARP software to a staggering $2995. As if it wasn't expensive enough! What!! you don't make enough money from your Trading to give the software away for free, or just a nominal fee? No? No surprise there. It looks like you have to keep inflating the price of your software, because you don't make money from trading.
Michael is a great salesman, and builds rapport with people quickly, But his software does not deliver.
There are many times that his indicator predicts a market change of direction, and it does NOT happen, and sometimes it does happen, so there is no magic prediction in his software, it appears to be just chance. There are many times on his software that the 5 minute candle, or 30 candle will predict a change of price direction at a certain time, but at the exact same time, a 10 minute candle or a 15 minute candle will predict a change in direction opposite to the other signal.
When you purchase, you will be brought through a series of education videos to explain how the software can be used. But then you notice during the training there are lots of exceptions to his rules, and his software does not appear very reliable.
At the time of signing up in (Sept 2023), Michael told me he was in the process of designing his tool to use on Tradingview, But a quick look on Tradingview yesterday, (July, 31, 2024) It still has not showed up!
(There is some indicator called Back To The Future. But I can see it is not Michael's Software.) So his software is only available on NinjaTrader.
All those empty promises Michael! You are a charleton and a rip off merchant, I'd advise anyone reading this to stay clear of Michael's Back To the Future Trading software. He categorically will not give refunds when the user finds out it is worthless. When I asked him for a refund, he said I was not using the software properly, and if I wanted to pay him an additional $100 he could organise special training for me.
Just to assist people who are considering buying this scam software from "Back To The Future Trading" by Michael Lydick, to help them find this review, I am going to include the various names that someone might use to do some research about this company:
[] BackToTheFutureTrading.com
[] Back To The Future
[] BTTFT
[] Tacheon Warp
[] Time Warp
[] Michael Lydick
[] Time Analysis Trading Prediction software

Reply from Back to the Future Trading
Highly recommend Back to the Future
The Back to the Future products and team are unmatched in the trading systems industry. They have great products that work, and also the expertise to make you successful. Unlike other solutions, the company leadership is invested in the success of their customers. They are very seasoned and successful traders themselves. In my experience, most companies that provide trading expertise and tools don’t have many successful customers - not these guys.
Becoming a successful trader is no small endeavor. I can’t imagine taking my trading journey without them. I was new to trading when I started. I can now say my trades are profitable and I’m enjoying using their products and always learning more from the community.
Their latest products, Omnia and Optimus, take their innovation to the next level.
The products are very unique. There’s nothing else on the market that provides reliable trading signals and methodologies for how to take advantage of them.
Thank you Back to the Future Team!
I've been trading since 1993, BTTFT is the REAL DEAL
I've been trading since 1993 (I'm old, soon to be 59) when Cattle, Hogs, Soybeans, Corn, Wheat, Coffee, Silver were a thing to trade and called commodities.
The markets seemed to be less volatile, GLOBEX wasn't a thing, calling my broker for end of day price, open, high, low, close, we updated paper charts manually, (or waited for the WSJ or Investors Business Daily to be on your doorstep the next day), getting order fills on my pager (remember those?)
I've attended expensive seminars from ALL the big trading "gurus" back then, Futures and Options. In search of huge profits and greatness, I bought VHS videos, historical and seasonal chart books, and DVDs. Then computer software after 1995, ODDS, Trade Like a Bookie, expensive trading platforms; Genesis Trade Navigator, MetaStock, Trade Station, Nirvana OmniTrader, many $200+ books. Maybe you have also.
I have spent a Harvard education on bad information and money lost from trading that same bad information. I should call out some of the thieves of my past, but I will take the high road for now.
I had brief success trading T-Bonds 1998-2000. I even was in the top 5 of "Superstar Trading Contest" held by Futures Magazine back then using a floppy disk T-Bond trading software using patterns and trade day of the week and month. It worked in a raging bull market but never since.
But the markets seem to have changed. Banks got greedier and even more ruthless. 2005 thru 2016 I opened several more trading accounts and lost them all in a few months time. The old saying, 90% of traders lose 90% of their money in the first 90 days is very true.
