RT Member since 2020 :)

Have been with RT since 2020 and how time has flown by. Have loved every minute of it, learned so much & continue to learn to this day.
From the early days of Forex trading, through to Crypto & Bittensor, the whole community is first class with Siam at the helm.
Siam is a great leader & I have always admired him for not being "salesy" and leading under false pretense. No fluff or hyped up expectations, just realistic & honest.
Appreciate everything that RT has given me these past years & will continue to be a member as long as I am welcome.
If you are looking for someone to help guide you through the markets, Crypto and the AI explosion, I would definitely recommend membership to others!

Been with the realistic trader for 5 years

I’ve been with The Realistic Trader since 2017, and the experience has been consistently positive. What sets him apart is the focus on practical, disciplined trading rather than hype or unrealistic promises. Over the years, I’ve learned how to approach the markets with patience, manage risk properly, and stay grounded during both wins and losses.

The guidance is clear, honest, and based on real market conditions, which has helped me build confidence and improve my decision-making. It’s not about quick wins—it’s about developing a sustainable approach, and that’s exactly what I’ve gained here.

If you’re looking for someone who teaches trading in a realistic, straightforward way and actually cares about long-term growth, I’d definitely recommend him.

Hi Liz, Thank you for your continued support since 2017. It really means a lot to us.

We’re especially pleased to hear that the focus on discipline, risk management, and long-term thinking has made a difference for you. That’s always been the core of what RT is about, not hype or shortcuts, but helping people build a sustainable approach to the markets that holds up over time.

It’s great to know the guidance has helped you grow in confidence and decision-making through different market cycles. That consistency, especially during both wins and losses, is exactly what we aim to instil.

Ear to the ground (What's really going on).

Siam is a great teacher and is very knowledgeable on investing, trading and setting up and running businesses.
The team are brilliant and the events where we get together and hear from guest speakers are always entertaining and informative.
I've learnt so much more about how the world really works on top of how to trade or invest in different markets safely.
If you ever come across someone like Siam with their ear to the ground, a head for business and who genuinely wants to help people better their own situation, you hold on !

5 year member of RT and very happy

I've been part of the Realistic Trader group for over 5 years now and it's one of the best decisions I've made. This isn't a group to be spoon fed everything you should do trading and crypto wise. It's a group to learn in and ultimately stand on your own two feet.
Siam never upsells once you're part of the group and doesn't pump his latest scheme, as some of these dubious reviews have claimed. He is transparent with what he invests in and his trades. Of course, when he announces what he's getting into, everyone else piles in, which can push up the price. But this is normal market behaviour with people following the bigger wallets. If Siam wanted to capitalise on this he'd be selling as soon as the price was pushed up.... he's not! And he provides his wallet addresses so you can see this for yourself.
Just make sure if you join, you go through all the course material and watch all the trading pubs. You get out what you put in.

Hi Dan, thank you for being part of RT for over 5 years. That level of commitment really speaks volumes, and we genuinely appreciate your support.

You’ve captured the ethos perfectly: this has never been about spoon-feeding trades, but about helping people develop the skills and confidence to think and act independently. It’s great to hear that the approach has resonated with you.

We also appreciate you addressing some of the misconceptions. Transparency has always been a key pillar, whether that’s sharing positions, thinking, or even wallet activity. As you said, market reactions to larger participants are a natural dynamic, not something engineered or exploited.

Your final point is spot on: you get out what you put in. The members who take the time to go through the material and stay engaged tend to see the biggest long-term benefits.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this; it means a lot.

I joined the Realistic Trader way back…

I joined the Realistic Trader way back in 2013 to learn honest forex trading and subsequently cryptocurrency trading. I can say I have never met a more professional and honest tutor in Siam Kidd. The RT group has now developed into community of like minded people striving learn all they can and share what they have learnt on their trading journey.
Back in 2012/13 I looked at numerous training companies that all promised the world, that I’d be rich in a couple of years, really! And all were high pressure selling courses at 5 figure sums.
That’s when I was introduced to The Realistic Trader and have never regretted it.
Cheers Siam and team

Hi Cliff, thank you for being with RT since the early days. That kind of long-term support means a great deal.

It’s especially rewarding to hear that the honest, no-hype approach stood out to you compared to what else was out there. That’s always been the foundation of RT, focusing on realism, skill-building, and long-term development rather than promises or pressure.

