I started trading with market master pro just a few hundred pounds things went well for the start and they asked me to to invest more money which I did they want you me to build it up to £50,000. I said I couldn’t afford that much I’d already put in £20,000. I ask him to let me have some funds back but they declined. They said I couldn’t get it back do you want? I traded with was zayn and his boss Nathan called me and tried to bully me and to put him more money in. I told them I couldn’t afford anymore. I would like my money back instead. I’ve got no chance and that’s how it stands today putting every excuse to have nothing to do with me anymore. They’re very fraudulent. Absolute scammers people should not have to do with them. my name is Robert Cross.

$20,000 'mentorship' and $10,000 lost in recommended algorithm - proceed with caution
This is a genuine caution for anybody considering getting involved with market masters. This review reflects my personal experience.
As people say, there are always 3 sides to a story (his, hers and the actual truth), it is for this reason I shall simply highlight the facts.
Having cross paths with Ricky and met him in person, I agreed to pay him $20,000 USD for ‘mentorship’. The agreement was, his mentorship would continue until I had simply accrued $20,000 in profit from trading. He mentioned numerous that there was a guarantee if things didn’t work out, and unfortunately I took him on his word.
From there, following his advice I placed $10,000 USD into his algorithm. I wasn’t at that point even familiar with the concept of trading bots, I was under the impression that I would learn how to manually trade. As it transpired, the bot crashed and blew the account. Now, that in itself totally accept, as I’ve discovered the hard way, algorithms do crash. They incredibly high risk. So with regards to the bot crashing, I took the risk, and lost the money. I infact never complained about this at all. Ricky was uncontactable for many days after this, and when I did finally get through to him, I even mentioned how I understood why it was probably best for him also to take a few days to work out what had happened.
At this stage, after around 1 year, and having lost $10,000, I opened up the conversation to Ricky, that clearly things hadn’t worked out and I wanted to active the guarantee where we could agree on what was fair. Something we had spoken about in depth before. As it transpired he had no intention at all of refunding any of the $20,000. I reminded him, that again, the $10,000 lost in his algorithm, I completely accepted, but what was unacceptable was him going back on his word. So ultimately, under his ‘mentorship’ I gained no real insight into any trading secrets at all and lost another $10,000 in his algorithm.
After months and months of trying to get him to activate the guarantee that he had promised, we had an agreement where he conceded that he would put in $10,000 of his own money, into a trading account and after 1 year I would receive the profit. This was under the proviso that I had full access to view the account, of course, or how else could I know? He informed me the money was in a trading account, but that the account itself was ‘locked’ and monetary values were private and hidden. Then a few months later, that the account had also blown. I’ve messaged him numerous times, to ask him simply for some account history or proof of transfer. But what can I expect?… he hasn't been willing to substantiate that he put $10,000 into the account.
I personally, also know someone very well who lost around $55,000 in his trading software. Ricky was again, uncountable for a number of days after this. But again, this was in using the software itself, and so one takes on the risk and has to accept the loss. This is why big banks term algorithmic trading as high risk.
You can see online, plenty of other people who have had similar experiences on YouTube.
Market masters themselves, all had a previous trustpilot account, you can see some more previous reviews on there, under the name MM.
For any reader who has had a similar experience, a good avenue to register the complaint is ic3.gov. It likely won’t get your money back, but it will at least highlight the pattern to the federal agencies concerned.

I'm glad that many people see Ricky as a scammer now. He's a professional thief. He stole $4000 for me and my husband 2 years ago just for a FTMO challenge and even I message her wife who is her complice in stealing people because she lives good life with her husband money and contact her stepmother there was nothing she can do. They are all a thief family who lives a luxury life with people's money without any returns. Ricky and Linda Andrade, Market Master Academy ran away from them they will eat your money without any conscience. If I could put 0 star I would for him.

Is this a scam?
Do not waste your time or money! I joined, and suddenly found myself diverted to Monetio with a trading account. A 'Success Manager' called Carl Berg (probably fake) then started to provide advice, help that resulted in a loss. Once Carl realised I wouldn't invest any more money he disappeared, leaving me with an unwanted account and unable to take the money I had left out of the account. Monetio told me to contact Money Masters about the account if I wanted it to end, which I promptly did. That was well over over two weeks ago and I'm still waiting for a reply. I have wasted time and money and have been left with a very bad taste in my mouth.

I feel ripped off
I apparently made an investment deposit through this company and then traded to make a profit.
Getting that money out is so far impossible.
I was pressured to invest more but declined until they told me how to get my returns, when I tried they told me I had made a purchase, for some training. no receipt, no communication no service

The Auto trader is a great tool that helped me pass my $100K prop firm challenge with MFF. I see some reviews here that really do not make sense because I am sure those people did not follow the correct protocol on how to use and manage the EA.
