Awesome Service

STS is an awesome service with a very easy to follow strategy. In one month my view of the market and my trading skill increased tenfold. Ken genuinely cares about the success of his members and wants to see us win! He also is always readily available for questions, comments and concerns. Thank you Ken!

Easy to follow profitable system

The STS system took me from random spurts of success to passing the first phase of a prop firm funding test in under a month. If you are serious about taking trading to the next level I strongly recommend STS for it's tools and educational material.

I previously had a 5 star review

I previously had a 5 star review for STS but I've since deleted it so I can provide a more up to date review.

I was a member and admin for Ken where I handled support, payments, and his FB messages among other things for STS. So I have a business review and a trading review.

When it comes to our business agreement, he didn't keep his part of the deal no matter how much work I did for him. I also caught him being dishonest when it comes to how much STS was making, which was his reason for not keeping his agreement. He told me that the numbers were down so much that he couldn't afford to pay what we had agreed on. When I checked the back office and checked the numbers for the previous year I seen otherwise. Were the numbers down, yes. Were they sufficient enough to keep your agreement, most definitely. It was at that moment I stopped making myself available for STS.

My trading review - as a longtime member I wasn't ever able to become profitable and STAY profitable. He told me the real winning % of the indicators so I stopped using them. I decided to trade us30 which wasn't something he traded and that's when I started becoming a better trader. He wanted me to teach it in the group, set my EA up with alerts for STS members, or sell it to STS members and thank goodness I never did.

As an affiliate for STS - and as the person who referred the most people, I feel we were more of an inconvenience than anything. He never sent payments out on time. Still doesn't actually. (I also sent commissions to our members for a period of time as one of my duties and I never knew when he was going to send the report but it was always late.) That's not how you run a business & treat those who are growing your business either.

All in all I'd say we had high hopes & were really looking forward to growing STS. We all believed he had the knowledge to get us profitable but in the end it was just about how many subscriptions he could keep from month to month or how many one time fee indicators he could sell for a quick 10k.

Why I left STS

After being a member for a long time, i was getting more and more confused about his approach of trading. If a system is good and profitable, i understand you can try to find ways to make it better, but by releasing system after system all with a different approach of trading, i am getting more and more the feeling that i did end up at a marketeer instead of a trader willing to share his knowledge. Also i was getting to the point of sharing more knowledge then gaining and still paying contribution. that was for the me the trigger to follow my own path away from STS.

I was a partner with Ken

I was a partner with Ken, the owner of Simple Trading Solutions since 2019.

There is alot that could be said but these are the main points:
1. He's congenial as heck, don't be fooled.
2. He doesn't actually care if his indicators work.
3. He doesn't care if you're successful.
4. He has to keep developing new shiny toys because they always have poor performance rates.
5. He will lie to your face and smile while sticking a knife in your back.
6. He won't pay you on time IF he pays you at all for being an affiliate or business partner.
7. He knows his stuff isn't good and sells it anyway.
8. He'll befriend you just to scalp your ideas off of you, develop them poorly on his own, make all the profit and then talk poorly about you.
9. He will go back on his word, ignore you and speak poorly about you for trying to hold him to his word.

Buyer beware.

If you want to learn how to trade with banks then you need Order Flow software and you shouldn't trade on simple mt4/mt5 candle charts. Neither banks nor professional traders who are consistently profitable trade using simple candle charts. Neither should you.

I’ve been in sooooooo many trading…

I’ve been in sooooooo many trading groups and companies over the years while I did learn most styles were difficult and not profitable. BUT STS is so simple and that’s what you need and want as a trader. The way how we all trade as a group and help each other will give any trader the support needed whether your experienced or not. I highly recommend STS, jump on Ken and Alex’s weekly webinars to learn simple profitable strategies, both large capital and funded traders! I absolutely love the price action we learn of a simple LB pattern and once you see it and apply it it will take your trading to a level you can’t imagine!!

best thing ive ever done in my trading journey

STS is absolutely amazing.. Ken has put together something very special with this program.. whether youre an intraday trader or a swing trader there is something for everyone.. Alex in the swing trading room on discord has been everything ive ever hoped for in a mentor.. Ken has custom indicators and tools to help with any kind of trading, that you can download directly from the backoffice on the website.. but the discord channel is where all the fun and magic happens.. chat rooms full of funded traders and traders eager to learn from all across the world.. STS is the best decision ive ever made in my trading journey and i am currently taking a real funded account challenge and well on my way to becoming a full time trader thanks to Ken, Alex, and the community at STS.. if youre willing to put in the work and take the next leap forward in your trading career, check out STS .. regards, Jonathon

I have been apart of STS for 4 years now. I joined with Ken from the beginning and boy can I say it has come a long way and grown sooo much.

