A Message from our Founder: Your Local Trading Expert
Welcome!
I’m Richard O. Zamora III; CMT - Global Market Raiders was founded right here in San Antonio, TX over 15 years ago. This city is not just our base of operations; it is the heart of our firm and the community we are dedicated to serving first.
While our proven, rules-based, in-person day trading classes now reach clients nationwide via our advanced online platform, our commitment to our local community—from aspiring beginner traders near Stone Oak to experienced professionals in Alamo Ranch and the wider 210 area—is and always will be our top priority.
This type of directional participation is the same market context measured in our Zamora Bias framework, which is used to reinforce bias and tradable conditions before entries.
Stop guessing. Build a decision process you can trust.
Most traders don’t need more indicators — they need a repeatable, rules-based framework that clarifies when conditions are tradable, when to stand down, and how to manage risk with confidence.
- Trades “feel right” but results stay inconsistent.
- Neutral days trigger overtrading and chopped-up P&L.
- Risk rules exist — until pressure breaks them.
- You can’t explain why a trade failed (or worked).
- Clear trade / no-trade criteria based on context.
- A repeatable execution plan with invalidation + risk rules.
- Fewer trades — higher quality decisions — less churn.
- Confidence rooted in method, not guesswork.
🤵 Founder's Authority & Expertise
Meet Richard O. Zamora III, CMT: The Founder's Assurance
Global Market Raiders LLC was founded by Richard O. Zamora III, CMT, driven by a lifelong passion for the financial markets that began in childhood. Richard took his academic excellence from Georgetown University and combined it with real-world entrepreneurial experience in the hospitality sector. This unique foundation—blending business ownership with time at major institutions like Bank of America and Washington Mutual Bank—gives him an edge in understanding market dynamics and disciplined business strategy.
The turning point was the 2008 financial crisis, which crystallized a vision: tragic times often yielded profound opportunities for the prepared. This led Richard to establish Global Market Raiders and dedicate himself to the profession of day trading.
"My greatest pleasure is seeing clients recognize their ability to become financially independent in a profession where every day is new."
Certified Expertise You Can Trust
Richard's commitment to verifiable expertise is the foundation of the CMT Guarantee.
- CMT Charterholder Since 2015: Richard completed the rigorous Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program, the global standard for technical analysis, ensuring your training is rooted in verified professional expertise.
- Regulated Financial Background: His experience includes being a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), highlighting his comprehensive training and regulated approach to the financial industry.
- The Mission: Every course is offered with the singular motivation of empowering others to achieve the financial independence that day trading makes possible.
How We Define Market Bias & Participation (Before Entries)
Most futures traders don’t lose because they “need more indicators” — they lose because entries are taken without confirming whether directional participation is present. Our education-first methodology focuses on context before entries: identify when conditions are tradable, then execute with disciplined risk management.
How our education is reinforced
Our proprietary NinjaTrader indicators are developed as part of our education-first trading methodology to reinforce structure, bias, and market context. Learn more about our education-driven development approach →
To reinforce this framework, we built proprietary tools that make market context easier to read. The flagship tool is the Zamora Bias Indicator — designed to support decision-making by highlighting bias and participation context (not by promising “signals” or guaranteed outcomes).
Note: Global Market Raiders LLC develops independent educational tools for futures traders.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do you teach Micro E-Mini contracts in San Antonio?

Q: Why don't you publish client testimonials or reviews on your website?
We prioritize the confidentiality and privacy of our clients. Our training is built on the foundation of the CMT Guarantee and led by a CMT chartholder. While our courses are for educational purposes only, Richard's comprehensive professional background—which includes the ability to act as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA)—demands the highest standard of professional and ethical conduct in every lesson.
This approach ensures client privacy while allowing serious prospects to gain full confidence in our proprietary system.
Where most traders struggle is not access to information, but structure, context, and accountability. Free material is fragmented, often contradictory, and rarely teaches when not to trade, how to assess directional participation, or how to align analysis, execution, and risk inside a rules-based framework.
GMR’s role — delivered directly by the founder — is not to replace self-study. It’s to compress the learning curve, reduce costly trial-and-error, and provide professional structure built around market context before entries.
Final Step: Clarify Your Next Move
The next step is a Trading Assessment designed to clarify where you are, what’s holding you back, and what your most effective path forward looks like.
