I've been a member of CT for 3 years and feel compelled to respond to some of the claims being made, as they don't reflect my experience or what I've observed in the community.
Trading involves drawdowns, every strategy does, and anyone who tells you otherwise is the real scam. The November/December period was volatile across the entire market. What matters is how risk is managed over time, not cherry-picked losing weeks. My account has been net positive overall, and the track record is posted transparently for members to see.
I've seen members removed, but in every case it was after repeated disruption, not "just asking questions." There's a difference between asking a genuine question and creating panic in the chat during a drawdown. The ticket system exists for a reason, and I've personally had mine answered.
Scalping SPX 0DTE means taking quick profits, that's the strategy. Holding 15 seconds to a minute on a winner IS the plan, not a flaw. As for holding losing trades longer, that's a defined risk parameter, not reckless behavior. You can disagree with the approach, but calling it incompetence shows a misunderstanding of the strategy.
The system uses rule-based entries with defined criteria, it's systematic, which is what "algo" refers to. Nobody claimed it's a fully autonomous AI trading bot. The entries are consistent and repeatable, which is the whole point.
I've made money. Others in the community have posted their results. One person's losses don't represent everyone's experience. Trading carries risk, and individual results depend on execution, position sizing, and whether you actually follow the signals.
With respect, if someone risks $25,000 on any single trading service without proper position sizing or personal risk management, that's a personal responsibility issue. No service, anywhere, guarantees profits, and every reputable one states that clearly.
The primary focus has always been SPX 0DTE. Any additional plays are clearly labeled and optional. Conflating side content with the core service is misleading.
No trading community is perfect, and losses are part of the game. But the characterization in that review doesn't match what I've experienced as a paying member. Do your own due diligence, paper trade first, and size appropriately. That advice applies everywhere, not just here.
