@mw108 With due respect, not a single question was answered by you or the OP
Sorry for my late response. I just saw that thread and that you are still on a crusade. Besides that, I don't really care much about that.

Are FTMO scammers or not? I don't know. And I don't care. I'm not planning to sign up with them or anything.
I just don't like vocal people terrorizing others because of assumptions they believe are fact. Thats why I spoke on behalf of FTMO.

Using generic stock photos of people instead of real pictures is a common practice many companies use. Even if it is just for privacy reasons. But with those few presumptive evidences you wouldn't win any court case for sure.

In the end it all depends on what you believe. If you believe they are scammers you will see any hint or "evidence" from that perspective. I mean there are still people nowadays who strongly believe that the Earth is flat and they have strong arguments too. Does that mean they are right? Depends on what you believe too I guess.

And PS:
Just to show how easily you can twist arguments. In the FTMO thread you said you have "Friends working in the financial sector".
Now you suddenly say you are working in a trading house in London and present a screenshot where you claim thats your working desk.
Maybe thats a screenshot one of your friends gave you and you pasted your browser screenshot in?

Proof 1:
The timestamp of your forum says "9:06 am", while the timestamp of "your" Windows says "14:08".
But UK usually doesn't use a 12 hour notation in the Industry, but rather 24 hour notation. Also your Browser is using your local regional settings.
And this also doesn't explain the 5 hours difference.

Proof 2:
No Browser icon on "your" Taskbar?!

So these proofs look like you are more likely from the USA and that you really just pasted your Browser screenshot into someone else's screenshot from his desk.

Long story short: Screenshots prove nothing. Especially when they are obviously badly faked.

@mw108
Thank you for taking the time back to answer.

You are using the straw man argument - you cannot refute what I say so you try and attack me. However I have no fears as I can answer your questions and I am wiling to prove who I am :-)

So, lets get started.

In answer to your questions:

Time differences:
The time is no issue at all. I am in the UK which is 5 hours ahead of the US (or wherever FF gets it's local time from?)

The UK has winter saving, the last Sunday, in October so whereas there is usually a 5 hour time difference between UK and US, it goes to 6 hours until the US catches up (not sure what it does in March)

As can be seen from the image attached, my pc shows 11:38 whereas FF is showing 6.38 (I refreshed the FF page just before the screenshot).

Plus, FF does not refresh real time (unlike pc clock time), you need to refresh the page (or go to another one) for time to update. So if I hadn't refreshed my FF page, at the moment of the screenshot, there could be differences compared against the pc time)

Hope this clarifies to all. In fact anyone from the UK should be able to verify and confirm this :-)

Agreed this can be so. I did say friends as I wanted to protect who I was. I then decided to just come out and say it as it was.

However, as you saw, I attached my FF screen logged in screen next to the Bloomberg and Eikon screens.
As I have said, I am happy to take a screen shot of ANY BBG /Eikon screen to show as proof so anyone is free to ask away - within reason (I don't want to be taking hundreds of screenshots a day)

Please feel free to speak to Forexfactory - I have no idea how the local times on here are calculated or on what basis.

Quoting mw108
{quote}
Proof 4:

I have never said I was at Goldman Sachs ( I am not)

And to prove screen shots, please give me a time to be online (UK 2-5pm suits me usually Monday to Friday). Send me say any 2-3 web pages, and I will take a snapshot of them together with FX/Indices prices up from Bloomberg/Eikon screens and post them real-time. I will try and get this done in under 2 minutes - so you can see it is real time and that obviously I have no time to make fake pages. Agreed?


So, fact is I have answered every single one of your queries and where I couldn't (why FF local times are different) I have asked you to please ask ForexFactory (maybe someone else can answer?)


And here is one more proof from me. If you are ever in London (City near Liverpool Street Station), I will invite you over to my work place so you can see for yourself.

So, I am prepared to prove every one of your doubts, on here and in person (should you ever take up my invitation to visit my work place)

Now, I notice you have still not provided proof of the validity of FTMO or why they are using fake pictures of who they claim are their traders? Also, you have not provided any proof of the immaterial history and background of the founders who claim they are successful traders.

So, once again, please provide proof.

Why should I not let go and keep asking for proof? There are plenty of people on here that have helped others to avoid being scammed. If I can give something back, why should I not?

All commercial vendors on here should prove who they are and back up their claims. I have yet to see a single one from FTMO.

