I had high hopes for Graystone Trading
I had high hopes for Graystone Trading. The platform looks great, the community seems active, and the idea of structured coaching is appealing. But after my experience, I’m left with more questions than confidence. I had a Zoom call with one of their traders, and during the call, I was shown a year’s worth of supposed trades — all showing gains in the 50% to 85% range. As someone who’s traded before, I can confidently say that kind of consistent return is just not realistic. No losing trades? No volatility? That’s not how the market works. When I asked for a copy of the trading records to review later, I was told they were “only for internal use.” That’s a major red flag. If you’re showcasing performance to convince someone to join, but can’t provide verification? That’s not transparency — that’s a sales pitch. Combine that with the fact that they claim to have over 3,000 students paying around $7,000 each (do the math — that’s $21 million), and you really start to wonder: if they’re making that kind of money teaching, why would they need to trade at all? I’m not calling it a scam outright, but there are too many inconsistencies and too much smoke. If it sounds too good to be true — especially in the world of trading — it usually is. Buyer beware.
