But iman what about ________ channel? The title of the video and 7 seconds into it is telling you that this video applies to EVERY trading figure. That's the point of the video. Stop paying money for things that can be learned for free. If it worked by itself, we'd automate it. Go here - www.imantrading.org/ Exposing frauds playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL030LJ89axRyifjAm9DGtNPRjVwrABKKo.html Video specifically about me, my trading, and my channels: ua-cam.com/video/xkYA5nCrgbE/v-deo.html (I'm now on multiple prop firm payouts from 3 different firms, go here to see more on that - www.imantrading.org/prop-firms ) "Okay, they're not profitable, but their videos helped me." You've made progress in trading because of the work you've put in, not because some UA-camr showed you where to draw lines and rectangles on a chart (which has 0 predictive power on its own, and proof on that here: ua-cam.com/video/994Rv9UXi9Q/v-deo.html ).
a lot of fakes out there. though there are some like Relentless Trader and Trading Farmer in small cap space who live stream every day for hours and they are obviously not on sim accounts(for example you cant market order on sim on TOS). also they show plenty of days when they are red. the issue from Ross Cameron's stuff from everything I known that its way overpriced given the success ratio of students. truth is even best 'legit' courses still will be very hard to make money and you need time and talent to make it work and his isn't even the best small cap material out there for newbies and its way overpriced(hence the FTC cracked down on him).
I really want you to do a video breakdown on Kevin Grego, of The Safety Trade System. He claims his system predicts the future and has over 99% win rate. You feel like you're in an abusive relationship, he's the abuser. Lol.
Most if not all of these accounts are just copy/paste off each other. A quick 5 minutes doing some investigation will easily show how similar all their videos are…and they usually just re-upload and regurgitate the same stuff. The first things I thought when I started watching trading videos on UA-cam was, “Why are they selling “How To” courses and only showing results from practice accounts?”. People falling for these and spending money is crazy. Common sense isn’t so common I guess. Thanks for your hard work!
I could see, Do it like Skool Earn lifetime by inv someone or my way Lifetime $200 Free for all the info and what it shows $5/m for basics and live trading $50/M for me showing my setups and helping a group out That would make it where you're helping and mainly focus on trading Courses on my website be free if you have lifetime And free ones for beginners, what they need to learn Pay more if you want to know stocks Better by my hands Cheap but active
@@spreadwuvokay if someone has hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank with the possibility to flip more anytime they want, you really think they'd go out of their way to patiently market products to sell? You undermine the laziness of humans
@@TradingJourney_40s That's what I think as well. If you're gonna make money from trading, why not make more by having people pay to watch you do it? Also, there are people in the world who just want to share their level of success with others so that they can achieve the same.
Iman/Eeman means Faith. Are you a Muslim? If so, then know that selling that which one does not possess like electronic commodities, or futures, or shorting is Haram. Leverage (loaning from the broker which includes interest) is Haram. The only legally way is to by shares from a company that sells lawful things, like tech companies and that they are not financed by banks or bonds but by equity. As for forex and gold and silver, it has to be hand to hand otherwise Riba An-Nasee'ah. Opriins are Hatam. CFDs are gambling and Haram. So, if a person obeys Allah ﷻ, then he will be protected from scammers and market crashes. And his Hereafter will be safe. Because on Yawm Al-Qiyamah (Day of Judgement), everyone will be asked how did you earn? From Halal (lawful) or Haram (unlawful)? And where did you spend it: on Haram (unlawful) or Halal (lawful)? Allah سبحانه وتعالى said, وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ And whosoever is saved from the greed of his own Nafs (innerself), then they are the successful ones. [At-Taghabun 64:16]
I can't believe how many things you pointed out that are traits of my current guru Moneyvest. My gut told me things I was reluctant to admit and until you pointed them out I let them slide. With your mentions of some new tactics, bells went off. The ones I realized on my own was "I'm opening up some new positions so hurry" and ""This offer expires in 3 days" then after 4 days the same offer opens up. EACH MONTH. Wow. I thought it was just accepted salesmanship.If they do just one solid recognizable scam---why wouldn't they do more. My eyes are more open and looking.Thank you sincerely, A new subscriber.
Doesn’t UA-cam automatically insert ads in a general category so beyond allowing a category that’s where the control of the ads content ends. I could be wrong but I thought it operates that way.
@@bsewart8507 Whether it's automatic or not, Google is ultimately responsible for being the middleman for scammer and any other weirdos that use their ads in a predatory fashion.
Thank you so much, mate! I am just diving into the world of Forex Trading world, & you have just opened my eyes to a lot of the people I have been watching & listening to these past 2 weeks. I am 100% new to trading & you have shown me these guys have tried to sell me false hope (I haven't paid for anything from anyone). Thank you for waking me up. I like how you are blunt, straightforward & stand up for your beliefs, helping others who actually have a brain. You are the GOAT.
Same here. If you are interested in courses you can download them for free. Just type the channel name course download free. Some websites give it for free some ask $20.
There’s so many free trading tips, I actually advise watching them and trying some of the strategies. Once you’ve gone through this entire process and understand trading. Sit at the charts and figure out your own technique, my technique would not work for someone else, trading is a very personal thing. Every strategy should be adapted to yourself, chart time is key, trying and failing is key - just do it in practice accounts first
I watched a couple of your videos. Could almost immediately sense some sort of honesty in your voice and your jokes. Transparency seems to be a blessing in todays world. I hate when i listen to someone and they sound like they're trying to sell me on the legitamacy of their statements. love y'all people who speak what they truly believe to be true and i hope that there's reason for honesty in this world
Thank you. I've watched a few of these "guru" videos of day traders. I am 66 years old, retired, with disposable money, and the reason I have extra money is because I have never fallen for these peoples gimmicks/cons. Trading can bring you extra income, and has for me, but, there are no tricks, no shortcuts, and no mystery. You just have to put in the work, keep on top of the news, and when you "feel" something will go up on the exchange, then stop! Don't jump, first do all your homework, and pick stocks that have a proven history. The homework will help you buy the dip...but never try to go for the very bottom for the buy, or you'll miss out, never wait to sell until the very top, because it will pass you by in seconds. If your consistent, and not overly greedy, then you will seldom lose money and should be happy with every win, no matter how small or big.