I re-entered the markets 3 years ago (summer 2021) after several years of hard personal and financial times. I found a course on Instagram teaching Volume Profile, TPO, DOM, VWAP, Order Flow, Cumulative Delta, from a former Barclays institutional trader. My trading was still hit and miss. More miss than hit. I funded my AMP Global Trading account TWICE with $18,000. Unfortunately, my account had a slow bleeding both times until it was dead. $36K down the drain and even more lost time and frustration.
I read another dozen books on Amazon trying to understand price action, order flow, volume profile, cumulative delta, open types & day types better. I've lost more money trading order flow than anything else. Like most crap indicators, Order Flow works amazing around 30% of the time.
Fortunately, in fall of 2023, I stumbled into a Thursday TachEon Tool Suite Demonstration Webinar with Michael. I was skeptical, as I've never seen anything like it before. Curiously, I attended a few weeks in a row. Michael was taunting me a bit after my 3rd time attending, so I decided, what the hell, what I'm doing isn't working, and Michael had a progressive solution that I've been seeking.
I took what money was left in my AMP Global account and bought the TachEon Time WARP software and started trading SIM and APEX Trader Funding because I was out of capital to trade.
It took me a while to get used to WARP and the 5 main Patterns that occur at those time signals, because its truly unique and different than anything I've used before. It's difficult to block out the 600 voices of my bad-trading-information-past that I have bouncing around in my big dumb head. I wish I could click on "delete" and get rid of all the bad information that has plagued me for so many years.
Since my purchase of WARP, I have also purchased a lifetime license for PVT and OMNIA.
Today, because of BTTFT, I passed my $50K APEX Eval Account and now I have a PA account. (I won't risk my own money anymore) I also purchased 10 additional APEX $250K Evaluation Accounts, I'm finally on my way to getting all my lost money back from trading and much more.
I can't thank Michael Lydick enough for his brilliance, hard work and time spent developing WARP, PVT and OMNIA. I couldn't have passed an APEX account without him.
BTTFT is the real deal. The entire staff (Michael, Ron, Rachel and Dave) are awesome people. Totally legit and committed to their customers.
Financial Times Headline: "US banks generated a record $80 BILLION (2024) first-quarter profits despite turmoil."
STOP FEEDING THE BANKS! Feed the stray cats instead. Buy the software, learn the patterns, follow the rules, and make money.
The Missing Link
I've been studying price for 2.5 years. I've been mentored by the folks at Simpler Trading, ICT, and M7. All of that has been valuable, but I feel like the applications provided by BTTF have been the missing link. I am fortunate enough to have Warp, Force, and Omnia, and for the most part I use Warp and Force combined with the M7 historical data to take trades. The super cool thing about Force and Warp, is I have multiple setups a day on a 5 and 15 minute chart, and don't have to take 15 trades a day. Since starting to use this software, I've had multiple 15-20 point runs in ES, and some successful trades in CL as well. The other thing I want to mention is the people.... Michael and his crew are fantastic!!! This is not a "here's the product see you later" company. They are extremely helpful and very quick to answer questions. Bottom line, this stuff and the team are great!
Happy Owners
We've owned the entire Back To The Future suite for several years now and have never been anything but extremely happy with any experience. But the game changer for us was when we addedt the PVT to our charts. WOW what an eye opener for our trading style... We have gone from struggling to attain and maintain funded accounts - to cruising through the process and trading multiple accounts. Thanks to Michael, Ron & Rachel for all your support...
Great software and excellent support!
I purchased Warp, Aurora and Force shortly after I began trading in 2023 to help provide an additional edge with my trading, I recently added the Omnia tool to my BTTF toolbox. All of their products have been very helpful with entries, exits and staying in trades. I have had several trades that I would have normally exited but the software indicated to let them run leading to significant additional profits. Nothing is 100% but it definitely helps give me an additional edge with my trading. Michael, Ron, Rachel and Dave have been great and the customer support is outstanding!
"I was blind, but now I see!"
The software tools and accompanying trading approaches developed by BTTF Trading are very unique, uber powerful, and super useful -- and most importantly ==>> they are the gateway to profits. I went from 'unconvinced' to 'astonished and amazed' to 'can't trade without them'.
