Why TOP GUN Options ...

I have been trading Calls for several years using technical analysis but with TGO I learned to limit my risks and be disciplined to close an unfavorable trade. It still happens to make mistakes but Whiz takes the time to explain all the tactics about the options; the Call, Put, Spread and more. Investing in the stock market with options is not just trading, it is also understanding the global geopolitical situation that affects the market, Whiz takes the time to give his opinion on it. Being able to interact with people like me using the 'Ready Room' and Self Direct Investment Squadron makes the experience very rewarding.
Thanks Whiz and the TGO team,

Gaetan

Since reading the book and following the podcast I have been able to invest my money on the options market in a way that I myself can’t believe. The guidance and knowledge that Mathew conveys prepares you to achieve your goals.. to add the guy is a Navy fighter pilot so you know you are following a hero into the options wars

Thank you TGO

I'm amazed by how much I have learned having zero experience trading options. I'm halfway through Full Throttle options training and ready to trade thanks to Matthew Buckley's systematic approach. His SITREP (situational report) briefs are filled with priceless information. Infinite gratitude to Top Gun Options.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly! I've been a part of the TGO family for several years now and while there are lots of Options training choices TGO is the best of the best.

E. Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley never sugarcoats his perspective of the markets nor the opportunities and threats that exist. Instead he teaches you regimented repeatable strategy and tactics; furthermore, shows you how to operationalize what you learn.

Like everything else in life, nothing good comes without proper training and dedication, learning to trade Options is no different. If you're looking for a handout, keep looking, but if you are serious about leaning what matters, and you want to learn from one of best Options mentors that I have ever known, you should check out Whiz and topgunoptions.com.

Of course you can continue to waste money with all the other windbags out there that promise you quick returns and easy money; please let me know how that works out for you other than leaving your pockets a little lighter. I am thankful to have met Whiz and I am grateful to be a part of the TOPGUN squadron.

Carpe diem!

TopGunOptions (TGO) is one of the only…

TopGunOptions (TGO) is one of the only services that provides free daily commentary on YouTube so that traders can learn various strategies while also understanding the various geopolitical news that affects markets. Further, TGO is the only service that I know which also posts for FREE some paid training (which they call Full Throttle) so that you get at least 5 hours of free training and insights before you subscribe.

For those traders who just want trades broadcast to them, TGO is not that service. From my personal experience, if you enter a trade without understanding WHY, then that is just gambling.

I read the comment that gave TGO a bad rating and I completely disagree for the reasons I mentioned above.

Top Gun Options is the best service

I have been trading stocks for 35 years and options for 20 years. Top Gun Options is by far the best service that I have seen. The instructor goes out of his way to ensure all questions are answered. His focus is on learning with an emphasis on limited risk. That is how you know he is the real deal...he constantly focuses on downside risk. In addition to his acumen as an instructor, he is an even better human being. Constantly mentioning helping those who are less fortunate...He has started numerous charitable organizations. He has offered his personal time to assist me one on one on numerous occasions...I cannot say enough good things about Top Gun Options. The best recommendation I can give is that my children are learning from his teachings also.

Broad knowledge of world events is the basis of TGO's success.

Some may disagree with the moderator's views but none can deny that they have produced profits for those who have followed them...which, in effect, validates the correctness of those views.

The political rants are one of the best parts of the service. They provide enormous entertainment value as well as intelligence. I have jokingly said that I am a member of TGO just to hear the rants.

In every financial service, there are members who are disruptive to the mission. Whiz is diligent about removing those misguided individuals who threaten the success of TGO. So far, his policies have worked to the benefit of all his subscribers.

Trader mama!

I joined Top Gun Options 6 months ago prior to going on maternity leave. The knowledge and skill Matt provides is invaluable. His holistic approach to trading includes politics and world events which differentiate his service from all the others. I have stayed on and continue to trade even after going back to work. Thank you TGO!

I could not be more grateful to be working with such a professional group of traders. I’ve learned so much and have turned that knowledge into profits. Matthew Buckley has truly changed my life. If you can’t find success with Top Gun ... go fix whatever problems you have in your own life because that’s the real issue.

TOPGUN Options is the BEST options…

TOPGUN Options is the BEST options training service. There is no equal.

Whiz predicted the covid market crash to the day and taught me how to profit as the market imploded. I am ready for when, not if, the market crashes again.

He stresses risk management and discipline - and how those combine for superior execution.

He's a good family man and has also stood up a foundation - TOPGUN Fighter Foundation - to prevent veteran suicide. He really does "put the ladder down" to help others out.

If you want to learn how to trade options profitably from a GREAT American, TGO is the place to be.

A true American patriot and a great teacher

I have known Matthew "Whiz" Buckley for 2 or 3 years and have been a member of his trading group for that entire time. He is absolutely the most straight forth trading "gurus" I have known in the 30+ years I have been trading. He is honest and tells you exactly like it is. You may not always agree with him, but he is unwavering in his honesty and that counts for a lot. If you trade with him, you are not going to be constantly barraged with a sales pitch on the "latest and greatest" trading indicator because he teaches an entirely different approach and style to trading. His efforts to establish a foundation to help prevent veteran suicides speaks volumes for his character.

If you like having your opinions mocked…

If you like having your opinions mocked and hearing endless tinfoil hat rants, this is the trading site for you. Rants constantly about being thrown off Facebook jail for his political views, (is currently using his wife's account), but will have no problem kicking you off his website if you don't support his views. If you're willing to invest over $2500 only to be ejected for any reason with the refusal of any refund then go for it, else look elsewhere.

UPDATE Feb 2023: Every 'tin foil hat' rant for the past 3 years turned out to be proven true...and we profited as a result.

'Max' is actually Nestor Padilla, a disgruntled former TGO member who was removed from our services for being rude and disruptive not only to our staff but to his fellow members during our live training sessions. He was removed from our services per our terms and conditions and initiated a chargeback with his credit card company, which he lost.

He then filed with the Better Business Bureau where TGO fought his bogus claim, which he lost.

With no other outlet it seems that Nestor 'Max' Padilla is now choosing to slander us here.

You can read our other reviews and determine for yourself who is wearing a 'tinfoil' hat.

Be well Nestor.

Great Educational Program by TGO

Great educational program by TGO. Was able to make some great profits following the SPX plunge, as predicted, but due to me holding to my positions longer than necessary, I ended up giving part of my profits back. Common newbie mistake. Service is great, and the news commentary are spot on.

The only negative I can find relates to the content in their main page setup, as it needs to be better organized, but other than that, their service is one of the best out there in an industry full of wannabe "gurus", who continuously inundate your inbox with emails trying to sell you their "holy grail" system(s). Bottom line is, I'm grateful for finding TGO.
