@jdastra No man that’s perfect because I’m at a stage where I’m just trying to prove to myself that I can be consistent. But that’s resulted in capping my profits daily by switching to paper after I’m ’done’, only to then catch another 50-100pts because I’m scared to give it back.
@jadecap_ Pass. Takes 1 trade with an NQ mini for me to make $700-1000 a day. 1 & done. Prevents over trading too. Micros are for learning. Funded accounts are only useful for leverage. Might as well open a personal account at that point.
@PoiSzn @StkishTCM @followingakash @Coldbrewtrades @KyleMillerpdx I’m confused. Why would he sell an account that he spent years building to some random? I thought the RSI stuff was weird but damn…
A Cautionary Note for Our Community (Share it if you will)
Dear friends,
Our community thrives on trust, shared growth, and mutual respect. Unfortunately, sometimes, individuals with ill intent exploit this trust, using their association with the group to gain credibility. I feel compelled to share my experience, not to accuse or name names, but to protect others from falling into the same trap.
In this instance, someone claimed to have unraveled the mysteries of our respected teachings, presenting themselves as uniquely enlightened. They used persuasive messages, screenshots, and a narrative of exclusivity—suggesting they could only teach a select few who were "ready" for a hefty fee of several thousand dollars. They created a sense of urgency and scarcity, pressuring individuals to act quickly. Only to continue recruiting to this day.
Once you entered their teachings, however, there were no clear, defined rules—only concepts that left plenty of room for interpretation. While there were occasional glimpses of success, it often felt like connecting dots where there were none, leading to significant losses and a lot of self-doubt. Over time, it became apparent that others in the "selected" group had similar experiences, with no true consistency or proof of success. Perhaps it was due to our own shortcomings in that we could not see the true value.
The most disheartening part of this is that it preyed upon the goodwill and enthusiasm of our close-knit community, tarnishing the trust we share.
Let me also state clearly: Let this be of no reflection on our mentor, who has never wavered or flinched in his overly generous and potent sharings. His teachings remain a beacon for many of us, and it was only our own desires and decisions that allowed us to be led astray. There are lessons to be learned in that as well.
I share this as a reminder: If someone claims to have special knowledge but cannot demonstrate it in real-time with transparency—such as live trades over a meaningful period, including profit and loss—they may be taking advantage of your trust. Be cautious of anyone who demands large sums of money with little verifiable evidence of their claims.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, feel free to contact me. However, please do not reach out with the intent of learning the identities of those involved. We are responsible for our actions and pursuits, and this is a moment for reflection, growth, and moving forward.
Yesterday, I shared a podcast on X called Friend or Enemy, which discusses Christian teachings on situations like this and how we can continue our journey despite setbacks. I’ll share it here as well for those who may find it helpful: [Stone Choir Podcast: Friend or Enemy](https://t.co/h4ncoFG0ft).
Stay vigilant and take care of one another. Our community deserves nothing less than honesty and integrity. Our family is amazing and led by and a stellar example of a being with unending generosity, please do not allow these occurrences do not tarnish his works.
Warm regards, your fellow traveler & friend. - VooDoo
I don't know who needs to hear this but Manifestation IS Real.
Luck does come to those that are always prepared.
& God will put you in the right position, and surround you with the right people.
It's a cycle.
So keep pushing to be lucky. Because I promise you it works.
Easily identify a LARPer/Fraud 101:
If I'm currently discussing my "time" invitation with you in my DMs, understand this doesn't necessarily apply to you and I'm not insulting you on here.
That said LARPers (live action roleplay, the term comes from those folks who dress up in medieval clothes and play knight at a festival) did inspire me to comment this. Let me start by saying that the online trading community or industry is filled with scams and wannabes.
A fraud attempts to get something out of you (money) by pretending to be something they're not (profitable). They sell mentorships, coaching, signals, courses after convincing you they're a successful trader. That's the fraud: "I am a successful trader and if you pay me I can teach you how to be successful too."
It's worth noting at this point that plenty of people document their trading journey. Some livestream to subsidize themselves. That's not a scam, not fraud, and not LARPing. Even if they charge you (time or money) YOU make that determination if you want to participate WITH THEM.
A LARPer on the other hand sounds harmless but is anything but. This person will usually sound esoteric, mystical, like they have secret knowledge. I'm sure you can think of at least one or two personalities that come to mind. A LARPer isn't necessarily interested in money but thrives off the clout they get. Sometimes they're just trolling. Other times they're delusional or maybe mentally ill. In some instances you will see personalities LARP for a long time then turn to fraud. Perhaps they have some secret, magical way of doing things... Then for just $300 a month or whatever you too can be in the wizard's court. It's always a similar playbook:
A mystical quote, hindsight markup, a promise that it's repeatable. That's the bait. Once they think they've generated enough interest they pull the hook. Not all LARPers will become frauds. Like I said, some are just mentally ill and I'm honest to God not making fun of that.
It's worth noting here that not everyone tweeting a mystical quote and sharing chart markups is trying to scam you either or necessarily LARPing. They don't owe you anything (unless you've paid them or they want payment) and you don't owe them anything either.
The commonality of LARPers and scammers is that they both hurt you in more ways than you think even if it's unintentional. A LARPer and fraud will both put your eyes on the wrong thing, teach you things that causes confusion, lead you astray, and so on.
That means you don't just lose out on progress, you actually move backwards in your understanding.
So how do you choose not to engage with these people?
My God, it's so simple a child could learn it.
If someone is explaining information they are either charging you for it or they are not. In either scenario you simply demand clear, concise explanation. That way you can research and prove it yourself. An actual altruist will have no problem clarifying. Alternatively demand that they demonstrate, repeatedly, that they can do it before the fact.
Recorded video of a trade happening is not proof.
Demo profits are not proof.
Them just saying they make money is not proof.
Them saying they took the trade is not proof.
MT4/5 is not proof.
Trade screenshots are not proof.
A vague explanation open to interpretation is not proof.
Other accounts claiming they're amazing is not proof.
Being on a podcast is not proof.
Being a "CEO" of a "company" is not proof.
Some of the scammers even work together.
They are counting on you being an uninformed sucker. They're counting on your FOMO. Don't give in. Be informed, demand accountability, and save yourself headache, heartache, and time. You don't have to go to war with these people. Don't waste any energy on them. Just block or ignore them and move on.