Ken and the other traders at STS really make it like a second family and care about one another a success.

The education provided within this mentorship is like no other and is by far the greatest investment I ever made in myself!!

Serious about trading Forex - STS is the place to be

I have been trading for over 6 years now and have been part of a number of groups over that period. The support and coaching at STS is by far the best I have come across. More recently I have moved to the swing trading group within STS and the leadership and encouragement from Alex who heads up this group is excellent. He never seems to sleep as he is always to answer your questions, offer guidance and celebrate in your success. His weekly webinar at the start of each trading week sets you up for the coming trading week and gets you to focus on the high probability trades. I would have no hesitation in recommending this group to anyone who is serious about trading forex.

Life Changing!!!!!

I don’t know where to start. My journey with STS has been amazing. I started my journey almost 4 years ago, a friend got me involved in an IML company. I paid absurd monthly expenses, they threw so much stuff at you that your brain was overwhelmed. It was always something different each week, there wasn’t as such, this is how you trade and these indicators can help you do that. It was very confusing and I wasted almost 3 years with them. I was ready to quit, give up, I just had enough and wasted so much money. I then came across STS on Fb about a year ago and I have never looked back, they taught one way how to trade, made it simple and efficient and then designed indicators that would help us trade that style. I have just recently passed 2 firm challenges and now are fully funded. I would not be where I am today without the help of STS. They are affordable, they have amazing chat rooms where help is always available. I can not say enough amazing wonderful things about Ken and Co that have made STS what it is today. Quite simply they are changing everyone’s lives in these groups and just give them a try, even if it’s 3, 4 months if your sceptical about it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain just as I have achieved 😊

"Simple Trading Solutions" by far the…

"Simple Trading Solutions" by far the best forex trading group you will ever experience.I am saying this because before i found STS i was with another forex group and they pushed more of selling there memeberships to site then teaching you how to trade. Now where are they closed!! Not only you getting a great strategy, taught by the owner Ken Baggett,and Alex but a ton of value for what he teaches you to become a successful trader. When you become a member you will get access to 4 webinars a week and an awesome trading plan that will teach you how to become profitable with discipline and the right mindset. Not only will you have Ken and alex but all the other members to help you along the way. I have been apart of STS for 1 years and I have never seen such an easy approach to trading the Forex Market. Ken also has some wonderful indicators on the website also to help you if you follow his rules on trading with them. 2021 is going to be a great year i cant wait to see what else ken has in store for this great group.

Proceed with caution

I gave 2 stars because I did learn while I was here but if you ask me if it was worth the politics, anxiety or how this group made me feel, it wasn’t.

1.) The owner/teacher struggles with punctuality. Ive been a member since March and could probably count on one hand how many weekly webinars he’s been on time for. And same for paying his affiliates on time.

He became sick not long ago and missed an entire week of webinars and providing a list to members (included in membership). It took days before anyone knew what was going on or how to proceed. I believe it was 2 days before a member of his “core team” decided to share with us that he was ill.

2.) He made many promises that went unfulfilled. His new site launched about 4 months after it was intended to. And even then it is far from complete. His affiliates were marketing based off these promises (known to him) and we had to kind of take responsibility as we went for going by what we were told. We were also promised higher commissions once the price of his mentorship rose and we recently found out that that’s not the case. We’d have to meet a requirement of X amount of recruits in order to do so. He’ll pay a higher rate for all referrals once you met the requirement but that was not what we were told all along. He also doesn’t pay like an MLM. He made these plans with his “core team” although we thought we were a part of the core team.

It is MUCH better than the previous system and does have useful things available but what I was sold on was not what I got. Nothing for crypto (webinars), prop firm funding, or additional webinars through out the week as promised, but they’re still in the works supposedly.

3.) He had a massive team of people ready and willing to help him get these things implemented and for whatever reason, chose to place more hurdles in between those willing to help and the perks he promised them. Many are taking HUGE steps back if not leaving the company.

4.) He made his affiliates think he had a relationship with him yet has issues responding or getting back to them with how he’d like things done and were left to figure it out or wait until he or his “core team” respond.