We’re also glad you’ve seen the community grow into a group of like-minded individuals sharing knowledge and experiences. That collaborative aspect is a big part of what makes RT what it is today.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share your journey and thank you again for sticking with us over the years.

Best mentorship group I've ever been involved in

I have been a member of Realistic Trader for over 5 years. I joined initially to learn how to trade currency pairs; I’ve learnt that and much more. Siam and the group have vastly increased my knowledge across the entire financial spectrum, and I have personally done well through crypto investments as a direct result of this.

The in person events are my highlight of the membership. The quality and knowledge learned from the events is eye opening, and I have built many personal friendships with great business owners, which has also benefited me greatly.

Siam, in three words, is kind, honest, and loyal. I now consider him a good friend, but years ago when I was new, he always listened to me, gave me his time, and I know he has always been focused on my success, not just as a member, but in life as a whole.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more genuine man within this industry than Siam.

It’s great to hear how much your knowledge has expanded, not just in forex but across the wider financial landscape, and that it’s translated into real results for you in crypto as well. That broader understanding is exactly what we aim to build over time.

Really pleased you’ve enjoyed the in-person events too, they’re a big part of what makes the community special, and it’s fantastic that you’ve built strong friendships and connections through them.

Your words about Siam mean a lot. The focus has always been on genuine support, honesty, and long-term growth, both in trading and beyond.

Three years in and still glad I joined

Three years ago I joined The Realistic Trader knowing absolutely nothing about the industry. What stood out from day one was how the team let me learn at my own pace without any pressure and they've been supportive throughout the whole journey. Beyond the learning side, I've made genuine friendships with people I'd never have met otherwise. It really does feel like a community rather than just a training programme.

Hi Ian, thank you for sharing this. It’s great to hear about your journey over the past three years.

We’re especially pleased that the 'learn-at-your-own-pace' approach stood out to you. That’s always been intentional, giving people the space to build understanding properly, without pressure or unrealistic expectations.

It’s also fantastic to hear you’ve built genuine friendships along the way. The community side of RT is something we value highly, and it’s great when members feel that it’s more than just a training programme.

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review.

Joining RT has been worth it no doubt

Joining RT has been worth it no doubt. I’ve known Siam professionally for nearly 15 years, and he’s always been incredibly up front. Communication is excellent and frequent, if I have a question or concern it’s answered quickly and honestly. Trading isn’t a guarantee of profit, but I’m much happier having the RT community in my corner than trying to navigate it on my own.

We’re really glad to hear that honesty and communication have stood out to you. Being upfront about both the opportunities and the risks is a core part of what RT is about.

You’ve summed it up perfectly as well. Trading is never guaranteed, but having a community, shared insight, and support network can make a huge difference compared to going it alone.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Highly recommend

I've struggled to understand crypto and trading for years until I found The Realistic Trader. There's so many people out there that promise to teach you how to make money from trading and cryptos but it's hard to work out who's genuine and who's not. RT is the real deal. Siam is always ahead of the game and genuinely cares about helping people, the courses are easy to understand and the community is so supportive and always there to help. Highly recommend.

It’s great to hear that things started to click for you after struggling for a while. There’s a lot of noise out there, so being able to cut through that and provide clear, understandable guidance is something we take seriously.

Scammer and con artist

I waited quite some time to write this review. The gall of this guy is hard to stomach. He's an ego maniac who attacks anyone who disagrees in his cult... I mean 'trading' group. He can't trade to save his life, he's simply a great salesman who convinces people to pump money into whatever flavour of the month scheme/project he's pumping. His followers are like lemmings and keep throwing money at him to gamble away and spend on his flash lifestyle. And then he comes on Trust Pilot like some wrongly treated victim, who is being unfairly attacked, rewriting history as if he has succeeded in previous markets, when all he has done is gambled and spent other people's money. One of the biggest grifters and most overinflated egos i ever met. I get angry just thinking about him. When I was in RT people would DM me, freaking out cos they'd followed him into some ridiculous project with insane promises. Sure people are responsible for their choices, but he carries responsibility too cos he pushes his grift with such conviction. A truly talented snake oil salesman. I used an altered name cos he is very vindictive and attacks people personally, so when he writes "we've checked our records and you weren't in RT." I was, and it was terrible. Since leaving, I look out for his calls on the market and use them as counter signals. He's just a b-tech Jim Cramer. Avoid with extreme prejudice. If you really have a few grand that you are desperate to throw away, put it all on black on a roulette wheel, you have an infinitely higher chance of making a return on it.

