# TL;DR: I got scammed too. Now I share my pain (and P&L) for free/cheap. Mentorship should NOT cost $1,500. Join the $40-a-month anti-Lambo club.
Hey u/spaceranger696969, that's a *great* question, and you're 100% right: 99% of them are glorified charlatans.
I’m the poster child for your post, because I was **burned** by these "gurus" (looking at you, popular ICT concepts ðŸ˜). I lost a ton of cash chasing their magical guidance.
That's the main reason I started posting my wins, losses, and massive screw-ups on r/futuresmove. Calling them out wasn't enough; I needed to show what *real* trading looks like.
# The Truth They Don't Want You to Know (It’s Not Magic)
* **I Am Not a Mentor (And Never Will Be):** I will **NEVER** charge you **$1,500** for a course. That's insane! Most of the foundational stuff they claim to teach is available **online for free.**
* **The Vicious Cycle:** Trading is hard because everyone is fighting for your money:
* **The Broker:** Gets a commission whether you win or lose. They don't care about your P&L.
* **The Guru:** Often earns commission if you deposit money with *their* recommended broker. They want you to keep depositing!
* **The Fake Expert Redditor:** Just wants to sound smart.
* **What I** ***Actually*** **Focus On:** The boring, non-Lambo stuff that keeps you alive:
* The fundamental **WHY** behind 1−2% risk.
* The superpower of a solid Risk-to-Reward (RR) ratio.
* Managing losses (It’s the most important thing!).
* Accepting that 40%−70% is a **GOOD** win rate.
* A 3−10% return **a week** is freakin' amazing.
* Understanding the **randomness** of the market.
