Peter,
I think you have a good assessment here but you miss big on one major point.

If you look at ZuluTrade (Cyprus), Axiory (Belize), Ayondo (UK), eToro (Cyprus/UK), and all the other Social Managed Companies IN good regulations, they all still never last more then a couple years.

The companies you named here lost as well, but their regulation really isn't what I would be focusing on, here's what I would remember -

Bank traders achieve 15-20% a year for institutional investors (pension funds, HNW people, etc).
If you are going to RISK your money with one of these types of trading programmes on any of the websites mentioned on FPA, the risk is 90% change you will eventually lose big. What you cannot therefore do is then later scream "SCAM!" when you knew there was enormous risk.

100%+ a year is impossible to last forever. Period.

#FmrBrokerExecutive

I agree with you that, social trading and retail program are high risks. I have traded on Etoro in my earlier years, it's just marketing and not really beneficial for copiers, often the leverage involved and inconsistency leading to huge eventual losses. I personally also don't use MQL5 or ZuluTrade etc, because as long as the returns are more than 20-40% P.A, and DD more than 10%, I would already be very cautious. I would rather trade myself than to risk with someone I don't even know. Even HotForex PAMM, I have seen many traders with huge negative floats and eventual margin call, because true analytics weren't shown but boosted ROI and not absolute gains concurrently. There are many trading results with 100-1000% gains but mere 1-20% Abs gains but nordhill is very smart they don't the master account lump with investor's account to prevent such thing from happening.

Often people are blinded by false advertising and disregarded the risks here. Your point is about the inherent risks involved in High ROI Investment Programme with the lack of risk management practice versus why institutional traders and clients prefer much lower ROI as it is more sustainable and practical with their large sum of money involved.

My earlier points are targeting on the security of investment, but your point of ROI is obvious too, too good to be true simply and the inherent risks, investors are disregarding.

I did some analysis and will talk about 2 things here.

Point 1 - http://www.myfxbook.com/members/nordhillcapital/pavilion-fx/1959815
Pavillion was recently launched - As usual when they launched it always go downhill.
There are a few possibilities

• Unlucky timing for investors
• Because track record was fake and plotted so investors will never dream of the past ROI gain
• They want to make losses to cover up for "Fake Plan"
• Traders too stressful to deliver

So I went a little deeper. Because I was simply annoyed by the 1000%++ gain on the track record and last year they had crazy months over 50% gain per month. So These were what I found.
Anyone can proceed to Pavilion track record and visit all last year's data and history - In case they start hiding Pavilion track record, click export PDF on their myfxbook.

This is very unethical of a managed account company. The past trading record like what #FmrBrokerExecutive mentioned is too absurd for a sustainable growth for investors. Those who were higher risk on pavilion had a very bad month in August 2017 so far based on their myfxbook. These burns would already cover up for the " Hawk Plan " they promised to give to investors.

The Draw-down associated is more than 100% during last year, especially the time when GBP pairs were trading in a very risky period.
The pavilion had more than 20% gain consistently every month but once they reached this year the ROI deflated and also started losing money the minute it is launched.
There is something very fishy on this, I hope #Kelix who invested in Pavilion can share results.

If you see carefully, there were huge losses last year during that period, but it is very likely the track record were doctored to cover up for the original account which was margin called.
The inflated balances introduction had lowered the shown DD, but the actual DD last year was 80-100%. This may not be 100% accurate but running custom analysis on myfxbook always see much visible DD compared to what's shown. Can go back in time to study the analysis of their trade history.

Point 2 - Would appreciate if past investors can tell exactly which date which trading product was launched and effectively ready for investment. Sometimes, fake managed companies will keep jerking up ROIs until there are sufficient AUMs, then they start making it less ROI or trade real, as they want to accumulate more funds first onto a trading product.

• Timing of each product exactly launched
• The timing of each past product exactly de-listed ( old programs such as In 2014 Nordhill (has name Sfx-funds) promote PremiumFx, Mirrorfx strategies. After big losses strategies removed. When Gorilla, Hyper, Hybrid have losses in 2016, strategies changed.)
  

Disclaimer: I have run a hypothesis based on the likelihood of real ROI returns, the real rate of return when launched to public and likelihood the period of time the investment is available or ready to run at real compared to plotted period.
This hypothesis doesn't show a 30% fee cut after HWM months achieved, it's just for illustration purpose. If anyone wants a more thorough analysis, one has to show which period they joined and the actual ROI.
This is to give an analytical view of how their trading program was doing. As a nordhillcapital investor, if you invest on other trading product other than godlike " hawk ", you are very likely to lose money over time. Money is safer on godlike product " hawk ".

Question to all previous investors: The exact date anyone can join.

• Shark
• Crystal
• Hawk
• Pavilion
• Sparrow
• Owl
• Rich

This would have shown that the other trading products which may be real after introduction are not doing farely well, most are below HWM or clients are still in losses unless they join after the fall and if the product do retrace back up.

Food for thoughts.

The purpose of this analysis is to indicate that, only hawk is " ok " to be invested but is it real? That bags the question.
Yet the broker is in SVG which meant they can plot results, and also explained why they can give 100-1000% Roi track record but the minute it started running LIVE, it doesn't have similar trading behavior as compared to prior, this is very misleading and make people think this is a very good ROI plan but end up the actual is the opposite.

