Piranha Profits Anmeldelser 

Adam Khoo is an amazing instructor. He is clearly very passionate about his work (teaching and mentoring). This statement is true for the entire PP and team. Good quality people. Do not be afraid to join because you found Adam on social media. I found him on YouTube. I have been nothing but pleased with Adam and his team. They are also very active on Discord and answer questions quickly. His Discord community is very supportive. I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the members were as I was a complete newbie with many questions.

Finally, I recently sent a Christmas message to Adam thanking him for saving my (financial) life. I’m a 55 year old physician, and I/we received no financial education. I knew nothing about the stock market. In the year since I joined PP, I beat the S&P 500 index performance and the majority of fund managers by a big margin.
I look forward to many years of being in the PP community. You gotta join!

I have been Piranha Profits student since 2019 and my capital gain since June 2019 until January 2026 has been raised to 131%. By just simply following Adam Khoo's investment rules such as only invest on top 1% best company in the world when undervalue, ignore all news and predictions, and hold tight through up and down of the market and Invest in yourself first are key instruments to my investment result. The good thing being in the Piranha Profits community is mental support, especially during market draw down. Emotional support from Adam's and Piranha Profits team has contributed to my resilience to not taking emotional action especially during bear market.

The way Adam explains things i would say he is the best teacher who can get a idiot to become smarter.

I have been a student at PP since 2023, and my only regret is not joining sooner. Europeans are generally unfamiliar with this type of income, and the job market is very precarious. The investment in the course pays for itself quickly, and Adam Khoo is a charismatic and engaging mentor. A huge thank you to the entire Piranha Profits team; they have shown me a path where I can balance income with quality family time. I recommend it 100%

The team. The coaches. The learning process and systematic trading.
Everything I have learned from Piranha Profits has make me a better trader and investor. I really appreciate them.
The investment for the course were paid back in a month and now many times over.
Highly recommended.

Adam is a great teacher and mentor. He can distill and simplify a complex problem so that it’s easy to understand.

This is a review of Piranha Profits: Alson Chew’s Price Action Manipulation (PAM) course and his PAM Trader Playbook (PTP). This review is based on my own experience, as well as private conversations with disappointed ex-students.

What Alson Teaches

Alson’s trading strategy is based on anticipating market moves and entering trades before traditional indicators suggest doing so. He looks at candle patterns on 2D, weekly, or monthly charts, with entry triggers based on the size and shape of candles. Some sub-strategies are fairly obscure—for example, setups that depend on the relationship between small and large bars over a sequence of five candles.

These methods may have worked for him, but for most retail traders, the execution, and discipline required are difficult to replicate.

The Offerings

Alson sells:
1. PAM Course – the standard training.
2. XSPY – essentially PAM plus some monthly Zoom calls.
3. PTP Playbook – a subscription that shows when he enters trades (marketed as educational, but in practice functions like an alert service).

Win Rate
Based on my experience and PP Discord sources:
Win rate is typically 30–42% (this is the PTP portfolio performance).
Yes, you read that right. That means 6–7 trades out of 10 are losing trades. The PP website states 60% winning chance. Are they lying? I hope not, but it is vastly different from what my peers and I experienced. I did notice, though, that Alson has a good and strict money management approach using ATR indicators.

Drawdowns and Captial with PTP
This is where my biggest criticism lies: Students are not really told about the steep portfolio drawdowns this strategy can entail.

Unexperienced retail traders (who else would take this course?) don’t typically have the stomach to deal with 20-30% drawdowns while hoping that a few winners will bail them out. I have chatted with people who lost 10 consecutive PTP trades, for example.

Many setups run on weekly or even monthly candles, which means capital is stuck in trades for months as well. For people with a small account it is not feasible and it is not how the PTP is marketed; this may have changed by now.

PTP Performance:
PTP has existed for 2+ years. As of Q3 2025 it has delivered around +20% total profit for 2025. If I am not mistaken, the first year yielded less than 6%.

Disappointing:
Alson started his PTP service with a 50K account in late 2023 I believe, which quickly dropped 20 to 25%. At that point, he injected another 50K, which conveniently reduced the appearance of the drawdown. This could have eased future marketing of the service as it painted a rosier picture of results than students with smaller accounts could realistically expect.

From what I can observe, Alson’s strategy struggles badly during market corrections and relies heavily on rare “pop events” (e.g. Chinese stimulus news, or the Trump-election crypto spike). Without such events, the system is way too complicated to justify the returns in my humble opinion.

Teaching Quality

Alson seems like a nice guy. His teaching, however, is poor compared with others in this industry. His explanation of his own strategies is not easy to follow. His English is extremely difficult to understand if you are not Singaporean (coming from a native speaker).

The slide design is very weak (worse than most basic Udemy courses). This is sadly symptomatic for all PP courses across the board. They could use an in-house designer.

He annotates charts during courses and live streams, but since he uses a mouse instead of a pen tablet, his notes are often illegible.

Community

I passively observed the Discord group, and one thing stood out: Negative experiences with PAM/PTP are frequently met harshly and even with hostility from loyal community members. Some of those defending it, appear to be trading with very large portfolios (hundreds of thousands), which puts them in a completely different league than most retail students.

Final Thoughts

To be clear: I don’t believe PAM/PTP is an outright scam.

However, I do believe it is sold in a misleading way—especially the PTP service.
If you’re a regular retail trader looking for consistency, or if you don’t have the emotional resilience to handle continuous drawdowns, this is probably not the course or playbook for you and I would highly advise against it. Many other common trading strategies on the internet work at least as well as PAM. More importantly, you do not get any "edge" through it.

This leaves me with no other choice than to give it 1 out of 5 star. One major reason: Adam Khoo excellent educational courses and reputation made me decide to go with Alsons (no way I would have done that otherwise). I don't understand how Adam can ruin his reputation which such sub-standard strategies and course material.

I have been a student of Piranha Profits for 4 years and I learnt investing, options and trading. Without a doubt I can say that Masters Adam, Bang and Alson are the best providers of education in this space. I have consistently beat the market many folds despite a bear market and many market corrections. I was able to earn back all the course fees within a few months and compound the returns over the last 4 years. All masters have an amazing ability to train students who have no prior experience and knowledge. I gladly recommend Piranha Profits to all who wish to gain financial independence well before retirement.

Scammer scammer

Piranha Profits Help change my investment journey. For over a decade my investments were sideways, But the VMI course made all the difference today I only wish I took the course earlier.

After joining Piranha Profits for more than a year, my experience with Piranha Profits has been superb. Since Dec 2023, I would proudly says that Piranha Profits courses equiped me with solid fundamentals knowledge and psychological management towards my investing journey. Beside that the group support within the platform and the communities are great.

As a total newbie in the market before that, the skills that i pickup from Piranha profits courses and community helps me had a great jump start and avoiding alot of beginners mistake which might end up more costly.

Piranha profits is a platform where all the like minded investors and traders gather to learn, earn and be financially free. It is a great community with knowledgeable mentors.

There are a few things that come to mind when I think about Adam Khoo, the Team, and Piranha Profits - honest, reliable, knowledgeable, experienced, successful, helpful and community minded. It's the best decision subscribing to the UIP. I have never looked back. At the end of last year I was up 50%+ in my main portfolio, up 30%+ in my self managed fund, and up 30%+ in my daughter's one.

Joining piranhaprofits UIP community is best decision I have made so far, not only that I get to understand a company better through the deep dive research, but also trained not to be too affected by the “noises” out there. It allows me to make my investment decision better through Adam’s guidance and be 100% confident with the companies selected

Adam Khoo is more of a salesperson than an investor. He criticizes Bitcoin and says he wouldn’t invest in it, yet sells a Bitcoin course. The same goes for day trading—he offers a course but advises against it. His courses are sugar-coated and designed to tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to know. While he has some good trading ideas, he’s been wrong many times (e.g., Estee Lauder, Tesla). Don’t waste your money on his courses—there are better, more honest resources out there.

UIP is too overpriced, You pay that much so that he tells you to invest in the magnificent 7, the community are clueless blabbers and Adman is so arrogant, he barely answers any question, he also shares some option trades that are mostly losing trades.

Even though last year we purchased the bundle with the course, on this year renewal they want pretty much the same price which is more than 1000$... Not much added value to be honest so I'm not renewing my subscription and to be more honest, I regret subscribing in the first place.

We am writing feedback from my experience from option course and OTP that we personally purchase. Hope to provide a better picture for those considering to pay/join the course.

