Letter from Jay Strizzi

Co-Founder of Trade With Titans

Dear Aspiring and Experienced Traders,

I'm Jay Strizzi, though many in the trading world know me as 'Jay'. As a co-founder of Trade With Titans (TWT), I'd like to take this opportunity to address some common questions about our service and share my vision for what we're building here at TWT.

Addressing the Elephant in the Room: Credibility and Transparency

In the world of financial services, skepticism isn't just common—it's necessary. Two questions we frequently encounter are:


1

How can I be sure Trade With Titans isn't another trading scam?

2

If you're such successful traders, why offer a subscription service?


These are valid concerns, and I'd like to address them head-on.

‍Third-Party Validation: Setting the Gold Standard

Addressing the question of our credibility requires a brief look at our history. Our team's journey in educational trading communities began with our partnership with 'Trade At Ease' (TAE). TAE started as a community of ambitious traders eager to realize their potential, and it was our mission to help them achieve their goals.


During our time with TAE, we caught the attention of FinTwit Furus, an independent organization renowned for their uncompromising evaluations of trading services. I encourage you to read their comprehensive review of our work at Trade At Ease, which provides valuable insights into our approach and philosophy.


I'm proud to say that our efforts with TAE earned us the highest rating in FinTwit Furus' history. This accolade speaks volumes about our commitment to excellence and the value we provide to our community. What's particularly noteworthy is that this recognition came before we had even introduced some of our most powerful tools, including:


Version 3.5 of our Orderflow Bot

Daily volatility-adjusted levels for futures indices and equities

Beta-test of our Volatility Bot (available on TradingView)


These advancements have since taken our offerings to new heights, providing our members with even more sophisticated analysis and trading insights.


We view this recognition not merely as a validation of our past efforts, but as a challenge to continually push the boundaries of what's possible in trading education and technology. It fuels our drive to innovate, refine our methodologies, and deliver ever-increasing value to our members.


As we've transitioned from TAE to Trade With Titans, we've carried forward the principles that earned us such high praise while continually evolving to meet the demands of today's dynamic markets. Our commitment to transparency, education, and member success remains unwavering, now backed by even more advanced tools and insights.

Trade With Titans vs. Scams

Years ago I was sitting in law school, anxious about the debt I was taking on. And on top of that, the huge associate salaries that were supposed to be the light at the end of the tunnel were no longer the same because of the degree of automation, inflation, and general over supply of young attorneys in the field. 


I was lured into the trading world like a moth to a flame, hoping for salvation. I subscribed to every "guru" out there, only to find the emperor had no clothes. I've seen scams, and I’ve worn their T-shirts.


Generally, the issues I noticed almost always came down to the folks in charge of the service, usually falling into one of two categories. Either they didn’t really know how to trade themselves and were just starting out, or they were much older and out of touch with how the markets today have adapted to technological and macroeconomic changes, so the advice they had wasn’t very relevant. 


On the other hand, our team combines the best of both worlds. We've got folks like Usual Whale and Gamma Labs — who have the formal quantitative and practical training from academia and time in the industry. And then there's me and Adam Set — retail traders who eventually grew to manage institutional capital. You can learn more about our team’s background here.

The Market is Not Your Grandma's Market

With this amalgamation of skills, our unique strength is that we recognize today’s market is not the same as it was 20 or even 10 years ago. 


For example, look at the early 2000s Dotcom bubble. The market remained flat for nearly a decade afterwards. Imagine if that happened today and the S&P returned 0 percent over 10 years. Fintwit would be losing its mind! 


You can also examine the 2008 financial crisis, where the market again took several years to recover from the drawdown. Compare that to the 2020 COVID crash that lasted all of a few months at most, or even the most recent 2022 bear market that turned around before the year even ended. 


With HFTs, derivatives, and the Fed playing an increasingly active role in the markets, the strategies you need to succeed are different now. For instance, due to structural changes in exchange liquidity, avoiding just 20 of the worst days in the S&P over the last 20 years would have resulted in more than double the returns compared to a naive buy and hold strategy. 


In other words, just nailing a couple of key trend days has an enormous long term impact.


Luckily for you, while we’re young and constantly adapting to these new paradigms, we’re definitely not inexperienced. So you get the unique combination of the depth of a seasoned trader with the energy of an ambitious team that’s yet to be jaded like those old farts on CNBC.

Why We Offer A Subscription Service

You’ll often see this question thrown around by Twitter reply guys to debunk most trading services. And for good reason. It’s often a great measuring stick to evaluate why such a business even exists in the first place. After all, there’s no shortage of people grifting these days.


However, there’s a stark contrast to draw here. Products offered by folks with little to no skill are usually quick cash grabs that tend to flame out very rapidly. Members lose money and leave. Word gets around, and eventually the business ends up a shell of its former self, hanging on to its glory days by a thread. 


In contrast TWT has maintained a robust and growing community, with several long time members that have gone on to become formidable traders in their own right. Check out some of our awesome testimonials!


But I understand that the doubtfulness, especially in the world of trading, runs deep. So we can unpack this idea one layer deeper.


The fundamental premise behind this skepticism is that a founder who has no means of legitimately earning meaningful income will masquerade as a trading expert to generate some reliable monthly cash flow. Or in simple terms, they need the money.


Our team’s background effectively invalidates this concern. To be completely transparent, TWT isn’t a meaningful source of income for any of us. My partners and I have been fortunate enough to achieve significant financial success through our prior ventures, including founding and selling companies, our own trading activities, and other investments. 


Of course, then the natural counter argument is: Then Why Charge At All???” 


The fallacies behind this line of reasoning become readily apparent when we simply draw parallels to other industries. 


LeBron James has generational wealth. So why do the Lakers charge me so much to watch him play courtside? 

Phil Knight is a billionaire, so why are Nike shoes so expensive?

Elon Musk… 


You get the point. 


If these things were completely free, folks would rush in by the thousands. While I’m not an NBA superstar, TWT would become a complete disaster, flooded with folks looking to get rich quick. I wouldn’t be able to teach anyone anything useful. 


The saying “put your money where your mouth is” applies nicely here. We find that a financial investment often leads to greater engagement and better results for our members. It’s just like why you skip fewer workouts when you pay for personal training rather than rely on your own willpower to get off the couch. Having someone, and in our case a whole community, hold you accountable, often works wonders. 


Furthermore, there’s always operating costs associated with any business. Our institutional-grade data feeds and servers that power our bots and options flow tools are not cheap. I also have a small staff to pay. 


And lastly, I assign a price to my services because I value my time and offer one of the highest quality products out there. In general, this is why most high value things in life, like watching LeBron courtside, are not free. 


It's worth noting that we also provide a significant amount of free content through our social media channels, YouTube, and newsletter. Our paid offerings are for those who want to dive deeper and accelerate their trading journey.


Still Unsure?

If you’re on the fence, I’m so confident that you will find immense value from your TWT subscription, that I’m willing to offer you a money back guarantee if you try us out and feel like it’s not a good fit in the first 7 days.