I asked him once what got him into Forex and when and this was his response. It didn’t answer either of my questions and was clearly a copy/paste response:

“ So it really just came with time AND repetition. I didn’t have anyone to teach me this style like the group does.

So I had to find what worked and stick to it, every single time following the exact same rules. That way it became like a habit, it allows me to make tiny little changes over time to improve my trading as I gain more experience. I still add little things here and there but they are tiny and tested over and over

I also had a lot of capital when I started trading, so I didn’t build any bad habits trading a small account, trying to “get rich” or hit it big. It’s always been % based and that makes it easy for me to stay calm

Practicing on a demo account for 2-3 months with positive results. Knowing you did it the same way over and over makes it easy to flip over to a live account and duplicate it 🏆”

5.) Support requests go unfulfilled for weeks at a time. We have a billion chat channels to communicate with but god forbid you ask something that no one but him or his team know the answers to, you’ll be redirected to send an email to a place we’re told he only checks (possibly) once per month.

6.) we used to have access to all previously recorded webinars 100+, and now, in the migration if you weren’t a part of the previous system, you cannot access but maybe 12 of them total.

7.) There are always technical issues with his tools causing lags or your terminal to totally freeze. These things are generally fixed mid week while people are trading really interrupting their process. Another reason I was less apt to use them. I also wanted to learn for myself how to trade properly because I’ve been burned by previous “mentorships/academies”

Again, I did learn a lot with this group, however I personally feel there is tons of info missing from the education offered. You’re encouraged mostly to rely on the tools provided (which are not necessary for his strategies). Things like indicators or his levels/structures. He’ll teach you some of what he does if you ask on a webinar but it’s my belief, he omits important info needed to implement it the exact same way as I’ve found things necessary in other places that he hasn’t shared with the team (while I’ve been a part). I wish I’d left when I realized I wasn’t really learning any more with this group. There are many more things I could share that are more so implied but may not really affect the majority of regular members and would most likely be talked down or discredited because I cannot show proof. I would recommend if you decide to join, that you do so with caution, take what you need and go.

Brianna I am sorry that you are upset with the recent changes STS has made to the affiliate program.

We are working towards creating equal opportunities for all affiliates within STS and not just the small group of affiliates you call the "core team"

I have also read through all your comments here and I am happy to make improvements to items related to trading and what is offered through an STS membership. This includes item 5, 6 and 7

The other issues you have listed relate to an affiliate system with new changes we made and are in no way related to a STS subscription or trading education provided. This also comes directly after you found out about the new comp plan for affiliates and asked to cancel your account and still be paid commissions. This is against our terms of agreement.

When a person joins STS, they are not offered an affiliate career. They are offered trading education and custom indicators they can choose to use. You know we do not ask members to rely on the indicators.

5 - We are constantly making improvements to our support system. We just went through a migration to a brand new site and delays were expected and announced. We have continued to improve support. I check it daily and have a hired assistant that manages it as well. You know this Brianna.

6 - This is not true. We have uploaded every single webinar since moving to the new site. They are available to watch and so are all of the other recordings on our old platform. We have told members they can watch on either platform. I am sorry if this info passed you by somehow.

7 - The indicators freezing has been completely fixed. This was a technical issue that came up after merging to our new site. This update was made on the 11th of Dec. Maybe this info passed you by too..

Again, I will take all your comments into consideration and make improvements where I see fit. I wish the very best for you.

Not For Me

Well I am sorry to be the Odd One Out here - But unfortunately My experience has definitely NOT been good.

When I joined STS I was hoping for the "Holy Grail"and that my search for a profitable trading system and Mentor had finally finished.

Whilst the system itself is, as stated, pretty "Simple" There is a lot more to it than that.

I did have some winning trades and even winning days, but I did not have any winning weeks and as such my account balance continually dropped week on week.

I reached out privately to Ken the Mentor and founder on many occassions but initially got no response at all.

Then as things continued to worsen, I reached out again and this time I did get a response asking me to send over my previous weeks trading history so that he could help out. Which I thought was great.

I sent everything over and waited, and waited.

I messaged multiple times on Telegram - NOTHING
I messaged multiple times on DIscord - NOTHING
I messaged again on Email to the support guys - NOTHING

I continued to do this for over 2 weeks but never got a reply nor heard from them again.

Ken was in the groups chatting to people and responding to them but I had kept this all to private chat so as not to shed any negativity in the main groups.

