Hi

I have come across many traders that use Youtube to showcase their trading skills and talent.I have recently being watching a trader that use spreadbetting to trade forex.
His name and channel is called Thescruffytrader
I am interested in joining his paid access service for £24.99 and was wondering what people think.I have watched alot of his videos and I do have some reservations about certain thing I have come across.
So is their more experienced traders on here that can assist me in helping me figure it out

thanks
Mark.

Hi mark, what do you get for £24.99?

I got a temporary ban from here a while ago because of an argument about the Thescruffytrader.
Its interesting to see that he his now selling services for 24.99.

@mark1111

If you want to chat to him you can - he’s a regular here on Babypips.

@Lang15

Seems an honest hard-working guy who wants to help.

And before anyone says, ‘if he’s a real trader why does he charge for his services?’ please don’t

It’s a lame question - any pro should be able to charge for his or her precious time

Just one other point about The Scruffy Trader - you wont see any helicopters, lamborghinis or naked women in the promotional material

Marketing 101 is appeal to our more base instincts - I haven’t seen any @Lang15 vids as of yet chilling with video vixens or popping Crystal - can only be a good sign

Hi @Lang15

How is your weekend going.

I have watched all your videos on Youtube and was wondering if you could clear up 2 questions I have please

  1. I have noticed you are trading your £25 per pip on a demo account .Do you not trade real money

2.In one of your videos you go into your IG history to download a statement but just as you click on the file to open it the video jumps and cuts so it seems as its not what you originally clicked on .I also noticed that the account number on the IG page is not the same one then as you have on the spreadsheet you are showing the trades

Could you just clarify these issues for me please when you get a chance

thanks
Mark

Ask him for a free 1 month subscription to the service, if he gives you that, test and decide if you want to continue, if he says no you should know whats going on…

I will wait to see his reply to my queries .Why did you get a ban about him

11

It was because i questioned him and probably went a little bit to far with my words.

Access to extra videos,discount on 1 to 1 membership stuff like that

@mark1111 he is legit and a respected member of the BP community.

15

How can you be sure

He has always gone out of his way to help new traders here. Not so much lately as he does take a lot of abuse, and those members have chased him away from his daily advice.

I’m not saying to throw your money at him, not at all. But demo some of his free content, educate yourself for a few months. Once you are comfortable with the basics, advice from long-term traders will make much more sense.

So why the deception with his trading history and trading demo then

Surely then helping out people here ,would honesty not be preferred

18

Perhaps give him a chance to reply.

Maybe you’re one of his harassers, or is it a coincidence that you came here specifically looking for him?

19

Pleas direct me to my harassing posts

You are not listening. You are clearly only here for the sole purpose of stalking him and smearing his name.

Now I am calling you out, prove me wrong.