Another really cool thing about this Company is that when they hold webinars and provide training and answer questions -- you are hearing and seeing it all straight from the folks who developed the concepts and put the software together. Michael and Ron, the braintrust and software gurus, plus Rachel supporting and David on sales, are a really great team!, and actually give a sh%% about their customers. I have seen and experienced this from each of them.
And they run the ship with high integrity also -- No high pressure sales, no smoke and mirrors, no ducking the 'bad' market days, no cherry picking what we look at, etc etc, like you will see from alot of other vendors out there. Just creative approaches that lead to -- green.
NO software can turn a moron into a millionaire (please let me know if you find one), but the BTTF tools and approaches can help you anticipate, understand and deal with what is and what develops, like never before. Like other reviewers have said - I'm extremely thankful to have found BTTF Trading - it is making all the difference in the world to my bottom line. Happy Happy Camper here.
Back to the Future Trading...leading the pack
Back to the Future Trading provides a wealth of knowledge and great resources to help any trader improve and become profitable. I have always received quick support when I needed assistance or had a question. What they provide is definitely unique and unlike any other company. I am thankful for BTTFT!
Since 2009 member
i have been a member of BTTF software since 2009 (15 years) and can't believe I have taken so long to give a review. I can honestly say that when you buy their software, they will be there to give you lifetime support and mentorship if you need them. I have used the software with my own trading method for many years. Its amazing to wait for the time signal and see how price will react with the exact time given days in advance. I trade less than a hour a day most of the time. I am truly grateful to Michael, Ron and Rachael for the support over the years!! The software and support just keeps getting better... The Omnia and PVT signals are a game changer...
Warp and Force - a real game changer.
I have been a Warp owner for several years but I recently made the upgrade to Force. I learned a lot about using the 2 programs in Michael's trade room. Once you see the power of force it cant be unseen. When I use the 2 programs together and have confluence of signals within 2 bars of each other it is a real game changer.
Great Company and Great product
Great Company and Great product. Michael and Ron really care about there customers. The software and premise takes time to really learn but like anything else that you want to become good at you have to put in the time and this is where Mike and Ron and the community will stick by you through the journey. Would definitely recommend
I first bought their software in 2014
I first bought their software in 2014. I have never seen anything that provides better timing or direction for trading. Do yourself a favor and jump in with both feet
Think about putting your energy on this.
I was a costumer a year ago I bought WARP then the PLUG IN AURORA, I put tons of energy on studying and back testing with the software I spoke with Michael couple times, he has a nice way to calm you down when you’re confused but even though I wasn’t able to make money, I spoke whit other costumers that were using the software and they also have moved on because there is something it this company that is not making sense, why would they sell you a super powerful tool to predict the future when that tool should worth millions. Also some of their sales man are moving because they saw something inside the company that may be not fair for costumers.
I learned from them different stuff like 1MIN SCALPING, but if spend a year and a half with them and I regret that because I didn’t got my investment back' I just couldn’t ,make money over time.
Now that I moved i have been funded by two prop firms using my own criteria.
So I put them 1 star review because I don’t have doubts that i wasted time and money here.
Btw Michael and the staff are great.

Incredible software!!!
Incredible software!!!!
I have been trading options for many years and have never found any program that really helped me be profitable. Now with the Time Warp I know exactly when to get in and get out my trades. I can now hold my trades longer for more profit. I also use the software for longer term options trades too. Definitely recommend for any level of trader
Thanks BTTFT
NEW CAREERf…
I've been with BTTFT for a number of years now.....went to other companies briefly but came back to where I never should have left..............after 50 years of being a successful dentist BTTFT is allowing me to have a new career..............support is great which is important to me as I'm not a genius when it comes to the computer,
You can thank me later!
Over the last 5 years I’ve tried a few different indicators and systems, since I started trading BTTF it has definitely become my favorite. I really love the design of the products. Micheal, Ron, and all of the staff are very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new way to trade the markets they are very good and quality products.
Paid for My Investment of Tacheon TimeWarp in 3hrs!!
