Retail Trading (Forex/Bitcoin/Equities) is not Trading

My piss is currently undertaking the scientific wonder of converting to steam.I am getting fucked off with people that cannot connect the dots and see that retail trading - the stuff that Trading 212 & TradePlus 500 shove down your throat by way of adverts every two nanoseconds, has anything to do with the "professional" world of trading. 'But its the same, its the same!' I hear you cry. It ain't. Lets break this down and break a few fucking eggs in the process. What is Trading? Trading is the pursuit of making money from the markets in a risk controlled fashion. I would argue systematically. If you cannot reliably/repeatedly (systematically) make money then what the fuck do you actually have? Nothing.These are the basic tenets of system methodology - look them up.Note - this actually covers 'just' putting a trade on in the markets for a client with a commission (think client needs to exchange a currency on a deal made - multiple clips of the ticket occur here).It also covers proprietary trading where a trader may put on a trade on behalf of themselves/the firm they work for (think HFT operations, Hedge Funds and trading arms of investment banks). Who are 'Traders'? Traders are either human beings or computers controlled by humans (don't get into ML/AI - it was still programmed) that put a trade on in the financial markets in a professional capacity. There is a big demarcation line here that will make most of the people that think they are traders balk.If Read the full article

Dan Legg is named in Daily Mail article on scammers

Dan Legg has finally been outed as a scammer in a mainstream UK article in the Daily Mail Newspaper. Daniel Legg never made any money from Forex (FX) trading - none. Daniel Legg never was and still is not a Forex Trader. Dan Legg sells sham 'FX courses' and earns huge commissions from broker affiliate commission. Dan Legg is part of the same scam ring as Ashley Richards & James Watts - their connections (Southampton) run deep. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/beatthescammers/article-8522169/Beware-bedroom-traders-boasting-fortunes-currency-bets.html Lets also clear something up - Dan Legg is not FCA regulated, never was.The FCA have never approved Dan Legg for anything. Dan Legg is not listed as an authorised individual for Educate 2 Trade/SynergyFX/Tradeinbox - Stephen Meli's business - on the FCA Register. Dan Legg is a pathological liar who will say and do anything to protect / keep alive his totally bullshit instasham lifestyle (even pretending to make sure you are aware of those nasty scammers!) - he has been able get away with it because absolutely no one has stood in his way until I came along. As I have mentioned - The FCA, Action Fraud, Trading Standards, HMRC are all absolutely fucking useless - the UK is a scammers paradise - this blog is documented evidence of that. Read the articles on Daniel Legg on this blog - https://forexcrypt.com/tag/daniel-legg/ Dan Legg listed himself as a restaurant worker from 2015-2017. He has then teamed/schemed with James Watts in Southampton to create bullshit forex courses and earn huge commission from Forex Brokers - thousands of pounds in commission via the brokers like BD Swiss. What you now see on Instagram (if you can still view it) is a succession of that over the last 3 years. His undoing is the Ashley Richards BBC story. Ashley Richards is the front for James Watts and "The Forex Hub" - Dan Legg then came to my attention via that. James Watts and Daniel Legg both have the same accountant in Southampton - their links run deeper than this in Southampton and beyond. They both schemed to get themselves on TV and draw a bigger audience via getting on to each UK National Television Broadcaster. Ashley Richards the front for James Watts' "Forex Hub Limited" got on to the BBC via "Young Welsh and Pretty Minted" BBC Wales / BBC Three and captain Jac Productions run by Catrin Rowlands. I got the BBC Three episode Ashley Richards featured in, removed from air by the BBC, along with the associated website. I never got an apology from the BBC - bit of a cover up me thinks. I found out Ashley Richards was the front for James Watts, then Dan Legg came across my bow - and hey presto - their TV plot came to light. I subsequently found Dan Legg got onto Channel 4 & Channel 5 - this is a measure of this scumbag - he actually used a TV show about going homeless to elevate his profile to sell more sham 'FX courses' and earn broker affiliate commission. James Watts got onto the same TC show as Dan Legg on Channel 5. Also note the newspapers in the UK who have put this lot up in lights with zero diligence. None. Who can you complain to? IPSO the apparent regulator are absolutely FUCKING USELESS. The BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5 need an Ofcom investigation too after this. I have had no apologies or corrections from any UK newspaper or TV Broadcaster - they have all simply buried this. You can say what you like and the newspapers, "journalists" and TV producers will swallow it whole. Hopefully this article today is the dam bursting and we see the rest of these scumbags put up in lights for the right reason. In any case, this is just the beginning of the end for this lot. Remember who brought it to you first. (Thank you for those who write to me with nice things - it means a lot.) Read the full article