@@luisecheverry8617Yes, that's the old adage isn't it. But is it cheap? Is it expensive? You only really know wether it was or wasn't after the event. In my own experience I would say possibly a good approach would be to imagine where you would normally want to buy or sell and then where you would put your stop. Then do nothing till price would have drawn you in to a trade then reverses to where your stop would have been, ie where you would have been stopped out and only then place your trade. Reverse thinking basically.
@@luisecheverry8617 bad idea, you don't know where the lowest or highest are, if you buy at X and it goes down, your gonna lose some money. same with shorting.
Honestly speaking, i just assume everyone is on some bs. The information they give is actually quite useful for learning so i just take pieces from everywhere until i have a trading plan that works for me.
@mhawks same here, just take a bit of each info, and use what's suits your needs and personality . I watch a lot of Ross, you can folow him live and he's great at explaining how the markets works and what to look out for.
@@900one Absolutely, I know of many that are legit and I can tell you that they dont flaunt their cars, houses, and vacations to Dubai. The trading industry is mostly snake oil, and its so easy for scammers with no morals to scam beginners that have no clue what they are doing....
" Are doing something special, or have unique talents, NO! Charisma is quantifiable and manipulation is a moral crossroad whose pad is an easy choice for me. " This one hit deep
I am in my fifth year of developing myself as a day trader. Now I am not profitable nor loosing much. Progress from being looser most of the times is huge, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel now. It took about a year to find out myself that almost all the ‘gurus’ are frauds, but I have really learned from all of them and incorporated in my strategy. Like the old saying ‘A wise man can learn from a fool’ Thank you, Iman for your work!
you're research and work of putting all of this together for us is invaluable! And thanks for keeping the light-hearted humour! if there is any one else besides you out there, who's work you appreciate I'd be curious to know.
I saw one huge guru casually show his huge loses on his newest video...while talking in front of a mansion. They are getting more clever with their deception after being exposed.
What a great video!!! This should be posted everywhere. So many scammers out there and way too many influencers. I'm trading full-time now for 2 years and I promise you don't go into it. It's one of the hardest things I did. The only way to learn is to try it yourself and fail, fail, fail, and even then you might not be profitable. We are designed to loose with trading, the market or the house always wins in the long run! Well done with this video exposing all these fake people trading!
I've tried several different paid discords over the years and EVERY SINGLE ONE was a scam!! The "lead trader" constantly posts losing trades and any wins are negated by a slew of losses. And yes, they never post their yearly brokerage statements. Anyone who has a trading room is A SCAMMER!!
I still on eval for almost 6 months rn, haven't passed it but haven't blown it up either lol... ups and downs in equity graph but at least I still breakeven trader, its a good thing for me since I just 1+ year experience...
bro this hit hard. ive gotten funded 7 different times in 2023 and i blew all of them. i even got to the point where i could withdrawl 2k from my funded account all i had to do was request the withdraw and i still blew the account. psycology is everything in this game. strategy is only 10%
Thank you, Iam a beginner trader who was watching these videos, thanks for setting me on the right path. I hope to be profitable long-term, so I hope to have an update after a year or so. Keep up the good work🎉
I have so much empathy for what you're forced to endure, trying to help people, who just don't want to see the truth about someone. I'm finding myself in the same boat and its like hitting my head against a wall , at this stage I'm with you, just get rid of the 4y old :P Know that you are immensely appreciated by those of us for whom the truth still means something. You are a good person, world needs more like you /hug
Thank you Iman for your honesty and integrity. It takes 100x more effort to expose these scammers than to just join the bandwagon and profit from it. But I can assure you that you will have more to gain from educating the public and exposing these individuals than to be a part of it.
One thing I’ve asked myself from a few of these people is, if they’re actual millionaires why are their computers or houses look crappy as if they’re working 9-5 jobs
Well that is not always a good benchmark. Look at the streamer asmongold who is a multi millionaire and ceo while living in a moldy, roach infested dump.
This is why I started my channel. Wanted to put out free content that highlights the AVERAGE futures trader's journey. Its not glorious or fast. It is a slow and steady process that influencers and famous trading youtubers often do not teach because they would have to post their losing days and hurt their egos. Also, ACTUAL strictly educational videos do not get nearly as many views as "I MADE $50,000 in One Day!" videos that don't even highlight how they got that money or even show their PnL for the day. Thanks Iman for the great video and keeping it real. Best of luck in the trading in the next coming year brother!
you are definitely on the right track Iman, I have just started trading in options recently, and it didn't take long to realize that this is no get rich quick vehicle. soo many "gurus" out there make it look to easy and then grift you into paying for a course or discourse which simply generates subscription and you tube income. In my opinion, and again, I'm just a brand new trader so take this with a grain of salt. however It's the people like you that are grounded in reality, and acknowledge that learning and applying yourself and not looking for shortcuts are going to be the true winners in the long run. - keep up the good work, maybe you will save many people hard earned money.😃
I agree with @patrickrundle3532, firstly good work, this is the first video I've come across of yours and I hope more people see it. I have been trading in cryptos since 2017, recently getting into ETFs etcs.. , I have been trough a lot of tough learning lessons, not with gurus, just making my own mistakes along the way. If I can add to what patrick was saying here, I would suggest, any money that you are willing to spend on a guru, take that money and go trade with it. Rather lose that money by learning the hard way. Lose your money and pay your school fees, but paying someone to do the work for you, and then they run off with your money is pointless. You haven't learnt a thing... I lost money to leverage, you know what I do today? I don't use leverage :'D those school fees were well spent, and it didn't go to a guru. Anyway, keep up the good work, I'll watch more of someone grounded in reality than listening to another pump and dump promotion any day of the week :)
The people who made money on the gold rush weren't the gold miners - it was the people selling shovels and picks. I always figured truly profitable traders would be too busy trading to set up a social media empire. There's also the little objection that, if they're that profitable, then they would have to be pulling from a limited pool of profitable setups available at any one time. If I have such a hugely profitable setup, why would I go train a bunch of competition for the available opportunities?
The real journey of a trader sucks but it's very rewarding in the long term if you stick with it. If you're selling anything or posting videos about it, especially to flaunt your profits then most likely you're selling a pipe dream. The hard work, time and dedication will not come from any of these guys but yourself. Some spect few will guide you in the right direction though but that's it. Unfortunately, new people in the space will go with it as we go with whatever is shiniest. What's crazy is that even though they are new then they should have common sense to ask "why" or "how" since it's their hard earned money they are risking. Guess everyone wants it easy. You live and learn I guess. Good stuff on the vid though.
