You said everything I was thinking and seen, I have that Steven Wasson as a Skype contact, he assured me Sean was 100% when I bought the software at the first of the year and Sean went MIA in about 2 months after I got software and u are correct they was selling software up to the last webinar, and dont forget about Genevieve Jimenez with her survey and giving out Stevens contact info to push software. I had wrote Sean and her several times requesting a refund with no luck and never got a reply from Sean. I was informed that Steven was a contractor and I had really wondered if I could take him to court locally not sure if that could be done, I know he lives in CA and I live in TX. To my understand I always thought he worked for the company. Share your storys!
Hello, licensing of 3rd party add-ons is exclusively controlled by the 3rd party. I understand that other GZT clients are also having difficulty reaching them but that is what needs to occur to discuss licensing options. We are also attempting to reach them to let them know of your concerns and if we reach them, we will ask them to contact you directly. However based on these complaints and our inability to reach them, we had their vendor listing removed last week.
Sincerely,
John NinjaTrader Platform Customer Service
I'm quite mad because I only paid for and added on the Print Profiler to the GZT package just before Easter and I have to say that upto now, I didn't want to believe Skeptical or GlobalTrader. Around that time Stephen Wasson and another one of Kozak's lackeys Mike Bandy who I believe is also an empoyee of GZT promised me that the NT8 release was just around the corner. I just checked and GZT are no longer listed on the Ninjatrader site.
If all this is true then Kozak is utterly despicable. The facts above also imply that @DocR (who is RJ in GZT or Raul Jimenez) knew when he posted last month of the troubles in GoldenZone. I quote from his previous post:
'GZT grew from a few customers to many customers and I was no longer able to focus on my own trading and company. For said reason, and health, I resigned from GZT. At this point, I am back coding Market Force indicators which I use for my own trading and may put in the market.'
So the information in this post and previous posts by @Skeptical and @GlobalTrader makes @DocR's previous posts that he resigned for health reasons sound like utter nonsense. It sounds like there is a lot more going on under the surface than DocR let on and we know so far. DocR knew all the facts last month when he was posting away trying to wash his hands of GZT and he could have come clean but he didn't.
Genevieve Jimenez quoted by @buick above is DocR's wife. DocR can protest all he like but I find it despicable and abhorrent that both these people were in bed with Kozak milking the honey until it suited them. Just shows the integrity of ALL these people.
Its been long and difficult road trying enlighten people of Kozak and GZT. Everyone needs to contact Ninja, and everyone else associated when GZT. Get off you bum and be pro-active and set your sites on Kozak living in his new Million Dollar + house on your money. I bet he is smiling drinking cappuccino's thinking what a great trader and saleperson he is. The truth is he is nothing but a piece of Dog Shit, Perhaps that's even too good for him.
Your request could not be completed, as the account you are attempting to reach is no longer active.
Sean Kozak is a futures trader of over 8 years and specializes in strategy development and trading education. As a licensed securities advisor in Canada, Sean has helped (scam) traders all over the world reach their goals of becoming professional traders.
SharkIndicators does not have any authority to manage or direct the operations of Golden Zone Trading. GZT has been removed from our vendor list. We are no longer affiliated with GZT. We have lost contact with Mr. Kozak quite some time ago. If you have any information on how to contact him or anyone working for GZT we would appreciate that info. BUT KOZAK IS A DIRECTOR OF SHARK. WTF
Sean is the owner of Golden Zone Trading and the Director of Business Development for SharkIndicators. Sean’s trading experience came from being mentored by former market makers on the CME & CBOE where he learnt the ins and outs of trading order flow and price action strategies.
I think Shark should be boycotted also. Shark has done nothing to support the customers ripped off by Kozak, yet they were happy to take clients money.
It's ironic how all the people who 'worked closely' and were literally in bed with Kozak are now trying dissociate and wash their hands off him now that their own business interests could be at risk.
When did you learn of Mr Kozaks condition? Which condition are you referring to?
I find it difficult to believe that since early 2015 SharkIndicators had no knowledge of GZTs and Sean Kozaks fraudulent claims in regards to the software.
Is it true or not that SharkIndicators repaired GZT code for it to run more efficient on Bloodhound and Blackbird as late as March 2017? Keeping in mind that Shark had being coding for GZT since the Integration of Bloodhound approximately as early as 2013.