Summer Solstice Update

Ok its a week late - sue me... everyone else is trying to. I have been busy with other stuff but things are hotting up on lots of fronts so I am adding a note to show I am still here. Half way through the year now and I must be ~20 weeks on from when this blog took a major turn. I repeat a lot of stuff - so again, I never intended this blog to be about scammers - it morphed after I found ProphetFX and Ashley Richards - scammers getting a lot of press and internet space written about them... Since, I have put serious dents into Ashley Richards (plus James Watts & Dan Legg + others) & ProphetFX (Edward Elford and Jack Alexander Harwood (FrontlineFX / TradehuntFX)). I definitely won't be on their Christmas card list. I have had severe abuse and harassment aimed at me since I blogged about these people - lets just lay down some facts; - I write the truth. All the evidence is posted for you to see - most of it is already in the public domain available via Google/Bing etc. You can verify it yourself. It is all true. - I am not a competitor of these shitheads. - I don't threaten or harass people. Good luck with your bullshit defamation claim - writing the truth is not defamation - no matter how you shameless warped cretins spin it. This is an investigative blog by someone that knows the retail forex industry inside out and is blowing the whistle on your bullshit instasham FX Lifestyles. For doing so, I have attracted some serious oddballs and my life is in danger from blogging about these people - they are scum. You wouldn't have half of them tarmac your drive - they are knuckle dragging scumbags - you only have to look at Instagram to see who and what these people are about. I only did one month of scammers/scams as you can see from the warning list - I only focused on Ashley Richards and ProphetFX. What did I find out? The FCA, Trading Standards, HMRC, OFCOM, IPSO and Action Fraud are so fucking useless they may as well not exist. They are absolutely fucking inept. I genuinely cannot get the words out to describe how fucking bad this lot are. A page full of 'useless fucking cunts' still won't cut it. We are nearly 20 weeks in on some of this stuff an what has happened from any UK regulator/agency? - NOTHING. I have put this stuff on a plate for them with all the evidence and we have seen NOTHING from any of them - in some cases they are simply ignoring me and/or not responding to their own complaints process. When I say the UK is fucked I mean it - THE UK IS FUCKED. Did you get that bit? THE UK IS FUCKED - nothing works - it is the wild west and if you are selling something online you can do what the fuck you like. It is easy to see why there is a scam epidemic in the UK. We have a culture among young people that it is OK to scam - they don't know any better and the UK regulators/agencies and social media companies are nowhere - it is a scammers paradise. Google reviews, Amazon reviews, Trustpilot reviews all contain thousands of fake reviews. Everything online is now fake and no one is stopping the fakery juggernaut. Hell even Conservative MP Grant Shapps was at it too https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/15/grant-shapps-admits-he-had-second-job-as-millioniare-web-marketer-while-mp You can create a fake lifestyle in cyberspace and there is absolutely no one in the UK to stop you with nothing for 'normal' people to use/report to take them down - the scammers know it. Try reporting a profile on Instagram/Facebook - you can't even report them if they block you. You are met with bot agents and never a human. We are so far into absolutely fucketysphere, companies/people and scammers can do what the fuck they like - what are you going to do about it? Now of course, the UK Government/agencies/regulators blame Covid-19 for it all. As if the scammers infrastructure didn't already exist and scams magically sprung up as a result of Covid-19... Look at the cases I have raised on the