Deron,
My concern is this... Have you listened to the claims you made in your own video? It is identical to Senen and Joel's scam. Do you have a proven track record of the false returns you are propagating? Do you think it's strange that you are promising the same thing with the same risk parameters Senen was? Word for word in much of your video. Its not even like you tailored it towards a unique program. This was scripted.
I sincerely doubt that you are a "good friends" of this supposed amazing trader in the UK. Is his name Kevin Clarke? LOL I'm sure it was Joel's contact. He seems to have a lot of these proprietary traders up his sleeve. You talk about how there are teams of traders always watching your account in the video, and now you're claiming it just one trader. You're obviously lying through your teeth. You set up your website because Joel convinced you it was easy to make money for nothing. I'm quite sure you didn't know that there was a deeper, more sinister scam beyond that. Perhaps Joel didn't even know... who the hell knows? Now that you know what happened, and still attempt to slip under the radar promoting the same BS, please understand we will not allow this to take place.
I'm very sure you are aware the JOEL INTRODUCED KEVIN CLARKE TO SENEN. KEVIN CLARKE WAS ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH IB CAPITAL. Collectively, there was a minimum of about $60million lost thanks to your good ole buddy Joel's greed. You are business partners with a scammer. You also are using all of his marketing material.
I'm guessing your not an evil person, but since you don't take any responsibility for misleading people and clearly lying, you're obviously very foolish and stupid. I spoke to officers at the CFTC and they are looking into your involvement. Trust me, if you aren't doing anything wrong, then you haven't a thing to worry about. If you are promoting scams, well... I'm sure it'll be an interesting few months.
Okay... you are making wayyyy too many assumptions without actually asking or looking for facts. I'm sure you've been manipulated before - but, that gives you no right to place false accusations. I'll address your comments one by one.
First of all, and I am so sick and tired of saying this... it is NOT ME. I am NOT a trader, advisor, or any other person who is directing people's accounts. It is NOT my track record. I endorse two separate trading systems on my site, nothing more.
Second, I NEVER ONCE made a promise. I say two things: "This is the past performance." AND "This is what the systems attempt to achieve." I never once said any sort of promise or guarantee. In fact, if you pay attention to anything I do, I always talk about RISKS before anything else and tell people clearly that there could be months without profits and months with losses. For people who have legitimately asked for proof in the past, I have gone to the trader or EA host, asked for the information, then sent the requester live statements from live accounts. Period.
Third, if you look on my website (and, if you actually read through this thread before commenting), you would know that there are two services endorsed through my site:
A managed account trader and a Forex EA. The video you watched is for the EA and has nothing - absolutely nothing whatsoever - to do with the trader.
Senen never once talked about the risks. I always do. Here, for instance, is an article I co-wrote a few months back (thank you very much - also found in the ProphetMax thread). Don't be fooled, I wrote more than two-thirds of that article:
When investing and human behavior collide: Painful lessons learned from millions lost
As for your assumption about the trader, you are absolutely wrong. Your blatant ignorance and presumptuousness makes you look like a pompous prick. I met Carlos completely outside of the realm of finance and became friends with him well before I had any interest in his trading / trading system. In fact, one of the most important things for me is the integrity of the person before I even care about what they have to offer.
If you had any sort of decency and professionalism, you would understand two things:
1. People MAY say some of the same things in their presentations.
2. I have never once believed in easy money. I built that website myself - hand-coded it. Did the research on the trading system, followed the system daily for 6 months, including tracking live accounts and account statements, and then I started building the website. Joel mearly assisted in the beautifying of the wording.
I couldn't give two ****s about Kevin Clarke, Senen, IB Capital, or even EVG. I have no relationship to any of them whatsoever. Never had. I don't know them; they don't know me. So, your continued commentary associating me with them is simply ridiculous.
You are absolutely right - I am doing nothing wrong. And, I am not worried about a damn thing. Why do you think I am on this forum responding as myself, taking all these false accusations and actually trying to set the record straight? Don't you think that if I were someone who scams others or who associates with known assholes that I would have run off by now with all of my supposed millions?
Or, maybe I would have just hid under a fake screen-name. You know what, maybe you're on to something here... I could set up a new screen-name: how about legal@5xtrading - that's a good one, right? Isn't that what all the scamming assholes are doing on this forum? Hmmmm? Bull****, I am here as me, never tried to hide, have nothing to hide; and, eventually, when you realize how false your accusations are, you're going to look like a fool for your ignorance.
I couldn't care less if the CFTC calls me. I'd be happy to speak with them and clear my name from all of your bull**** and the others that are bringing this garbage to me.
The funny thing is: You providing false accusations and false presumptions on this forum make you no better than marketers out there providing false claims of returns. You're leading people to a deep hole of deceit and ignorance.
So, I suggest you get your head out of your ass and stop making these bogus assumptions without having a damn clue as to the truth. Ignorance is stupid - especially in 2012.