Couldn't agree more. A long and lonely journey. Not easy at all with your mind trying to betray you all the time. You have to transform yourself into another person (better) to be a profitable trader.
I'm continually saddened every time to see how scrupulous and evil people can be too their fellow humans. Just for money. It's very depressing how low humanity can go.
Keep up the good work man. Glad to see my review there still standing after all the attempts to have it removed. Its sad that too many, after being scammed, don’t go and write a similar review which might help others avoid the scam
Great research, perfect logic, and entertaining delivery - this is the best trading-related video I came across in a long, long time. Charge on! Cheers!
Iman...love this video. First time I have heard someone in the investment world actually call out these scams. Keep up the great work...go smash those scams !
Hey, thanks for this video. I am a prime target for most of these guru's. A guy with a regular job, trying to get out of the rat race. I have some disposable income, but I don't have time. So, I am starved for any shortcut that will help me make extra money. I probably fall for 2 or 3 of these programs a year. Your video specifically talks about Trading Guru's, but there are other Guru's that have turned me into another notch on their wallet only to be thrown away after hitting me up for 4 or 5 hundred dollars. Again, thank you.
We all know how hard it is to navigate this space as a beginning (day) trader. Liking this video can literally prevent new traders from being exposed to these scammers. Please like and share it so we can protect them from these scummy fraudsters.
Thank you. Finally, someone had the gall to expose just the "tip" of the iceberg. This is great. Thank you again! You're an asset to the youtube community !
been trading for a couple years myself, still learning, and yes, my policy is, if you're good at trading you don't need to sell ANYTHING, you wouldn't need to, for Iman to put it out in the open and say that these gurus target new traders, it's legit
How are you going with your trade? I still believe trading is "true" but it is really hard, not impossible. I learn, hard way, UA-cam has a lot smoke seller in this industry. Also, I believe this is the only teaching where teacher make more money than student 😂
Even as a profitable trader I would still wanna teach,it’s a free bag with little to no investment…the only investment really was your time spent on the charts
I've heard it takes on average 7 years for a trading to achieve profitability. So you still have time for sure. I am in my 4th year, and am still definitely up and down in my performance.
@@Vourneit takes 40% winrate with 1:2 to become profitable not years. Stupid folks keep repeating same mistakes and for the next decade or so they still won’t be profitable. Until math is mathing, unprofitables stay unprofitable.
I started trading for like 3 month now after 9 month of watching different videos courses on youtube and etc .. the funny thing is that after a while i watched these videos then it was like im watching same videos over and over again, and new traders cant help themselves (im still new myself) cause they want to learn how to make money and make it fast. At the end of the day you trade however you are comfortable, supply and demand support and resistance they are all the same thing, ,this is what i noticed and i started making profits by understanding this. Don't pay for something that is available for free on internet. I loved this video, keep on the great work and keep exposing these gurus ❤️
So moral of the story is don't trust anyone on YT. Just because someone is selling you something that does not mean it is not worth it. A lot of people want quick success without doing the work and investing the time, they are the ones easily fooled by fake guru's. A lot of courses are not worth it, but a FACT is that when we pay for things we are more inclined to take action and put in effort. 🕵♀
Trading cannot be so mysteriously complex that it takes countless videos over many years to explain every strategy and aspect of trading. The very fact that all of these traders/gurus/scammers are posting a never ending series of trading videos on their UA-cam channels for years should be a clear sign that they are just looking to build an audience to sell their courses to. We’re living in the age of content and algorithms, after all.
Tanks so much for your time and effort to expose these frauds. I followed two of them and i'm just so happy to have found your channel. You are inspiring and i think very honest. Please keep up.the good work. Happy New Year everyone!!!
The point is, no one is a 100 percent winner, you just learn a strategy, and then try to use it. There is no one who can teach you how to be profitable. I'm a developer and there is no way I can learn someone the way I'm coding. It's all experience
You are an absolute God sent my good sir. I had almost fallen into this guru trap, but my intuition told me the people were fake, and so I kept looking and now here you are. I can tell with certainly that you are an intelligent and kindhearted person, you are also personable and humorous making for, not only an informative, but an entertaining video as well. Thank you for sharing, you have earned a new loyal subscriber.
I'm glad you made this, I find it very difficult to even find the right content to even learn and study from nowadays, so much content is being release and flooded about forex that even a beginner wouldn't know where to begin.
Thanks for the video. After two years Im starting to see profitability. Whats weird about my journey is that I've thrown out a lot of bullshit I've learned over the course of two years and try to keep it super simple. I look at the market more of a coin toss and focus on strict risk management that includes a hard stop. Thanks for your point of view. New subscriber here.
Sounds like Nick Shawn's strategy. Keep things simple and focus on controlling risk. Strategy doesn't matter. Trading is about how you make sure you win more than what you lose. Cut losing trades short before they get bigger. Add to winning trades in a proper way so that you don't expose your trade to more than the initial 1R risk.
I literally know absolutely nothing about this world. But I’ve been looking into it a bit today and THIS video is the most informative. You’re such a good researcher and content creator 👏🏽
Solid video, but Ross Cameron is legit. Been following him for years. His momentum strategy isn't groundbreaking, but he does go through it thoroughly and it does return profit. Sucks for the folks that bought his system and still couldn't find consistent profit, but I will remind you these folks that failed, are in the mass majority.
@@chikinboru597 send an email to Ross, to find out yourself. So you don't get 50 different answers from the haters.....the morons probably tried to copy him while watching and lost, so they discovered a crack in law and sued him..... now he covers his ass with a new disclaimer.
@@Wantedonesw Warrior Trading made misleading and unrealistic claims that its day trading "system" would result in big investment gains for customers.. he's more careful with what he says now.
But why hes not able to disclose his statements? Think about it. These Gurus are often very good in what they are doing so guys like you can spend years with them without getting caught.
