The allure of "sniper" entries and high reward to risk trades is a strong one in the retail trading space. Telegram channels such as "Supply and Demand Snipper" are a prime example of a group that is banking on the allure of expertise in Gold, Crypto, and Forex trades. But a look behind the curtain to examine the operation and performance of the group is a far cry from transparency and achievement, and is instead a recipe for guaranteed losses based on statistics alone.

The Grand Illusion: Performance vs. Reality
On the face of it, “Supply and Demand Snipper” is a very attractive proposition. It updates frequently, displays screen shots of profitable trades, and boasts an excellent risk-to-reward ratio averaging 16:1. That means for every one dollar at risk, they target a reward 16 times greater—a trader's ultimate wish list!
The problem, however, is with the execution and most importantly with the reporting.
Our rigorous back-test of the free signals from the channel in the last six months revealed a shocking truth: the winning rate of such signals, statistically, averages at a paltry 8%! What this translates to, in statistical terms, is that a staggering 92 out of 100 signals are expected to lose!
The strategy the channel has adopted in maintaining its facade is one that can only be called "meticulously cynical," and this can best be understood through the following observations:
The channel claims to be a sniper entry channel with amazing 16/1 average r/r trades in this case. The only problem is that on average, only 1 in 20 free signals reaches the final take profit. The updates on closed trades at a loss are never provided, and admins can slap active profits of many days in a row.
Most of the screenshots of profitable trades that you will see in this channel are actually screenshots of trades that are way too far from a target. Even 10 pips in a favorable direction can be considered a huge win in this case. The channel overestimates their actual performance in this case many times over by using running profits instead of closed ones as a sign of success, which is actually not true.
Now, let's break this deception with a hypothetical example:
The Signal: "BUY GBP/USD at 1.2500, Stop Loss 1.2480, Take Profit 1.2820." (A 20-pip risk vs. a 320-p
The Reality: Price moves to 1.2510 (+10 pips).
The Channel's Post: The screenshot is immediately posted with the caption, Another SNIPER entry hitting! Massive profits secured for our team! 🔥. This is the running profit.
The Most Likely Outcome: Price reverses and touches the Stop Loss at 1.2480 for a full loss. This update is never published. The loss is never revealed; it's buried deep down. The channel moves to display another "running profit."
Such an approach generates a curated feed that seems overwhelmingly successful and exploits the psychological bias of those who view a steady stream of “green” screenshots.
Red Flags
Abysmal Win Rate (8%): The reward, 16:1, is irrelevant if the chances of winning are extremely low. In mathematical terms, the strategy is a path to ruin.
Selective Reporting: Only positive price movements are communicated. Losses are not reported. This is a gross breach of trust and transparency.
Misrepresentation of Profits: "Celebrating running profits as closed successes" is done intentionally.
Anonymous Operators: No individual, name, and track record can be identified for the operators, thus making them impossible to hold accountable.
Funnel to Paid Services: The free channel, with its misleadingly positive appearance, acts as an advertisement for a paid "premium" channel, where similar deceptive practices are probably ongoing at a cost.
Conclusion
The "Supply and Demand Snipper" Telegram channel is not an educational channel nor does it provide any signals for trading purposes. It is actually a scam channel that creates an illusion of elite trading skills by cherry-picking statistics and misleading subscribers by falsely reporting open positions as successfully closed trades.
1/10 TRUST SCORE
The win ratio of this channel stands at an abysmal 8%, and by falsely reporting their losses as well as minor market movements as win signals, this channel is clearly created to gain subscribers for their paid service rather than for any educational purposes. It should be avoided entirely for any trading purposes.
