Stories from Students

Ryan Nieto
Zach brings logic and clarity to a market full of noise and chaos. TheVWAP’s strategy is simple, straightforward and supported with so much quality educational content — not to mention the custom VWAP indicators, which are phenomenal — and they’ve gone above and beyond whenever I’ve reached out for guidance. Knowing I’ve found a key piece to my edge within the market has given me the confidence to stop searching for the indicator de jour and instead focus on risk management and execution.
In my mind, my early trading career is broken up into two sections: before VWAP and after VWAP. Zach taught me to look at price action from a different angle. I remember feeling like the blindfold was being taken off. Zach has a talent for explaining complex ideas in simple terms, and each of the lessons I learned from the course are tools that I use everyday in my trading.

Joe Wilfong
I’ve been through so many trading education programs but this is the first that’s resonated with me. VWAP has been nothing short of transformative for my charts, and I use Zach’s indicators everyday, especially DateVWAP and HighLow, for my swing trading and options plays. It’s crazy how often multiday VWAPs act as support or resistance… it feels like a cheat code for technical analysis. I can’t imagine trading without VWAP, it’d be like flying blind.
VWAP is one of the most powerful tools a trader can use, and the training Zach provided was incredibly clear and insightful. TheVWAP has been a great place to develop a solid understanding of the market, and the materials they provided helped me create a clear trading plan with guidelines for execution. Beyond that, Zach has personally been a great help in my journey as a trader and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or his course to any trader.

Chad Darbonne
Zach explained the markets in a way that was easy to understand and implement and I’m trading with much more confidence as a result. I used to be all over the place, but now I feel like my development is on the right path. I wish I’d found VWAP years ago.
This stuff is amazing and I’m so glad I got the course. The clarity the deviation bands give on where to enter and when to add or sell is insane. It’s changing the way I trade. I’ve never felt so confident while watching a price dip and knowing where it’s likely to rebound… it’s sniper like. So much hidden resistance I had never seen before, and I’m finally catching some big moves.

James Ferreira

Mike Stolkin
Zach has endless patience and communicates with clarity, and I’m very fortunate that I found him and TheVWAP. He’s a genuine guy and a real trader who will show you how to properly look at the market, and I have immense confidence in his abilities as both a coach and a coder. Trading is a lonely profession and Zach has become a great ally that I can consistently rely on.
The difference in my trading compared to a year ago is like night and day. I honestly never expected I’d be at this level with my trading, but now that I am I realize how far I’ve come with Zach’s help. I’ve spent thousands on other education, but nobody else seemed to have a genuine interest in my trading development. It’s immediately apparent when someone treats teaching and coaching like a chore, versus someone who’s passionate like Zach. He’s not only interested in my progress, I can tell he’s dedicated to it.

@ZachHurwitz Thanks for the VWAP Resource Guide; I was having difficulty figuring out where to anchor; was using arbitrary times (ie. market open, etc) But your idea of anchoring to events or intraday high/low is a real eye opener and will help immensely......

@ZachHurwitz 1st of all, I want to thank you for the free guide on VWAP. I read it last night and it gave me an aha moment. So I thought I'd apply it today on $INTC since it had great earnings and it's a stock with 68% Int. Own. I'm currently long from 67.38 and still holding...

If you need custom ThinkorSwim indicators, he's the man. Slowly I've gotten my charts to exactly what I wanted, almost everything came thru Zach to get there. Since Zach also trades, he 'gets it'. He understands the questions and the why behind them.
TY!
@ZachHurwitz is your man... great guy whose code(s) I use every day....

"(starting off) I wasn't learning enough to become competent, only just enough to become confident."