Exactly, you don't buy from them, you get the relevant basic trading ideas and information, choose the ones you need from rational reasoning....and then move on to learning by yourself.
great video Iman , i was curious if there are any trading channels you would actually recommend following ( asides from Tom Hougaard which you mentioned in the video that you think he is one of the few public traders that appears to be an actual profitable trader ) also what sources do you recommend for learning the fundamentals of price action ? i was thinking of Buying a course from Al brooks as he does not appear to be a guru from what i can tell however after watching many of your videos i do not know what to think anymore , thanks .
Don't buy a course from Brooks yet unless you watch his youtube videos and am prepared for his incredibly slow and stiff style. Dude is a genius, but I have a hard time staying awake. Price Action guys on youtube - Brooks Trading Course (Al Brooks), PATsTrading (Mack), Thomas Wade, MarketLife (Adam Grimes). Good luck.
Man, you have excellent time-management and multitasking skills, trading, diggging out shit and exposing "gurus" at the same time. Any plans to make a playlist of authentic, proved successful traders on youtube?
I love you my guy, keep up the good work. You are truly inspirational and a role model, and honestly the only one I can think of making honest content in this sector of UA-cam.
Another easy way to verify if they don't like releasing broker statements is simply ask them to cleary go through 50 trade setups in the future, laying out their stop loss, profit target and then see how many of those 50 trades work out.
Wow I don't usually post comments, but I do have to thank you for shedding light on some of these gurus, I actually started off using UA-cam as a means of learning to trade, and sure it can definitely teach you the basics but that should be it. And looking back at all the UA-camrs that I watched hours of videos on trading, now look way less like traders but marketers. And as you said that's literally what they are, marketers not traders. It's actually very easy to miss if you don't know how to spot it. Another thing I realized, I had a buddy starting off trading, and you know the first source of information he starting using? ICT.
Thanks for making this video. Keep doing what you're doing - it is the right thing. Unfortunately trading attracted way too many bad apples that self proclaim to be the experts/gurus when they're less than clown making entertainment vids on UA-cam.
I just came across your video and you've finally confirmed this for me I've only been doing this 2 years still the beginning stage but I've always felt something is off I was one of those ppl that got lead in by the 0 to $5000 in 2 hour like videos thankfully I stuck to my word and never bought into anyone's program even tho I'm still learning I've always felt like it was fraud or they just big cappin
Just because someone sells a course or a fidget doesn’t mean someone else has to buy it. We all have choices to make and take responsibility for it. I learned many things from many channels and I am thankful to plethora of information out there. If someone cannot discern a marketing pitch, it’s more on them than on who’s selling. It’s like not trusting a car salesman .. but still being able to get a right car with right discernment.
Thanks for this video. You are not the only one not claiming profitability. I am a trader in training and I Livestream every day on this channel 😁I Show my winning, my losing, and frustrating days. Also, don't sell sh*tty courses, everything I make with the channel (almost zero) goes to buy gears and improve my hardware. I do funded accounts and have blown a lot of them, now I am more conservative with position sizing so I don't blow them again. Trading is not easy by any means and putting in the necessary work is I think the only thing that will make you better. No new course or new trading strategy.
Love how you promote discretion in trading and that any strategy can be profitable through discretion, instead of making videos about another “holy grail” strategy, that will keep yet another trader in a never ending loop of trying to find a perfect strategy. There aren’t many channels talking about the importance of experience and intuition. The only 2 that I have found so far is you and Nick Shawn. Subbed to both now. Keep up the good work, you’re the light in this big dark tunnel.
I had a feeling that some of these people he's talking about in this video were to good to be true. I've watched most of those people's videos. I'm new to the game and learning from Gregory Mannarino and Johnny Bravo here in YT. In my opinion, those two are the only ones that seem real trustworthy, and I think I just found a third with this guy.
I came across Nick Shawn too and I noticed he does say the same things as Iman Trading (that it comes down to experience and intuition etc), which made me trust him. But then I see, it seems like he's selling courses too, tho he doesn't promote it in the same way most scammers do. That alone doesn't mean you're a scammer anyway but I can never be too careful especially in this industry.. so Nick Shawn really is legit too ye?
I wish you could tell us which traders should we learn from because all these people who mentioned i watch their videos and finding this about them is disappointing and upsetting. Thank you for exposing them🙏🏽
I learned a lot from Ron Walker. He does a daily technical analysis. He won't sell you anything. He does not tell you what or to buy or sell. Watch him at 1.5x speed. I have been watching him for over a year, and he has been mostly accurate.
@@4dscdriver you right. One thing is for sure when you spend most of your time on negativity instead of actually putting in effort into studying and back testing what the guru is saying is true or not. ICT for example has traded live and ppl have even copied his trade to pass accounts. I have traded ICT strategy and made over 100% ROI, but guess what you can loose all that if you not discipline. So this does not mean the concepts don’t work and he’s a fraud but it on you for not being disciplined. I’m in a social group where we all trade ICT concepts post and share ideas. There are trade recap on both losses and wins. ICT is real and I’m not dick ridding, because I have actually put in the effort and I’m not the only one so.
That joke about the 4 year old at the end was hilarious and worth the wait. I’m not gonna time stamp it because it’s a good reward for “making it” to the end 😂
I belive, and have watched TJR from him going from nothing to something. Sure he sells stuff, but hes tracked everything, and gives out free education.
Funny how I recently started digging into trading videos and I was wondering why it’s hard to find live trades and why does every trading “guru” always have something to sell at the end of their videos. I was thinking if you really make millions if not hundreds of thousands why do you need to sell anything if you make a killing off of trading…. and sure enough this video gets recommended. Thank you for exposing these schemes 🙏🏽
I watched this cause i saw TJR in the thumbnail but he wasn't directly mentioned in the video(that I noticed at least) but now I'm wondering if he's included in this group of people cause he posts all of his trades in recaps and streams all of his trades to his free discord(that he's closed now) but it does still make me wonder because he gives out all of the necessary trading information in his youtube videos for free and makes clear in his videos and from people who have taken his course that the mastermind course is directly working with him for unique situations where someone might want a more direct or one-on-one learning environment
this video is just bait, I am new to TJR and so far he’s been really informative - FOR FREE. My friend introduced me to him after I saw him making thousands in bets
Its a bait. Juste for the putaclic. Also you see that he mentionned his channel as the most "100% true and transparent" so with this video he promote his channel too. Some of the youtubers he mentionned are Real scammers but not all on the picture
Hey Iman, everything that you said that made me mad was true, thank you for your time and effort, especially that video that you worked on for a really long time, it was a masterpiece. Thank you also for your help in my trading as I as well cannot claim to be consistently profitable. Take care!
