This topic has not to my knowledge been covered on Tradingview before now.
I specifically explore 'unethical trading representations' and explain in the limited time what that means as a concept.
To be absolutely clear, I am not asserting that every paid-for service or representation is unethical or illegal. What I am saying is that new traders and the inexperienced are like 'fresh meat' for these schemes, that aim for a small percentage of them.
The impact assessment - whether or not new traders pay for 'inner circle' access in these things, is of real importance.
Nothing said in this post refers to any identifiable individual, group or entity.
New traders especially need to be hyper-vigilant and cautious before parting with their money. But even if not parting with money, the potential negative impact is of importance.
I declare a personal bias, that I have been stung by three of these early in my trading career.