Reply from The Realistic Trader

We strongly reject every allegation made in this review. It is written with clear hostility, but without any verifiable substance. As with several similar posts, no identifying details were ever provided to Trustpilot, meaning we have no way to confirm this individual was ever a member, despite being given the opportunity to do so. If someone genuinely had this experience, verifying their membership would be straightforward. The refusal to do so raises serious doubts about the authenticity of the claims.

Beyond that, the substance of the review is fundamentally flawed.

Siam has been deeply involved in Bittensor (TAO) for nearly three years, with a consistent, transparent thesis that has not suddenly changed or pivoted into “flavour of the month schemes” as claimed. To suggest otherwise shows either a complete misunderstanding of the material shared or a failure to engage with it at all. RT has always been built around long-term thinking, risk awareness, and personal responsibility, not blind following. Anyone who “floated along” without doing the work, engaging with the course content, or attending and absorbing the weekly sessions will naturally struggle to extract value.

The claim that Siam “can’t trade” or is “gambling with other people’s money” is simply incorrect. Siam trades his own capital transparently and manages other funds separately to RT, he shares both wins and losses and consistently explains the reasoning behind positions. That is the opposite of a grift. Markets are volatile by nature; no trader is right 100% of the time, but to reduce years of documented thinking and positioning to “roulette” comparisons is not serious criticism, it’s emotional exaggeration.

Accusations of manipulation, cult-like behaviour, or personal attacks are also unfounded. RT is a direct, no-nonsense environment where ideas are challenged openly. Disagreement is allowed, but it’s expected to be constructive. That tone may not suit everyone, but mischaracterising it as abuse or “vindictiveness” is inaccurate. Likewise, the idea that people are being “pushed” into trades ignores a core principle repeated throughout the course: you are responsible for your own decisions.

The mention of anonymous DMs, “people freaking out,” and extreme language only reinforces that this review is driven by personal frustration during volatile market conditions rather than objective assessment. Trading involves risk, and unfortunately, some individuals look for someone to blame when outcomes don’t meet expectations.

Finally, we find it telling that the reviewer admits to using an altered name while simultaneously criticising transparency. We respect anonymity where appropriate and would never share personal details in a reply, but when serious accusations are made, they must be backed by verifiable facts, not insults and analogies.

We stand by the integrity of RT, the transparency of Siam’s work, and the many members who have gained real value from engaging properly with the material. This review does not reflect that reality.

A master in fraud and deception

This group is simply a disaster class. Siam is either one of two things he’s either hopelessly stupid or ridiculously manipulative . He uses his charm and wit tactic to lure people to liking him make one thing sure this guy isn’t a clever man he’s just a salesman who uses individuals he then dumps on them and uses them for exit liquidity
Before anyone accuses me of making stuff up I have the screenshots of Siam’s own members accusing him of using him as exit liquidity so that can diminish any accusations that I’m bias or have an agenda . These are literal SCREENSHOTS showcasing how his members feel used by him as exit liquidity I don’t know how anything can be more convincing that that. And Siam seems to do nothing to respond to this. He literally says nothing other than using his manipulative sales tactic to say that everything is ok when it quite literally isn’t you can literally follow his trades on the blockchain showing He tells people to hodl and that a 2-5 x will come in Tao subnets then he proceeds to dump said subnets on the very followers he tells to hodl and then acts like it’s ok because some people are up. well Siam I guess some people would argue that what you do is illegal and you should be prosecuted for this . I learned from you? Some people may think that therefore it’s true . This bloody true and you know it and MANY MANY of your customers have been complaining that this is so .
Siam then creates the problem for his users then upsells them a solution. He’d like a communist government manipulator only doing it for his own greed to manipulate short sighted individuals to part with their hard earned cash . When members get dumped on and wrekt he tells people to join his Dsv fund which conveniently also has huge annual monthly fees to pay for his lavish lifestyle in Norwich. Quite honestly extremely disingenuous all things considered anyone who things otherwise is extremely short sighted quite frankly and doesn’t have the iq to stand up to charlatans like Siam .
He offers no support to anyone on the discord but is happy to take large amounts of money from customers without doing anything . Some members who have fallen for this junk have even confessed to have cried . Yet Siam says nothing , does nothing , uploads happy go Larry videos of him and his wife on Twitter enjoying karaoke while his paid members confessed to crying after following his calls the very people who trusted him and used him as exit liquidity . Shame on this man . The membership quality is regrettably minuscule too. His staff are too cowardly to stand up to him and don’t offer much independent value besides some twitter reshares they an’t worth seven hundred bucks a month and they never will be no disrespect to them Iam of some reassurance Siam’s right hand man Lewis even trades . The members are either stupid or naive one of the two I can’t quite put my finger on how he even has customers after how his tracked wallets are doing. Of course the discord is dead as other reviews have stated? When should it even be full given how anyone with once ounce of a brain cell would have left already.