Yes, I understand where you want to go. And with respect to your good will, but this is not up to you to decide. If FF wanted to put tight regulations on Commercial members, they would. But they don't.

Your only "proof" of them being scammers is that they show you no proof that they are not. And that they use generic pictures of people, instead of real ones. So for you they are guilty until they can proof they are innocent. And talking about law: Law sees it the other way around. One is innocent until proven guilty.

And I've pointed you a dozen times to "Topstep Traders" already. They have the same business model and don't show any proof or license or regulations. Yet they are one of the most reputable providers for funded traders. So whats the point? Because you smell fish doesn't mean there is fish. Maybe its just your nose.

Maybe FTMO are scammers. Maybe they are not. Should they provide proof? Yes, definately. This would help their reputation. But they don't. But this doesn't make them scammers automatically. Maybe they just don't want to bother? As they have already said, they are planning to acquire a license. So why are you personally making such a fuzz about it?

You claim to be working in the financial industry. So you should know you are (or your company is) only making money if somebody else loses money. Thats how the market moves. While your company is making a million, somebody else loses a million, maybe his job, his house, etc. Where is your ethics and your righteousness about that? Think about it and then compare it to that what you are doing here.

Anyways, believe what you want mate. I'm out. I have better things to do.

Hello Tesmy,

I must admit that you put some serious work to discredit us, the good thing is that we have nothing to hide. I would understand your behaviour if you have failed the Challenge and lost your fee, but you have zero experience with us.

Ok, l will first comment pictures (Capture12a) you found about us. This page startupvsem.cz is a start-up center, where we won in 2016 a first prize with this project. We received new offices and mentoring.

(Capture12b) You are also saying that we tried to sell the mediocre seminar to some traders. The first thing is that the seminar was free for everyone, the second thing is that it wasn’t mediocre, it was good , the last thing is that the main organizer was BossaFX (one of our partners). They like our applications, which we provide to our traders, so they invite us to talk about them. Yes, we got paid for the talk, but from the BossaFx not from the visitors. The BossaFX is an FX company of a huge Polish bank Bank Ochrony Środowiska S.A. They would never cooperate with anyone who is not legitimate. They are very, very conservative.

You are also trying to discredit our qualification for managing the project. You can see that we are young, but that doesn’t mean we are scammers. We work our asses to provide the best possible services to our traders. I have a fresh master’s degree in economics from the best school in our country, I have also studied in a Seoul Nation University, which is among the best 50 universities in the world. The two other co-founders are finishing their master’s degrees in January. You are completely right that a part of our everyday work is to provide interesting articles about trading, but we are not selling any trading education at all.

You are still repeating that we are involved in a money laundering activity. That is completely wrong. Every account is in the ownership of our company, we do not send trading capital anywhere. The only payments, which goes outside of the company are profit splits and fees which we refund to successful candidates.
The other thing you keep saying that we are not licensed company. We do not accept money as deposits, we do not provide any investment services, we are just employing and cooperating with traders, who trade our capital. We do not need a license from a central bank for that.

Another thing you wrote is that we do not care about trader´s psychology and personality. That´s correct, we are interested just in trading results. If a trader experience losses after becoming the FTMO trader thats our business risk.

You have already found our business identification number – 03136752 (it is no secret). Our VAT (DIČ in Czech) is CZ03136752. We were incorporated at the Commercial Register kept by the Municipal Court in Prague, section C, insert 227963. If you want to read our general terms and conditions (GTC) you can find them here: https://ftmo.com/en/terms-conditions/

Let´s move to our backed traders. We are still waiting for a first backed trader in the FTMO, because we are very new, but first traders are in the Verification phase. Hopefully we will get soon some first-hand reviews from FF members. We have backed many traders in the Czech/Slovak project. The account management works, in most cases, through a demo account which is connected to our real capital (see the website or GTC). If a trader scalps hundreds of trades a day, we provide the trader with a real account. In some cases these traders need a license issued by a proper authority. The capital management through a demo account is from a risk perspective much safer for us. Trader´s profit will follow the results of his/her demo account. For this reason, the majority of traders trades on a demo accounts, which are connected to our master account.

This trader scalped a lot so he received live account owned by the company:

Here is the payment confirmation, we made to the trader. This trader works on a cooperation agreement, so he receives full 70 % his profits. This monthly return is our record.

Are these two examples enough? I want to say that we have always met our commitments to traders. We paid in full both profit shares and fee refunds.