I usually do not write reviews on the very 1st day of my personal experience, but I just had to write this honest review because I am just filled with gratitude and excitement at this time from my short experience with the company's flagship software, TachEon TimeWarp Software system!
First off, Michael and BTTF Team (Dave and Rachel), I just wanted to say thank you and extend my gratitude for support from the initial experience from the introduction from the Webinar to onboarding with answering all of my questions including the remote hands-on support installation of the software.
When I first watched the webinar and herd Michael confidently speak about their software system, I thought "Oh boy.." either he truly knows what they got or just plain cocky. Either way, there was definitely a reason why Michael was highly confident with their software system after 15yrs. I have to honest say, I think I might have found the missing link to my trading efforts and business after 7yrs of trying to nail down "Time!" I always knew, as I was mentored early on, there’s really 2 key things we, as retail traders, need to do fundamentally and consistently very well to consistently be profitable and successful in trading the financial markets with the Institutional/Hedge Fund Bad Boys: (1) Direction and (2) Time….I had "Direction" right majority of the time with Price Action and Marker Structure Technical Analysis, but my Timing was always 2 steps forward and 1 step back. I will win Big on couple of trades and then lose multiple trades after that (giving back my gains to the market) to net me out a small profit by the end of the week or month! Frustrating to say the least! Ever experienced entering into a trade to be shortly stopped out, then price eventually goes in your estimated analysis or prediction?!? The Direction was right, but timing just happened to be early or late...majority of the time. Not anymore with BTTFT's TimeWarp!
I literally purchased the system on Friday, I did spend majority the whole weekend studying and watching all of the awesome and easy to follow video training (Yes, I was that freaking determined to get ready for Monday's trading with this System, which I may need to go back a re-watch a couple of them, mostly the patterns to improve my execution), then within first 3hrs of Monday's 9:30am market opening (has anyone telling you to not trade on Monday's due to low volume), trust me when I say this as this not some BS or Hype review...I literally made enough to cover the cost of the software investment with just 1 contract per trade entry (If I could simply put a screenshot of today's P&L proof to this review I would).
I’m still actually in disbeliefs…Now, I had some good days in the past (for sure) but it's just once or twice in a month and that's not without fighting efforts. But with this system, I breeze through this morning's market opening like I knew what was going to happen before it happened (now there's no system that can predict the future or is 100% accurate or perfect) and I'm not saying that either. But I have to admit that this system comes pretty damn close...However, I am saying that this system totally helped me navigate 'when' (Time) to look for market pullbacks and reversal in an Uptrend and Downtrend on a 3Min TF with ease (where most traders struggles the most). This is what gave me the confident to take a small risk positions per trade without hesitation to jump in. Now, having said all of that, I do not recommend anyone trading with any system on Live or Funded Prop Accounts right away without testing your strategy on Demo first, unless you're very experience with some years of screen time and understanding of market cycles.
With a 57% Win Rate right out the gate for a 1st real-trade run with this software forecast system, it's shortly after 12 noon and I’m actually done for the day even though I feel like I could keep going.
Folks....this system is truly unbelievable! I'm still taking back on what just happened. I've never seen or experience anything remotely close to this software algorithm in my 7yrs of trading and that's saying a lot with buying and testing at least 100 (minimum) custom free & ridiculously expensive indicators and trading systems from all kinds of vendors and guru's. Even the ones who's says theirs is predictive....not even close to BTTFT's TachEon TimeWarp.
Again, thank you Michael and BTTFT….I don’t know how your YouTube video came up on my random interest list 2weeks ago from today's date, but I just happened to click on it, was shock of what I saw and heard, and look at me 2 weeks later now?!?
You guys are a Godsend or is it just by Universal Law of energy vibration frequency I just happened to finally be aligned after all of these years!?!?
Unbelievable...I'm totally satisfied and grateful
I am new with their product
I am new with their product, and I'm still examining it. The people have been very helpful, especially Charlie I feel like I've known him for years. He is so easy to talk to He was the reason that I made the purchase. Everyone there is great. And very helpful. That is important to me.
What stands out to me is the support…