blog - they have been going four plus years untouched. As far as I am aware, I am the first blogger/website to put a serious dent into these people - the trading forums are a mess at best given they are happy to house scams/scammers & BS 'Educators' for advertising revenue. This has won me a lot of interesting fans. I am getting take down requests every week - I have had special fans like Michael Watkins (theholistictrader) subject me to 12+ weeks of sustained harassment, doxing, DDOS attack, intimidation, threats, abuse (just to name a few) - all criminal acts which I have sent to North Wales Police four times - what have they done about it? NOTHING. For any prat telling me I don't have journalistic integrity because I don't reveal my name - that is why. People with a bit of money, especially one up from caravan dwellers - are not the most reasonable of sorts if their scam livelihoods are destroyed. What of the Media/Newspapers/Broadcasters/Producers/Journalists from the Ashley Richards fall out? I got multiple newspaper 'articles' taken down along with the BBC website 'article' & the BBC Programme "Young Welsh and Pretty Minted" featuring Ashley Richards taken down after 12 weeks of campaigning. - No apologies. - Not one correction. Utter cunts. They have simply buried this. As for IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation)? Fuck you too. Absolute fucking joke of an 'organisation'. I haven't had the time/bandwidth to keep on at the UK Agencies/Regulators/Newspapers/Broadcasters - it is a full time job - just for a few scammers - they are all fucking useless, all fucking jobsworths, all total cunts. You haven't seen the amount of emails and phone calls I have been putting in over ~20 Weeks just for these few select scammers - look what has happened - apart from the BBC takedown of Ashley Richards - NOTHING. We have utter cretins in the UK media (if you didn't already know). I repeatedly got the line, "It was a TV piece and we don't check the veracity... yak yak"... Well UK Media, you've just been done over by Ashley Richards, James Watts and Dan Legg - 20 year old scammers that have ruined your reputations and careers. So not only can you say you 'are a millionaire' online, you can also say you 'are a millionaire' to Local & National Newspapers, TV producers and TV Broadcasters and absolutely no one is checking you because thats what we love in the UK - nouveau riche Instagrat. Lets be fucking clear on these people - They are 'internet marketers' - they are not Forex traders. It doesn't matter if they sold weight loss diets, dating tips or Amazon affiliate courses - they just happen to sell you Forex Courses. In the case of James Watts he actually does sell Amazon affiliate courses. Everything they say is fake, everything is an instasham lifestyle - they cannot and never have traded Forex consistently profitably. They never made their money from actually trading Forex. Never, ever call these people Forex Traders. They sell bullshit Forex courses and/or sign you up to brokers get their huge broker affiliate commission via whatever means possible - you will never, ever make money with them. No one in retail forex makes money trading. So..... much of the same, me just repeating myself until everyone catches up with my depressing realism and cynicism. I appreciate people need a creditable full time UK scam/scammer reveal operation - people send me scams/scammers on a daily basis - the trading forums and social media are full of bitcoin/forex trading scams/scammers. I have always stated I would just do a few scammers to see where we got. The work involved in just doing the few scammers has been phenomenal - weeks and weeks of work (I have been doing what the FCA/Trading Standards/Action Fraud/HMRC/IPSO/OFCOM/ASA should be doing) - hundreds of hours - its a full time gig and I don't get paid for it so its not something I can offer at this stage - if I win the lottery maybe I could do some more...

