I so wish I'd seen your posts Jinny! I joined IIC in my search for investment coaching and opportunities for our self managed super fund. I liked Senen's approach to creating opportunity and managing one's emotions around investment. I still do. However I'm massively unimpressed that the issue of stop losses seems to have been completely ignored by Senen Pousa, ProphetMax and Kevin Clarke, the Director and head trader of Global Forex Management, in their communications about this issue. They simply take no responsibility.
Unfortunately for me this was the first days trading on my account so I deposited $10k one day and had $3.7 left the next day which isn't much fun. Fortunately I decided to try the service with the minimum amount so have only lost some risk capital.
I understand risk and how unpredictable the market can be. However I don't understand how a professional prop trading group can lose 65% of an account in one trading session - especially when the service is promoted as having strict loss limits (as every prop trader I know has strict loss limits built into their trading software/account/platform).
Nor do I understand how the trades shown on my statement can be anything but algorithmic trades - they're seconds and fractions of seconds apart. It's a shame that there are so many bloody liars in the financial services industry.
To add to the confusion, Senen doesn't seem to know what country his business is located in, nor which parts of the services he promotes are even his! lol (bog standard tactics for shysters looking to confound on jurisdiction)
Anyway ... to ensure others have access to balanced information and real data should they be considering Senen Pousa, ProphetMax, Kevin Clarke and Global Forex Management in future,I am posting my statement and Senen's letter of explanation here. The short answer is "RUN!" but don't take my word for it - should you be inclined to investigate further, at least now you'll have some honest facts on which to base your decision:
