Investment Withdrawal Issues and Finding a Way Forward I had withdrawal issues with this platform, which was overwhelming. I wasn’t sure what to do next, but I eventually found a process that helped me with my withdrawal. Sharing in case it helps others in a similar situation.

RT is not a platform that holds client funds, manages withdrawals, or operates accounts of any kind. We do not take custody of user assets, nor do we provide any service where withdrawals would be required. As such, the situation described here does not apply to our offering.

Our service is purely educational and community-based, focused on market insights, trading frameworks, and discussion — not fund management or transaction processing.

If this review was intended for another company, we kindly ask that it be directed to the correct platform to avoid confusion.

This review appears to be automated or spam content and does not relate to any genuine experience with our service.

The text itself clearly indicates that it is not describing a real interaction, but rather referencing instructions about how to generate a review. There is no mention of RT, our community, or any aspect of what we provide.

We kindly ask that this be disregarded, as it does not reflect a legitimate customer experience or any interaction with our business.

Dishonest and Abhorent Shame on him. You'd be a naive fool to follow any of his trading advices which have caused great distress to his following quite clearly look at the evifence below. Read it carefully and take time to decide whether this shyster is worth giving your hard earned money to. As with other reviews everything I've inputted here is from his dead discord which is mainly amalgamation of people complaining about losing money!!!!!!!!!!!

One member complains of being used as exit liquidity from Siam's fund

Member is 30 percent down after following Siam's calls

Siam tells people to hodl then proceeds to dump on his following despite insiting they hold on to assets while he himselfs sells them

Members complains that Siam lied about his intentions

Member loses money following Siam's calls

Member says hes been dumped on by Siam's hedgefund

Member Says he was used as Siam's exit liquidty

We strongly reject this review and the claims made in it. It is clearly designed to be inflammatory rather than factual, and once again appears to rely on screenshots taken out of context from Discord conversations rather than any honest representation of the service as a whole. RT is a trading education and community business built around market commentary, live sessions, and shared ideas — not guaranteed outcomes — and members are repeatedly reminded to take responsibility for their own decisions, manage risk properly, and think independently. To portray selective complaints during difficult market conditions as if they define the entire community is simply dishonest. Every trading community will have periods of frustration, especially in volatile markets, but reducing that to “people complaining about losing money” is a deliberate distortion. The claim that Siam is “dishonest” or that people would be “fools” to follow his analysis ignores the many members who have found real value in his market insight, long-term thinking, and transparent communication of both wins and losses. This review offers no verifiable detail, no balanced account, and no genuine attempt to engage fairly with what RT actually provides. It reads far more like another bad-faith attack from a disgruntled individual than a credible review of the business.

Poor value for money for starters this is in no way worth £500 a month . The discord is empty and has no new posts. The video calls themselves are unproductive just Siam bigging up assets that are going down in price . Siam promoting pump and dump “subnets” then telling his users to actively hodl these projects even though the wallet activity clearly shows him dumping on his own following .I think if you’re charging £500 a month the least you can do is give your full and undivided to people that you’re selling to instead there’s absolutely none of this. People are neglected often ignored . Siam offers no trading advice and is too busy bigging up and promoting his Dsv fund then actually offering any value to those who need his help. He offers ambitious price predictions like $5k Tao before 2025 or $2k Tao before December 2024 then retracts them as soon as these price predictions don’t hit. So in essence he’s always right because when he’s wrong he just retracts statements so he’s indefinitely right all the time. How on earth can one behave like that.

We completely reject the claims made in this review, which appears to be yet another copy-pasted, bad-faith post from someone who was never part of the RT community. We've thoroughly checked our records and have no evidence that this individual was ever a paying member. When we reached out through Trustpilot for verification, as we do in all cases, no information was provided — a recurring pattern we’ve seen with what we believe to be a coordinated review bombing campaign.

To address the falsehoods directly:

The claim that the Discord is “empty” is simply untrue. The server remains active with daily commentary, ongoing trade discussions, and participation from committed members — especially during key market moments. Like any high-value community, not everyone posts daily, but those who do contribute meaningfully.

Siam does not “pump and dump” any assets — this is a serious accusation with zero basis in fact. Siam’s blockchain-linked trades are transparent, and all members are encouraged to do their own research. Positions in TAO and subnets have been clearly framed as high-risk, long-term thesis plays, and Siam has always shared both entries and exits. Wallet activity doesn’t support these allegations.

The assertion that members are “neglected” or ignored is also false. Siam actively replies in Discord, hosts regular livestreams, and shares educational insights. The tone of the group is not one of spoon-feeding or constant hand-holding — that’s made clear from the outset. RT is designed for those who want to think independently, not follow blindly.

There is no bait-and-switch regarding price predictions. Price targets like $2k or $5k TAO are shared as long-term possibilities based on thesis-driven conviction. If macro conditions change or sentiment shifts, Siam adjusts — as any responsible trader would. This isn’t “retracting to always be right,” it’s trading with adaptability.

Finally, comparing the subscription to its price without having actually experienced the full offering is disingenuous. RT includes high-level trading frameworks, access to calls, long-form videos, live Discord Q&A, and market strategy sessions. Thousands of hours of content and commentary have been delivered. To say it offers “no value” is not just incorrect — it’s dishonest.

We’re fully open to honest, verified criticism from real members, but we won’t stay silent when fake accounts attempt to smear a service they were never part of. This review is misleading, baseless, and clearly part of a pattern — and we will continue to defend against false accusations with the facts.

