STARTrading Reviews 112

Just to manage expectations, you will pay £50 for what you think is a weeks training on trading. 1.5 hrs per night, one night was 2hrs.

They teach you about 10 - 20 mins of VERY basic information each night and the rest of the time is basically a sales pitch. You dont learn any strategies in that week.

The team want you to sign up for further mentorship programmes - which after hours of listening to the painful sales pitch you discover is £5k for the basic programme and a staggering £15k for the platinum programme.

Very disappointing. I mean you would have to an excellent and successful trader to even recover what you pay on the mentorship - and how long will that take realistically??!!

The best choice I made. I am learning how to trade different strategies and successfully trading live. Lewis Crompton, Josh and his amazing Team have been extremely supportive from the start. As a grandma, age 73, I acquired Trading and Computer skills using the STARTRADING's Course and Method. Coaches, Mentors and the Startrading Community continue to support me on a daily basis. I enjoy my trading journey and highly recommend Startrading.

A super safe and trustworthy trading course with awesome mentors who actually care. The community’s supportive and full of energy - which makes learning trading way easier and more fun.

The best part is that they give you the tools to stand on your own feet - so you can step into the markets with confidence, not dependency.

I would thoroughly recommend the STARTrading to anyone that is interested in learning how to trade in a safe, well-structured approach with incredible support not only from Lewis, Josh and the rest of the STARTrading coaches but also from the amazing community of other trainees.
Having began the course in March, I started to trade live within 2 months and from the beginning of August every dayusing all of the strategies taught within the program. I am already blown away by the results I have achieved so far and I have no doubt that with continued support from the STARTrading coaches and the wider STARTrading community, I will achieve financial freedom much faster than I could have ever hoped for.

I joined the Forex in 5 in September 2024 and signed up mid way through this course to the Platinum Mentorship.

It’s a significant investment and I was worried at first but I was very quickly reassured when experiencing the structure of the course and the way it is taught.

I love that there are weekly coaching sessions with amazing Mentors who provide constructive feedback on backtesting.

This was invaluable as every week I learnt something new and was able to correct things I was doing wrong.

The community is super supportive and there is always someone around and willing to answer any questions.

I’m now 5 months in and have 4 strategies I can trade live.

I have learnt so much throughout this course and will always be grateful I came across StarTrading and the fantastic Mentors and Community

I've been on my journey with Lewis, Josh and the rest of the StarTrading family since November and have been so impressed with the personal care and attention you get as you start your Forex trading journey. I can be a bit of a minefield of terminology and psychology, however the structured format of the training, the personal touch of the mentoring and the fabulous group of people who are part of the StarTrading community have made the journey much easier. I have already been recommending them to friends and colleagues who are fascinated by the world of trading and want to know more.

Fantastic community, and great coaching!
Lewis, Josh, and the other coaches are absolutely fantastic. They truly go above and beyond, not only teaching but creating a supportive, engaging environment. I love how they have built such a strong community where students can learn from one another. It’s amazing to see how everyone, no matter where they are in their trading journey, can feel welcome and supported.

I started off as a complete beginner, and in just 4 months, I’ve already mastered 3 different strategies that I’m actively trading live. I’m also currently diving into a fourth strategy. The coaches guidance has been invaluable in my growth as a trader.

It’s truly a unique place to learn, grow, and expand your knowledge.

I would highly recommend StarTrading to anyone looking to seriously learn trading and build another income stream. The support and resources provided here will set you up for success.

Great community and learned so much from the coaching team for which I am so grateful. Laid a solid foundation for building my wealth and having fun at the same time.

What an amazing 6 months I have had learning how to trade with STARTrading. I am now live trading 5 different stragies daily and the support I have had from the team has been outstanding. I had previously tried with other companies and was about to walk away from trading and then I met Lewis and Josh! Here's too full retirement in 3 years time :-)

I have been on the mentorship program with STARTrading since April and can say I have very been pleased with all aspects of the company. The trading course is clear and well structured. The teaching is excellent. The community of other learners and active traders has been very helpful, friendly, supportive and encouraging. If you are looking for a genuine company who care about you and teaching you to trade safely and consistently, I highly recommend STARTrading.

STARTrading is just excellent, love everything about it! Lewis, Josh, Lindsey and the rest of the team truly care about the students success and development. Love the main objective that the students are taught the skill of trading, which ensures empowerment, is just perfect!

Great weekend for learning and one to one sessions
Lewis and Josh are very helpful and patience
great company all around fab group too

The Startrading team are brilliant. Professional, knowledgeable and immensely patient. Lewis and Josh break everything down and teach in a way that everyone understands the basics of trading and strategies. They are both passionate about they do and that really translates in the way they teach. The retreat has been a great way to cement what I had already learned during the mentorship but also allowed newcomers to develop a really good understanding of the trading world. I am very excited to continue my journey with Startrading.

For the past 3 days I’ve been on an awesome retreat with StaTrading. It’s been incredible. The days have been well paced so they are not overwhelming, with time to relax as well as learn. I have had so many breakthroughs that will help me on my trading journey. Thank you.

Very relaxed and enjoying way of learning. A chance to team build get to know each other and build a community of like minded people. Love to be in more retreats.

