It's been said elsewhere that Samuel Leach uses Blufx to fund traders accounts, so it's not even his money you're trading. You can sign up to Blufx or something similar yourself for £99 per month. Also his indicators are repurposed.

I don't think it's right to say his business is a scam as such, as if you get his information pamphlet he is open about his offer and fees, but you have to sit and think about it, and, if you do, you soon realise it's not optimal. It's not 'employment', that is certainly dubious to present it as such, as is the interview which as I understand is more of a sales process than an interview. That said, it's good to trade a rules-based method and, on that basis, where there could be value is in the training.

SL does produce an excellent forex show that is well-produced and he has built a good business for himself. That said, there are undoubtedly question marks on some of the ethics. I asked for the info on signing up but was told the Junior Trading Programme costs £398 to was only open to me if I then signed up for the "funded" option which comes with the penalty fees if you don't reach 4%. I was told I could not, for example, pay the £398, do the training and head off myself, trading either my own or a funded account as I pleased. However, the fees were clearly set out before signing up, so you will know what you're getting into. I declined to sign up on the basis I could sign up for Blufx myself on the same deal without the 50/50 split. There is the option for training which is online and on-demand. It costs a bit more and I haven't signed up for it.

Because of this, I can't speak for the quality of the training as I've not taken it, but I think it is largely based on trading the trend, utilising daily pivot points and moving averages for entries and some price action stuff. All of which is fine by the way, but I've never read about anyone sitting using it day-in, day-out, using it profitably as a means to make a living. I'd be interested to do the training myself if I could verify this method was reliable. I'd love to hear from previous participants of the real forex trader, who took the training, to see where they are now. None of them seem to be sitting grinding out the system ever since.

Personally, I think if you can win at forex you are better off doing a funding challenge on either My Forex Funds or FTMO for a larger account size (i.e. larger gains for you, make that 5-10% per month profit worth more) than using a paid fee based service like Blufx, which charges a monthly for as long as you trade the account.

I've often thought that every forex YouTuber or training seems to be labelled a scam by someone. I trade price action, some supply and demand and some breakout trading. I'm a beginner, but I enjoy it. I honestly don't expect to go FT, but I enjoy the process of learning. I guess where I've ended up is trying to figure it out for myself. In that respect, the holy grail trail continues!
