Dispelling A Trading Myth...
Trading and Investing is NOT all about Lambos, private jets and Trading from a beach in Paradise! This is unethical marketing nonsense.
Real traders don’t do that. It’s all about learning the markets properly and consistently improving your trading results from it as and when opportunities arise, in a calm and calculated manner.
You’ll eventually become a master of managing risk and it will fundamentally improve every other aspect of your life.
why trading?
Why Learn to Trade & Invest?
It’s the ultimate financial life-skill to develop in order to attain and remain affluent.
If your goal is to attain Financial Independence or even Financial Freedom, then you absolutely have to avoid doing and thinking in the same way as the masses. If you follow mainstream thinking and advice, then you’ll stay part of the 99% of the population who are not Financially Independent.
Therefore, it’s imperative you learn some essential financial life-skills; Trading and Investing. A skill that the general population avoid and do not possess. As a result of this lack of understanding, they fear it.
Take The Realistic Trader Wherever You Go!
Our Website, Portal, Discord and Telegram channels work across all devices, so we’re always with you wherever you are!
What do people really think about us?
We know our students love what we do because they tell us…
Highly recommended!
I completed Siam Kidd’s Trading Diploma over a year, and while pregnant, I spent another year demo trading—gaining hands-on experience and increasing my capital by 5%. Siam explains concepts clearly, cutting through jargon and making the learning process thoroughly enjoyable.

One of the most exciting parts? My little one even closed some of my trades! It’s inspired me to continue learning and eventually teach my children about trading. This course has given me both confidence and a solid foundation for the future. Highly recommended!

Excellent, high integrity training
Everything I have experienced has been excellent. The quality of the training, communication and expertise available with The Realistic Trader is something I’d highly recommend. RT also has a great community of people who want to succeed and help each other.

Siam is genuine and knowledgeable – not just about crypto and trading – but also about the wider macro economic factors that influence crypto, finance and business.

The Realistic Trader…… you tried the rest now go to the Best
I have been with The Realistic Trader since 2020. I have tried a few other currency trading mentors. What is different about Siam and his team, there is no upsell. You pay the fee and everything is included.
Read More
Siam actually cares about everyone’s success. He is honest and well never hold back any information. His team are extremely helpful.
The Realistic Trading community is filled with like minded individuals who help one another. There are the quarterly meet up with are so helpful. Also if you get a chance go on the skiing or summer holiday. There are also the weekly Siam updates. Siam also has a telegram channel where he puts all his trades real time.
After trying some of the others first you definitely appreciate Siams methodology.

Not a big fish by any means possible
Not a big fish by any means possible. However I’ve been been really happy with the honest information and help I’ve recieved so far. Straight forward and down to earth with a twist of insane knowledge.

Fantastic Resource
I’ve followed Siam for a number of years now and finally decided to bite the bullet and join The RT about a month ago.

I’ve been involved in a few crypto discord groups, some free and some paid, and I have to say that so far I have found it incredibly refreshing. Siam posts regularly with his views as well as trades, this isn’t a constant barrage of ‘pat on the back’ look how much money I’ve made for the community chat which happens A LOT on other services. – Likewise the other members within the group are respectful and understanding for those at different stages/ experience within crypto and within in trading.
This aside there’s also a plethora of learning material on the members portal on the website which is hugely helpful. Additionally there are weekly video calls with Siam where he spends a good 2.5 hours with the group.
I think like anything you get out what you put in. If you are serious about learning and progressing then it takes time and money.
So far I have been delighted with the format and look forward to progressing with the team.

Yes, i am very new to crypto. I am in the US and find it difficult to buy and trade.
I am very new to crypto. So far the experience has been well. I have taken other courses and feel this is the most informative, lots of information.
Alfredo Bosquez
Thorough and Realistic, and enjoyable…
I think it’s very strange that there are people who say RT is a scam. There is tons of quality education and community lives. It seems like some people try to find something to be offended about, but personally I’m not seeing it.

Maybe the expected immediate returns without diving into the content and being patient with the process. Anyways, I think RT is great, and Siam and his crew put in a lot of time and effort to make it an enjoyable place to learn and grow.

