ESNot For Me Well I am sorry to be the Odd One Out here - But unfortunately My experience has definitely NOT been good. When I joined STS I was hoping for the "Holy Grail"and that my search for a profitable trading system and Mentor had finally finished. Whilst the system itself is, as stated, pretty "Simple" There is a lot more to it than that. I did have some winning trades and even winning days, but I did not have any winning weeks and as such my account balance continually dropped week on week. I reached out privately to Ken the Mentor and founder on many occassions but initially got no response at all. Then as things continued to worsen, I reached out again and this time I did get a response asking me to send over my previous weeks trading history so that he could help out. Which I thought was great. I sent everything over and waited, and waited. I messaged multiple times on Telegram - NOTHING I messaged multiple times on DIscord - NOTHING I messaged again on Email to the support guys - NOTHING I continued to do this for over 2 weeks but never got a reply nor heard from them again. Ken was in the groups chatting to people and responding to them but I had kept this all to private chat so as not to shed any negativity in the main groups. Finally I sent them a message to say that I would be leaving the group due to not being able to work the system and the fact that I have been totally ignored. I was immediately booted out of the Discord groups - "For Negative Comments" despite never posting any negative comments in the group. I have since been told that Ken has over 600 people - True He has been busy - True He has been ill - maybe (but I hope not) He had time to chat in the various groups but not time to send a one line message to explain that he is too busy to help me despite being the one to request it. The bits I find the worst are 1) Being ignored repeatedly on 3 different mediums 2) Being kicked out of a group that I have been a paid member of despite making no negative comments in any of the public groups. 3) Not making a profit from the system. For me, this is unprofessional behaviour from a mentor and a company not to mention the fact that the system did not actually work. (For me) All in all I can not personally recommend STS based on my experience but I would not deter you from having a go yourself - You may have better luck than I did and to be fair to STS there are apparently many successful members.

GBProceed with caution I gave 2 stars because I did learn while I was here but if you ask me if it was worth the politics, anxiety or how this group made me feel, it wasn’t. 1.) The owner/teacher struggles with punctuality. Ive been a member since March and could probably count on one hand how many weekly webinars he’s been on time for. And same for paying his affiliates on time. He became sick not long ago and missed an entire week of webinars and providing a list to members (included in membership). It took days before anyone knew what was going on or how to proceed. I believe it was 2 days before a member of his “core team” decided to share with us that he was ill. 2.) He made many promises that went unfulfilled. His new site launched about 4 months after it was intended to. And even then it is far from complete. His affiliates were marketing based off these promises (known to him) and we had to kind of take responsibility as we went for going by what we were told. We were also promised higher commissions once the price of his mentorship rose and we recently found out that that’s not the case. We’d have to meet a requirement of X amount of recruits in order to do so. He’ll pay a higher rate for all referrals once you met the requirement but that was not what we were told all along. He also doesn’t pay like an MLM. He made these plans with his “core team” although we thought we were a part of the core team. It is MUCH better than the previous system and does have useful things available but what I was sold on was not what I got. Nothing for crypto (webinars), prop firm funding, or additional webinars through out the week as promised, but they’re still in the works supposedly. 3.) He had a massive team of people ready and willing to help him get these things implemented and for whatever reason, chose to place more hurdles in between those willing to help and the perks he promised them. Many are taking HUGE steps back if not leaving the company. 4.) He made his affiliates think he had a relationship with him yet has issues responding or getting back to them with how he’d like things done and were left to figure it out or wait until he or his “core team” respond. I asked him once what got him into Forex and when and this was his response. It didn’t answer either of my questions and was clearly a copy/paste response: “ So it really just came with time AND repetition. I didn’t have anyone to teach me this style like the group does. So I had to find what worked and stick to it, every single time following the exact same rules. That way it became like a habit, it allows me to make tiny little changes over time to improve my trading as I gain more experience. I still add little things here and there but they are tiny and tested over and over I also had a lot of capital when I started trading, so I didn’t build any bad habits trading a small account, trying to “get rich” or hit it big. It’s always been % based and that makes it easy for me to stay calm Practicing on a demo account for 2-3 months with positive results. Knowing you did it the same way over and over makes it easy to flip over to a live account and duplicate it 🏆” 5.) Support requests go unfulfilled for weeks at a time. We have a billion chat channels to communicate with but god forbid you ask something that no one but him or his team know the answers to, you’ll be redirected to send an email to a place we’re told he only checks (possibly) once per month. 6.) we used to have access to all previously recorded webinars 100+, and now, in the migration if you weren’t a part of the previous system, you cannot access but maybe 12 of them total. 7.) There are always technical issues with his tools causing lags or your terminal to totally freeze. These things are generally fixed mid week while people are trading really interrupting their process. Another reason I was less apt to use them. I also wanted to learn for myself how to trade properly because I’ve been burned by previous “mentorships/academies” Again, I did learn a lot with this group, however I personally feel there is tons of info missing from the education offered. You’re encouraged mostly to rely on the tools provided (which are not necessary for his strategies). Things like indicators or his levels/structures. He’ll teach you some of what he does if you ask on a webinar but it’s my belief, he omits important info needed to implement it the exact same way as I’ve found things necessary in other places that he hasn’t shared with the team (while I’ve been a part). I wish I’d left when I realized I wasn’t really learning any more with this group. There are many more things I could share that are more so implied but may not really affect the majority of regular members and would most likely be talked down or discredited because I cannot show proof. I would recommend if you decide to join, that you do so with caution, take what you need and go.

GBBest one stop shop for learning Forex!!!… Joining STS has taken my trading game to a whole new level... I’m no longer intimidated by a chart because I know exactly what I’m looking for and all because of the training STS provides and an outstanding mentor in Ken Baggett with a support crew committed to your success. If you’re really serious about learning to trade Forex, then STS is the BEST place for you!!!

GBSTS is the best in the Forex game Ken and his STS system is by far the best I have ever found. His mentorship program is top notch and loaded with so much value. The weekly webinars, the interactive educational system, his custom built indicators and the STS discussion groups are unlike anything out there. I personally feel that he could charge whatever he wanted and it would still not be enough. If you really want to learn how to trade and have great success at it, STS is the place you want to be! Thanks Ken for what you do and for literally changing people’s lives with your expertise and your mentor ship.

NLWhy I left STS After being a member for a long time, i was getting more and more confused about his approach of trading. If a system is good and profitable, i understand you can try to find ways to make it better, but by releasing system after system all with a different approach of trading, i am getting more and more the feeling that i did end up at a marketeer instead of a trader willing to share his knowledge. Also i was getting to the point of sharing more knowledge then gaining and still paying contribution. that was for the me the trigger to follow my own path away from STS.