I can highly recommend Startrading. I’ve been a member now for about 3 months. They teach you everything you need to know, and no prior knowledge is required. I’ve previously been a member of 4 other communities, and Startrading became my final destination. In my experience, Startrading is unique in actually teaching all the different angles you need to know to be able to trade. Other communities have only shared a small part of the whole truth, which makes you feel stuck.
I am forever grateful that I took the step and want to warmly thank Lewis for what he does :)

Before anyone invests ANY time and MONEY into ANY Trading / Investing education you must convince yourself that the methods being taught actually work and that students (and the INSTRUCTORS OF COURSE !!!) that have been through the system are up and running can provide the PROOF that it works.

Someone has to show you a verified account proving it and not just some fake trade log spread sheet that an 11 year old can knock up.

You don't have to see continuous pink and fluffy Social media postings and need to hear how wonderful the Course, Instructors and the Group learning is - this is IRELLEVANT!

If no one can show that it actually works then what can anyone conclude ?

You may hear these well worn excuses -

Ahhh - there is GDPR - we can't provide this information. RUBBISH - successful students will want to share their results and success stories with Newbies.

We USED to publish our results but now we don't.

My trading is evolving and I'm getting there.

I don't trade any longer I am too busy teaching and helping other people.

Sorry Lewis but you can't do any of the above.

STARTrading Score - 0/10

Verdict - FAKE EDUCATION

Prove me wrong and post proof of your methods working here on this channel or on your website - LEWIS YOU CAN'T

If the words above saves one person time, money and frustration then I will be happy.

An incredibly supportive community with flexible learning that has changed my whole approach to financial freedom. Lewis & Josh have been fantastic and the community they have created boosts your confidence and is all about positivity and celebrating everyone's development

Extremely Disappointing Experience with StarTrading Platinum Course
I purchased the Platinum StarTrading course on June 2, 2023, and I am extremely disappointed with
the experience. Despite the high expectations set by the marketing materials, the course fell short in
several significant ways:
1. False Promises: The course was advertised as a path to becoming a proficient forex trader,
but this claim is entirely unrealistic and misleading. The content barely covered the basics,
and advanced strategies (like understanding what a pip is) were not taught. I followed the
training diligently yet, the results are nowhere near what was promised. Many other mentees
share this opinion too, particularly regarding the disconnect between backtesting and live
trading. If forward testing had been included in the program, it would have clearly shown
how ineffective and unreliable the method truly is. Unfortunately, this wasn’t part of the
Platinum Program, however it’s a common practice to forward test the method before
trading live account. After a year, I have seen no results that align with the advertised
promises of financial independence or career transformation. In the advertising videos, it is
explicitly stated that one can start with a small account and achieve success, but in reality,
this is mathematically impossible and completely misleading. In the advertising videos, it is
explicitly stated that one can start with a small account and achieve success. However, this is
mathematically impossible, and I encourage anyone to take a closer look at the calculations
to see how unrealistic these claims truly are.
Through extensive research and analysis, I have come to realize that achieving significant
financial freedom through trading is extremely challenging, even with a large account. For
instance, even if someone were to trade at the level of Warren Buffett, achieving
approximately 20% year-over-year returns, the actual earnings would remain modest,
especially when considering regular withdrawals.
Somehow, this important detail was not adequately addressed by the main mentor. To illustrate,
consider the following scenario: starting with a £5,000 account and achieving consistent 20%
annual returns:
• Year 1: £5,000 + 20% = £6,000
• Year 2: £6,000 + 20% = £7,200
• Year 3: £7,200 + 20% = £8,640
• Year 4: £8,640 + 20% = £10,368
• Year 5: £10,368 + 20% = £12,442
• Year 6: £12,442 + 20% = £14,929
• Year 7: £14,929 + 20% = £17,915
• Year 8: £17,915 + 20% = £21,497
Even with these consistent returns, after eight years the account would only grow to £21,497, which
is far from the financial freedom promised by StarTrading.
More to the point, even with the power of compound interest, it is incredibly difficult to achieve the
level of financial freedom promised. While compound growth is beneficial over time, the returns
are still modest, especially when starting with a small account. The realistic outcomes, even with
consistent gains, fall far short of the expectations set by StarTrading
Most people, myself included, are starting with much smaller accounts. I began with £500, based on
the belief that by following the StarTrading method patiently, I could achieve success. However,
considering these calculations, it becomes clear that achieving financial freedom through this
method is highly unrealistic, particularly for those with small starting accounts.
2. Overhyped Success Stories: The promotional materials highlighted success stories that
seemed far from the norm. These stories were clearly cherry-picked to present a rosy picture.
Many of us, including myself, were asked to provide positive feedback early in the training
before we had any real experience in live trading. At that stage, we were still hopeful and
unaware of the eventual outcome.
3. Poor Quality Content: The quality of the course content was subpar. The videos were
poorly produced, and the accompanying materials were full of errors, including grammatical
mistakes. When students raised these concerns in the Discord community, they were often
ignored or removed due to the “no negativity” policy. It felt as though the course lacked
proper preparation or expertise.
4. No Refund Policy: To make matters worse, there is no refund policy, which was not clearly
communicated at the time of purchase. Given the significant cost of the course, this added to
the overall sense of being misled.
5.
In conclusion, this course did not meet its advertised claims. It was a significant waste of both time
and money. I strongly advise others to be cautious of such overhyped courses and seek more
credible sources of forex trading education.

STARTrading provide a safe, structured and manageable way to master the path to becoming a trader, that once mastered only takes half an hour a day. The amazing STARtrading team are there all the way, mentoring their trainees through the learning of clear and concise strategies.
