The Realistic Trader Reviews 160

For a complete beginner, Siam and the realistic trader have been an excellent and trustworthy way to enter the world of money, trading and crypto. The emphasis is on education before you throw your money into the markets.

I've followed Siam since 2017. I love how he explains everything in very basic English, gives away loads of very useful information for free, teaches from his own success and failures and finally, his no pressure approach. Thank you so much, you're a true inspiration!

I've just got to the end of the free content that Siam gives on the Realistic Trader eduction course and I must say that its's been super good for me and helped get more than started with the next phase of my life.

What this ISN’T: ‘get rich now trading this strategy!!’
What this IS: a library of financial and and trading education videos supported by live seminars with a knowledgable team and one to one assistance with development and progress. Invaluable as a learning resource, I’ve gone from a standing start to being given a map and compass and guidance to start out on my little adventure. And I’ll be forever grateful for the Kitkat that arrived at exactly the right time with his free book (it’s worth taking the road test just for this alone... and the free book!).

Current work commitments aren’t conducive to fully subscribe now but from a lot of comparison shopping around, I’ll be a returning customer when I am.

Thank you Kevin, Martin and Siam. Hugs and kisses. 😋

Siam is a no-nonsense, straight talking chap, who tells it like it is (warts n all), but validates everything he teaches & talks about with the results from his own & his fellow RT Community traders accounts.
The trading bot he's developed & the associated training to set up profitable strategies is very impressive.
I've been a 'back seat' member for some time & only recently acted, but wish l'd done when l first joined some time ago.
l'd highly recommend this training & trading program anyone wishing to learn this life skill.
Keep up the excellent work Siam

I'll start with a confession; my trading journey actually started in 2003 (not with the Realistic Trader) when I paid about £1500 to go on a 'learning to trade' weekend in a very tall building in E14 - Canary Wharf as many will know it.

I was taught what the markets are, (which was self-explanatory) and then the mechanics of how to trade. It was very focused on day trading and also fitting in with my 8-6 job as well which didn't seem to make that much sense but I thought, okay - I'll trust in this process anyway. I was working as a driver for Enterprise rent a car at the time and 23 years old; it was simply a new skill I wanted to learn.

Following that weekend I proceeded to lose £6000 over the course of about 3 months which I would suggest from a financial perspective is a terrible ROI. I did, however, meet a very attractive girl who took a shine to me and we had some great times so I'll chalk that weekend up as resulting in costly good times but not to do with the original intent!!

Fast forward to Feb 2020 and I'd returned from a conference in Los Angeles and found myself with jetlag and for some reason, my spidey senses were more in tune than ever; likely because I'd been in the US and could see events unfolding; at some ungodly hour Youtube suggested a video to me by Siam on 'how I plan my life' which I'll take as a compliment but also found it quite ironic!

I watched several of his videos and thought okay, I'm a bit older now, have a way more finely tuned BS detector and thought, well he seems to have been around a while and overall schema is similar to myself (later I have discovered that he also attained the dizzy heights of 2xA levels, both grade D in mathematics and physics). So, I thought okay, let's see what the Realistic Trader is about. I followed the videos as the inevitable coronavirus played out in English and we were all unable to travel as much.

A lot of what he said made sense, particularly around critical thinking which for me is essential.

Later in the year, I decided to purchase the trading test drive for £99 (I think at the time of me writing this it is available at no cost) after watching the 3 x 20 minute videos on his homepage which are actually super important if you are considering joining the realistic trader or more to the point, to understand if trading is for you.

Refreshingly, these videos are brutally honest and will disqualify most people which I think is good as trading is absolutely not for everybody and it might be for somebody but they might not be in the right place in life to get started. This stuff matters and interestingly it was all the opposite of what I was told those years ago.

Now, things do change so both what I did in 2003 could be valid as well as Siam's videos, although it became quite obvious that I was 'had' during my 2003 experience.

So, the Realistic Trader test drive that I bought was exactly as described - it wasn't about making a lot of money, it wasn't about replacing my current income, nor was it 'arcade mode'; it was a LOT of content - I spent probably 5 hours a day/4 days a week watching the videos and making notes and I got through the course in about 3 weeks. It is a lot of content, and a lot of big picture stuff, becoming increasing granular as you move through the videos.

In essence, it's more than 'a trading test drive', it sets the stage for your trading journey and manages your expectations. The videos are easy to watch and the interface is clean and simple to use; standard e-learning but well thought out and in a structured logical order.

Upon completing the test drive I opened accounts and began trading the strategies I had learnt and quickly began acquiring data. None of it was difficult, however, the results were also not life-changing; the main point was that I was displaying consistency and that's crucial. I am quite sure that someone with zero knowledge of trading could get a win but they couldn't consistently do it. Of course, I don't get a 100% win rate, no one does but that doesn't matter as explained in the videos on expectancy and other key metrics.

I became a full-time member of the Realistic Trader shortly after and thoroughly enjoy it for the following main reasons:

- there are 2 weekly sessions, one with Siam and one with two very experienced traders, both sessions are live and interactive lasting about 2 hours each so that's over 20 hours a month of live help as required.

- the community is superb, no one knows everything, yet collectively we share insights and data which is very useful in assessing trading strategies, analysis and what to do to grow our accounts.

- the leaderboard is excellent, something I must get more involved with!

- access to information I otherwise wouldn't have, for example,I paid 6 months of my rent from learning about a different type of asset, then trading it.

- it's not BS, it's all intelligent stuff!