Reply from The Realistic Trader

We strongly and categorically disagree with the claims made in this review, which we believe is not only inaccurate but highly defamatory. To date, we have no record of any member named “John Peters” in our community. We asked the reviewer to verify their membership so we could investigate these serious allegations properly, but no details were ever provided. This raises significant concerns about the authenticity of the review itself.

To address the accusations directly:
Siam is neither “manipulative” nor “dumping on members.” Portfolio positioning, including TAO and subnet exposure, has always been communicated transparently as high-risk, volatile, and long-term speculative, with Siam openly sharing both wins and losses. Claims of “exit liquidity” are demonstrably false and misunderstand how liquid markets, on-chain data, and independent decision-making work. Screenshots taken out of context or anonymous complaints do not constitute evidence of wrongdoing, illegality, or manipulation.

The assertion that Siam “creates problems then upsells solutions” is also incorrect. Separate products (education, community, and optional funds) are clearly disclosed, optional, and never presented as remedies for losses. No one is pressured or forced into joining anything further, and many members choose not to. Suggestions that funds exist to support a “lavish lifestyle” are both baseless and inappropriate.

Regarding support and community: the Discord includes commuinity discussion and moderation. Like any open community, engagement fluctuates. We don't force members to use Discord, it is up to them how much they use it. Emotional reactions during drawdowns, while unfortunate, are a reality of trading and investing — something Siam regularly addresses with emphasis on risk management, position sizing, and psychological discipline. Posting personal social media content does not equate to neglecting members, nor does it invalidate the work done behind the scenes.

Finally, insults directed at members, staff, and moderators are unacceptable and reflect poorly on the reviewer rather than the community. Our staff are active, independent, and valued, and many members continue to engage because they understand the risks and the educational focus of the service.

We welcome constructive, verifiable criticism and are always open to improving — but we reject anonymous, unverified, and inflammatory accusations presented as fact. If the reviewer wishes to engage in good faith, we remain open to discussing their concerns transparently once their membership can be confirmed.

Kind Regards

A complete shyster

There’s absolutely no way on this planet that this is worth the £5k one must expend on this facade of a trading course and deserted discord which serves as a means to fund Siam's awful seminars and bogus trading

For starters let’s explain who Siam Kidd is he’s a trader who runs a hedge fund trading on behalf of clients at the time of writing he’s currently £4 million in debt to his investors many of my friends invested in his golden geese eggs and lost money due to Siam’s poor trades , junk ideas and poor risk management .

On the topic of junk ideas Siam would plug stupid and ill thought out concepts at his seminars making YouTube videos of junk projects like Time and OHM when these projects died Siam would delete these videos to give the illusions to his audience that he was a winning trader when quite the contrary he was hiding and suppressing his losing trades to prevent people from releasing the facade he is .

He definitely is a confidence man , well spoken and gives illusions of a kind and helpful individual but once you actually pay and give money he will ignore you and act unprofessional talking down to members and telling them that they can leave if they want to just look at the numerous one star reviews that complain about his attitude or all his one star reviews on glassdoor that reveal who is character really is.

Overall he’s a shyster who’s hiding behind his marketing gimmicks so he can rip off his customer base selling overly expensive courses , everything on said course is available on the internet for free there is nothing unique or special about anything he says or claims it’s just a facade to get you to part ways with your hard earned cash. 120 percent please AVOID

** NOTE** We have reported this review to Trustpilot as part of what appears to be a coordinated review bombing campaign from individuals who have never been members of The Realistic Trader or from one disgruntled past member who is leaving multiple reviews. The patterns in wording, repeated false claims, and absence of these names in our membership records strongly suggest this is fabricated.

Every point made in this review is false:

Pricing & Value: The claim that our course is a “facade” or “not worth the fee” is unfounded and misleading. Our training program includes a full trading course, live sessions, ongoing mentorship, and a highly engaged community. None of this content is “available free on the internet” as claimed.