Emails Michael Watkins has sent me - all harassment, intimidation and lies

Just to make it obvious that Michael Watkins is the harasser, here are the emails Michael Watkins has sent me since April 14th 2020. Michael Watkins new tactic is impersonating me and copying anything I say, parroting it out pretending he is the one being harassed. Twitter Support still have not taken down the fake account he setup @forex_crypt impersonating me and sending abuse to people. Remember, this has all occurred because I correctly blogged Michael Watkins (the holistic trader / mike indigo) was fraudulently using the "FCA regulated title" as part of his sales tactic, pretending he was a, "CEO of an FCA Regulated Hedge Fund". Michael Watkins isn't FCA regulated. I subsequently found out there never was a hedge fund. Michael Watkins then made up a story claiming he had been hacked and documents stolen from him - these are the same documents he had sent to me in the emails below. Michael Watkins has sent multiple bogus/vexatious reports to Police Forces around the UK. Michael Watkins is clearly mentally ill and beyond warped - he is multiple personas online - he is engaged in a serious level of fraud, everything he says is a lie. Michael Watkins has zero evidence of any wrongdoing by me. I am none of the people he keeps accusing me of being. North Wales Police have been sent this blog on multiple occassions and have done nothing. I have contacted North Wales Police by email, facebook chat and their chat utility into control room twice - they have done nothing. I have not yet submitted my report to my local police force yet. I have been subjected to 7 weeks of sustained harassment, intimidation, threats, cyber bullying, doxing, ddos attacks carried out by Michael Watkins. I have found out he is currently doing this to other people and has been doing it to other people since 2017. This week he doxxed a woman in the UK who has had to go to the Police. I will be using everything on this blog as evidence in my report to the Police - I have posted everything so everyone can see for themselves what Michael Watkins really is. Email 1

Michael Butterball Watkins sent me this nonsense tonight... ---- On Thu, 21 May 2020 18:13:53 +0100 The Holistic Trader [email protected] wrote ---- You have now actually committed an actual crime and linked a company number to a fake website you have created.

Yet another pathetic attempt to intimidate me - like last month, its not going to work here either Michael. It is your very own Twitter account linking to blocktraders.org - I have the screenshots of your account. I had already taken copies of it and the blocktraders.org website which is also yours. It is even linked to your account Michael. Even better - it has signature text which you repeat on your @holistictrader account. Here is a non exhaustive list of current Evidence in my report just from my interactions with you since 14th April 2020; Michael Watkins you have (committed/engaged in); - Fraud - using multiple agencies titles as sales tactics, you posing as authorised or regulated when you hold no titles.- Fraud - using sales tactics with you posing as a regulated Hedge Fund - when no fund existed. - Impersonation - setting up multiple fake accounts and personals on social media channels designed to intimidate and harass. - Sustained harassment over 4+ weeks via multiple email addresses and Twitter accounts. - Cyber bullying. - Intimidation, complete with threats with bogus/vexatious claims/reports. - Doxxing of multiple peoples names and addresses. - carried out sustained DDOS attacks. - Falsifying Police reports to North Wales Police. - Falsifying Police reports to North Wales Police Cyber Unit. - Falsifying Police reports to London Metropolitan Police. - Falsifying Police reports to Action Fraud. - Falsifying Police reports to Australia Cyber Centre. - Falsifying Police reports to Queensland Police. - Lying to multiple agencies and companies that you were hacked and had documents stolen and suffered financial loss - when no documents were stolen - it was you that caused your own financial loss - I have the written evidence contrary to your bogus reports by the third party you had your contract terminated by. - Attempts via Cloudflare, my hosting provider and domain registrar to take my site down exposing the truth - that you, Michael Watkins are a fraud. - Impersonating a Cyber Security expert & defaming my name under your Twitter account @cybersgb. - Having my social media outlets taken down as part of your campaign of intimidation & harassment. I told you on the 14th of April to desist and yet, you still continue on 6 weeks later - it will be used against you when I need to file a Police report or pursue a Civil claim against you. You have had enough warnings now Michael, you are just a moron ignoring them.

ProphetFX (Prophet Enterprise Limited), TradehuntFX, FrontLineFX are scammers - here is the irrefutable evidence

If the article wasn't enough - this is. Truth always finds a way and here it is. This is irrefutable evidence on how they are gaming myfxbook, false advertising, lying and committing serious fraud. These are not allegations/accusations - this is sold fact. All of this information has been copied, saved and stored offline away from harm, away from me and for the authorities to view/use. I know that Prophetfx will delete this and any record/evidence as soon as this post goes up. You will have read in the main article that I have a great deal of experience in MT4 and using Myfxbook. Well I knew that Myfxbook is a notoriously poor product. I knew that Metatrader 4 can be gamed - either via the MT4 broker server scam or by people using demo accounts. In this case ProphetFX are using a real account. Edward Elford had locked down the account so the only data I had to use was the Trade Summary. It wasn't enough data.