Hi guys, i've been an investor since 2015. So far i am very happy with NH capital's services. My account manager has been proactively helping me to switch between strategies thereby, able to minimize my risk and maximize my investment.

One question that i asked myself when i took up their service. If they are a scam, why would they work with multiple brokers running on the same strategy? Also, to attract investors, they can easily create consistent profit for all strategies, why make losses?

FYI, i have made over 200% ROI and have also diversify to another broker managed by them as well. My friend who introduced NH Capital to me joined in 2014 (total of 3 years track record). For those who are interested maybe you can pm me your email, i'd be happy to share your my trading record.

It could be a partial scam.
Regulated brokerages like Hantec are OK, those tradings are real, but most of those strategies are not profitable.
So investors prefer to switch and invest into Hawk instead, but we don't know if Hawk is real, because of the weak regulator.

Also, to attract investors, they can easily create consistent profit for all strategies, why make losses?

The might have easely created consistend (not verifiable) profits before going public,
and after that, they startet with (verifiable) losses.

Go ahead we'd like to see your 3 years track record,
You can link here your SFX-Markets-broker (if this is your broker) to Myfxbook, but only on weekends

@Peter1124 About your posts #302 #305

These are some very informative posts.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
FCA-regulated Darwinex looks interesting.


By the way, did anyone notice that SFX-Markets moved from St.Vincent to Vanuatu overnight?
15000km (9000 miles) from one little Atlantic island to another little island in the Pacific.
Just like that, with no anouncement from SFX.

Other than hawk, a few other strategies are doing just fine too. I don't know why you are tunnel vision on hawk strategy. Are you an investor? If you are, maybe you can consider changing account manager or talk to the right person to help you properly manage your account? If you're not an investor, i think you are being a bit bias in your evaluation.

The might have easely created consistend (not verifiable) profits before going public,
and after that, they startet with (verifiable) losses.

Let me share what i was told by the account manager when they introduce new strategies. Most of the strategies are first being tested by Nordhill Team before introducing to us investors. However as Nordhill total clients fund is huge, there could be liquidity issue which cause failure to run the strategy. On top of that, the trader will face a different stress level handling Nordhill huge fund as compared to maybe a 100K or 200K private account.

Go ahead we'd like to see your 3 years track record,
You can link here your SFX-Markets-broker (if this is your broker) to Myfxbook, but only on weekends

I don't feel safe to share my personal investment performance in public and I'm not seeking to promote the investment here. I'm just sharing my thought and experience as an investor.
If you are really interested with my 3 years result, can you share me your email here?

Peter & AUM108 - I don't quite understand why you guys are always attacking these aggressive managed forex programs at offshore brokerages.
There is a market for this and it's relatively narrow / specific.

The offshore brokers provide these types of programs, the leverage, bonuses etc that the UK/US brokers etc cannot.

If you don't like these types of programs, then simply invest in the low-return / self-trading with low leverage approach you'll get from the big players in the industry that I've worked with closely over my career.

But demanding all kinds of statements, office addresses, and brokerage qualifications from the aggressive funds is just silly. Of course: it's risky to invest in anything producing over 20% a year.

Hi FmrBrokerExecutive,

I am not attacking, I am raising awareness from the recent pitfalls and scams, these are just part of due diligence for investors and traders to consider. It will be another nightmare if SFX does fall within a year, you know how many old people and average people who have little or no experience invested here?

1 - Security of Funds & Regulations
2 - Track Records - offshore brokers are fabricating them if they are not fabricating. Please run side by side with another independent broker fund(proper license) $1-10K, it's that simple. If they can manage an AUMs of more than 40M as they claimed on their website, then shouldn't they increase investor's confidence as well.

And noted on

Also, I stated that Hybrid, Shark, and Hawk were profitable from their so called inceptions. But Hawk is absolutely questionable, because once Hyper, Gorilla gone to archive. Hawk was there to salvage, and if you guys were " diligent enough ", Hawk's trading strategy was actually imported from their older strategies - and every professional traders out there will know you don't change a system overnight.

Huge discrepancies between September 2016, look at their trading records and pairs? Duration and so on.
Why after September 2016, it's only USDCAD and all trades under 1 hour exactly. No one in the world can change their strategy over night.

You are selling Apple to people with its track record from Inceptions to September 2016, then after that 1 single day when your strategy is available to the public you started selling Pears and said Pear has this track record which was actually plotted and imported because offshore can do that, it's that simple!

Veteran traders know how this market works, things don't change overnight.

And it's so weird that a brokerage from SVG can suddenly go to Vanuatu overnight. You know say for instance lets say tickmill as a regulated broker in UK, cannot just anyhow import their clients to another entity although the same brand, to another country and regulation because it is an entirely separate entity and regulation. Even when HotForex moved to SVG for Asia clients, they did send out notice, announcement and agreement forms.

This is clearly AML if SVG entity sends funds directly to another entity in Vanuatu. This is years of experience in the banking industry.

If they can do that, it's clearly their account is not segregated and what makes you think 100% of client's monies in the account and not wash overseas like JJPTR?

Thanks, can start by clarifyng some of the existing questions in this thread, ie how can we know that the trades in Hawk Strategy are real considering that it is only exclusive with SFX, considering that nordhill and sfx can come be from the same party, how can we know that the trades are genuine? why other strategies like Sparrow, Owl, etc with many months of profitable months suddenly turn into loss when they are made available for public? Thank you
