Complaint Review: Warrior Trading

 First off George I wrote this in 2017 and they must have paid you to write this fake review. I didnt even take the time to respond to their rebuttal since I know my review would make people pass.

Even if it was one person, the only way to hit scams is in their pockets. First off you do not know me so please don't assume you know what steps I took. Next, just because it took you a YEAR to do anything should show the reader that action is not one of your strong attributes. This is fact since you said it.

Now that a year has passed and now that you are one of their employees you want to come at me. WRONG! Since you take the time to review everything George, break down to the readers where I was incorrect in my pricing? Break down where I was incorrect about add on services?

The cost for more classes? Don't worry. I will wait. Please make sure that you come correct. Don't poke the bear. If you do, I will start making vlogs about Warrior Trading with the intent to put you out of business... which will affect your job security.

Tell you boss to make a decision. I highly doubt you want me to have someone sign up as a new trader to show the world how much of a scam this is. Everything will be recorded. Bow and kiss the ring or lets start a social media war. ** I typed this from my cell phone so my apologies for spelling mishaps**

Warrior Trading (WT) takes all reasonable measures to ensure anybody who contemplates enrolling in a WT course does so with full knowledge of what they are getting into, in terms of cost and curriculum. Anybody student who feels ambushed by so-called hidden fees, therefore, simply did not do their homework, before enrolling.

For starters, much of the WT website itself consists of free educational material on trading. WT also maintains a YouTube channel, with numerous tutorials that are free. Anybody who has paid attention to these will be well-informed about what a fee-based WT course will entail and who their instructor will be, even before they have spent their money.

WT also fully discloses their partnerships with brokers, scanner providers, and so forth. The burden therefore rests upon a prospective student to visit those other websites to discover what separate fees do they charge for the software tools that WT endorses. It should go without saying that you should do that before committing yourself to paying WT for a WT course.

For example, Trade Ideas, which provides the scanner that WT uses, entails an expensive annual subscription that is separate from the cost of a WT course. If you know from the onset that you are unwilling or unable to pay for a subscription to Trade Ideas, then you should hesitate subscribing to a WT course (or any competitor's course) that relies on Trade Ideas for its scanning.

I watched the same promotional webinar that this aggrieved student watched. But unlike him, I did not impetuously enroll in a WT course, imaging that I would be profiting from day-trading, in no time at all and with no out-of-pocket expense except for the WT course itself.

I instead spent an entire *year* studying all the WT videos on YouTube; following WT on Facebook; and learning to use Trade Ideas for scanning, before paying my money to WT for a course.

And, there are course prerequisites.

A student should own a nice computer workstation with multiple monitors and be experienced with computers, in general.

A student should have prior exposure with online brokers, at least enough to login to a broker website and to know what a broker website is for.

A student should have a beginner's knowledge of financial markets.

A student should have a beginner's knowledge of day-trading, which is easy enough when you consider all that is available online for free, both from WT and from other online resources.
You can also do a Google search for "Warrior Trading" to see what the public, at large, is saying about WT courses.

Disappointment occurs in life anytime reality fails to meet one's expectation. A good way to avoid disappointment, therefore, is to do your homework. Learn everything that can be learned about WT, for free, before committing yourself to paying for a WT course.

To that end, WT does its part to make the evaluation task easy for prospective students. But the burden still rests upon the prospective student to visit other websites, like Trade Ideas, to discover what the total cost of being a day-trader is going to be.

Like any business, Warrior Trading never likes to see unhappy members. Our goal is to provide each of our students with the best learning experience possible. Hundreds of reviews from our students can be viewed here: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/warriortrading.com

With over 5000 active members in our community, we have not seen any indication that these issues brought up by this student are widespread or are in any way an accurate representation of the typical Warrior Trading experience. 

In the case of this student, we can’t help but ask ourselves why this student had a poor experience. It’s important for us to look into these cases to understand if there was a place where we could have intervened to improve his experience with Warrior Trading.

Having reviewed the emails submitted to Warrior Trading by this student, it’s clear that the customer did not fully understand the product purchased. Additionally, they show the customer did not fully comprehend the content delivered in the classes. Typically in these cases, a student will have a much better experience if they reached out to us for support, although when this customer did reach out, he misinterpreted Travis’s response.

For whatever reason, there was a communication issue with this customer where he wasn’t able to understand our emails or our classes. Although I am disappointed to see this, I also understand that Warrior Trading is not for everyone. In this case, I don’t think our classes were the right fit for him.

I would like to address each of the issues brought up by this customer, and in the same order listed.   This will hopefully clear up the complaint both for the customer, and for anyone else who reads this post.

The first issue being about the Price of the Warrior PRO course offered at the end of our webinar. The Warrior Pro Price offered to webinar attendees was $2,497 not $4,000. This is our most comprehensive course and includes all the teachings Warrior Trading offers. The Warrior PRO course is the only course mentioned in the webinar.

We make no guarantees with the Warrior Starter course for good reason. The Warrior Starter Course is designed for people who have no knowledge of the stock market or how it works and is not intended to be a stand-alone path to live trading. It’s called the Warrior Starter because it is the beginning of your education. We actively discourage live trading until you have proven metrics showing profitability. This is for the sake of our customers. Having said that, the choice of when to trade live lies at the sole digression of the trader.

Second, it is stated that the customer would need to buy the simulator separately. This is simply untrue. The simulator is included in the Warrior Starter course at no additional cost. A quick email could have explained how to access the simulator. However, there would be nothing stopping a customer from buying the simulator as a stand-alone product, or subscribing to an additional 3 months of access.

Third, I would now like to shed some light on the recommended Computer setup.  It is simply not true that a student requires a $1500-2000 trading station. In our beginner class, we outline all the equipment used by a pro trader, so a student can decide which items may be required for their trading stations. Most of our students start trading with 1 laptop, and then add additional equipment as needed. We receive no compensation for suggesting computer hardware to you, it’s simply what we feel is in your best interest.

Forth, in the case of the rebill for $197, like most subscriptions, it is made very clear in the terms and conditions upon signing up that your account will rebill after your subscription is over. For good measure (as we do not want dissatisfied customers) a notification is sent via email reminding customers that their account will rebill in 3 days. This is a sufficient time frame to cancel any subscriptions. The $197 subscription is for the cost of continuing to use the chat room and the trading simulator. 

Fifth, regarding the cost of the tools mentioned by Travis, as stated on the email conversation, these are some costs associated with trading LIVE with real money (Which is not recommended for students until they have proven themselves as profitable in the simulator). None of the subscriptions mentioned by Travis are required, they are optional, and in fact many of them are included for free as part of the Warrior Starter Course. We encourage students to keep their overhead as low as possible while they are getting started. The only program that is required when trading live is a broker, which is typically free.

In summary, on each of the 5 points mentioned by this student, there was a lack of understanding on his part. Having reviewed our email correspondence, both automated and manually sent, we were very clear on each of the above points. I would be happy to work with this student to help clarify any concerns he continues to have. 

We wish him the best in his future trading endeavors.