6000 dollars a year ? Not worth 60 dollars a year For starters Siam Kidd is not a winning trader he’s a losing one who seeks to extract as much capital from his customers as possible . He spent the entire time upselling his additional fund DsV before shilling ridiculous price predictions that never get hit to his group who lack critical thinking skills to think for themselves . Siam will berate anyone who shares good content one member actually shared a telegram which had the correct exit plan and Siam berated him for it. Siam’s plans then resulted into a loss whilst the telegram that the other member wanted to post was correct He just wants to upsell and capital extract the people who follow him as much as possible. He doesn’t care about alternate views and constantly berates those who go against him. 100 percent avoid at all costs I’ve attached screenshots so people know I’m a real member paying members as I have had access to Siam’s discord in the past and taking evidence to base my arguments against him
Date of experience: 04 December, 2025

A member upset at Siam at the neglect due to Siam focussing on other projects instead of rt

People upset at Siam for his price predictions not being filled

Siam berating a member for sharing other information about trading . Siam usually ridicules those who speak out against him.

Reply from The Realistic Trader 2026.04.21

We strongly and unequivocally disagree with every claim made in this review, which is both misleading and taken heavily out of context.

First, the assertion that Siam is a “losing trader” who exists to “extract capital” is simply false. Siam trades his own capital transparently and shares both winning and losing positions openly — something most so-called “educators” avoid. Markets are inherently volatile, and no trader is correct 100% of the time, but reducing years of thesis-driven positioning and public track record to blanket statements like this is not an honest assessment.

The accusation of constant “upselling” is also inaccurate. Any additional offerings, such as DSV, are clearly optional and entirely separate from the core RT membership. They are not pushed as solutions to losses, nor are members pressured into joining. The core RT offering stands on its own as an educational and community-based service.

Regarding “ridiculous price predictions,” this again shows a misunderstanding of how Siam communicates. Price targets are discussed as forward-looking scenarios based on evolving market theses, not guarantees. As conditions change, views are updated — that is not backtracking, it is responsible market analysis.

The claim that Siam “berates” members or shuts down alternative views is also a distortion. RT is a direct and intellectually honest environment where ideas are challenged — including Siam’s own. However, low-quality or misaligned content may be moderated to maintain focus. One isolated disagreement, presented here without context, does not reflect how the community operates as a whole.

As for the screenshots, we have seen repeated attempts across multiple reviews to present selective snippets of Discord conversations as “evidence.” Without full context, timelines, or understanding of the discussion, these are misleading at best and intentionally deceptive at worst.

Finally, the statement that the service is “not worth $6000” is entirely subjective and contradicted by many members who have found significant value in the insights, frameworks, and long-term thinking provided. RT is not a signals group or a shortcut to profit — it requires engagement, effort, and personal responsibility.

This review reads as another exaggerated and one-sided account that fails to reflect the reality of the service or the broader member experience.

Posting this after my review got taken down on trust pilot , My honest experience of RT was that its a complete rip off, the trades siam placed were never profitable and siam was unprofessional, rude and dishonest throughout For starters Siam would barely be active on discord never answering questions or massively delaying his replies , his dedication to helping his members seemed non existent and to my friends who are still unfortunately in the group they say he often threatens people to leave during his livestreams saying and I quote this " I don't care about rt" and "rt is not a business" For the price paid this level of customer service is quite simply atrocious. Siam also would attack members right on his telegram live feed again displaying a huge amount of arrogance and neglect for his customer base seemingly more interested in helping non members on twitter and youtube then actual paying ones. As others have stated his trading ability is garbage , there are no winning trades here and many have left due to the lack of profitable advice given by siam . I agree he is very much a marketer disguised as a profitable trader and once you find out his distinct lack of common sense behind his trades its easy to realise that this is an atrociously overpriced and overhyped community. Discord activity is non existent, siam seems more intent on pushing further products like his helicopter rides and mentoring rather than actually helping those who've already paid a tonne to be there he is ill focused and simply not as valuable as he makes himself out to be he just over chargers and undelivers on overhyped garbage course products to rinse his community of their hard earned cash Overall I'd avoid at all costs there's much much much better information avaliable for free on youtube .

We categorically reject every claim made in this review, which we believe to be entirely disingenuous and posted in bad faith. This reviewer was never a verified member of RT — a fact confirmed when the original review was removed by Trustpilot after they refused to provide any identifying details despite multiple requests. If they had genuinely been part of the community, their review would have remained live. We suspect this is part of an ongoing review bombing campaign from the same individual using different aliases, and we take these false attacks very seriously.

To be absolutely clear:
Siam is actively involved in the RT community. He responds to Discord posts, engages on livestreams and shares detailed market commentary. The claim that he is “rude,” “unprofessional,” or “threatens members” is a complete fabrication — taken entirely out of context or imagined. Statements like “I don’t care about RT” are distortions. Siam has been transparent in saying that RT is not a traditional business driven by customer satisfaction metrics — it’s a community for independent thinkers, not a hand-holding service. That ethos is made clear from the start.

Regarding trades, we strongly disagree with the blanket assertion that there are “no winning trades.” Like all traders operating in volatile, long-term narratives, not every move plays out immediately — but many of Siam’s thesis-driven positions, particularly in projects like TAO, have seen significant gains for members who applied proper risk management and conviction. Calling it all “garbage” simply ignores facts and real member experiences.