Just started my trading journey and I've watched a few of these guys lol glad I haven't bought anything....but as a novice the basic info I received was helpful it brought everything I've read and studied to life....thanks for the vid
I recently switched to futures and it is awesome to see you try getting profitable same time as me. Your spitting facts nonstop and are 110% transparent! Its like a cool breeze on a hot day!
There is no quick gains in futures nor any other market. Futures do offer low commisions and high leverage. Also pretty much instant fills on market orders so you dont loose money on spreads.@@JakeSlaughterr
Futures for me simplifies my trading -- started in small cap world and hated it having to constantly search for the next runner/parabolic/gap up/ manipulation etc ...then went to options to minimize the number of charts to look at and get accustomed to looking at those 1 or 2 charts...then wanted to get rid of the greeks involved with options trading once I found out about futures.@@JakeSlaughterr
The funded account part made me realise that ppl actually believe that they’re consistently profitable already once they get funded? Damn ppl are dreamers…. Also Iman you’re 1 year since u started your trading journey? Good on you for videos like these to educate people more. And it’s very expected that you’re not profitable one year in, that’s as expected, isn’t it a couple years at least. Thanks for ur efforts for making this vid!
Loved this! Planning on starting my own trading channel to document my learning process. What should I be disclosing so that people can see that these are legit trades?
Iman, it was a pleasure to watch your videos, although I was skeptical from the beginning, you blew the top off the whole fake Guru thing!!!! Kudos to yourself and the parents that raised you. You have more morals and ethics in your Lil pinky, than the rest of the entire You Tube Trading Community combined. Karma is a bitch, a lot of these cockroaches will reincarnate as 💩 dung beetles. Belated Merry Xmas and Happy new year. You have saved thousands of noobies from the piles of shit 💩 that claim to be profitable traders. Thx you for your efforts on our behalf!!! 🎉🎉
I think why people who follow ICT's strategy or any guru's strategy think that it works is because they only trade takes when certain things happens, so it's like flipping a coin, and when you do that many times, your are expected to make money at least 50% of the time and sometimes if you're lucky you make more winning trades then losing, and with good risk to reward ANY strategy works. It's just that simple, so flipping a coin to go long or short is as valid as ICT's strategy or any other guru's strategy. Good work Iman
I think you are the one that this industry needed for many years. Really appreciate your job and effort. And I hope you will find some way to copy or clone yourself because we really need more people like you !
Thanks. It's difficult sometimes to think objectively with the algorithm forcing us in a certain direction. I'm desperate and only see what I want to see. Frequent reality checks are much appreciated.
Love your video, man! Honest question though, do we not like Ross Cameron? I would never pay for memberships or any of that but he seems like the most normal of the CCs out there. 😂
One funny thing that Ricky Gutierrez does is if you click on all his videos it's literally either a thumbnail of him with his hand by his mouth in a scared look or he has a picture of Powell and all of the video headlines are about the market crashing. It's not even like he does this for a month straight. Literally its the same recycling of videos over a year.
Incredible video man. I've been looking for a channel like yours that's 10x more transparent than everyone else. When you said I can learn everything for free I realized I need to stop doubting myself. Incredible.
But iman what about ________ channel? The title of the video and 7 seconds into it is telling you that this video applies to EVERY trading figure. That's the point of the video.
Stop paying money for things that can be learned for free. If it worked by itself, we'd automate it. Go here - www.imantrading.org/

Can you plss make video on trade hub 3.0 , if he's legit or not
a lot of fakes out there. though there are some like Relentless Trader and Trading Farmer in small cap space who live stream every day for hours and they are obviously not on sim accounts(for example you cant market order on sim on TOS). also they show plenty of days when they are red.
the issue from Ross Cameron's stuff from everything I known that its way overpriced given the success ratio of students.
truth is even best 'legit' courses still will be very hard to make money and you need time and talent to make it work and his isn't even the best small cap material out there for newbies and its way overpriced(hence the FTC cracked down on him).
I really want you to do a video breakdown on Kevin Grego, of The Safety Trade System. He claims his system predicts the future and has over 99% win rate.
You feel like you're in an abusive relationship, he's the abuser. Lol.
Most if not all of these accounts are just copy/paste off each other. A quick 5 minutes doing some investigation will easily show how similar all their videos are…and they usually just re-upload and regurgitate the same stuff. The first things I thought when I started watching trading videos on UA-cam was, “Why are they selling “How To” courses and only showing results from practice accounts?”. People falling for these and spending money is crazy. Common sense isn’t so common I guess. Thanks for your hard work!
I mean I don't see why you can't do both? They aren't like at odds with each other necessarily.

@@TradingJourney_40s That's what I think as well. If you're gonna make money from trading, why not make more by having people pay to watch you do it?

Iman/Eeman means Faith. Are you a Muslim? If so, then know that selling that which one does not possess like electronic commodities, or futures, or shorting is Haram. Leverage (loaning from the broker which includes interest) is Haram. The only legally way is to by shares from a company that sells lawful things, like tech companies and that they are not financed by banks or bonds but by equity. As for forex and gold and silver, it has to be hand to hand otherwise Riba An-Nasee'ah. Opriins are Hatam. CFDs are gambling and Haram. So, if a person obeys Allah ﷻ, then he will be protected from scammers and market crashes. And his Hereafter will be safe. Because on Yawm Al-Qiyamah (Day of Judgement), everyone will be asked how did you earn? From Halal (lawful) or Haram (unlawful)? And where did you spend it: on Haram (unlawful) or Halal (lawful)?
Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
And whosoever is saved from the greed of his own Nafs (innerself), then they are the successful ones. [At-Taghabun 64:16]

I can't believe how many things you pointed out that are traits of my current guru Moneyvest. My gut told me things I was reluctant to admit and until you pointed them out I let them slide. With your mentions of some new tactics, bells went off. The ones I realized on my own was "I'm opening up some new positions so hurry" and ""This offer expires in 3 days" then after 4 days the same offer opens up. EACH MONTH. Wow. I thought it was just accepted salesmanship.If they do just one solid recognizable scam---why wouldn't they do more. My eyes are more open and looking.Thank you sincerely, A new subscriber.

