Spent so much money, stayed for 5 full months of consistent 5-10 hour days, barring only when I’m sick which is like 5 days.
Consistently watch content, journal, took down notes, only to realise that he doesn’t even have a consistent drawdown template for his students which is why most if not all of them go bust after finish the course. Emailed them to ask but got no reply. 0. If I wanted to hit the lottery I’d just go to the nearest casino.

Hi John, sorry to hear this, but a few things don't add up on our end. We reached out asking for your account details to verify and look into what happened, and didn't hear back.
And since you're not showing as one of our students, we'd like to understand exactly what you went through and if it's actually the 1% club you were in contact with.

Hi Danial, we don't have any record of you as a student, and when we reached out asking for your account details so we could look into this, we didn't get a response.
Please provide more information about this and we'll happily look into things for you.

I feel like one of the worst traders in the world. I joined their course four months ago, I was told then that I would be able to do live classes and live trading. But it has been five months now and I have not received any live classes, any live sessions, anything from them. Most of the people who give reviews here give paid reviews. I have messaged, emailed and knocked on them more than 40 times so far. But they do not teach me anything with my money. Their entire team is a fake organization that runs on YouTube videos and hype.

Hi Mohammad, sorry to hear this happened to you. From what we can see, you were in contact with someone impersonating Brad, not our actual team — that's unfortunately common on social media, and worth reporting so the account gets taken down.
But to be clear: this isn't what our real course, live classes, or team communication look like. And our reviews are verified and coming from our own students.

Watching brad's trades for ages and still not proffiting. Also he is telling opposite of what he told in earlier his videos. If he is a good trader? Why he wants to earn from YouTube and selling course? Just increase the lot size.thats it

Thanks for sharing this, and we're sorry to hear trading hasn't clicked for you yet. We hear you on the frustration — losses sting, and it's fair to question the process when results aren't showing. We'd genuinely like to understand what's not working, since results can vary a lot depending on where someone is in the material and how it's being applied. To your question directly: Brad teaches and trades publicly because that's part of how the community learns, not instead of trading. We'd love the chance to look at this with you properly — please reach out to support so we can dig into specifics together.

Very aggressive and manipulative…
Very aggressive and manipulative advertising and calls. I understood the sales team was using all the dirty tricks to pressure the client into buying the course. They will ask what are you doing wrong in your trader, or what you will be able to do if you would be a successful trader. Then later part of your “consultation” use those information, to aggressively push you buy a 10k product without thinking it through. The strategy is, you are not doing well for ‘x’ amount of months of trading and you have this dream of ‘x’, and your salvation is this 10K mentorship and if you don’t act now you are repeating your ‘x’ months of mentality that didn’t bring consistent profit.
I find Brad’s videos very useful. But the marketing team/system is a real disaster and made me uncomfortable and lost faith into that system.
Make informed and calm choice, and don’t take decision under external pressure 🙏

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
I’m genuinely sorry to hear that the consultation made you feel pressured. That’s never the impression we want to leave, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Our consultations are intended to help traders understand where they are in their journey and whether our mentorship is genuinely a good fit. While we do ask questions about trading goals and challenges to better understand each person’s situation, those conversations should never make anyone feel manipulated or pressured into making a decision.
We take feedback like this seriously and are continuously reviewing our sales process to ensure every consultation is professional, respectful, and focused on helping people make the best decision for themselves—even if that decision is not to join.
I’m also glad to hear you’ve found our educational content valuable. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we’ll use it to continue improving our customer experience.

I have paid for 6 months in advance and…
I paid for 6 months in advance, but after just one month I realized that the program was mostly hype and wasn't delivering the results that were promised. The marketing makes you believe that if you stay for 6 months, you'll definitely see results, but that hasn't been my experience.
When I requested a refund, it was immediately denied. Based on what I've seen, many students who have completed the program are still not consistently profitable. This makes me question the effectiveness of the course and some of the reviews associated with it.
Another issue is that many people who join are working professionals with limited free time. The course content is extremely lengthy, making it difficult to complete in a reasonable timeframe. It almost feels like the course is intentionally designed to take a long time to finish, which keeps people subscribed longer.
Overall, I would advise potential buyers to do thorough research before committing, especially if you're paying for several months upfront.

Hi Paritosh, thank you for sharing your experience.
That said, one month is not enough time to evaluate a trading program, especially when the process we outlined wasn't fully followed.
Becoming a consistently profitable trader takes time, repetition, and real commitment to the work. That's not unique to our program — that's the reality of trading.
You still have access to everything for the remainder of your 6 months. What you do with that is entirely up to you.