Accusations about Discord inactivity and “helicopter rides” are both false and absurd. The Discord remains active, especially during periods of market movement, and community members continue to contribute value and insight daily. Additional offerings like mentoring are completely optional and have nothing to do with the core membership, which stands on its own.

This review misrepresents RT, Siam, and the actual experience of our members — many of whom have found meaningful value, growth, and profit in what we offer. We welcome real feedback from real members, but we will not tolerate defamatory attacks from fake accounts attempting to damage reputations without accountability.

Kind Regards

Siam’s trading ability was poor I lasted as a member for roughly 3 months while Siam made many a poor move during his trading including buying ftx token ( a token of a failed dissolved company ) and shilling failed projects like Time , kaspa, also some of the positive reviews on here appear to be written by trailists or members who paid a much lower membership fee than I did I paid £500 a month whilst my friend on the course paid nearer to £200. The membership doesn’t reflect the quality of the price and some of the positive reviews on trustpilot appear to be written by fake accounts the latest one written by someone under the name of “ “Accountsvacad” which seems to be a bot of some sort or someone hired to write reviews to drown out the bad ones More so the business replies to some of these reviews are outright lies I had one friend who quit Rt because of Siam’s arrogant behaviour during calls who did in fairness receive a partial refund on his annual membership . So the review replies claiming this is a lie are simply lying themselves and I can attest to this with screenshot proof from my friends who also quit the same time as me . Customer service was poor with Siam barely responding most of the time to tagged and quoted messages on discord and on said discord only about 4 members made up 80 percent of the posts themselves ! Talk about 80 20 rule ! This is absolutely not worth it Siam is simply an awful trader .

Reply from The Realistic Trader 2026.02.05

Thanks for your feedback, but we must firmly and respectfully disagree with the claims made in this review — many of which are either inaccurate or misleading.

First, Siam’s trading history is well-documented and transparent, including both successful and unsuccessful calls. Like any trader operating in volatile markets, not every trade will be a winner — but painting him as an “awful trader” ignores his long track record, thesis-driven positioning, and the many members who have benefited from his insights over the years. Projects like KASPA and TIME were clearly communicated as high-risk, speculative opportunities, not guaranteed successes, and members were encouraged to do their own research and manage risk accordingly.

As for membership pricing, there are indeed different tiers depending on when someone joined, the length of commitment, and whether they joined during promotional or early access periods — a normal practice in subscription services. Everyone receives the same access and service, regardless of when they joined or at what rate.

The accusation of fake reviews is entirely unfounded. Every review on our Trustpilot is from someone who either trialed or paid for the service — and Trustpilot has strict systems in place to detect fraudulent reviews. Any reviews were we cannot confirm is a member we ask to be taken down, good or bad. It’s unfair to dismiss genuine member experiences simply because they differ from your own.

The Discord is active, with a core group of contributors who share regularly — as is typical in most online communities — but many other members read, learn, and benefit without posting daily. Siam does not ignore members; he responds thoughtfully in threads, on calls, and through direct messages when appropriate. Expecting instant replies to every tag in a busy server is not realistic for any educator running a live business and trading operation.

In short, this review presents a heavily skewed view that doesn’t reflect the broader experience of our community. We always welcome honest, verifiable feedback — but we reject misinformation, exaggeration, and unproven claims.

This wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience . Siam seems to be losing money with the majority of his calls and has poor risk management , he seemingly has little economic insight and his predictions rarely come true His attitude is akin to that of a used care salesman , dodging questions during qna with statements that don’t make sense like plunging millions into ponzis like Time and OHM and then deleting the videos on YouTube in which he shilled them. With Great power comes great responsibility and that means taking responsibility for junk ideas you’ve promoted. He never does and he is inactive on his own discord never replying to my dms or to anyone who tags him on it , you’re left wondering what on earth have I paid for. Siam then tries the “ you are either with me or go away” self help management technique of telling his own customers to leave and that he couldn’t care less if you stay or not. With calls filled with threats towards his own paying members. Who charges £500 a month and speaks with an attitude like that? Siam will hang anyone out to dry who challenges him too . Be warned of his charisma and friendly he appears on YouTube or twitter for these are merely an act to get you to part with your hard earned cash and his price predictions are part of the ruse . You’d find better free elsewhere than this empty discord.

Hi Jeremy,

First and foremost, we have never deleted any YouTube videos. All our content remains publicly available, and we stand by the ideas we've shared—whether they performed well or not—because transparency is part of our core values. The accusation that we “shilled” projects and then deleted evidence is simply false.

It’s also important to clarify that this review is based on a limited and highly selective perspective. You appear to have engaged with only a small subset of our membership community and have unfortunately missed out on some of the significant gains and valuable insights shared more recently. Many of our members are consistently benefitting from our research, analysis, and calls.

Siam is known for being direct, data-driven, and unafraid to challenge mainstream narratives—traits that may not resonate with everyone, but which are essential for navigating markets with honesty and precision. The claim that he has “little economic insight” or “poor risk management” is not supported by the broader track record of the service or by the many members who actively value his perspectives.

As for Discord engagement, while Siam may not respond to every direct message, the community as a whole is active and collaborative. We encourage members to participate in the broader discussions where both peer and expert insights are available, rather than relying on 1:1 DMs, which are not the intended channel for support.

Lastly, regarding the tone and pricing—this is a high-level service designed for those serious about market research and personal responsibility in trading. It is not for everyone, and we make that clear up front. That said, we always welcome respectful feedback and constructive dialogue—but false accusations and mischaracterizations do a disservice not just to us, but to those who rely on honest reviews.

