Beware of Sam KB Trading: (Fake Guru) Misleading Promises & Red Flags

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone had good christmas…

I wanted to share some insights about Sam KB Trading for those considering his online trading courses or following his so-called “trading floor.”

Over the past few months, I’ve seen a growing number of people voice concerns about his approach, personality, and results—or lack thereof. Here’s a breakdown of what you should know before diving into his content or buying into his promises.


The Promises Don’t Match the Results

Sam KB Trading markets his courses as a fast track to mastering the markets, promising strategies that supposedly deliver consistent results. However, many students report the opposite. His methods often seem oversimplified, lack depth, or are rehashed from widely available information.

More troubling is that he lacks a consistent 5-year trading track record—a major red flag when evaluating anyone offering financial education. Without demonstrable proof of long-term success, it’s hard to trust his claims of reliability and expertise.


The Mockery of Other Concepts

Another peculiar aspect of his platform is how he mocks other trading methods, such as ICT (Inner Circle Trader). While ICT isn’t perfect and has its critics, Sam positions his own teachings as superior while providing little evidence to substantiate this stance. It’s one thing to critique competing strategies constructively, but outright derision without proof seems more like marketing bravado than expertise.


Personality Issues: Rude and Egotistical

Beyond the questionable content, Sam KB is known for his abrasive and egotistical personality. Many reviews point to rude interactions, dismissive comments, and a lack of respect for his students or audience. A trading mentor should foster a positive learning environment, not alienate those seeking guidance.


Negative Reviews and Disillusioned Students

It’s not just a few isolated incidents—there’s a pattern of negative reviews surrounding his courses. Former students often describe feeling misled and claim that the material doesn’t justify the price tag. Some have even gone as far as calling it a “scam” or “waste of money.”

These issues are compounded by the way Sam KB markets himself on platforms like YouTube, where he presents an image that doesn’t align with the reality experienced by his paying students. This has led many to feel duped after falling for his charismatic sales pitches.


Conclusion: Proceed with Caution

If you’re looking to learn trading, I highly recommend doing thorough research before investing in courses, especially from figures like Sam KB. Look for educators with verifiable, long-term trading success and a solid reputation for integrity and mentorship. Don’t be swayed by flashy marketing or promises of quick success.

If you’ve had experiences with Sam KB Trading—positive or negative—feel free to share them here.

The more information people have, the better decisions they can make about their trading education.

Stay safe and skeptical out there!

Take care guys. Happy new year in advanced!

He is 100% a scam and not a trader. He removed his public record after his account went into nearly -62% of DD

I wanted to update and add some misleading information that he is spreading.

He claims on his trustpilot that he has public records live for 5 years but this is 100% not true. We have the records, screenshots and this is not true and misleading and the public should be made aware. All the screenshots can be shared with babypips.

Let’s take a look at the actual numbers and share some truth!

He had 7 accounts, 1 was removed leaving 6 public.
Lets dig deep into the data. Not one of the 7 goes back 5 years like he claims.

Account 1: Growth Acc
This account seems to be his High risk account, and only has 2 months back in 2023, one month 111% and 23% in another. Not 5 years like he claims.

Account 2: 5K Fun Acc
This account like the others once again does not have 5 years of record like he claimed. 3 months in 2023 and 2 months in 2024. It should be noted that this account only made 17% and experienced a -62% drawdown.

Account 3: Maven
This is a demo account, and guess what, another account that doesn’t have a 5 years track record like he claimed. This account only has one month back in 2023

Account 4: Med Risk Acc III
This account only shows 3 months from back in 2023, another account that does not have a 5 year track record.

Account 5: Med Risk Acc
Another account that does not show 5 years like you claimed. This one shows 1 month from 2022 and 3 months from 2023.

Account 6: Low Risk Acc
This is the first of 6 public track records that contains an entire full year of trades, but guess what it only shows 2023 in full, 2022 only shows 1 month and 2024 only shows 2 months, both negative I might add.
We’ve just examined 6 of the 7 public records he shares and not one account shows 5 years of records like he claimed. Majority only showing one or two months for the year.

Now let’s discuss the removed main account titled “Track Record”, not “High Risk” like he claims. This account shows a full year in 2024, well done… This is only the second year in full across any of the 7 accounts that he shares. But he removed this when the year experienced a -61% drawdown, nearly blowing the account. Notice in his latest YouTube video, he shows a snippet of 2025 from the same account, but didn’t show the main account metrics that would disclose the overall drawdown and over course you didn’t show 2024.

This is a strong warning to anyone reading, he’s claiming transparency but this is not the case. Big red flag for me.
