The Signal Format – A Traditional Manipulation Scheme

Here is a typical signal offered by this group:

📊 XAUUSD Sell zone 4555 - 4558

⭐️ Take Profit 1: 4549 (90 PIP)

⭐️ Take Profit 2: 4541 (170 PIP)

⭐️ Take Profit 3: 4531 (270 PIP)

⚠️ Stop Loss: 4563

Everything looks promising. But let us analyze this signal and see what's wrong with it.

Assumptions:

• Open 1 position

  
  

• Risk 1% of trading account

  
  

• Stop loss is set at 80 PIPS; in case of stop-out - lose 1%.

  
  

Now, here's what the channel does to boost its statistics.

• Take Profit 1 (90 pips):

The channel recommends closing half the position after TP1 is met

Real profit = +0.56% (90 pips of only half the position).

But the channel claims that it was *"90 pips"*, counting it as 90 pips of the entire position.

• Take Profit 2 (170 pips):

Close another half when TP2 is met

Real profit = +0.53% (170 pips of half the position).

Again, the channel reports it as "170 pips".

And here is the outcome of this fraud scheme.

70% of profitable signals will be closed after the market hits TP1; hence, 70% of profitable setups will generate +0.56% per winning trade.

Given the extremely low 34% success rate, let us do some simple calculations.

• 34 winning signals × 0.56% = +19.04%

  
  

• 66 losing signals × (-1%) = -66%

  
  

Net result is -46.96%. It is enough to follow those signals during two weeks and blow your account.

Zero Transparency, Zero Accountability

This channel lacks a website, a blog, and social media accounts. Even more, it has no VIP subscription bot. But what makes it suspicious, it has not a single real person behind the channel (i.e., no real face, no name).

The fact that there is no education offered by this channel shows us once again that there is no trader there, but rather manipulative fraudsters.

Conclusion – Avoid!

This channel is not a real trader's channel; it is just a well-crafted manipulation scheme aimed to deceive traders. Using the trick described above (manipulating pips reporting and recommending closing a position halfway), this scam channel tries to mask its extremely bad performance.

Danger! This is a fraud free Gold signals channel applying a classic strategy to manipulate its performance.