We encourage anyone considering our service to look at the full picture, engage with the content, and judge based on evidence—not isolated experiences or personal frustration.

Kind Regards

I quit after just a couple of months the course is clearly not value for money. Siam is not intelligent enough to charge $800 a month for discord that is inactive and full of sheep like members who just blindly follow him .Siam’s ability with economics is lacklustre and he often promotes ponzis and then hides the evidence. Time and ohm he had several lectures online and had a price prediction of $40k for time which he then deleted the videos after the project collapses which is disingenuous . He makes himself out to be a winning trader but he’s actually $3 million down at the time of writing this post as notified by my friends still in the group. You could find better information for free in all honesty , there’s no way you should pay this membership fees for someone who can’t make money on the markets . Stay away at all costs .

Reply from The Realistic Trader 2025.05.16

Hi Mike,

We strongly disagree with your review and believe it presents a misleading and unfair portrayal of both the service and Siam himself.

To begin with, you’ve stated the membership price incorrectly. If such a basic detail is wrong, it calls into question the accuracy of the rest of your comments. More importantly, assessing a long-term trading and macro research service after just two months is not a serious or credible evaluation. Sustainable success in markets takes time, discipline, and commitment—none of which are reflected in your short engagement.

You mention that the Discord is inactive and filled with “sheep,” yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. The community includes traders, professionals, and analysts from around the world who actively engage, challenge ideas, and contribute real value. Those who apply themselves and participate meaningfully see the results.

As for the accusations around Siam’s intelligence or economic insight—they’re simply not grounded in reality. Siam has consistently shared both his wins and his losses, in real time, with full transparency. That’s a rare quality in this industry. If he were truly “$3 million down,” as you claim based on secondhand hearsay, do you honestly believe he would still be running a research platform with a growing membership? Let’s be realistic.

The repeated claim that we “promote ponzis” and delete videos is also completely false. We have never deleted any YouTube videos—everything is still available, including past content on projects like TIME and OHM. We stand by our analysis, including when we get it wrong, because learning from both sides of the trade is part of being a responsible investor.

Mike, the service we provide is for those with a trading mindset—people who understand that the market doesn't reward short attention spans or emotional decision-making. We're sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations, but your review misrepresents the facts, and it’s clear you didn’t engage deeply enough to form a fair assessment.

We encourage anyone reading this to look at the full body of work, ask questions, and judge based on evidence—not frustration.

Siam would have frequent meltdowns during live calls and would divide his own community. I urge you all before signing up please to read the negative reviews on trustpilot as they are from actual paying customers not free trail ones . During my time here Siam would constantly refer to Rt as “not a business” and frequently name call and insult members , calling people of the opposing political viewpoint “a pansy “ while himself sobbing on stream telling his $700 a month paying customers that they are free to leave when they want to and outing many on the discord just strange. Moreover the discord is useless in which the avengers and his staff at little value other than regurgitation of the good parts of crypto twitter . Siam himself is no where to be seen except for the briefest of conflicts with his own members he appears not to care about Rt or the members and sees it as funnel for his other investment funds Hitherto Siam would promote poor projects in the past like TIME and OMH on YouTube videos and once these projects would go to zero he would hide the evidence by deleted these videos in an attempt to look a far better trader than he actually is . He would delete videos of his losing trades and his own speeches on promoting failed projects like wonderland time that would go to zero thus concealing the truth that he’s a losing trader there’s no way this company subscription is worth $700 a month there’s better content on free on YouTube .the discord is dead and his staff are useless at everything (aside from providing refunds that is ) he hides the truth and sobs away on his livestreams in an attempt to garner sympathy from his own customers he’s blatantly ripped off! There is no value here , Siam continues to insult his members telling them he doesn’t care if they stay or leave.Stay well away there is no way that this subscription is worth $700 a month I wouldn’t even pay 700 Venezuelan bolivars for his losing trades.

We strongly and unequivocally disagree with the claims made in this review, which — like several others we’ve received — appears to be posted by someone who was never a member of RT. We’ve checked our database, and no record exists of this individual ever being subscribed.

Let’s be clear:

Siam has never “had meltdowns” or insulted members on live calls. These allegations are completely false and appear to be fabricated by someone attempting to smear his character. Conversations in RT — while direct and unfiltered — are rooted in transparency, accountability, and honesty. Siam consistently encourages open discussion and debate, even when members disagree with him.

The quote “RT is not a business” is taken wildly out of context. Siam has said RT is not run like a business chasing customer satisfaction at all costs — but as a community for traders and thinkers who want real, non-watered-down insight. That is a key distinction, and one we’re proud of.

There is no evidence of Siam promoting projects like TIME or OMH deceptively. These were speculative plays discussed openly and with proper disclaimers about risk. The claim that he deletes losing trades or past videos is patently untrue — all of these videos are still publicly available, and Siam is one of the few educators who does not hide losses, choosing instead to explain the reasoning behind them.

The Discord is active and valuable, especially during periods of market volatility. Siam offers insight, moderation, community management, and additional market commentary. Many paying members engage privately, consume content, and report value without needing to post daily.

Lastly, accusations that Siam is emotionally manipulating members or “sobbing for sympathy” are both false and inappropriate. Expressing vulnerability during live sessions is not a flaw — it’s a reflection of the pressure and responsibility Siam takes seriously in running a transparent, high-stakes community. This kind of personal attack is beneath constructive criticism.