ProphetFX Myfxbook - https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Edward4x/prophet-fx/3173819 This took some extra investigation to work out how and what ProphetFX are doing. Luckily, in their stupidity - they left one of their accounts open. Here I am able to show you what and how ProphetFX are false advertising, lying & committing serious fraud. If you look at the TradeHuntFX Website Myfxbook page - look what you see...

https://www.tradehuntfxmentorship.com/tradecopier-autotrading/ This is from the https://www.tradehuntfxmentorship.com/tradecopier-autotrading/ page What is the ‘TradeCopier’? The TradeCopier facility is an empirically proven and exhaustively tested system that mirrors Forex trading activity from our master account and places trades onto your account. This enables consistent and incremental account growth to all connected clients. How does it work? The system carefully analyses market movement and volumes within any given pair we are trading. If price moves against us in one direction, the system will begin a process to ‘hedge’ itself out of that trade and close with a profit. The exact system methodology is of course confidential, but the full results from the TradeCopier past activity are available for scrutiny. How much profit can I expect each month or average over a year? Our month on month target growth is circa 15%-20%, some months may be less, and others more. Forex accounts do not grow by an identical amount each month but our past results do demonstrate consistent growth over a rolling period, which is our core aim. All TradeCopier clients see the exact same % increase, no matter if you have a £1,000 account, or £100,000. How much does it cost? There is a small monthly fixed charge and then a profits based % commission charge. However for THFX members we have removed the charge and the commission charge is reduced to 30%. Non members are charged £10 a month with a 45% commission charge. Billing is completed at the end of each calendar month. You then have 7 days in which to settle your bill. Failure to settle your account will result in it being disconnected. How much can I lose? The maximum drawdown that has been recorded is 7.8%, but this does not mean that higher drawdown will not happen, this is not something to be concerned by. This is just how the system operates, in fact it soon recovered after this. The market is very unpredictable at times, we have carried out extensive amounts of back testing and have never lost an account to drawdown/market conditions. Please refer to our full risk disclaimer. When can I withdraw the profits? You are able to withdraw at any stage you wish, however there are times when it is not advisable to withdraw such as when there are live trades open. All we ask is that if you wish to withdraw it’s always best to speak to Edward first. Please ensure you are able to make the due commissions payment based on the profits so far. Otherwise you will be disconnected. Who can handle my funds? Funds are held in your own IC markets account and only you are able to with withdrawn or move them. We will never ask for your Broker account log in details ever. We only need your MT4 trading account details so that we can link your account to the TradeCopier master account. Individual trading account log in credentials give us ZERO access to your personal funds. What about a large unexpected market movement? Our exposed risk is so small that even during large moves we are not reaching high DD. 300 pips the otherway and we are around 7% DD, so it’s totally within out risk settings to be able to deal with a 500 pip spike or market crash. ok what about the actual underlying myfxbook page.... Well it is here https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Benllay/tradehuntfx/3329055

TradehuntFX Myfxbook - https://www.myfxbook.com/members/Benllay/tradehuntfx/3329055 What do you notice? It is the VERY SAME red line and yellow line (we are told its an EA, the yellow line confirms its the very same underlying data) - but what is the glaring difference? - That huge line up on the ProphetFX chart. What could it be I wonder? Well again, the very helpful idiots of TradeHuntFX have left Myfxbook fully open. Look what I can do...

If I change the Custom Analysis start date then I can make huge gains in Myfxbook Ok, but what is that huge line up on the Myfxbook graph though? Well lets have a look at the underlying data on the TradeHuntFX for that date from Myfxbook....

This is the underlying data from TradeHuntFX Myfxbook (remember the very same "EA" that ProphetFX is)... Oh Fuck guys and gals what is that????? That is them gaming MyFxbook results. They are withdrawing and depositing to game the Growth graph. Note aspects of Myfxbook are locked down on both ProphetFX and TradehuntFX so you cannot actually see what is going on? Well as above - they TradehuntFX Myfxbook has elements left open. We can see in the excel sheet data that they are withdrawing and depositing to show huge gains. In the case of Edward Elfords ProphetFX Myfxbook you can see this is how he has created a massive 426% gain from September 16th 2019 - September 20th 2019. This is done by ramping up winning trades then withdrawing money from the account so it looks like you have had a massive win - clever huh? Yes, except when you are selling off the back of this. This is fraud. Pure and simple. It gets worse because we have already seen in the literature from ProphetFX, TradeHuntFX & FrontlineFX that this is risk averse and no major drawdown - so what do you also see in the data? HUGE DRAWDOWN. ACCOUNT BUSTING HUGE DRAWDOWN.

