Everyone thinks they know a profitable trader.
A friend, a Discord expert, a guy on YouTube trading “live,” or someone who always claims to “call the top.”
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If someone cannot show a verified, consistent track record, they are not a profitable trader — no matter how confident they sound.
The Harsh Reality of Trading
Trading is the easiest skill to fake and the hardest to prove.
Anyone can:
- talk confidently
- post screenshots
- show a few lucky trades
- claim they “predicted” the market
But unless there is:
- verified performance
- consistent equity growth
- real drawdown data
…it’s just noise.
No verified record = no evidence of profitability.
And when there’s no evidence, it usually means there’s no performance to show.
How Fake Trading Gurus Operate
You’ve seen the pattern countless times:
- profit screenshots
- “I called this move yesterday”
- Discord groups and mentorships
- excuses when asked for verification
When you request a verified record, they say things like:
- “My account is private.”
- “Verification isn’t important.”
- “Trust my students, not the stats.”
These are classic red flags.
A genuinely profitable trader can verify an account — even with hidden lot sizes or balances.
If they don’t show it, it’s because:
There’s nothing worth showing.
And if they make more money selling courses than trading?
That tells you everything you need to know.
What a Real Profitable Trader Actually Looks Like
A real trader does not need to shout.
They can quietly show:
- 12+ months of verified results
- reasonable drawdowns (under 30%)
- stable, logical growth (not 50% per month)
- a realistic trade count
- a regulated broker
- transparency about losing months
A real record includes losses.
That’s what makes it real.
How to Verify Any Trader in 30 Seconds
Ask for these three things:
- A verified Myfxbook or FXBlue link
- A regulated broker
- Visible drawdown and equity data
If they can’t provide these or give excuses
you already have the answer:
They’re not profitable.
Why This Matters
Trading is filled with noise, sales tactics, and unrealistic promises.
The industry doesn’t need more hype — it needs more transparency.
If someone cannot back up their claims with a verified record,
they are not traders.
They’re marketers.
So the next time someone claims to be “profitable,”
ask the only question that matters:
“Can I see your verified track record?”
If the answer isn’t a simple yes,
then the answer is no.

How do I verify if a trader is legitimate?
Ask for a verified Myfxbook/FXBlue link connected to a regulated broker. Look for consistent performance and visible drawdown.
Are screenshots enough to prove profitability?
No. Screenshots can be edited, cherry-picked, or taken from demo accounts.
Why do fake traders avoid Myfxbook verification?
Because it exposes their real drawdowns, trade frequency, and inconsistencies.
How much drawdown is normal for a real trader?
Anything under ~30% is realistic. Extreme returns often hide extreme risk.
Do real traders have losing months?
Yes. Every professional trader has losing periods — that’s normal and healthy.