Finally I sent them a message to say that I would be leaving the group due to not being able to work the system and the fact that I have been totally ignored.

I was immediately booted out of the Discord groups - "For Negative Comments" despite never posting any negative comments in the group.

I have since been told that Ken has over 600 people - True
He has been busy - True
He has been ill - maybe (but I hope not)

He had time to chat in the various groups but not time to send a one line message to explain that he is too busy to help me despite being the one to request it.

The bits I find the worst are 1) Being ignored repeatedly on 3 different mediums 2) Being kicked out of a group that I have been a paid member of despite making no negative comments in any of the public groups. 3) Not making a profit from the system.

For me, this is unprofessional behaviour from a mentor and a company not to mention the fact that the system did not actually work. (For me)

All in all I can not personally recommend STS based on my experience but I would not deter you from having a go yourself - You may have better luck than I did and to be fair to STS there are apparently many successful members.

Sorry to have to address this 1 star review. I do not have a way to upload our conversation or screenshots but I hope to shed light on this issue. Andy, you are correct. You sent me over 30 messages across all my social media platforms. This all took place during the migration from our old site to new site, unfortunately I was really busy with this. For this inconvenience I apologize. Although this is not your fault, I had become ill for about 5 days as well. In total taking 11 days to respond to your message.

Before I could respond to your message. You started posting negative comments inside of our Facebook group. Telling people " Good luck, I have just quit STS" (exact quote) You also went to FB and expressed your opinions there, this was your own personal page and your entitled to this. This is why I asked my admin to remove you from my free groups. This was on Thanksgiving day and here in the USA, we celebrate this day.

After we removed you from the groups, you requested a full refund. We gave you a full refund even though you had already used 26 days of your 30 day subscription.

I can only wish you the best moving forward and I hope you find your success.

Look no further!

I joined Simple Trading Solutions (STS) less than a month ago and I am well impressed with how this company is designed with people's success in Forex as the core focus. I joined a couple of companies and unfortunately, they focus more on the recruitment side of things and team building and all this unrelated Forex drama that doesn't ultimately help the customer become a better trader. STS is 100% opposite of this, just the 2 webinars a week and having Alex in our group giving us weekly additional setups really makes STS the best of the best out there. This is my home for Forex, I am not going anywhere, and I am confident I will become a fully funded trader with the help of STS!

Ken Bagget is consistent and patient!!

Ken Bagget is the most consistent and patient mentor I have come across. He uses only ONE strategy which is perfect for those who have been bamboozled in the past. One star lost for chat group being too busy and distracting at times, however I believe this will be fixed with the new website and specialised chat groups.

Just What I Needed

Simple trading Solutions is exactly what I've been looking for. Like it's name Simple Trading, makes trading simple and easy to understand. I am very satisfied with the training and the mentors that help you become more confident and a well trained trader. Any question whether I thought it was stupid or not, everyone on the team made me feel like it was the perfect question and that was very comforting. If you are really looking for a new skill and want to learn trading, Simple Trading Solutions is the place for you. Thanks Ken

Best Forex trading teaching platform I…

Best Forex trading teaching and mentorship platform I have experienced in the last 2 years plus on my learning journey.

STS not only covered all corners needed to become an all around and consistent trader but also provided the most simple effective and consistent winning strategy I ever tried.

Really wished I had ran thru STS years ago. Would have saved me a lot of time, money and headaches.

Hands down the best by far

Thanks Ken! 🙏🙏🙏

STS is the best forex training/mentorship program out in 2020

I was what u call a lucky trader before finding STS. I would simply get lucky while trading which in the end cost me thousands of dollars. After losing all that money i searched the internet and facebook looking for training on how to trade forex. Well needless to say i lost thousands more in 3 different training courses which taught me nothing. I was ready to give up and move on to something else. Then i found Ken the owner of STS on facebook and seen he was giving away 5 or 10 spots in his training program for a month for free but i did not win. So i said i will give it one month if i don't learn anything i was giving up. So i just joined his training program on April 20th of this year and never looked back. That was almost 6 months ago and it was the best day of my life. In the past 6 months i have learned so much and finally get the support i needed to learn and trade forex successfully!! I now have the skills needed to trade forex. STS has also taught me that mindset is everything in this business and i now have a traders mindset!! Ken is also the best mentor ever he goes above and beyond for every single member in STS (which is over 600+) and i will be forever grateful for him and STS!! Moral of this story is don't give up the right training is out there and can change your life also it's called STS!!!