False Debt Allegations: The statement that Siam is “£4 million in debt to investors” is entirely false and defamatory. This is a fabricated talking point repeated in other suspicious reviews.

Transparency of Trading: The claim that Siam deletes videos to “hide losing trades” is untrue. Siam shares all of his wins and losses openly with members and has never hidden trades. We have never deleted a single video from YouTube. You constantly have to pivot in investing and trading, so a YouTube video from 3 years ago is, of course, not going to be correct today.

Customer Interaction: The accusation that Siam “ignores” members or “talks down” to them is false. Our Discord is an active space where members choose how much they engage, and many have been with us for years due to the professional and respectful support they receive. Siam freely opens up his live sessions to questions, as interactive sessions are what help the most.

Character Attacks: Calling someone a “shyster” or “confidence man” without evidence is baseless name-calling and does nothing to inform potential customers. These kinds of personal attacks are a hallmark of targeted smear campaigns, not genuine feedback.

This review recycles the same false narratives, unusual phrasing, and allegations seen in other recent suspicious posts. It does not match the experiences of our genuine members, many of whom have been with us for years and can speak to the professionalism, transparency, and value of The Realistic Trader. We will continue to work with Trustpilot to ensure that fake reviews are removed so that potential customers can make decisions based on real experiences, not coordinated misinformation.

Great group, regular interaction, resource rich

Having followed Siam online for several years I had earmarked myself to join RT when the time was right. Of course I had some reservations about joining, especially after reading some of the negative reviews on Trustpilot. However, I can say with confidence that joining the group has been a great move, particularly after the team responded to my queries when i was applying; subsequently proving what they said and alleviating my apprehensions. A great platform to level up as an individual in an ever changing landscape

Highly recommended!

I completed Siam Kidd’s Trading Diploma over a year, and while pregnant, I spent another year demo trading—gaining hands-on experience and increasing my capital by 5%. Siam explains concepts clearly, cutting through jargon and making the learning process thoroughly enjoyable.

One of the most exciting parts? My little one even closed some of my trades! It’s inspired me to continue learning and eventually teach my children about trading. This course has given me both confidence and a solid foundation for the future. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Resource

I've followed Siam for a number of years now and finally decided to bite the bullet and join The RT about a month ago.

I've been involved in a few crypto discord groups, some free and some paid, and I have to say that so far I have found it incredibly refreshing. Siam posts regularly with his views as well as trades, this isn't a constant barrage of 'pat on the back' look how much money I've made for the community chat which happens A LOT on other services. - Likewise the other members within the group are respectful and understanding for those at different stages/ experience within crypto and within in trading.

This aside there's also a plethora of learning material on the members portal on the website which is hugely helpful. Additionally there are weekly video calls with Siam where he spends a good 2.5 hours with the group.

I think like anything you get out what you put in. If you are serious about learning and progressing then it takes time and money.

So far I have been delighted with the format and look forward to progressing with the team.

Excellent, high integrity training

Everything I have experienced has been excellent. The quality of the training, communication and expertise available with The Realistic Trader is something I’d highly recommend. RT also has a great community of people who want to succeed and help each other. Siam is genuine and knowledgeable - not just about crypto and trading - but also about the wider macro economic factors that influence crypto, finance and business.

I was in his group a few years ago

I was in his group a few years ago. Just lost money had over fist. The worst was the call to invest in some DAO crypto I can’t remember the exact name of. He pulled all his money out and the next day they rug pulled and I lost a lot. I even paid a lifetime fee for his course and to be a part of the community. Then he changed the group to monthly subscription and I lost my access. Addressed this with him a couple of years ago on Twitter. Told me he’d look into it. Never heard back. Best to avoid

The fact that you lost money when the entire RT community made lots of profit comes down to you. You didn't watch the entire training course, you didn't do the weekly 2 hour live sessions and you didn't stick to the rules. I and most of the community did extremely well in the 2021 cycle and if you chose to not exit a particular asset on a major base support breach, then that's on you. Your experience is an outlier compared the vast majority of experiences. The fact that you are blaming me shows you haven't learned that in investing their is NO blame. You are 100% accountable and responsible for all your portfolio results. When I win, it's my fault, when I lose, it's all my fault. If you had one bad loss and it wiped you out, you evidently broke MANY risk management protocols which I teach. Trading is all about Risk to Reward ratios...
