1Do they ever post a loss?
Scroll back a month. Count the calls that hit the stop loss. If you only ever see winners, the losers were not posted — every real method loses often.
2What do they call a “win”?
Many channels count a trade as a win as soon as the first target (TP1) is touched, even if the price then falls back to the entry or the stop. Ask: what happened to the rest of the position?
3Profit cards show the best moment
A card with “+150 %” is usually the open profit at 20x leverage at its highest point — a 7 % move. It is not a closed trade, and it hides the cards that were never made.
4Look for “edited”
Telegram marks edited messages. An entry, stop or target changed after the price moved makes the record impossible to check.
5Is the stop beyond liquidation?
At 20x leverage a move of about 5 % against you wipes out an isolated position. If the stop is 7–10 % away, you are liquidated before the stop is ever hit.
6Check 20 calls yourself
Take 20 calls in a row, open each coin's chart at the time of the post, and note what came first: the stop or the first target. Then add it up in “risk units”: a stop is −1, a target at the same distance is +1. This takes one evening and tells you more than any screenshot.
7Ask how they earn money
Paid-group fees and exchange referral links are normal, but they mean the channel earns when you join and trade — whether or not you win. That is a reason to check, not to trust.
