Accountmanagement

The 50/50 Account Management Scam- How it WorksFrom Cold Calling to Telegram I’ve been in the markets for so long I feel like a dinosaur, and I’ve probably seen every scam out there. The truth is, none of them are really new — they’re just adapted to the new social paradigm. What was done in the 2000s through cold calling is now done through Telegram, Instagram, X, and other social platforms. I didn’t really want to write this article, in case it gave someone ideas. But since anyone who wants to be a scammer already knows how it works, maybe this article can warn those who still have no idea how the so-called account management scam operates — especially its most common form: the coin flip scam (50/50 scam, Opposite trades scam, Split-direction scam, Two-group margin call trick, as is also known) Step-by-Step: How the Coin Flip Scam Works 1. Gathering the victims The scammer starts by fishing for victims through Telegram channels/groups, Instagram profiles, Facebook groups, or even X posts. They present fabulous profits, post ads with guaranteed return offers, and flood the feed with so-called “proofs” — screenshots of winning trades, client testimonials, and account statements. Most of these are either fabricated or selectively chosen to show only the winning side. Once someone shows interest, the scammer’s first move is to earn their trust. They’ll tell you the broker doesn’t matter, that you can choose it, and that they have no access to your money — which is, technically, true. Then comes the closer: “You don’t have to pay me upfront. I only get paid if I make you money, so it’s in my best interest not to lose. You see? We’re on the same side.” This combination of flashy results and “risk-free” terms makes you feel safe enough to hand them trading access. ________________________________________ 2. Splitting into two groups The accounts are divided into two equal batches: • Group A → All-in BUY • Group B → All-in SELL With high leverage (e.g., 1:200), a 50-pip move means either doubling the account or wiping it out completely. Note: I won’t go too deep into the details here, because the exact margin call level depends on the broker. But trust me, it’s easy for a scammer to plan the money split based on the different brokers’ rules. What we’re talking about here is just the general principle. ________________________________________ 3. Guaranteed winners and losers The market moves. One group hits margin call and loses, while the other doubles or triples its capital (depending on broker's leverage, even more on 1:500). The scammer now has perfect marketing material: “Look how I doubled my client’s account!” ________________________________________ 4. Milking the winners Clients who made a profit are celebrated and told something like: “I only worked with low capital this time just to show you I can do it. I have big clients and serious strategies — now that you’ve seen the proof, deposit more so we can make real money.” The scammer frames the initial gain as a “demo run” to gain the client’s confidence, pushing them to commit much larger sums next. ________________________________________ 5. Recycling the losers The wiped-out clients are told: “It was an unusual market move. Deposit another $1,000 and we’ll recover it tomorrow.” Some quit, but others fall for it again. ________________________________________ 6. Repeat the process The cycle continues. There’s always a “happy” group and real account statements to attract fresh victims, while the losers are quietly discarded or convinced to reinvest. ________________________________________ Why the scam works • The proof are authentic – Screenshots and MT4/MT5 statements for the winners are real. • Survivorship bias – Prospects only see the successes, never the failures. • Hope psychology – Losers believe “next time” will be different (and it can be if they end up in the "winner group" next time ________________________________________ Final word If someone promises to double your account quickly and safely — walk away. Real trading is about risk management and long-term consistency, not betting your capital on a 50/50 gamble. Don’t be the next screenshot in a scammer’s sales pitch. 🚀 P.S. Stop believing they “made you money on purpose” at the beginning and then “lost it on purpose” after you deposited more. If they truly had the skill to do that, they wouldn’t need to be scammers in the first place. The reality is simple — once you put in more money, you just happened to land on the losing side of their scam.

PRE-NFP LONG EURUSD TRADING IDEAI'm positioning a long trade on EURUSD in anticipation of the upcoming NFP event, with the following setup: Entry: 1.03840 Stop Loss (SL): 1.03660 Take Profit (TP): 1.04418 Trade Rationale: With the NFP report on the horizon, volatility in the USD is expected to increase. This setup is based on the technical analysis that shows a bullish structure on EURUSD. By going long, the strategy aims to benefit from a potential shift in market sentiment where a weaker USD could push the pair higher. The entry is timed at a key level that has historically acted as a support, while the stop loss is positioned just below to mitigate risk. Strategy Considerations: Risk Management: A tight stop loss is placed to limit exposure if the market moves against the position. Market Monitoring: Given the high impact of the NFP report, it's crucial to keep an eye on the news and adjust the trade if necessary. Risk-to-Reward: The setup offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio, with the take profit level providing a substantial target relative to the defined risk. This trade is designed to capture the momentum shift expected from the NFP data, with a well-defined entry, stop loss, and take profit structure. Happy trading!

USDCAD Sell Short (Final)I have been analyzing USDCAD for a while now and I believe this is the time for a double top to be formed and that M formation shall be taking place like the previous W pattern USDCAD has built up. As seen in the chart, USDCAD touched for a double bottom at 1.34213 which I predict that we shall be lead to that level again. USDCAD has far too long rallied and we should all be shorting this very top to make all our profits again. Rinse, repeat, and learn from these lessons in trading. I also wanted point out that in our analysis we have highlighted where previous support and resistances have broke out and lead to new higher highs and now lower lows when we come back down from this entry at 1.38973 I hope you all enjoyed our analysis!

USDCAD SellUSDCAD looks like a sell on the H4 and has been moving steadily down from my last entry in UC. I believe that there will be a potential double top move looking to move towards the 1.37800s and since we are within that range it is clearly looking for prior price action to do a pullback or continue the reversal pattern of a downtrend. I am looking for this mainly to be a day trade, however, I will also be placing a swing trade for my other trading accounts to bare in mind to also use PROPER risk management. RSI also indicates that we are long overdue a major short and will see it within the next few candles how far USDCAD can go. I also have spotted trend patterns go back to July 25th of this year and it extending all the way down for a month straight crashing USDCAD all the way down till the very bottom of the RSI. ENTRY: 1.37951 TP 1 (Day Trade): 1.1.36230 TP 2 (Swing Trade): 1.35434 TP 3: (extended swing trade) 1.34396 SL: 30 Pips from entry Please message me if you have any questions!

Looking for an opportunity here, I believe that we will see a nice downfall for this pair moving rather than stagnate like some of the other pairs this last week it seems.

AUDCAD Sell/ShortAUDCAD looks like a good signal from here that has bounced off resistance, came back a bit, and seems to not be a strong higher low for AUDCAD. Our analysts and myself am calling a sell short here due to the fact this pair has repeated multiple patterns in the same way in the last few months and as well it has the best risk/reward ratio I have seen so worth the bet to make. Please follow the entry, SL, and TP. Please make sure to follow our page for more daily signals!