Look at the state of this. It was so bad they had to fund the account.

Trade was so bad and went into drawdown so deep they had to fund the account. So there you go - Drawdown was so bad they had to fund the account. Yet another dimension to the level of fraud committed by ProphetFX, TradeHuntFX & FrontlineFX. So to recap; 1. The Myfxbook graph is lies by gaming the growth graph and use of it as sales material is false advertising & committing fraud. 2. Hiding true trading results is false advertising & committing fraud. This lot thought they were untouchable - their stupidity has exposed them for who they really are - fraudsters. Read the full article

Do everyone (and me) a favour - Report these scammers to the Authorities TODAY

Help me to close these bastards down. My inbox is full this week on stuff about James Watts, Daniel Legg. You need to help shut these people down - I am a lone voice out here at the moment. It is no good telling me... I know. Tell Action Fraud, the FCA and Trading Standards at the very least. Yes I am doing a wonderful job - thanks. Yes I am helping to disrupt their activity and shine a light on the utterly scammy world of retail forex (and crypto/equities) trading - but you need to help me closed these fuckers down. You MUST report these scammers otherwise this just goes on for another 4 years - I am well aware of who the scammers are and what they do - I am sick of seeing/hearing stories about them - help close them down once and for all - they are criminals. Don't give Action Fraud or the FCA any excuse to say they were not aware - hammer their inboxes/complaints teams please (with legitimate complaints). We have journalists on side at the moment - I was successful at taking Ashley Richards down by the BBC. The FCA are now listening to me - if you have real evidence or anything that would help then email me and at the very least report them to Action Fraud, the FCA and Trading Standards.

MT4 Scam EA's update

I got hold of 700 Commercial EA's from someone to test them and show you the lies from the broker affiliate scammer. I have tested over 150 so far. Metatrader 4 Expert Advisors are just another dimension to the retail forex scam - 99% of them failed within a week. Most are simply copies of others and renamed. Further, MT4 is a toy. It is a static piece of junk. You will never automate anything of worth with it - try me. The broker affiliate scammers are lying to you. It is a martingale - It will always go bang. The fact people invest money on the back of this is shocking. The fact people pay for these "robots" is shocking - they are garbage. I know far more about MT4 than you and the scammers put together - You can either believe the scammers or you can listen to me. Retail Forex Trading is a scam - all of it. Scam EA 1 - Look at the straight line up - Beautiful for marketing purposes huh?

Scam EA 2 - More straight lines up...

No I am not going to tell you what these are - stop asking.

Insta-Affiliate Scammer Business

If I can do this - how hard do you think it is for me to setup; Myfxbook with a straight line up.Telegram/Whatsapp/Discord chat rooms with fake screen shots (MT4 demo videos showing massive gains).Social Media channels with the fake MT4 trade reports/screenshots - Linkedin/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.Website selling signals and trade copy/signals with fake MT4 trade reports/videos. I reckon, less than a weekend to get it all operational and automated. I can set it all up myself. I don't have to pay for much - just a domain and hosting. Benefit is its Zero risk, you don't have to bother trading (trading is a mugs game). You'll never get caught by the FCA, Trading Standards, Action Fraud (Police). You can even get yourself in UK newspapers and UK Television - no one does any diligence or checks you are legitimate. So, there you go, an Insta-affiliate scammer business... You can make hundreds of thousands of pounds scamming without ever having to trade. Retail trading is for mugs. The only people making money in retail trading are scammers/brokers/market makers/publishers/gurus/educators. You can see why they are desperate to find me (they have been asking around for my address) and shut me down. Read the full article
