Pagetrader -- Rock or Rip Off?

Recommended Posts

I've seen these guys in the back pages of Futures Mag and other places for many years. Never really talked to anyone who uses/used their signals so I'm just curious. I have had limited success with real time signal services over the years. I've learned a lot more from a handful of courses I've purchased, some actually quite good. Signals, not so much.

 

However, curiosity is getting the best of me if anyone has any feedback....

I tried pagetrader for about 6 months a couple of years ago. I have honestly been dying to write a review of this trading service for a while. I feel like it's one of the biggest scams going. I lost thousands of dollars trading his exact signals, which were totally aweful.

 

The problem, or the 'scam' part of pagetrader is that the system recommends going long or short at a particular price, PLUS OR MINUS two ticks. When they report the results, and advertise them on their site, they assume the best possible entry price. This effectively exaggerates all their results by two ticks, and if you go through ALL their posted results (which i have), you'll see they average two ticks per trade!!! I went back over months and months of their results and did the math myself.

 

Here's an example to illustrate what i mean:

 

They will recommend a buy limit order on the ES at 1332.0, and suggest that you could get up to two ticks earlier than that. IF the price comes down to 1332.5 and bounces up from there, they assume that you DID get in 2 ticks earlier (even though you likely wouldn't have filled), and made money on the trade. They report this as a winner.

 

If the price comes down to 1331.5, they assume you got filled at 1332.0 (even though they suggested you could get in as early as 1332.5). So, if this trade happens to be a winner, they report that they got in at 1332.0 (again, even though they suggested you could get in as early as 1332.5). See the problem? In addition to that, of course if this trade was a stop out, they report a loss of two ticks less than what it would really be if you got in at 1332.5.

 

So, they have a methodology which seems to break-even, and they exaggerate all the results by two ticks because they're assuming best-case scenario, so overall it looks like their results are profitable.

 

TOTAL SCAM ARTISTS.

 

I have been a member of many many trading rooms, and lost thousands of dollars with lots of them (like i did with pagetrader), but i REALLY hate these guys in particular because i think they are completely dishonest.

 

I would highly recommend staying away, and not getting sucked in by their reported results, because they are total BS.

 

Cheers.

My experience I believe is similar to Thomas's..

 

I believe they make a practice fairly often of distorting or rewriting history regarding what they actually recommended, especially regarding their 'roadmaps', in order to claim they made a good call when in reality they did not.

 

Another example- they put out numerous support/resistance levels at the beginning of the day, and if one out of 10 happens to actually work, you will see in their nightly report that the market hit their 'target' and then reversed, and what a great trade it was!!

 

I guess the other 9 were not targets (since they didn't work!)

 

We all can claim this kind of success if we just put out enough support/resistance levels in advance, and then only talk about the ones that were valid after the fact (or close to being valid), sort of like psychics who publish in some obscure place a list of 500 celebrities they are predicting will die in 2012, and then make a big fuss about their 'success' when by luck one does pass away in 2012.!

 

The smaller-size daytrades that are recommended are not too bad, and are reported fairly accurately, but I don't think those are worth the high monthly subscription price..

 

And for me, it's really aggravating when they keep claiming wonderful success on the 'roadmap' trades that in my limited experience (admitted only 2 - 3 weeks, and I will cancel before I get billed again) are not necessarily an accurate reflection of the actual trading advice given in real time..

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