The 1 star review is for Bang Pham Van OTP course.

For Adam Khoo course - 5 stars+ cos his insight of the market is good and most importantly easy to understand. His investment methods are more of conservative as not to ruin his good name. He takes very safe investment methods for higher than S&P returns.

Join Adam stock investment course , UIP playbook if you are beginners ......

1)Happy with higher returns than S&P INDEX.

2) No basic understanding of the stock market at all and wish to learn . His course is easy to understand.

3)Join UIP playbook and mirror his trade and save the effort in searching and scanning for stock to invest.

*Bang Pham Van (Options Course and OTP playbook)*

The option course is definitely worth the money if u have totally NO knowledge about options. The course is relatively easy to understand , well prepared and organized.

But if you have a basic understanding of options and a quick learner. You can get the same knowledge for FREE from social media or YouTube.

This is what the 1 stars is rated for.
*OTP playbook by Bang Pham Van*

This is a community group playbook that Bang posted SOME of his trade. It is meant for members to mirror his trade to make money. Unfortunately not ALL his trade is posted there as he has other community groups. Which u need to pay separately to join.

There are total of 7 account according to his posting. OTP playbook is 1 of the 7 account. The returns is less than 18% last known.

In every previous and new upcoming webinars. U will always notice how Bang Pham Van sells his OTP grp by stating his high earning from ALL option trading (7 account). The marketing of his course is based on his Overall options trading returns.

Unfortunately when u pay/purchase for the OTP playbook. U are shown only some trades in the OTP.
It is equivalent to the promise of selling u a Ferrari but when u pay the money , they deliver a bicycle to u.

The OTP playbook returns are worse than by investing S&P INDEX. The effort , time and money spent is definitely not worth it.

The amount in OTP is USD100K (Buying power/Margin) but they will tell u can trades/follow his trade with as low as USD5K , 10k , 20k....etc. Unfortunately again as the start up amount is different , u are unable to follow Bang Pham every trade with your small account. And his win rate is 50/50 or less. If by chance those few trades u choose to follow Bang Pham went in the wrong direction and u have to cut losses when he does. That will wipe out your account in an instant.

We would advise against the Bang Pham Van OTP as the returns are not as promised not it is worth the effort. There is also a chance of losing due to the reason above.

We only followed the Bang Pham Van OTP trades for 3 months and noticed the inconsistent wins. We stopped and learned to trade myself for the next 15 months. We also saw the grievances posted by other members due to the issues stated above.

Option is a great skills to learn. We have personally benefits from the option course and super charge my returns from trading. Our return is more than 100% and we have no regrets paying for the option course but not the OTP playbook.

Ask them for the YTD P&L for OTP , UIP or PAM if u still keen.

Ask them for the initial investment needed.

The playbook is not the one and only. They have wave rider , master class and advanced....etc.

That the reason they is multiple accounts. Remember u only pay for 1 of the playbook only. To follow others , u have to fork out additional $$$.

All the best to those who are still keen to join up. 😊

Adam puts in alot of effort every month to come up with UIP updates as well as provide us good information whenever theres an update regarding a company. This helps me in making prompt decisions regarding my investment journey

I followed Adam Khoo since early 2020, after he called the bottom of the covid crash, I spent thousands of dollars on his courses.

To be honest his trading courses are not much different from others, just more organized. Most courses are very basic which you can totally learn on youtube for free. There are a few "advanced" strategies but you can probably use them twice in a year, with average win rate.

His investment mentality is just "buy and hold". For example, he's still bag holding stocks like EL, BABA for years. If you check his annual performance in his videos, it's not much higher (if not lower) than QQQ, so you might as well just buy QQQ and save thousands of dollars on his courses.

Back to my own experience, I made some good profits in 2020 and 2021 following him, so I doubled down my investment in 2022 and bought all the stocks Adam recommended during market pullback. Guess what, the market kept going down while Adam just told you to buy and hold. Also he's been talking about the Christmas rally since June 2022. I really believed in him at that time, so I doubled down again before December. Guess what, QQQ has its worst month in December and my portfolio -60% in 2022, thanks to Adam.

To summarize, if you follow him in the beginning of a bull year like 2020 or 2023, you will definitely make money, just like everyone else. If you follow him near the peak, get ready to be screwed because he's not gonna tell you to sell.
