$110K last 30 days trading Gold

After 3 years of trading, I finally feel like I’ve cracked the code.

Over the years, I’ve been part of countless communities, spent a lot of money on mentors, and switched strategies more times than I can remember. Eventually, I realized that simplicity really is key.

About 3 years ago, I decided to start trading options. Looking back, I chose probably the most difficult path I could have taken. I started trading with my own money and blew account after account after account.

After 4–5 months, I switched to futures and prop firms. And, you guessed it, I blew evaluation after evaluation, even after passing some of them. I never managed to get a single payout.

At one point, I was in around 5 different trading communities, trying to learn as much as possible. But instead of helping me, it gave me a serious case of analysis paralysis. None of the communities were completely honest about what they were doing, so I kept jumping from one strategy to another while trying to combine their ideas with my own poorly developed edge.

After about a year of consistently losing money, I decided to go back to options. I had stumbled across a strategy that, in my opinion, seemed to work better on individual stocks.

And it kind of did.

For the first time, I was starting to see some consistency. However, because of the correlation and influence the “Big 7” have on each other, I was getting faked out quite often.

Then, one weekend while backtesting, I decided to test my strategy across different markets and pairs. That’s when I came across gold.

I had never really considered trading gold before, but after backtesting my strategy on it, I noticed something immediately: my edge worked WAY better on gold than it did on any stock I had tested.

From that day on, I started focusing on gold.

And the rest is history.

Last month, I didn’t have a single red day. Obviously, I still have losing days from time to time, but on average I’ve been making around $80K–$120K per month.

The crazy part is that, looking back, it’s actually much simpler than I ever thought it would be.

The hardest part was never finding the perfect strategy.

It was controlling my brain.

Having patience. Staying disciplined. Not constantly changing things when something doesn’t work for a few trades. Not chasing losses. Not overcomplicating something that was already working.

Those were things I struggled with A LOT during my first year of trading.

I’ve now been green every single month for the past 8 months, and I intend to keep it that way.

MarineXlambo / Valor Trading Group

I want to warn everyone about MarinexLambo / Valor Trading Group.
If you’re thinking about joining this community because of the flashy marketing and the extreme results that are being claimed, think twice.
I was in this group for around nine months. To be clear, I’m not someone who judges people quickly, so I gave it plenty of time before coming to any conclusions. But after nine months, I can honestly say that, this person acts unethically and dishonestly.

Let’s start with the fact that he appears to use fake Instagram followers, fake views, and fake comments on his videos. this creates a misleading impression of his popularity and credibility.

James claims to have a 95–100% win rate and says he doesn’t have losing days. That simply isn’t true. He regularly posts trades on social media that he presents as winning trades, even though he was stopped out on them. He also claims to have caught moves of 100–500 points when, in reality, the moves were often much smaller—around 20–80 points when he fully got out of the trade himself. Assuming he even took the trade himself.

When James gives a live trade call and the trade doesn’t go the way he expected, he becomes more negative about it but never clearly tells members whether to stay in or get out. If you get stopped out, he’ll later say, “I told you so.” If the trade eventually works out, he takes full credit for the move. No matter what the market does, he leaves things vague enough that he can always claim he was right. that’s sneaky and misleading.

His trade callouts also hit stop-loss far more often than he admits. Based on what I experienced, the real win rate felt closer to 20%, if not lower. Whenever you follow one of his callouts, your stop-loss gets hit, yet somehow his own stop-loss supposedly never does. I tested this multiple times using wider stop-losses, and the same thing kept happening.

Whenever someone points this out in the live chat, he denies everything and becomes very defensive. Critical messages in his community are removed, and if you post criticism, two or three of the same accounts immediately appear to attack you. In my these accounts appear suspicious and seem intended to discourage criticism.

He also only spends about 5–10 minutes actually trading. The rest of the livestream is spent talking down other trading communities and boasting about how great he is.

He uses the image of being an ex-military family man to build trust with potential customers, but he misleads people on multiple fronts.

The results he shares are always vague screenshots. I’ve never seen convincing proof that he genuinely makes the millions per month from trading that he claims. The student results are also always the same small group of people, and I suspect that many of those accounts are either friends, bots, or fake profiles.

Anyone who has been in this group and has had similar experiences should seriously consider requesting a chargeback for what they paid. I have talked to many people who have had the same experience and even some of them also posted online about it already. Customers are being seriously misled. And they shouldn’t settle for simply leaving the group they have every right to demand their money back.

I personally submitted detailed evidence to my credit card provider and filed a chargeback. If anyone wants to do the same, feel free to message me.

I have also reported these practices to multiple authorities. I’m an open-minded person and I don’t rush to judge people, but after giving this group nine months, I simply don’t believe James is trustworthy.
Ironically, I ended up joining another trading community that he constantly criticized during his livestreams, and so far I’ve achieved much better results there. Valor Trading Group cost me a significant amount of money and gave me nothing in return.
Stay away from it.

PS: I won’t be answering questions about which trading group I joined, because I don’t want this post to come across as an attempt to steer people toward another community. My goal is simply to share my experience with this group to warn people. Always do your own research before joining any trading group.