RT has helped many members grow their conviction, build confidence, and become more independent traders — and that’s the point. We welcome feedback from real users, but this review is filled with falsehoods, exaggerations, and personal attacks. We will continue to defend our work and community from dishonest attempts to discredit it.

Kind Regards

0 STAR In my honest opinion, The Realistic Trader is nothing more than a sales gimmick. Siam Kidd comes across as a slick salesman, using a facade of friendliness, openness, and charm to lure in unsuspecting individuals and separate them from their hard-earned money. Don't be fooled by his seemingly trustworthy demeanour; it's just a ploy to make you part with your cash. Investing in The Realistic Trader is a surefire way to lose money like lots of others. Despite his promises, you're unlikely to see any substantial returns. It's essentially the same regurgitated information you can find from any free YouTuber. The products he sells are unregulated, a red flag for anyone concerned about the safety and legitimacy of their investments. Moreover, Siam Kidd has a knack for never admitting he's wrong. Disagree with him, and he won't hesitate to publicly hang you out to dry. Save your money and steer clear of The Realistic Trader – it's nothing more than a waste of your hard-earned cash in my opinion.

Hi Steve,

We appreciate your feedback, though we're disheartened to hear about your perception. The Realistic Trader community is built on transparency, education, and support, not gimmicks. Siam is passionate about empowering individuals with sound financial knowledge, and any suggestion otherwise undermines the genuine intentions behind our platform.

Contrary to your claim, our community has witnessed significant success stories, showcasing tangible returns for our members. We provide valuable insights and personalised guidance, far beyond what free sources offer. We constantly adhere to regulatory standards, ensuring the safety and legitimacy of crypto investments.

Disagreements are part of any community, and constructive dialogue is encouraged. Siam values diverse opinions and fosters an environment where learning and growth thrive. We're committed to delivering value to all our members and are sorry to hear you didn't personally gain any.

We understand that perspectives differ, and we're here to ensure our community remains a positive space for all.

Woeful contrapreneur All in all I cancelled my membership and I have to say I wasn’t impressed with everything about this company. Let’s start with some of the many flaws of what I felt RT was at the end of the experience this is a high ticket , high margin projects for Siam which charges you extortionate fees compared to other crypto trading groups. For this £500 you pay a month you’re providing Siam with a big cash cow and in return he gives you very little in return. 1 two hour trading pub a week full of amateur information that can be easily found on ubiquitous amount of other YouTube accounts from a losing crypto trader who does nothing but shill his alt coin projects so that you can be his exit liquidity ( see ohm and TIME talks that are on his YouTube page ) Furthermore for the astronomical fee get access to a discord that’s deader than my late grandpa (who passed in July 1981) which offers no preparatory insight into anything and is full of very low skilled traders who can barely think for themselves and are constantly losing money under Siam’s guidance it borders on the depressing if not morbid and distressing at times. There is very little here that is of any monetary value and is certainly not worth £500 a month. Maybe im not being unfair as Im US based I cannot provide an entirely fair viewpoint as compared to the bulk of members who are UK based and get free tickets to the live meet-up events. Regardless of whether im present or not at the meet-up events the quality of the lectures produced at said events are poor. Siam is not an economist, yet gives alot of economics lectures, he’s not a politics expert or historian yet delivers a shambolic presentation of Libyan history that’s so inaccurate its quite laughable that he would be so naive to believe the statistics of anything he himself presents . This is the core problem with RT its focused around Siam’s trading which results in horrific loses with an additional selection of talks on finance, economics and politics of /which siam has no experience in and judging by the inaccuracies of his presentations its clear this guy hasn’t a clue . Siam’s fraudulent marketing suggests he’s made millions on the markets. But this is just not the case on the group he’s clearly lost around $2 million since I joined and his traders and those who’ve invested in his golden geese company have lost $10,000s . Siam’s thought process is at best ambiguous , enigmatic and indecisive he would most defiantly struggle in a freshman year economics college class , I think he’d be a fish out of water in such an environment and has no business teaching people concepts which he himself really doesn’t seem to understand. Great thinking takes time and everything just seems so rushed with RT. Rarely do any of Siam’s thoughts and thinking yield any real genuine value and this is what you’re paying for you’re paying this astronomical fee for his insight and his insight is so wildly wrong most of the time that you’re not really paying for anything that’s worth it . His lectures and trading pubs literally look like they’ve taken an hour to make with at most about an hour of research. The biggest disappointment however lies with how Siam treats his discord members . Telling them to leave if they want , attacking them through his telegram calls or just dismissing the whole business all together. “ I don’t care about RT, it’s not a business” with this selfish and rude character it’s really hard to tell how Siam has even managed to muster any positive reviews or sales at all . How can a high end business treat people like this and get away with it? You wouldn’t get a flight attendant on a business class flight abusing you or waiter at a Michelin restaurant shouting at you but if you’re paying roughly the same price for these services as you are for Siam’s woeful course you will be berated infront of his other customers with no apology. Have people been mislead to believe this guy is actually legit ? Or are some people just stuck in a sunk cost fallacy where they’ve paid so much for membership they can’t come to terms with the fact that they’ve been ripped off royally? It’s hard to tell. In many ways Siam represents what’s wrong about the self help industry as a hole. Lemmings like myself falling prey to his authentic style of YouTube videos then paying horrifically for an overpriced shoddy course that could easily be found for much cheaper, A telegram that’s full of a mix of personal attacks on members or losing trades hitherto trading pubs that are filled with nonsense and yammering on about irrelevant, ineffectual almost tethering on meaningless information . Bethink Siam is qualified in nothing and is a straight D student turned salesman turned trader. All he knows is how to sell shoddy crypto ponzis or appallingly overpriced trading courses. His capabilities are severely limited at explaining economic concepts he has never worked in finance before and has 0 experience you don’t need to read this review as justification just witness his YouTube presentations at “cudl” events to see his lack of critical thinking . It’s as laughable and deceitful to think this man’s knowledge will ever be worth £500 a month to anyone. Siam’s ethics are also questionable in terms of the trust pilot reviews of which he gets his own employee accountant “Steve” to write reviews on his behalf. This is breaking trust pilot’s rules and regulations as those who are employed are not allowed to write reviews. He comes off as trustworthy but once you dig a little Please listen to these negative reviews do not give this man your money you will sincerely regret it. Don’t buy into the expensive price it’s just a marketing fad designed in handing over this guy a load of money so he can gamble on his next pump and dumps. He doesn’t care about you , he even has said this to several customers in personal attacks on his telegram. This is a high ticket marketing scam cash cow for him and nothing more. When you fall for it he will try and offload some more high ticket rubbish on you like a 1on1 flying lesson for £1500 designed to rinse his members further or a shoddy business if you’re lucky. I’ve attached screenshots of other members experience to ad a counterbalance as to what is written here and for actual proof of my time at RT.