Is it also correct that SharkIndicators were also aware as early as 2013 that there were inherent problems with the integrity of GZT indicators? And the integrity of GZT itself?
It is also correct while [COLOR="Red"]SharkIndicators[/COLOR] was well aware of all these problems with GZT , SharkIndicators continued to accepted payments from GZT customers. Business was was going great for GZT and SharkIndicators and SharkIndicators was fully aware of all the problems with GZT and choose to do NOTHING about it.
Now that GZT has been finally been found to be a complete fraud full of false claims. What does SharkIndicators plan to do in good faith to all GZT customers who purchased your products through GZT?
All vendors, contractors involved in GZT or any other company that can not provide real trades, true statistics, unequivocal proof of performance should be boycotted by the trading community. As for GZT this inculdes, SharkIndicators, https://www.sharkindicators.com/, Raul Jimenez http://www.icinder.com/,"dont forget about Genevieve Jimenez with her survey and giving out Stevens contact info to push software". ,https://eztradingcomputers.net/, NinjaTrader. Stephen Wesson, saleperson who continued to sell GZT knowing GZT was folding.
Its time for all traders to standup against this type of business practice that thrives within the trading community and punish all parties related to this disease contaminating the trading community, regardless of their denials. Vote with your wallets as that will hurt the greedy self-serving practices they have enjoyed for so long. Amen.
It is evident that the last few messages show anger, disdain and failure to respect others, as well as understanding legal issues involved in the failure of GZT to provide services to their customers.
Those of you that purchased software from GZT do KNOW me and I have dealt fairly with you by providing you stellar service, which was contracted by GZT to provide for their customers via my company. To be fair, GZT provided good service to customers to about December of 2016. The issues can not be disclosed as they are related to health and would fall under HIPAA rules for disclosure. This has to come from Sean Kozak and NOT from any of the contractors. To be clear, our hands are legally tied as to what we can say or disclose.
This forum thread has become a kangaroo court where non-facts are promulgated by those who do now know or think they know.
GZT was founded in 2015, for the purpose of selling NinjaTrader addons to the public. I was one of the first set of purchasers of the software, which was SDVolume Zones. I have worked for large software companies and my expertise with software, development, large scale deployments is something that was needed by GZT.
I was asked by Sean to consider tech support since I knew the software as well as him. My company, of which you have mis-associated and bismirched has been in business since 2007 with a great reputation. Please get your facts right.
I, indeed, due to the pressure of a large user base did have health issues and I did resign in January 2017. Due to the contractual nature of the original agreement I was to train another tech support person during a period of 90 days which was the minimum number of days I had to fulfill to end the contract. As of April 14, 2017 I no longer had any contractual obligation to GZT, but I am under non-disclosure as part of the agreement.
Soon after I left, Sean failed to provide guidance to the remaining contractors. Attempts were made to continue servicing customers but the contractors finally resigned as of June 15 due to failure of GZT management to provide guidance, support to the contractors. You see, contractors are not really employees and can not act on behalf of the company. Sean has not allowed for disclosure. -- so stop kicking the cat and go to the source of the problem. -- GZT and Sean Kozak.
I have suggested via Skype contact to GZT to release all the software as Open Source so that all the customers can continue to use the software without licensing requirement. No answer from GZT on this venue.
All in all, I too am frustrated and not the ogre you paint, or the crook you imply. The issue with Sean has not been evident until 2017. He can only disclose the health issue and not any of the contractors or associates.
This is my disclosure as to the contract with GZT.
RJ5 Group LLC was under contractual agreement from January 2015 to provide services to Golden Zone Trading ("GZT"). RJ provided Tech Support for installation, software development and installers as contractor from RJ5 Group LLC. RJ5 Group LLC exercised their option to terminate contract services on January 15, 2017. Due to contractual agreement, RJ remained as contractor for 90 days and provided guidance to new support contractors. The last day under contract to Golden Zone Trading was April 14, 2017. RJ5 Group LLC and its staff and contractors no longer provide any services to Golden Zone Trading and are not responsible to any services or lack of service requests from GZT customers. Any issues arising from customers of GZT should be directed to GZT as they are the owners of the software and have distribution rights to the GZT software indicators for NinjaTrader.
