The Illusion of Activity and Value

The HUGO TRADER channel has an illusion of value due to a high post frequency of 16 posts per day. It also has a high number of subscribers. However, the actual value of the channel can be derived from the average views per post, which is only about 1,600. This implies that the channel has about 94% or more than 26,000 subscribers who are either fake or inactive. This is a hallmark of a dangerous scam.

The Fatal Flaw: Deceptive Signals and Ruinous Risk/Reward

The channel provides free gold scalping signals. We tested every single free forecast provided in the past six months. The results of our backtests are catastrophic for the channel subscribers. This channel provides one of the worst quality signals in the gold signal groups on the Telegram platform. Now, let's look at a sample of the channel's signals and discuss what is wrong in the HUGO TRADER group.

Gold sell 5294-5297

Tp 5288

Tp 5283/5260

Sl 5302

The structure of the channel's signals is designed for failure. According to our investigation, if a trader has only 3 Take Profit levels in the channel's free signals, only 9% of the trades will reach the third TP. The channel's trade management strategy is a dangerous scam. The majority of the profitable signals are closed immediately after the TP1 is reached.

This is mathematically unsustainable. The rules for trading in this channel are based on trade management rules that result in very small winning trades compared to losing trades. The average winning trades are 0.35 Reward. This means that in order for you to recover losses in one trade, you would need 3 winning trades.

The Final Deception: Lies and Account Destruction

The channel authors lie consistently by claiming that if you reach TP 1 in this channel, you would have made back all your losses in a previous losing trade. We have data that conclusively shows this is not true. With a dismal 29% winning trades rate and a very poor 0.35 reward per winning trade, this is mathematically set in stone.

Our data shows that if you simply follow free signals for 2 months, you would blow your entire trading account with 1% risk per trade.

Conclusion and Verdict: Stay Away!

HUGO TRADER is not a losing trading channel; it is a sophisticated scam. HUGO TRADER uses fake engagement numbers, structurally losing trading signals with a disastrous risk profile, and then proceeds to lie about performance for their subscribers. The end game is either demoralizing traders so they give up trading altogether or getting them to sign up for their "premium" service that is of equal value to their free service. There is zero educational content and zero information about the team of anonymous individuals behind this channel.

0/10 TRUST SCORE

Final Recommendation: Stay away! Protecting your capital requires that you avoid trading channels like HUGO TRADER that are statistically designed for you to lose inevitably.