My Takeaways
My Takeaways
I joined this program based on two key expectations:
1. The coaches would carry out live trading using real capital.
2. Their strategy would enable traders to scale their accounts within 30 days.
My Experience
However, my actual experience was quite different. None of the coaches demonstrated live trading with real funds. Most sessions were focused on suggestions and predictions about market direction rather than executing trades in real time. I did not see verifiable proof that any of the coaches were consistently profitable traders or managing significant capital.
Additionally:
Much of the content shared online (e.g., YouTube) appears to rely on demo accounts, simulated environments, or market replay, without transparent proof from live broker accounts.
There was a strong emphasis on promoting their subscription tools and applications, which suggests that a significant portion of their revenue comes from selling services rather than trading itself.
Course Content & Value
On the positive side, the program provides a solid foundation in market mechanics, which can be useful for beginners. However, the course fee (approximately $10,000 USD) is extremely high relative to the value delivered.
In my view, similar foundational knowledge can be obtained from other sources at a much lower cost.
Key Concerns
Lack of transparency in live trading performance
Over-reliance on theoretical analysis instead of execution. Business model appears focused more on course sales and subscriptions rather than proven trading success
My Takeaway
This experience has helped me better understand the trading education industry. From what I’ve observed, a large percentage of providers may not be consistently profitable in real-market conditions.
At the same time, I appreciate the learning I gained—it has helped me become more aware and cautious.
Recommendations for Others
If you are considering joining:
1. Do not pay the full amount upfront at any cost
2. Never pay any amount including first installment, straight after the call. They attract the people's dopamine by attracting that new-joiners can easily make more money soon they join the program
3. Strictly request them to share the coach's trades on a daily basis using real capital and request them to share the screen of their trading on daily basis. Request them to share their monthly equity curve for their accounts for better transparency. This shows that whatever the strategy is being taught, is also achievable in real life. So, no more theories
4. If the above conditions are agreed, start with an initial installment (on the worst case scenario) and evaluate the program carefully. Always look for evidence of real live trading and verified results. Ensure the coaches can demonstrate actual execution, not just theories. All these theories are from the SMC books that anyone can easily learnt it.
This program may be helpful for complete beginners, but due to the high cost and lack of transparency, I personally would not recommend this to anyone, and would advise exploring other alternatives before committing.
Also, the coaches have lack of knowledge on fundamental analysis, and they are completely beginners. They are quite good in SMC/ICT theories but not in real trading.
Finally, this is what I’ve observed: Brad’s YouTube content does not appear to reflect real trading. It seems that he relies on market replay, simulated accounts, or demo trading, and then presents it as if he is making significant profits from a single trade. This, in my view, is misleading.
Please don’t fall into this trap. This concern is not limited to Brad alone—it applies to many other YouTubers as well. As mentioned earlier, most of these individuals seem to earn their income through courses, theory-based lessons, and subscription services, rather than through actual live trading.
So far, I have not seen any of coaches, consistently trade live with real capital while transparently sharing their genuine experiences. Overall, I learned the good things what they acquired it (theories of market mechanics), and moved on, but it is painful that I paid a lot of money for it, which could have been invested wisely. A lesson learnt.

Hi Dawood, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We take all reviews seriously, but we do need to correct several inaccurate and misleading claims in your post.
First, the program fee is NOT anywhere close to USD $10,000 for the offer you are describing, so that figure is simply false and misrepresents the actual pricing.
Second, we have never promised that traders will “scale their accounts within 30 days.” That is not how we position the program, and no serious trading educator should guarantee outcomes like that. Trading performance depends on the individual’s execution, discipline, psychology, and consistency over time.
After reviewing your feedback internally, it is clear that the main issue here is a mismatch in expectations.
Our program is built around helping traders become independent and competent decision-makers through structure, process, backtesting, execution, and coaching. It is not built around copying trades, blindly following signals, or forcing live trades every day just for display.
Watching someone trade does not automatically build skill. If it did, most people consuming trading content online would already be profitable. We do share analysis, execution concepts, and live coaching inside the program, but we do not force trades simply to create the appearance of activity. That would be unrealistic and goes against how professional traders actually operate.
You are entitled to your opinion on the coaching style, but making blanket claims that the coaches are not real traders, that the content is misleading, or that everything is based on simulation without proof is not a fair or accurate reflection of what we do.
You also acknowledged that the program provided useful learning and a solid foundation in market mechanics, which directly contradicts the idea that there was no value delivered.
Our program is not for everyone, and that is okay. But we do not agree with the misleading claims in your review, especially around pricing, expectations, and how the program is represented.
We genuinely wish you all the best in your trading journey.