What's really ironic is, UA-cam ran 3 day trading, "get rich" ads while you're exposing the scammers.
Doesn’t UA-cam automatically insert ads in a general category so beyond allowing a category that’s where the control of the ads content ends. I could be wrong but I thought it operates that way.

There’s so many free trading tips, I actually advise watching them and trying some of the strategies. Once you’ve gone through this entire process and understand trading. Sit at the charts and figure out your own technique, my technique would not work for someone else, trading is a very personal thing. Every strategy should be adapted to yourself, chart time is key, trying and failing is key - just do it in practice accounts first
I watched a couple of your videos. Could almost immediately sense some sort of honesty in your voice and your jokes. Transparency seems to be a blessing in todays world. I hate when i listen to someone and they sound like they're trying to sell me on the legitamacy of their statements. love y'all people who speak what they truly believe to be true and i hope that there's reason for honesty in this world
Thank you. I've watched a few of these "guru" videos of day traders. I am 66 years old, retired, with disposable money, and the reason I have extra money is because I have never fallen for these peoples gimmicks/cons. Trading can bring you extra income, and has for me, but, there are no tricks, no shortcuts, and no mystery. You just have to put in the work, keep on top of the news, and when you "feel" something will go up on the exchange, then stop! Don't jump, first do all your homework, and pick stocks that have a proven history. The homework will help you buy the dip...but never try to go for the very bottom for the buy, or you'll miss out, never wait to sell until the very top, because it will pass you by in seconds. If your consistent, and not overly greedy, then you will seldom lose money and should be happy with every win, no matter how small or big.
I thought it made sense to buy at the lowest and sell at the highest? can you explain please…
@@luisecheverry8617Yes, that's the old adage isn't it.
But is it cheap?
Is it expensive?
You only really know wether it was or wasn't after the event. In my own experience I would say possibly a good approach would be to imagine where you would normally want to buy or sell and then where you would put your stop. Then do nothing till price would have drawn you in to a trade then reverses to where your stop would have been, ie where you would have been stopped out and only then place your trade.
Reverse thinking basically.

What a great video!!! This should be posted everywhere. So many scammers out there and way too many influencers. I'm trading full-time now for 2 years and I promise you don't go into it. It's one of the hardest things I did. The only way to learn is to try it yourself and fail, fail, fail, and even then you might not be profitable. We are designed to loose with trading, the market or the house always wins in the long run! Well done with this video exposing all these fake people trading!
I've tried several different paid discords over the years and EVERY SINGLE ONE was a scam!! The "lead trader" constantly posts losing trades and any wins are negated by a slew of losses. And yes, they never post their yearly brokerage statements. Anyone who has a trading room is A SCAMMER!!

This is why I started my channel. Wanted to put out free content that highlights the AVERAGE futures trader's journey. Its not glorious or fast. It is a slow and steady process that influencers and famous trading youtubers often do not teach because they would have to post their losing days and hurt their egos. Also, ACTUAL strictly educational videos do not get nearly as many views as "I MADE $50,000 in One Day!" videos that don't even highlight how they got that money or even show their PnL for the day. Thanks Iman for the great video and keeping it real. Best of luck in the trading in the next coming year brother!

you are definitely on the right track Iman, I have just started trading in options recently, and it didn't take long to realize that this is no get rich quick vehicle. soo many "gurus" out there make it look to easy and then grift you into paying for a course or discourse which simply generates subscription and you tube income. In my opinion, and again, I'm just a brand new trader so take this with a grain of salt. however It's the people like you that are grounded in reality, and acknowledge that learning and applying yourself and not looking for shortcuts are going to be the true winners in the long run. - keep up the good work, maybe you will save many people hard earned money.😃
I agree with @patrickrundle3532, firstly good work, this is the first video I've come across of yours and I hope more people see it. I have been trading in cryptos since 2017, recently getting into ETFs etcs.. , I have been trough a lot of tough learning lessons, not with gurus, just making my own mistakes along the way. If I can add to what patrick was saying here, I would suggest, any money that you are willing to spend on a guru, take that money and go trade with it. Rather lose that money by learning the hard way. Lose your money and pay your school fees, but paying someone to do the work for you, and then they run off with your money is pointless. You haven't learnt a thing... I lost money to leverage, you know what I do today? I don't use leverage :'D those school fees were well spent, and it didn't go to a guru. Anyway, keep up the good work, I'll watch more of someone grounded in reality than listening to another pump and dump promotion any day of the week :)
Appreciate you taking the time out to make this video 💯
The people who made money on the gold rush weren't the gold miners - it was the people selling shovels and picks. I always figured truly profitable traders would be too busy trading to set up a social media empire. There's also the little objection that, if they're that profitable, then they would have to be pulling from a limited pool of profitable setups available at any one time. If I have such a hugely profitable setup, why would I go train a bunch of competition for the available opportunities?
Exactly
Man you have been shedding light on these frauds for a while now. Thank you for doing God’s work!
Congrats for the 100k subscribers 🎉🎉🎉 hope you continue doing honest videos about the community.
The real journey of a trader sucks but it's very rewarding in the long term if you stick with it. If you're selling anything or posting videos about it, especially to flaunt your profits then most likely you're selling a pipe dream. The hard work, time and dedication will not come from any of these guys but yourself. Some spect few will guide you in the right direction though but that's it. Unfortunately, new people in the space will go with it as we go with whatever is shiniest. What's crazy is that even though they are new then they should have common sense to ask "why" or "how" since it's their hard earned money they are risking. Guess everyone wants it easy. You live and learn I guess.
Good stuff on the vid though.
Couldn't agree more. A long and lonely journey. Not easy at all with your mind trying to betray you all the time. You have to transform yourself into another person (better) to be a profitable trader.
I'm continually saddened every time to see how scrupulous and evil people can be too their fellow humans. Just for money. It's very depressing how low humanity can go.

I loved this video, keep on the great work and keep exposing these gurus ❤️
So moral of the story is don't trust anyone on YT. Just because someone is selling you something that does not mean it is not worth it. A lot of people want quick success without doing the work and investing the time, they are the ones easily fooled by fake guru's.
