Written by the company

I created Spartan Trades, LLC. to build a positive environment of like minded individuals. We are primarily an options day trading group that focus on trading large caps. I detail every single entry and exit that I take so you can follow along with my trades. During market hours, I call out potential plays that I can see value in. Keep in mind, all investing done on your behalf is solely your responsibility. Please do not enter a position based on anyone else's opinion. I post a watchlist every single day with trigger levels. I rarely deviate from this watchlist. The strategy I teach is one that builds consistency. If you want to learn, I highly recommend joining and giving us a try for a few months. Live trading is on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Wanting to sell a service


I think that he knows how to trade, but what bothers me is he tells you to sign up for his exclusive Instagram subscription so he will see and respond to any questions you may have about trading that you would want to ask a mentor, which he did once, but then tried to sell me on a $750 class and when I didn't sign up he stopped answering my questions lol. Bummed because he seems like he wants to help initially, only to be unresponsive when you don't purchase the class. I don't need the class, just looking for a little insight

Disappointed

I have been in this Discord for the past four years on and off. Last December, I downgraded my role from full service to watchlist only (~$87-$25). The system continued to charge me twice. Being so swamped with work, life, and personal issues, I just noticed today. I brought it to his attention immediately. Instead of apologizing and returning my money. He said he could refund the ~$88 for this coming month but not last month since he has no idea if I used the server or not. It didn’t matter that his own automated system failed to adjust my role and payment. It was more important to him to get money unlawfully from a member and supporter of his Discord.

I acquiesced because I had no choice.
This man then turned around and said my refund would be further discounted as I had to pay his PayPal fees.

Why am I paying for his PayPal fees for services I never received?

I am disgusted and disappointed. He brags about all of this money he makes yet he is stealing from his Discord subscribers.

I told him I would need to cancel after February and he said I would have access to the watchlist until 2/25 as that’s when I paid for it. Ten minutes later, he removed me from the server and blocked me (no refund for this service). That is called theft. If you wanted to remove me, you could have stated so and refunded my money. I have never had an issue with Ricky Gates up until he could no longer charge me multiple times for service. Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching. Yes, you can get away with stealing my money but ask yourself, why would you?

Note: He trades under different names - Spartan Trades and now Summit Trading.

I am the #1 trading mentor in the Game

I am the #1 trading mentor in the game. Most mentors want to give you 100 signals that may or may not hit. Then they want to cherry pick the ones that hit and post like they only call winning trades. Thats not me. I am selective with my call outs. 1-3 trades per day and then call it a day. I choose high probability setups ONLY and I am transparent with both my wins and losses.

To date, I have ran multiple challenges taking $1,000 to $50,000 twice and another one running $5,000 to $100,000. All of the trades taken for these challenges are in my discord server and detailed in extreme detail for you to review. Even the losses.

I understand that my trading style may not work for everyone and there are those out there who do not wish to see me succeed. That is okay. I prefer to not focus on the negativity and instead spread the positivity. I do hope that if you see this you give me a chance to help you make some money.

I only want the best for others and my students success means more to me than my own. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message on Discord @TradeLikeGates or on Instagram @RWGates.

Looking forward to speaking with you and thank you for reading my review!

Best mentor out there!!

Nobody compares to how much work he puts into his company and his clients. His discord is unmatched and I love all the free content he puts out on Instagram and Youtube.

Tradelikegates - Spartan Trades

The masterclass and discord is a scam. By the time you enter a trade he's already done. He doesn't show his yearly P/L and makes more money off his discord subscribers than trading himself. Beware.
Tradelikegates also known as spartan trades but he stole that name from another youtube channel, look for yourself.