Hi Jacob, We hope this message finds you well, and we appreciate your candid feedback regarding your experience with The Realistic Trader. We would like to take the opportunity to address the concerns you've raised and provide some clarity on the points you've mentioned.

1. Membership Fees:
You express dissatisfaction with the membership fees, describing them as extortionate compared to other crypto trading groups. While we acknowledge that our fees may be higher than some, it's important to highlight the unique value proposition we offer, including in-depth educational content, live trading sessions, and exclusive insights. We continually strive to provide value that goes beyond the cost of membership.

2. Quality of Content and Lectures:
Your criticism of the quality of lectures, particularly in areas where Siam may not be considered an expert, is duly noted and unfortunately Siam’s approach to trading and investing does not resonate with everyone. We appreciate constructive feedback and are committed to refining our educational content to ensure accuracy and relevance. We will take your remarks into consideration to improve the overall educational experience for our members.

3. Discord Community:
We regret to hear that you found the Discord community lacking in preparatory insight. We acknowledge that the effectiveness of any community is a collective effort, and we are committed to fostering an environment that encourages meaningful discussions and mutual learning among members. Our mentors are very active in the Discord community and are there to help with members questions and help them along their trading journey.

4. Ethical Concerns:
The accusation regarding the Trustpilot reviews is taken seriously. We have policies in place to ensure the integrity of our reviews, and any breach of these policies will be thoroughly investigated. Steve was a full paying member of The Realistic Trader for some time before becoming business partners with Siam in a completely separate business venture to The Realistic Trader. He is not, nor has ever been an employee, partner of paid contractor of The Realistic Trader. Any support or advice that has been giving to other members has just been between members of the RT community. We reply to all our reviews and try our best to ensure they were members of our community. This only becomes difficult when people write reviews anonymously or use a fake name.

5. Siam's Approach:
As I mentioned above, we understand that Siam's approach may not resonate with everyone. While he strives to provide authentic and unfiltered insights, we acknowledge that different individuals have different preferences. We will, however, take your feedback into consideration to ensure a more positive and inclusive experience for all members.

Regrettably, in our search for account usage records, we were unable to locate any trace of a Jacob Hanson within our community. This leads us to the assumption that your review might have been submitted anonymously. Were there instances during your membership where you reached out to Siam, the RT team, or the RT mentors for assistance? We make a consistent effort to extend support to all members as needed. It is challenging for us to validate this without knowledge of your real name. However, based on the content of your review, it appears doubtful that you extensively engaged with the course materials in the portal, which could have significantly benefited your individual trading journey.

We sincerely apologise that your experience with RT did not meet your expectations, and we genuinely wish you success in all your future trading endeavours.

King Regards

The RT Team

Gambling at best. I was a member for a long time and ended up getting out just before losing it all. I followed everything, did all the training and matched Siams risks and all trades. Time (wonderland) was a massive loss, and now it all sounds the same with the recent Kaspa bet. If you don't sign up to RT, great, but remember the next guy may be just as inept, choose carefully.

Reply from The Realistic Trader 2023.09.26

Hi Joel,

We appreciate your feedback and regret to hear about your experience as a former member. We understand that investing and trading can be challenging, and outcomes can vary for different individuals. We'd like to address your concerns and clarify our approach at The Realistic Trader.

Gambling: We understand that trading can sometimes resemble gambling, especially in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies. However, it's essential to highlight the distinction between informed trading and reckless speculation. At The Realistic Trader, we emphasise responsible trading practices, risk management, and thorough research to minimise the element of chance.

Training and Education: We take pride in our comprehensive training and education materials. Our goal is to equip our members with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions. While trading always carries risks, education is a vital component of responsible trading.

Market Volatility: Cryptocurrencies like Time (Wonderland) and Kaspa are known for their price volatility. While we provide information about various assets, we also encourage members to exercise caution and diversify their portfolios to mitigate risks.

Choosing Carefully: We agree that individuals should be discerning when selecting trading strategies and educational resources. We advocate for informed decision-making and invite potential members to research our offerings thoroughly to determine if they align with their trading goals and risk tolerance.