A lot of courses are not worth it, but a FACT is that when we pay for things we are more inclined to take action and put in effort. 🕵♀
Trading cannot be so mysteriously complex that it takes countless videos over many years to explain every strategy and aspect of trading. The very fact that all of these traders/gurus/scammers are posting a never ending series of trading videos on their UA-cam channels for years should be a clear sign that they are just looking to build an audience to sell their courses to. We’re living in the age of content and algorithms, after all.

Sounds like Nick Shawn's strategy. Keep things simple and focus on controlling risk. Strategy doesn't matter. Trading is about how you make sure you win more than what you lose. Cut losing trades short before they get bigger. Add to winning trades in a proper way so that you don't expose your trade to more than the initial 1R risk.

Sucks for the folks that bought his system and still couldn't find consistent profit, but I will remind you these folks that failed, are in the mass majority.
why did he get sued tho?
@@chikinboru597 send an email to Ross, to find out yourself. So you don't get 50 different answers from the haters.....the morons probably tried to copy him while watching and lost, so they discovered a crack in law and sued him..... now he covers his ass with a new disclaimer.
think ross is legit. i dont use his stuff but his method is worth learning. Not sure why he was sued thoe do you?
@@Wantedonesw Warrior Trading made misleading and unrealistic claims that its day trading "system" would result in big investment gains for customers.. he's more careful with what he says now.
But why hes not able to disclose his statements? Think about it. These Gurus are often very good in what they are doing so guys like you can spend years with them without getting caught.
And this is why I never buy anything or spend money on them, just learning from them and making my own strats off of their ideas
Exactly, you don't buy from them, you get the relevant basic trading ideas and information, choose the ones you need from rational reasoning....and then move on to learning by yourself.
Who do you learn from?
great video Iman , i was curious if there are any trading channels you would actually recommend following ( asides from Tom Hougaard which you mentioned in the video that you think he is one of the few public traders that appears to be an actual profitable trader ) also what sources do you recommend for learning the fundamentals of price action ? i was thinking of Buying a course from Al brooks as he does not appear to be a guru from what i can tell however after watching many of your videos i do not know what to think anymore , thanks .
Don't buy a course from Brooks yet unless you watch his youtube videos and am prepared for his incredibly slow and stiff style. Dude is a genius, but I have a hard time staying awake.
Price Action guys on youtube - Brooks Trading Course (Al Brooks), PATsTrading (Mack), Thomas Wade, MarketLife (Adam Grimes).
Good luck.
Al's course is very long and very boring. But if you're ready for a Phd in price action then it's the way to go; just be prepared for a long haul.
Man, you have excellent time-management and multitasking skills, trading, diggging out shit and exposing "gurus" at the same time. Any plans to make a playlist of authentic, proved successful traders on youtube?
I love you my guy, keep up the good work. You are truly inspirational and a role model, and honestly the only one I can think of making honest content in this sector of UA-cam.
Another easy way to verify if they don't like releasing broker statements is simply ask them to cleary go through 50 trade setups in the future, laying out their stop loss, profit target and then see how many of those 50 trades work out.
Wow I don't usually post comments, but I do have to thank you for shedding light on some of these gurus, I actually started off using UA-cam as a means of learning to trade, and sure it can definitely teach you the basics but that should be it. And looking back at all the UA-camrs that I watched hours of videos on trading, now look way less like traders but marketers. And as you said that's literally what they are, marketers not traders. It's actually very easy to miss if you don't know how to spot it. Another thing I realized, I had a buddy starting off trading, and you know the first source of information he starting using? ICT.
Thanks for making this video. Keep doing what you're doing - it is the right thing.
Unfortunately trading attracted way too many bad apples that self proclaim to be the experts/gurus when they're less than clown making entertainment vids on UA-cam.
"No such thing as a good trader only a good risk manager" - Tawtis 2024
So true
Great work , very concise & pulling back the layer of all the gimmicks used in the industry . Kudos sir
I just came across your video and you've finally confirmed this for me I've only been doing this 2 years still the beginning stage but I've always felt something is off I was one of those ppl that got lead in by the 0 to $5000 in 2 hour like videos thankfully I stuck to my word and never bought into anyone's program even tho I'm still learning I've always felt like it was fraud or they just big cappin
Just because someone sells a course or a fidget doesn’t mean someone else has to buy it. We all have choices to make and take responsibility for it. I learned many things from many channels and I am thankful to plethora of information out there. If someone cannot discern a marketing pitch, it’s more on them than on who’s selling. It’s like not trusting a car salesman .. but still being able to get a right car with right discernment.
Thanks for this video. You are not the only one not claiming profitability. I am a trader in training and I Livestream every day on this channel 😁I Show my winning, my losing, and frustrating days. Also, don't sell sh*tty courses, everything I make with the channel (almost zero) goes to buy gears and improve my hardware. I do funded accounts and have blown a lot of them, now I am more conservative with position sizing so I don't blow them again. Trading is not easy by any means and putting in the necessary work is I think the only thing that will make you better. No new course or new trading strategy.
Love how you promote discretion in trading and that any strategy can be profitable through discretion, instead of making videos about another “holy grail” strategy, that will keep yet another trader in a never ending loop of trying to find a perfect strategy. There aren’t many channels talking about the importance of experience and intuition. The only 2 that I have found so far is you and Nick Shawn. Subbed to both now. Keep up the good work, you’re the light in this big dark tunnel.
I had a feeling that some of these people he's talking about in this video were to good to be true. I've watched most of those people's videos. I'm new to the game and learning from Gregory Mannarino and Johnny Bravo here in YT. In my opinion, those two are the only ones that seem real trustworthy, and I think I just found a third with this guy.
I came across Nick Shawn too and I noticed he does say the same things as Iman Trading (that it comes down to experience and intuition etc), which made me trust him. But then I see, it seems like he's selling courses too, tho he doesn't promote it in the same way most scammers do. That alone doesn't mean you're a scammer anyway but I can never be too careful especially in this industry.. so Nick Shawn really is legit too ye?
I wish you could tell us which traders should we learn from because all these people who mentioned i watch their videos and finding this about them is disappointing and upsetting. Thank you for exposing them🙏🏽
there are a few out there but still the bigger they become the less benefit youll get from them
I learned a lot from Ron Walker. He does a daily technical analysis. He won't sell you anything. He does not tell you what or to buy or sell. Watch him at 1.5x speed. I have been watching him for over a year, and he has been mostly accurate.
