Let me answer the question you didn't ask... In this day and age its hard to know who to trust – but that's what trading groups are intended to prove. Why? Because everyone in the group is there to help each other, not to rip off or con from one another.

So is a trading group legal or a scam? The answer's clear. A trading group is just a collection of people with the same goal: financial freedom.

Scammers set up websites to look like the website of a legitimate trading group.

Trading groups are a great way to learn about trading and make money. But some of them are scams. Here's what you need to know about trading groups, and how to spot a scam. What are trading groups? Trading groups are websites that allow people to buy and sell products in bulk, often at a discount.

They typically have a system for rating members so you can see who has a good history of buying and selling, who pays promptly and who doesn't. Some also have systems for leaving feedback after each transaction. Some trading groups are run by scammers Scammers set up websites that look like the website of a legitimate trading group with similar names or URLs.

They might claim to be affiliated with the real group or claim they're just starting out but want to offer members discounts while they're getting established. The scammers may even copy photos from the real group's website or use other tricks to make their site look more professional than it is — but this isn't hard to detect once you know what you're looking for.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is (or will end up costing you more than you expect).

Some trading groups are pyramid schemes where people make money not by trading but by recruiting new members.

Trading groups are companies that allow you to trade stocks and other securities with other members. They can be very useful if you’re new to trading or just don’t have time to do it yourself. Some trading groups are pyramid schemes where people make money not by trading but by recruiting new members.

The more people they bring in, the more money they make. The SEC has issued warnings about these types of scams, but it’s up to you to decide whether a particular group is legitimate or not. Here are some things to look out for: Find out how much money each member has made Ask about the company’s track record – does it have a good reputation among investors? Look at the compensation plan – does it seem fair? How much money are you expected to lose before you start making any profit? Check out online reviews from other users of the same trading group.

Potential members should read reviews and do research before paying fees to join a trading group.

Trading groups are becoming more popular. But they're often expensive, and they're not all legitimate. Trading groups are essentially peer-to-peer trading platforms that allow people to buy and sell shares, bonds and currencies with each other. The platform is run by a company that charges a fee for the service.

The most popular trading group in the UK is SpreadEx — it has more than 100,000 members who trade about £200bn every year. If you're thinking about joining one of these clubs, there are some things you should consider before signing up. Potential members should read reviews and do research before paying fees to join a trading group.

Some require members to pay annual fees, while others have monthly subscription fees or even daily charges if traders want access to certain services. Be aware that some trading groups don't allow users to withdraw their money until they reach a certain level of profit or loss - usually between 20% and 50%.

This means that if you have a bad day at the office and your losses exceed your gains, you won't be able to take any money out of your account until it's recovered its losses (if ever).

People can tell if a trading group is a scam by researching its member testimonials and seeing if they are factual or fake.

Trading groups are groups of people who share information about the buying and selling of stocks and other types of securities. Trading groups can also be referred to as stock trading groups, stock trading forums or even just trading forums. Trading groups typically have a structure where members pay a small fee for membership and then use the group's website to post their trades, ask questions and get answers from others in the group.

Some trading groups are operated by professional traders who want to share their knowledge with others who are just starting out in the world of investing. Other trading groups are run by scam artists who simply want to take your money. Some people believe that if they join a trading group they will learn how to make money with little effort on their part.

This isn't true at all; it takes hard work and dedication to succeed as an investor. There are no shortcuts or easy ways out when it comes to investing. If someone tells you otherwise then they're trying to scam you out of your money!

All in All...

The simple answer is, yes, there are trading groups that are scams. However, we believe that most traders who use trading groups are doing so properly. I guess it just comes down to how much you trust the people you are dealing with. The one thing I would like to add though: If a deal seems too good to be true and it sounds like a scam, it probably is.