You are right about the pictures next to the Testimonials. Most of the pictures are from a photo database, but this is normal. I think that you would hardly look for a website with genuine pictures in the Testimonials section.

You can see that we really value our reputation, If there are still some things you need to clarify, are you willing to set up a Skype call with us?

@mw108:

Morning,

Again, accusations despite my proofs and now, an all out attack on the ethics and morality of the entire trading World.
You cannot find fault with my proofs and so you continue to find other things to attack.

However lets take these one at a time:

1 - I have no idea how FF's times work. As I said, please feel free to contact them and ask them to validate my IP address or whatever other checks they wish to undertake to prove I have not tampered with my time zone setting s and they are as they are.

2 - {quote}Why would Chrome group up with unrelated icons? [/quote] Especially if you only have one Window opened. I've never seen it doing that.
No idea. It is what i it. Just becasue you have not seen it does not make it invalid.

3 - quote=mw108;10492794]{quote}No? But 3- you seem to have plenty time for your childish crusade. [/quote]
Wanting proof from a vendor is childish? I think you'll find millions around the World would disagree with you. If this is so, then why (in the UK at least) has the country had centuries of 'Sales of goods act", which attempts to protect the buyers against vendors?

4 - quote=mw108;10492794]{quote}And talking about law: Law sees it the other way around. One is innocent until proven guilty. [/quote]
Actually no. "innocent until proven guilty" is valid in criminal cases. In civil cases (which this is as the vendor is asking us to trust them that they are actually offering the service they claim to be), this most certainly is not the case. In the UK, "...In civil cases, the plaintiff has the burden of proving his case by a preponderance of the evidence...", In this case, the Vendor to prove they are who they say they are and that they are actual offering what they claim to be.

So, you have LOST the legal argument.

5 - quote=mw108;10492794]{quote}While your company is making a million, somebody else loses a million, maybe his job, his house, etc. Where is your ethics and your righteousness about that? [/quote]

Oh my GOD. I think you have just shot yourself in the mouth and the foot at the same time.
Are you seriously trying to discredit me with this argument?

Isn't every single person on FF or similar sites doing exactly the same thing? Isn't that the basis of Financial trading? Isn't that what you are doing when you trade?

If I, or my firm, is claiming to offer something for a fee but is in no position to do so, yes, that is a crime. But if we are what we say, then that is legal irrespective of what ones thoughts about are regarding the ethics of said offered services.

You really have lost if this is the best you can muster.

So - I notice you did not accept any of my offers to prove who I am via my two suggestions? Why? Afraid I will be found to be true?

@TraderOtakar

Thank you for replying.

Lets start:

1 - We are still waiting for a first backed trader in the FTMO
Really, then why does your web site show plenty of backed traders, together with testimonials and FAKE pictures? You have not answered this.

The fake pictures suggest you have something to hide. You are suggesting all these people are real. That is deception.

2 - Ok, l will first comment pictures (Capture12a) you found about us. This page startupvsem.cz is a start-up center, where we won in 2016 a first prize with this project. We received new offices and mentoring.
Yes, and it shows your qualifications. You claim to be successful traders yet there is nothing on there that suggests any of you have successful careers or experience as traders.

3 - You are also saying that we tried to sell the mediocre seminar to some traders. The first thing is that the seminar was free for everyone, the second thing is that it wasn’t mediocre, it was good.
Good is subjective. But it seems all you are doing is selling/promoting a FX trading house. This proves nothing. Plenty of retail FX houses have seminars which provide no real depth of information, nothing that can be gathered free on-line.
And reading the site of BossaFX, it seems they offer these types of seminars regularly which have no real content. It is meant to entice the newbie.

4 - You are also trying to discredit our qualification for managing the project
No I am not. I am discrediting your claims that you are all "successful traders". You have provided zero proof that any of you have ever traded successfully.

5 - You are still repeating that we are involved in a money laundering activity.
No I am not. I have stated that you have stated that your money is from a "private investor". You have said you are not regulated or licensed. Without these basic requirements, we have zero ideas whether your funds (if any) are legitimate or not.

6 - Another thing you wrote is that we do not care about trader´s psychology and personality.
Anyone who claims this is indeed deluded about trading. Trading is all about psychology and personality.

Are you trying to tell me you will learn all about a person and their trading system/style from 2 demo trading tests that last a total of 2 months? Rubbish.

