Scruffy might never post these things, but that does not automatically prove he sells a product that does not work.
If you can see it does not work, and if you want to help less informed traders make better decisions about who they trust, you could always post up your criticisms here.
Have a read of scruffys comment
âThis is where the problem lies as people do look for the holy grail, personally anyone that charges a single penny for a so called course is a snakeoil sales person. A true trader makes there living from the market and as old quote states , those who cannot teach.â
Even better quote
âSadly this is true, took me 3 years to be consistent profit and not one course gave any value. I look at the markets the way I look at my business that has served me well for over 20 years. A loss is just a paid for lesson , write it off and move on. I help people every day and never even consider charging like these morons on YouTube. The Part that I think should a crime is the lies they all tell " I was homeless but after a year I am A FREAKING MILLIONAIREâ Total bollox. Read the Jay Wayne team take profit or fuckwits FX Lifestyle all bollox . Bugger got my blood boiling again lol
Exact!
Now we are reviewig him with the same metrics he used with the othersâŚ
Maybe I seem a troll but I am not, in this world eveyone is guilty until they prove to be innocent.
Why?
Because trading is extremely difficult, just like rocket science.
Everyone is a passionate of rockets and maybe many are able to spot fake rockets but almost nobody is able to design a working rocket.
Why do you defend Scruffy so much?
There is more than enough evidence that he is a scammer, Mark pointed out some of them, i didnt see all of his videos but some of the ones that i saw, for example there is one where he sells a pair and he closes the trade in profit but he cuts the video right after that, And with the date in the video i went and see what that pair did that day, and surprise it was a day in where the price went almost straight up all day, there was very little a seller could do that day, maybe he his a great trader and catched the only 15 or 20 pips that a seller could catch that day, or maybe he just shows what he wants to show. A real trader wouldnt bother to edit the videos so much, he just shows what he wants people to see.
Like most people here I imagine I watch youtube trading videosâŚcame across Scruffy but when watching one of them saw it was demo .Kept watching others and saw editing and blocking url when a trade is on but uncovered for analysis .So I called him out on it over on youtube.He blocked my comments and said no one will ever know so here we are a few days later
He can make you afford the car if you pay him.He is so honest and trustworthy.He has a gree nlamborghini as proof .And im sure his system is fit for purpose
You go too far, I donât defend Scruffy specifically, nor any vendors. In reality Iâm not defending anyone, I am on the attack, and today that means you and Mark.
I attack posters who give off the impression of being expert and successful traders by criticising trainers, authors, market commentators, strategy developers, Youtubers and bloggers. I notice they donât seek to be counted as experts by posting their live trades or account records - the very thing they demand these âscammersâ do. All I say is, âPost your evidenceâ. I have never asked anyone to post account records, I never post my own. But I do always ask for strategies or at least the outlines of strategies, and I post as much of this of my own as might be helpful to someone.
I also post details of what Iâm doing in the hope that someone comes back and tells me this canât work because of XYZ, or this could work better because of ABC. Nobodyâs in this game for charitable reasons, there has to be pay-back.
But accusing trainers of being scammers is just a big waste of brain-power and time and carries undertones of superiority and a suggestion that the critics are trying to achieve profile through a short-cut. I donât like the practice and I donât respect the people who do it.
It probably is. Or at least contains elements of straightforward TA that are actually helpful. But so often these boys have not actually bought the car / speedboat / beach-side apartment etc. theyâre pictured with, theyâre not even trading, theyâve just leased the stuff with invested capital which they will never pay back.
FXlifestlye offers something which he says works. Having watched a sample of his clips over the days I canât see any lie there. Do you see a strategy which he offers which cannot work?
Secondly, just becaue he may of leased a vehicle which I donât know and I donât care because I donât think it matters.
So in your eyes FXlifestyle is a scam because he lies that the cars are not real just leased but scruffy is legit because it doesnt matter if he lies that the money he makes or uses is realâŚlol
Devilâs advocate?
Nobody makes money attacking charlatans but if at least one dreamer avoids to spend money on a charlatan I am happy.
Whatâs the point defending charlatans?
Noobs lose money and charlatan make money?
I have said in this forum that i am not a profitable trader and i have no problem in admiting this.
I am not looking to pass as being an expert and successful, i have nothing to sell , i dont have any blog, forum or material to advertise to people.
Reagarding strategies all i have is my opinion, and in my opinion if you are a scalper or daytrader your chances are slim to none to make money long term in this market. There migh be some people that are able to do it but i believe they are a very small minority, this market is very efficient in the long term.
I am more interested in longer term trading as i believe is the proper way to trade, and in long term trading the strategy isnt too much important, because your point of entry doesnt have to be perfect, what is important is the way you manage the trades.
Regarding Scruffy i have seen so many people doing what he does, i have seen so many people claiming they are profitable, and to be honest there was only one guy that i saw in another forum that posted positive results for one year trading, good results not something amazing, but he was profitable. ONE guy out of dozens or hundreds that ive seen claiming that they are real traders. Uploading a one year statement of your account isnt has hard as they make it seem, its something quite simple to do, they could even hide the amount they have in the account and let us see the rest.
But we all know why most people never do this, its hard to scam someone if you have losses in the period of one year.
You are not seeing the point, i can claim anything i want, i can be right or wrong, and people can support or criticize, In the end its just my opinion.
The problem is when money gets involved, and when you start making claims in order to sell a product, at this point you are not just sharing your opinion you are marketing yourself in order to make money out of it.
Whatever i say in this forum wont directly damage someone financially because i have nothing to sell to them, so i dont have the responsability to prove anything
I donât defend charlatans. If I wanted to defend scruffy I wold get him involved, I wold watch all his clips, I would trial his techniques, I would trade his strategies and I would publish the results. But he can defend himself.
What I enjoy is attacking critics who come with big opinions but no credentials and no evidence.
