...and the same people who made negative comments about GTEX Global and City Financial Traders and look what happened to them. Savi were in the process of being struck off just a few days ago and lied about the reasons for Companies House taking action against them.
Just give them your money and find out for yourself. After all you only have to consistently make 10%, what could possibly go wrong?
To be honest, I would be careful about what you read on these forums, as there seems to be a lot of sceptical people on here. Over the past year, a lot of firms have received negative comments, such as not lasting, and offering bad services etc. I must admit, some of them are scams, and these get caught out quickly (hence Gtex Global and City Financial traders are already out of business, despite only starting at the start of the year), whereas some are legitimate companies (Schneiders, Futex, Savi, Amplify), to name a few, based on the fact they have been running a number of years. The fact that they are still around after such a period says to me they are not in it to take your money and disappear – this is the problem for any new company that comes into this industry, but as these firms have now been running and growing for a sustained period I feel it is safe to say they are not scams. As I say, there are a lot of people who spend all their time in slagging others off, hence I would read some of the comments with a pinch of salt.
I have joined one of the above firms, and I must say I am more than happy with the training I have received. I do not wish to say which one, as I do not feel I need to be selling their product for them or seem biased, but the mentors have been great, training material great as well, to the point where I AM trading and creating an income for myself. There are some UNBIASED tips which I would give to someone who is looking at these firms to help make up their mind as to whether to join a programme or not.
1. Do not listen to the cynics on here. Make up your own mind. The people who sit on here badmouthing firms do not usually have anything else better to do or have alterior motives.
2. Do research into the firm, i.e. speak to people at the firm. Meet the mentors. Go and see the office. Basically see them in action as this is the best way to see them. Some firms have seminars. I think you are better off going to see them during the trading day, as that way there is nothing they can hide because you can meet some of the traders on the floor, etc.
3. Go through the contract with a fine comb, I know I did. If you are trading their money, you should not be liable for any losses which is incredibly important. Also, make sure your steps are highlighted to you clearly, in terms of trading firm capital etc. I know a lot of people say they will not give you capital to trade, It may be true in some cases, but I must state that with my firm I have been given capital to trade, so as long as you meet the targets they set then it should happen.
4. See all the different firms to get a better idea as to which firm may fit in with what you want.
5. I did the course on the trading floor, which I think is a massive benefit, as you are amongst the traders and mentors. This is a must in my eyes.
6. If you are looking to do something remotely, I think it is important that you do not sign up just by the phone call, if at all possible make sure you go in and see the set-up as this way you can judge for yourself whether they are what they say or not.
There are some other newish firms around like LGI, London stone trading etc. I feel these are too new to build up a track record (in that they have only been running for as long as GTEX, etc), but I certainly think the above 4 are worth looking into, as they are a lot more established.
Hope this helps. Trading is not an easy game, you can try and invest the money and learn yourself, but I felt I wanted to try and do it properly, rather than lose a bit of money and think I did not know what I am doing, and leave trading forever because of that. Any questions, please PM me. Good luck!!
