ITG is a real community of traders.
The Independent Traders Guild is a private community of options and futures traders. We are serious traders with a focus on the major US indices: SPX, SPY, QQQ, ES, & NQ. We are all students of the market, and come with a passion to learn. Our group has a wide array of experience and talent, ranging from scalping, swing trades, selling premium, long-term investing, and more. At ITG, we celebrate risk management as much as big wins.
Our main focus is education—learning how to "find your fit" as a trader, rather than simple callouts and blind following.
We don't want to just give you fish, we want to teach you to fish.
If you're ready to learn how to trade like the professionals, then join a group dedicated to helping you grow as a trader.