He wont because every trader on the planet with a course is a fraud according to him lol
@@4dscdriver you right. One thing is for sure when you spend most of your time on negativity instead of actually putting in effort into studying and back testing what the guru is saying is true or not. ICT for example has traded live and ppl have even copied his trade to pass accounts. I have traded ICT strategy and made over 100% ROI, but guess what you can loose all that if you not discipline. So this does not mean the concepts don’t work and he’s a fraud but it on you for not being disciplined. I’m in a social group where we all trade ICT concepts post and share ideas. There are trade recap on both losses and wins. ICT is real and I’m not dick ridding, because I have actually put in the effort and I’m not the only one so.
Thank you for speaking up against people who are not ethical. We need more of this in our world.
Thank you for this video. The effort you put into keeping us informed is highly appreciated.
That joke about the 4 year old at the end was hilarious and worth the wait. I’m not gonna time stamp it because it’s a good reward for “making it” to the end 😂
Thank you for heads up, my day is made😂
I belive, and have watched TJR from him going from nothing to something. Sure he sells stuff, but hes tracked everything, and gives out free education.
Yeah Tjr is valid his losses are documented
Funny how I recently started digging into trading videos and I was wondering why it’s hard to find live trades and why does every trading “guru” always have something to sell at the end of their videos. I was thinking if you really make millions if not hundreds of thousands why do you need to sell anything if you make a killing off of trading…. and sure enough this video gets recommended. Thank you for exposing these schemes 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your honesty! Please keep the info coming!!
I watched this cause i saw TJR in the thumbnail but he wasn't directly mentioned in the video(that I noticed at least) but now I'm wondering if he's included in this group of people cause he posts all of his trades in recaps and streams all of his trades to his free discord(that he's closed now) but it does still make me wonder because he gives out all of the necessary trading information in his youtube videos for free and makes clear in his videos and from people who have taken his course that the mastermind course is directly working with him for unique situations where someone might want a more direct or one-on-one learning environment
this video is just bait, I am new to TJR and so far he’s been really informative - FOR FREE. My friend introduced me to him after I saw him making thousands in bets
Agreed, TJR has no place on this thumbnail.
He didn't mentioned torri trades which is on thumbnail and have given her broker statement of 2022 .
Its a bait. Juste for the putaclic. Also you see that he mentionned his channel as the most "100% true and transparent" so with this video he promote his channel too. Some of the youtubers he mentionned are Real scammers but not all on the picture
I was wondering the same thing. So can we say that TJR isn’t a scam?
Hey Iman, everything that you said that made me mad was true, thank you for your time and effort, especially that video that you worked on for a really long time, it was a masterpiece. Thank you also for your help in my trading as I as well cannot claim to be consistently profitable. Take care!
And aren't I glad you don't that normally? Yes... but also hilarious your delivery. Well done
Just started my trading journey and I've watched a few of these guys lol glad I haven't bought anything....but as a novice the basic info I received was helpful it brought everything I've read and studied to life....thanks for the vid
I recently switched to futures and it is awesome to see you try getting profitable same time as me. Your spitting facts nonstop and are 110% transparent! Its like a cool breeze on a hot day!
There is no quick gains in futures nor any other market. Futures do offer low commisions and high leverage. Also pretty much instant fills on market orders so you dont loose money on spreads.@@JakeSlaughterr
Futures for me simplifies my trading -- started in small cap world and hated it having to constantly search for the next runner/parabolic/gap up/ manipulation etc ...then went to options to minimize the number of charts to look at and get accustomed to looking at those 1 or 2 charts...then wanted to get rid of the greeks involved with options trading once I found out about futures.@@JakeSlaughterr
@@JakeSlaughterrwhy? Do you hate scalping?
The funded account part made me realise that ppl actually believe that they’re consistently profitable already once they get funded? Damn ppl are dreamers…. Also Iman you’re 1 year since u started your trading journey? Good on you for videos like these to educate people more. And it’s very expected that you’re not profitable one year in, that’s as expected, isn’t it a couple years at least. Thanks for ur efforts for making this vid!
Loved this! Planning on starting my own trading channel to document my learning process. What should I be disclosing so that people can see that these are legit trades?
Iman, it was a pleasure to watch your videos, although I was skeptical from the beginning, you blew the top off the whole fake Guru thing!!!! Kudos to yourself and the parents that raised you. You have more morals and ethics in your Lil pinky, than the rest of the entire You Tube Trading Community combined. Karma is a bitch, a lot of these cockroaches will reincarnate as 💩 dung beetles. Belated Merry Xmas and Happy new year. You have saved thousands of noobies from the piles of shit 💩 that claim to be profitable traders. Thx you for your efforts on our behalf!!! 🎉🎉
I think why people who follow ICT's strategy or any guru's strategy think that it works is because they only trade takes when certain things happens, so it's like flipping a coin, and when you do that many times, your are expected to make money at least 50% of the time and sometimes if you're lucky you make more winning trades then losing, and with good risk to reward ANY strategy works. It's just that simple, so flipping a coin to go long or short is as valid as ICT's strategy or any other guru's strategy. Good work Iman
FACTS
There are no strategies that work on this market. Only good risk reward return that keep you on the long run
@@welpduu3318 Well there are strategies that work, its how you execute it with good risk management which is key
Good risk to reward ratio will not save you.because not all traders have a 50% range as breakeven.
@@paulnyagini welpduu3318 is not any Trader.
I think you are the one that this industry needed for many years. Really appreciate your job and effort. And I hope you will find some way to copy or clone yourself because we really need more people like you !
Thanks. It's difficult sometimes to think objectively with the algorithm forcing us in a certain direction. I'm desperate and only see what I want to see. Frequent reality checks are much appreciated.
Love your video, man! Honest question though, do we not like Ross Cameron? I would never pay for memberships or any of that but he seems like the most normal of the CCs out there. 😂
One funny thing that Ricky Gutierrez does is if you click on all his videos it's literally either a thumbnail of him with his hand by his mouth in a scared look or he has a picture of Powell and all of the video headlines are about the market crashing. It's not even like he does this for a month straight. Literally its the same recycling of videos over a year.
Incredible video man. I've been looking for a channel like yours that's 10x more transparent than everyone else. When you said I can learn everything for free I realized I need to stop doubting myself. Incredible.