I would recommend this course to everyone, as Siam say’s this is a life lesson, I only wish I had learnt this stuff many years ago. I am hoping to gain all this knowledge and to start earning a second income which could even become the only thing I need to do and drop the 9-5 job I currently have.
Thanks Siam,
This has been great!!

Siam's RT learning experience breaks down an extremely complex subject into manageable bite size pieces that allows you to learn at your own pace. I like to understand the context and backdrop to each subject to foster a greater level of understanding rather than flash to bang on a few quick rules for success (which is all I was finding on google prior to RT)... whether you become a full RT student or not there is a lot of positive learning available! Thanks Siam

Being almost at the end of the RT Test Drive I can say that I am impressed. The first few modules are aimed at laying a solid foundation for long term wealth creation which in my opinion is a must for long term prosperity. Siam present in an easy to understand and transparent way which is easy to digest. I was particularly interested in the trading aspect of the course and knowing a bit about trading I understand the concepts and strategies being put forward and they make a lot of sense. The emphasis is on simplicity and you really feel you can trust Siam and the course which is more than can be said for the majority of fx education online. Very impressed so far and looking forward to finishing off the content. Highly recommended.

A lot of really useful education on not just trading but wealth generation. They give you a 2 month trial to test out the service which is amazing. The only drawback is the high cost to be a full member which seems worth it but will exclude many people.

This has honestly been a fantastic and educational experience. Have been a member for several years now and only wish I had more time for it.
Cant recommend highly enough.

I have been looking for some time now at various trading courses and I have been also scammed in the past!! But when I saw Siams offer of his course for free for 2 months with no mention of any up front bank details of any kind I immediately took up the offer. I was not disappointed as the information not only covered trading but also knowledge regarding business and finance for building your wealth which will help feed my Golden Goose and not kill it lol.So not only do i think the course is really well structured but also it is easy to follow and it is in simple laymen's terms which is presented in a relaxed manner. The bottom line is what you see is what you get with Siam and he really does seem transparent in what he says and does almost to the point of his own detriment with some peoples comments which makes me wonder what type of people they are!!! Oh on a last happy note love your cat Coco and your dog Pips :)

Superb content and presentation by Siam, the pace is always on point & I'm growing in confidence daily due his expert guidance, tutelage & stewardship.

I had never expected to have been so interested in world economics as I have been through watching Siams videos and it's great to have some behind the scenes knowledge to go with the trading training which was my initial interest. There is a huge amount of content just in the test drive training and I'm keen to join his community and continue with the rest. First I need to re watch quite a few of the videos as It's quite a lot to take in. Siam is a very likeable guy and I like the way he does his videos and explains things. I find him and the content very trustworthy which in a domain of many unscrupulous people is a rare thing.
Thanks Siam
Here's hoping for more of the same.

Having completed 50% of the course, I have been super impressed. The course covers so much and I feel so much better informed. Other courses only cover trading strategies but for me it’s important to understand why things happen, why the markets behave as they do etc and the course gives me all of that. In an industry that is often maligned, Siam and his team come across as extremely ethical, trustworthy and wanting to facilitate their knowledge for the better good. Keep up the good work!

I haven't yet finished all the course(huge amount of useful information) but to be honest i'm really impressed so far with all the knowledge and all the work Siam had put into it.All the best for all the community members. Cheers

I've taken the free 2 month trail with the RT course and have found it to be compelling, informative and educational. The group is far more than a traders course with information covering history of finance to business and investment approaches and, of course, FX and CFX trading.
As a complete novice I found the twice weekly live sessions are excellent to help build knowledge and confidence with trading and I've even made a few pennies from the free use of the RT trading bot!
A couple of weeks to go so I guess I'll be getting a call to sign me up! :)

I'm an experienced investor and thought there may be some value in what Siam could offer. Unfortunately I don't believe there is anything of value here for a beginner or a more experienced trader.
The strategies Siam uses are version of strategies that are available free elsewhere and are largely based on lagging indicators. I concur with the negative bot reviews, Siam is bending the truth here a little, fortunately I didn't invest any real money in the bot as I could see the flawed logic straight away, but I can see why others piled in on how it was extolled by Siam, I'll admit I have lost respect for him how he has changed his tune and essentially blamed the people who put money in for misinterpreting him - which I don't think they actually did.
The live sessions seem to be done by inexperienced traders (I think Siam's current students), I attended 1 or 2 and found poor advice being given to beginners which is sad.
It was also a little disappointing that someone also felt the need to give me the hard sell because I decided to not renew my my membership after a year.
I have no quarrel with Siam personally (though I can see why others feel ripped off) but I did sign up when membership was much lower than it is today.
I very rarely leave reviews as I think many things are very subjective. However, in this case the idea of letting people spend this amount of money when they can find better actual content for free didn't sit well. I have nothing to sell anyone and as such will not be making any recommendations but I would emplore people to seek out the excellent, virtually free content out there instead. All the best.

I am currently working my way through the 60 plus hours of tutorial videos, an interesting mix of live classroom style and a 'one to one' from Siam's home, office and even fields!! This mix keeps it fresh and far from repetitive. Siam comes over as totally committed, ethically based who is genuinely keen to grow his members independence and bank balance. The backroom team are titled 'Admin Heroes' which they certainly are.
I have studied the market for some time and Siam and the team are the mentors I feel safest with, I look forward to fun times ahead with the regular community gatherings to chat with other like-minded members!!

If you wanted to learn how to trade, this comprehensive course offers everything you need, including the vital mentoring and community aspects which few course offer. There is also a wealth of additional information available regarding business, personal finance and building wealth. Highly recommended
