We feel this adds value to our own reviews to incorporate relevant warnings and scam alerts. BBC 4 btw mainly for historical shows and well english sitcoms. You said you used his signals before on stockpair. Guys like this will always trip up as they are just gutter rats in the end looking to take advantage of others. Registered just to comment on this. Just way to many scams out there. Secondly it is very difficult for anyone to time his signals correctly as the markets are consistently moving, 10 seconds are a long time in Binary Trading and usually makes all the difference.
STAY AWAY FROM ELIJAH OYEFESO AND INTERACTIVE OPTIONS. And most of the time, they are so currupted that the are honestly upset when you call them out. Its organized and I bet a very interesting story if you actually had talented people there to uncover it. Elijah Oyefeso requiring you to use only one broker is also a warning sign and I would be very wary of him too. So you may be surprised! HYPE results with cheesy vids like what you see but in fact real trading is a job and far far from glorious work unless you love trading which then it is just not very sexy. Well, you can just go for the trial and papertrade. So instead of relying on these promising invites you better move to learn how to trade at your own and with some time you will see that you will be providing signals to others for free. Saw this guy on Channel 4 last night and was very intrigued.
Considering that I am new, can you give me any advice on where to start learning? Keep a look out. But since talking to him I have never fully believed everything he was saying. They should really know better and should properly research these people. Brokers at Interactive Options. If you are serious about binaries then the best you can do is learn how to trade for yourself rather than following signals from others. But some low life ghetto kid that can barely hold his pants up having the talent to trade uhm two words.
Now this guy, if hes asking people to register at a specific broker then I guess mass marketing and getting referral money from the broker can make cash. Elijah Oyefeso on social media for 2 years now and at first I was doubtful. Hold on no way any binary options trader is going to be on Channel 4 haha. Channel 4 to give him this much publicity. You better double check that he is not just making mony on affiliate commissions from brokers. Maybe they have changed since then but i would not try them again. To be honest though, I like that about it, however it does have its downsides like it does with crooks like this.
Channel 4 documentary too. By the way does anyone from London remember JA Wealth? Most of his clients lose, resulting in them subscribing within the first 3 months. AFFILIATE scam if anybody signs up let me know how it goes! In this case Elijah Oyefeso forgets to not show his overall trading results likely from a demo account he is promoting. BTW best of luck with your trading business. Platform was very slow and customer support non existant.
That is their business. Goes to a show, a little research can go a long way. Surely he cant be making that kind of money just from referrals? Since I am also trading for some while and OptionTrade do provides some good signals but I try to trade at my own and that works fine. But it is very fishy, especially seeing the trading account images you have posted. Taken from his own video showing screen shots from his laptop and binary trading account. Signalprovider will usually give you a free trial or he has verfied statistics.
The guy barely looks like he could tie his shoes what can you do but laugh at garbage like that. Scammers always trip up due to their base intelligence being very low. So I am completely new to trading. He posted on Snapchat him in a room with Sunita from Channel 4 and a camera crew. No, I think he is. Its all marketing and my bet is due to his extremely low IQ he likely has puppet masters behind the scenes pulling the strings. He will disappear like countless other scammers. Once you get familiar with this trading business you might laugh when you think of this signal provider.
You could not choose the right expiry but you should have been able to tell if his signals were profitable? To me this guy looks like a classic marketer scammer who is only interested in affiliate commissions and the youtube video only reinforces this view. Anyway, the platform he wants me to use is Interactive Option. NO FLOW in this crap market. Most of the time when something is too good to be true, it usually is. It is actually disgusting. And then they even dare to act like they are successful entrenpreneurs. Looking further, that broker doesnt offer any referral bonus, and for the stuff he is getting even if it did it would not cover that kind of cost. Or get a demoaccount mabe on iqoption and just see if it is profitable for you.
Funny enough the JV guy that makes all the scam videos also had a gold plated car btw as he has a place in miami beach wonder if these two guys work together or know each other lol. Does anybody know anything about this broker at all? You know he gets bigger comission when you deposit big. If you want something more structured then BSB offer some really good education too, check out BSB Trading University. To be honest, I have him on the app Snapchat and followed his daily life for a long while. Elijah Oyefeso and Interactive Options. Now that you mention it LOL, he has just taken a holiday to Vegas, so he may know this other scammer you are talking about. Most probably only hang around for a month or two, but the constant influx of people from how he markets himself keeps him going.
Also, sorry to be a pain. The guy never talks about trading or charts who cares if he has ugly taste in cars. Forex and Binary Options online forums.

This was the reason why I asked you to be specific in terms of average SL that you apply to your trades and your reply to me regarding the same was not very clear, I am sorry about not understanding what your average SL on these trades are.
