Every day, someone online promises to 2x, 5x, or 10x your money with “secret strategies” and flashy screenshots. Most of them aren’t great traders, they’re great marketers.
Here are 3 major red flags to watch out for 👇
They Only Show Percentage Gains (No Dollar Amounts)
“+200% today!” sounds impressive… until you realize it was made on a $1 trade. Anyone can turn tiny money into huge percentages using high leverage or demo accounts.

Real traders don’t hide dollar PnL forever — and they don’t flex percentages nonstop. Percentages without context = smoke and mirrors.

See the pics to show you just how easy it is to do this, I had to do it with my account so the % is lower than what they usually post

Real Result:

They Use Extreme Leverage Compared to Their Signals
They post insane gains using 50x–75x leverage, but tell their followers to use 5x–10x “for safety.”
That means:
They take massive risks for screenshotsYou’ll never get the same results, even if you follow perfectly
It's a clever mind game. They look like trading experts while you're confused about why your results are so different. The reason is simple: you're playing a completely different game than they are. They're showing you Ferrari-level results but selling you something that barely runs.
Multiple Take Profits, One Stop Loss
This one is a mathematical trick. Their signals always have multiple targets (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4) and one stop-loss. Sounds professional, right?
Here's the scam: TP1 is super close to entry—maybe 0.5% away. It hits almost every time. Sometimes TP2 hits too. Then the trade reverses and stops out. But they still call it a "win" because two targets got hit.
They'll brag about an 80% win rate because most trades hit at least one target. But you're losing money because the losses are bigger than the wins. You need four winning trades just to recover from one loss.
A decent strategy should have at least a 1:1 risk-reward ratio. This is nowhere close. And that final target that would actually give you 1:1? You'll almost never hit it.
Bottom Line
Most trading influencers aren’t successful traders — they’re selling hope, not results. They've figured out how to sell hope to people who want quick money. Their real skill isn't reading charts, it's reading people.
Before you waste your time and money on these fakes, watch for the red flags, ask hard questions, and most of all, just learn trading yourself.