If you are seriously looking for good traders, as you claim your objective is to make money, why not consider traders who are already trading real money and managing money? This will tell/show you way more than a demo test. Fact is, you are first and foremost, looking for fees. You fail on this argument alone if you were truly looking for good traders to make you money.

6 - You have already found our business identification number – 03136752 (it is no secret). Our VAT (DIČ in Czech) is CZ03136752. We were incorporated at the Commercial Register kept by the Municipal Court in Prague, section C, insert 227963. If you want to read our general terms and conditions (GTC) you can find them here: https://ftmo.com/en/terms-conditions/

Yes, and they show nothing about your successful trading past or even how much you continue to make.
Your terms and conditions show nothing, they primarily re-iterate what are terms to be funded. The rest makes no reference to the legal/financial authority someone who pays you can go to for adjudication should matters un-scramble.

7 - This trader scalped a lot so he received live account owned by the company:
The fxBlue link you sent, that is only from July to August. What has happened since? We are supposed to believe one months statistics (see attached image). Hardly a great proof.

Can you provide more live FXblue? Or even your own history?

Seems like all your traders are trading through Mt4/5 so providing such live data should be simple yes?

These limited screen shots - prove nothing.

8 - If a trader scalps hundreds of trades a day, we provide the trader with a real account. In some cases these traders need a license issued by a proper authority. The capital management through a demo account is from a risk perspective much safer for us.
I am sorry but this is rubbish. I have never heard a reputable trading firm that forces it's clients to trade on a demo, then linking it to real account. This alone smells of an amateur set-up.

No legal "prop show", trading house etc, would ever do this. It is pointless and makes zero sense especially if (in your own words) keep control of the trading account at all times.


As I said, you still have not proved that you are genuine and that you have the funds you claim to have to give to wannabe traders to invest..

If you really were looking for good traders to make you money, you simply cannot answer why you will not consider established traders who have months of verified trading history using REAL money. This is a much better test than 2 months demo.

I have seen how legal prop shows work, how banks work. I have seen how they do not let traders loose with live money just by showing two months demo trading. Are you trying to tell me you have found a better way of finding good traders?

live account owned by the company: https://www.fxblue.com/users/fftrader
@TraderOtakar,

What I would like to know is about the fxblue account you have pointed to.

1 - Why is it only showing 39 days history? Looks like there has been no trading since 14-Aug-2017. Where is the rest? What happened?

2 - As can be seen from one of the images, the first trading history that was uploaded to this account was made 14-Jul-2015. So according to this, you guys have been around a lot longer and been using this account?

3 - If point 2 is correct, can you tell me where all the history is between 14-Jul-2015 and 03-Jul-2017 (the date for when your screenshots apparently show the first trade?)

4 - The activity on this account. Started (apparently) in July. Traded until August, where $6.8k was withdrawn. Then the account seems to sit idle with $10k in. So three months and no productive use of $10k?


Attached are screenshots to verify what I am writing.

Thank you.

There is absolutely no doubt that more money is made in retail forex from fraud rather than from legitimate foreign currency (forex) proprietary traders

@TradeOtakar You have failed to answer every single one of my questions so you have decided to ban me form your thread instead. I thank you for that as it proves you are a scammer only interested in fees rather than backing nay traders. Please provide the proofs I asked for in post 148 of your thread. Especially: 1 - A verified myfxbook from your backed traders. 2 - As you claim to be such successful traders, a verified myfxbook from yourselves 3 - Your legal standing and business registration numbers.

It's not going to surprise you what happened to me a while ago. I told FTMO in this forum that they removed a user from their thread. I was aware of your case and that's why I told them that.

But as they use to do, they lied:

This is part of the post:
PaulMF has been the most active user with over 60 posts since the last update. Sadly, many of those posts are plain, biased accusations of us being “liars”, “fraudulent”, etc., or completely false information (such as FTMO removing anyone from the thread)

I've been attacked by them and their relatives all the time. They insult me, they are rude and never want to enter into any debate. I'm sad, abandoned from any regulation or moderator.

They reserve their right to do whatever they want, whenever they want.

It is clearly stated that you may be rejected by the FTMO Trader Program "for no reason".

FTMO and other firms have T&C full of abusive clauses. No company in the European Union should be allowed to function like this.
This simply is not acceptable at all!
I also remember that episode with Victore, they initially tried to expurgate him, then when they saw universal public rejection they retracted.
Have shame FTMO!
Follow your guts, if you want to lose your money...