Honestly, The best place to learn how to trade properly for yourself NOT FOR SOMEONE SELLING YOU A COURSE
Honestly, This course and access to Siam’s’ community is amazing. No upselling, no hidden fees, no get rich quick BS. This is real, unbiased trading and crypto education for both the long and short term.
Read More
Most of us in the community revolve our week around Siam’s Live Class and trading plays BECAUSE HE’S JUST THAT GOOD.
If you take it seriously and do the work you have all the tools you need to be successful.
Almost every other pay for play course I’ve seen is just a way to MLM you to death or a way to get the teacher rich off your work.
This is a community that is filled with insight and information and asks nothing back but your monthly dues.
IT IS ACTUALLY WHAT IT SAYS IT IS LOL 😉
Which shouldn’t be rare in this world, but it is
Alan Griffin
Informative
This course was very informative, key lessons I took were about the psychology of retail traders and Siam’s trading strategy. More confident in placing trades before I went on the course. Look forward to learning more.

It’s a real red pill.
It’s a real red pill, blue pill thing.
The Realistic Trader course teaches so much more than just Crypto Trading. It is a proper down the rabbit hole journey.
Read or listen to
“Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” to get an idea of what I’m talking about.

Siam is a great teacher covering a wide range of subjects. Like potential future investments in AI, AR, VR and Green Energy to name a few or why the world is so messed up; with a very few super rich; when most people around the world are so poor. Spoiler alert, (the answer is no financial or investing education in schools because THEY don’t want you to know).
At least that is part of the answer.
When Siam places a trade he lets the group know the details of the trade and the thinking behind it.
We also have regular group get togethers which are always a lot of fun.
But it is a learning process and you have to give yourself time and room to make mistakes.
The biggest investment you can make is in yourself.
There is no get rich quick but maybe we can all learn enough to spread the wealth a bit more evenly.
Siam is doing his bit in sharing his vast trading and business knowledge to anyone willing to learn and bringing as many people along with him as he can.
That’s my experience so far.
But it is your choice, your journey.
Red or Blue?

RT Review from a 3 Year Member
I can’t overstate the value I’ve found in joining the Realistic Trader; it’s genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. While my initial motivation was to learn effective trading strategies, my journey with them has led to so much more.
Read More
Not only have I acquired the skills to trade successfully, but my understanding of cryptocurrencies, business dynamics, and global affairs has expanded exponentially. One standout feature of the membership is the engaging Bi-Monthly Meetings (Cudl’s). These sessions, which are open to all members, has become my favorite part of the experience. Connecting and learning alongside diverse individuals who share a common goal of continuous learning and investing has been a true delight.
I must also mention Siam’s exceptional personal character. In all my encounters, I’ve found him to be profoundly honest and genuinely caring about the success of the members. His dedication to helping us achieve our goals is truly commendable.
All in all, I’m immensely grateful for the opportunities and knowledge that the Realistic Trader has provided me. It’s more than just a trading platform; it’s a community that fosters growth and learning that I am proud to be a member of.

Long read – Honest review
This will be a bit of a long read, but should explain why I see positives within the realistic trader.
For those who know me from the community, I’m the ‘tattoo artist guy’ and what I’m going to do here is tell you how I directly applied the knowledge here to my trading as well as my business.

First, the trading. I went on one of siams original online Forex trading courses. When it used to be a one off payment and you completed the modules in turn. This set up the fundamentals for me in regards to training as a complete novice. I went to try a few other companies, a couple of american ones, which failed drastically. After trading as a novice for a while, I decided to get back to Realistic Trader. As crypto then became a way to make huge sums of money, I started getting into this in a big way. I put 10k into OHM, but I was too late into it and like most crypto projects at the time, it was new and untested and I got out at break even. I had holdings in ETH and a few alt coins, which I was simply averaging into each month with £50. Nothing crazy. Now after almost a year, my pot had doubled and I was simply looking at projects Siam made me aware of and decided to buy or not. This was all the risk I was willing to take at the time while I cut my teeth on the market as it moves faster than Forex does.
It is useful to know, that I have moved back to forex as my job consumes a lot of my time and I simply can’t keep pace with crypto unless its a major project. I used ALL of the online stuff to help me make a strategy that I have automated into a Bot that now trades for me day to day while I am busy Tattooing people. This bot is now in its 4th version and has taken 7 years of trial and error to build. I have made lots and lost lots. As with anything, it takes years to master this skill. Which is exactly as Siam says. So to underline what I am saying here, the bot now makes me money every day of every month monday to friday for Forex, where, without siams training, I would simply be lost. In another 3 to 4 years, I will be able to Tattoo as a hobby thanks to this.
The next thing to note, is that the WAP (wealth action plan) siams business training platform.
I have used this info with regards to taxes, staff and driving customers to my business to great success. I went from having a studio with no artists bar myself to a studio with 5 staff, each making 3k per month to START. That’s insane. Using the ideas to streamline training protocols and get my staff turnover down. This stuff is gold dust. On top of this, I have also successfully opened a franchise of my studio. Again, the ideas come from Siam and his courses.
For those of you who want to see my studio and how busy we all are, please feel free to check us out;