It's important to note that trading and investing carry inherent risks, and market outcomes can be unpredictable. We aim to provide valuable insights, tools, and education to help our members navigate the financial markets with greater confidence. We believe that responsible trading, combined with continuous learning, offers the best chance of success in the world of finance.

We're here to support traders on their journey and provide a community where they can share experiences and insights. If you have any specific concerns or feedback you'd like to discuss further, please feel free to reach out. We value all feedback as it helps us improve our services and better meet the needs of our members.

Regards

Unsatisfactory Experience I'm not one to complain, nor do I have a habit of leaving negative reviews, but my experience with the RT Community led by Siam was such that I felt it necessary to share. I believe it could potentially save others from an investment that didn't meet my expectations. Initially, I was drawn by the promise of learning crypto trading, guided by a professional for a membership fee of $500 per month. With such a substantial price tag, I anticipated top-tier advice, believing this would be a worthwhile investment towards my financial growth. Regrettably, my experience was far from this expectation. For six long months, Siam provided little to no actionable advice or guidance. When he did eventually start offering advice, it proved to be unprofitable, leading to losses rather than the anticipated gains. A point of contention was Siam's focus on critiquing other trading experts rather than improving our outcomes. Considering the high cost of his membership—far exceeding that of other comparable programs in the market—his energies seemed misdirected. Furthermore, Siam advocated for a passive trading style, praising a 10% annual return as good. Given the potential high returns in the dynamic crypto market, this seems subpar and doesn't justify the effort and high membership cost. One might ask why not just pursue traditional investment routes and bypass trading altogether. In summary, my experience with RT Community under Siam's guidance was disappointingly unfruitful. Despite the steep price, the program fell short of delivering on its promises. It seems to me that while Siam may profit from this business model, the benefits don't trickle down to the members—an imbalance that raises serious questions about the community's value proposition. For anyone considering joining, I'd strongly advise careful consideration.

Hi Ciprian, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with the RT Community. We appreciate hearing from our members, even when the feedback is negative, as it helps us identify areas for improvement.

Firstly, we apologise if your expectations were not met during your membership. We strive to provide valuable guidance and advice to our members, and we understand the importance of delivering on our promises. Regarding Siam's approach to critiquing other trading experts, we understand how this may have seemed misdirected to you. Our intention is to foster a culture of learning and critical thinking within our community. However, we recognise that a balanced focus on improving outcomes is crucial, and we will take your feedback into account to ensure a better balance moving forward.

Regarding the passive trading style advocated by Siam, we understand your perspective. Different trading strategies work for different individuals, and we aim to provide a range of approaches to accommodate varying risk tolerances and goals. We acknowledge that the crypto market offers potential for higher returns, and we are continuously refining our educational materials and live sessions to address this aspect in more depth.

In reference to the membership cost, we understand that it may be higher than other programs in the market. However, we believe in providing comprehensive support, educational resources, and a strong community that goes beyond the scope of traditional programs. We aim to create an environment where members can develop a deep understanding of trading principles and strategies to navigate the complex crypto market successfully.

We checked your portal progress and noticed that you only watched a small portion of the trading videos. It is essential to engage with the provided educational content thoroughly to fully grasp the knowledge and strategies shared. We strongly encourage all our members to watch EVERY video and live session we hold.

Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced during your time with us. We will use your feedback constructively to improve our services and ensure a better experience for our current and future members.

Hi Issac, This is a copy of a reply to a review you left elsewhere. Firstly, We understand that our coaching method may not resonate with everyone. While it is true that our approach incorporates time-tested strategies and principles, We are continually adapting and evolving based on current market conditions and the experiences of our students. We are committed to staying relevant and providing valuable insights that can assist RT members in their trading journey. During your time with RT, We updated the course a number of times with new content and recordings from live sessions and even though you watched all the videos you clearly didn’t assimilate the information correctly.

Regarding the investment opportunity, We do acknowledge that market fluctuations can be challenging and may result in temporary losses. However, we ALWAYS emphasise risk management and guide members through these fluctuations, encouraging a long-term perspective. It's important to note that investment returns in the crypto market can vary, and while it may take time to see substantial gains, we fully believe in the potential for success when applying our strategies diligently.

Our commitment to the RT community extends beyond coaching. We continually strive to create an environment that encourages growth and personal development. While we acknowledge that our coaching style may be perceived as "brutally honest" by some, it is rooted in the belief that honest feedback is crucial for improvement. We aim to challenge members to push their boundaries and develop a resilient mindset required for success in the trading world.

We value the sense of community that The Realistic Trader offers. Our goal is to foster an inclusive and supportive environment where members can exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one another. We encourage open dialogue and appreciate the diverse perspectives within our community. Not once during your membership did you voice your dissatisfaction. The first we knew of this was a public rant on a live session where you verbally abused other members of the community. Even when Siam personally messaged you to try and resolve this you decided not to reply. It’s a shame really.

Despite this, We are sorry your experience did not align with your expectations. We continuously strive to improve our services, taking into account the feedback we receive from our members, both good and bad. We genuinely care about the progress and success of RT students and are dedicated to providing valuable resources and support.