Sorry, I cant post links on a review, but a google search will bring them up.
At the time of writing this, I am currently working on a new bot with another member from RT to help with a little extra play money based on a new strategy. Everything evolves in the markets and so should I be to keep up. Nothing is ever one and done. All of this training should be viewed as such and folks should hold themselves accountable for bad decisions on trades etc. I certainly cannot keep up with Siams trading, because I work 14 hour days, but he has directly had a hand through training, to let me automate a bot that does it for me.
If you are looking for a turnkey way to make money, go buy a subway or MacDonalds. If you want to learn a life skill of trading and learning to adapt, then this is where it can be found.
Siam is never going to be everyones cup of tea, but who is? Learn what you can, apply it and get on with it.
Hope this helps

A brilliant team with educational content
A brilliant group offering great advice. Unlike other traders, Siam doesn’t sell the ‘buy a Lamborghini model’ other similar organisations push.
I would highly recommend this to anyone learning to trade and want a comprehensive guide.
Jack Southwell
Honest and genuine
I was a member for approx 15 months and in that time I have learned so much. The portal is still available to me to visit and use for life and I do regularly use it still.

Its great to go back over some of the lessons to continually top my learning back up. Siam is a genuine person, who really cares about your success. I have been trading for around 15 years and not very successfully.
Finally I now have enough knowledge to go it alone and I am making consistent gains on a weekly basis. Best trading team I have ever joined and there has been a few lol. I will probably jump back in some time soon,
Regards Chris Mills.

Just get a taster (starter modules), don’t get my word for it.
I know Siam for more than a few years already.
He is here to help people understand the basics of trading and going all the way to being profitable. His strategies are simple and easy to use.
Read More
You have to use your common sense and have a great money management and trading psychology. And this is thought in RT courses. Just check for yourself, don’t trust me: get the taster course (it was around £100 for the first modules) and see if his style fits onto yours.
Also, the amount of research he does is over any expectations and you can see that even on his youtube videos.
Thanks Siam and the team.

A great trader that actually cares
I’m truly lucky to have stumbled across Siam and the RT community. Having tried many other trading courses I can say Siam is the best – the nicest, most knowledgeable and most ethical.
Read More
The course is packed full of video demos and explanations and there are regular Telegram updates about the markets and the moves Siam is making. Siam is a unique person in the space- honest, transparent and a well rounded person without an ego or hinden agenda. He’s also a great teacher that actually cares about us students.
The weekly trading pubs are very useful. I particularly love the way he imparts knowledge through diagrams. He regularly goes the extra mile to explain things that are off topic but still important.
I also value the regular CUDLs (meet-ups) and having the chance to meet people and have an intense day of learning.
My one issue is the fact that they use Discord as the platform to communicate in. I find it a bit too chaotic for conversing and learning compared to say Facebook or Slack but then again I understand why they made the move from Facebook too.
With all that said I wish I had found him much sooner. I definitely can’t imagine navigating another bull or bear market without his expert guidance.

Sign up to the RT Community, it’s the best present you can give yourself!
Great course content thus far. The RT admin and Avengers are always on hand for support and advice (which I have needed at times) and are incredibly knowledgeable.

Siam always explains his tutorials in a way that is understandable, you can pause the video’s to make notes as you go along and watch them as many times as you feel necessary.
If you want honesty, integrity and insight i would highly recommend joining the RT Community.

Finally
I wish I could be back in time when I’ve started pay for so called trading courses. Lots of money and time lost. Finally I’ve found a TRUE trading course here. Not even a month in and already knowing loads more. Real information based on real experience.