Regards

Disingenuous A few thoughts from my 6 weeks of using RT. I received a refund as the course wasn't what I expected and I was losing money for the first time since first investing in crypto 14+ months ago. I was grateful for the refund. In terms of actual trustworthiness, there's nothing to worry about here, but hopefully this review is a bit more realistic and current than some of the reviews on this site. I, along with many others, joined at the height of the Wonderland DAO euphoria. I was drawn in by Siam's YouTube videos where he spoke about his phenomenal uplift from sidestepping TIME. It is clear from these early videos that by being in the RT Telegram group, you are kept in the loop with Siam's moves and therefore have a competitive edge over those who are not in the group. I came to realise that this is actually a clever marketing strategy of Siam's; he is an astute businessman first and foremost. To join the RT Community is £4800 for 12 months. This gives you access to Siam's RT Telegram group, the RT Discord, use of a trading bot (for Forex), a weekly trading pub and the RT Portal. Over the course of the 6 weeks I was in the community I watched the RT members grow from circa 300 to 450- a £720000 annual increase for Siam. RT Telegram group: Some useful information in here. Siam clearly knows his way around a chart and his technical analysis is usually on point. He has been trading successfully for many years. Initially, Siam would post his moves regarding TIME. Typically, the RT members would then scramble to be on the correct side of the 'Siam candle'. Siam repetitively said that his moves in TIME only moved the price by a very small amount. This is true, but doesn't capture the whole picture: Siam's move in isolation would only move the price a fraction, but as he had one of the top 50 wallets, along with a group of RT members following his moves and other individuals monitoring his wallet (because of the very public youtube videos he puts out), the price would move by hundreds of dollars. If you got caught on the wrong side of this, as many did, you were effectively giving your money directly to Siam. There were plenty of people in the RT Discord who would post comments such as 'down $3k on this move' or 'missed out again, heard Siam's message come through and by the time I logged on the price had already gone. Should have held!'. One afternoon, Siam put a message in the group to say he was selling. The RT community responded and the price started to move, meaning by the time Siam's transaction went through he missed out on a chunk of profit. This clearly frustrated him and he posted a message in Telegram: 'arghh front runned by RT again! Going to have to change the way we do things in RT...'. It seemed clear to me that the plebs (us who joined because of the YouTube enticing) had taken the bait and now it was time to change tac in order to keep topping up his profit. From then on he stopped posting updates on his moves with TIME. I genuinely don't believe he cared about the numerous people in his group who were getting rekt on a daily basis. This didn't sit right with me at all. RT Discord: For the 6 weeks I was in the Discord, Siam was fairly absent. Often I would post questions which never got answered. Day to day running of the Discord is managed by the 'RT Avengers' who are helpful. There is some good information in here but realistically it's not too dissimilar to the good side of Crypto Twitter or other free Discord groups. With a little bit of research it is not too difficult to come across 99% of the info in here for free. Trading Bot: I didn't get a chance to set this up as it is purely for FXCM platform to trade Forex. I reached out to Siam as I found a lot of contrary advice from the RT Portal to the discord, Siam responded: 'Bot has been drained and all my funds are now in crypto'. Weekly trading pub: This is a live Q&A session held with Siam on a Friday afternoon. These sessions are useful as Siam goes through the charts and has a look at PA and potential movers. Frustratingly, with it being a working day I was unable to catch these live so had to rely on the recorded version being uploaded promptly as crypto is such a fast moving field. These sessions can also be quite long (up to 3.5 hours!) so it's useful to play them in double speed. As mentioned, these are on a Friday. One of these sessions was not uploaded until Monday evening. This is not acceptable. Even worse, on the Saturday in between I went on YouTube and saw that Siam had uploaded a new YouTube video on the Friday evening. This was absolutely infuriating to me and was the time I decided I would leave the community and ask for a refund. RT Portal: Focused on Forex. People have commented under the videos asking about Crypto and Siam has responded- 'don't trade crypto, just buy and hold'. Lots of videos from thewap.org which is £10 a month

Hi Nick!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your brief experience with The Realistic Trader community. We understand that trading and investing can be challenging, and we value your feedback. However, we'd like to address some of your concerns to provide a more balanced perspective on our services.

Marketing Strategy: You mentioned our Telegram group and how it keeps members informed about Siam's moves. While we do share insights into market trends and Siam's trading strategies, we encourage our members to use this information as part of their research and not purely as financial advice. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and can change rapidly, so it's crucial for traders to make informed decisions.

Membership Growth: We're delighted that our community has grown, and it reflects the value that members find in our services. Our mission is to provide educational resources, insights, and a supportive community for traders.

RT Telegram Group: It's essential to clarify that while Siam may share his trading moves, our members have diverse trading strategies and perspectives. We emphasise that trading is a personal journey, and members should exercise their discretion and risk management. Trading decisions should not solely rely on one individual's moves.

RT Discord: We appreciate your feedback on the Discord group and the support you received from our community members. We aim to provide a platform where members can engage, share insights, and learn from each other. Siam's absence during your brief membership may have been due to his commitments, but we encourage members to interact with the community and mentors for assistance.

Trading Bot: Our trading bot was primarily designed for Forex trading. Siam's shift to crypto reflects the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market.

Weekly Trading Pub: We appreciate your positive feedback on our weekly Q&A sessions. We apologise for any delays in uploading sessions, and we'll strive to improve the timeliness of these uploads in the future. Your feedback on session length is duly noted.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and it helps us identify areas for improvement. We strive to provide valuable resources, education, and a supportive community for traders. We're continuously working to enhance our services and ensure that our members have access to relevant and timely information.

Kind Regards

The RT Team

Great opportunity to learn I’ve learned so much since joining the RT community. Knowing that there’s hundreds of people willing to help you at anytime is an amazing feeling. I watch all of Siam’s videos, he makes complicated topics easy to understand.
