    Astro fx - a detailed review

    in General Discussion

    Just like many other traders, I have spent countless hours searching 'Forex trading' on YouTube and watching the many videos posted by the numerous Forex trading YouTube channels. At first, each trading channel seems to share a generous amount of free content that seems vital for successful trading. With time, you learn that most of these channels and trading educators are not really traders and have no proof of their trading experience. This makes you soon become sceptical of every Forex educator. Suddenly it feels like everyone is out to make a quick buck.


    My reviews are here to help. In my opinion, my reviews are non-biased and highlight the good and the bad of each trading educator and what they have to offer. More importantly, they highlight areas of concern.


    I am not here to brand anyone a scam. I just want to highlight the concerns of some educators and help you make a better educated guess when choosing who to learn from. Perhaps some of these educators will read these reviews and make appropriate changes to resolve concerns and areas of doubt.


     

    Astro FX


    Astro FX have a large YouTube and social media following. The founders of the company are Aman and Shaun, both self-proclaimed Forex traders. Their website is crisp and their content is very professional.


    Aman and Shaun get a lot of negative feedback on how the company markets itself - sports cars, bling, etc. Although this is not the marketing image I would choose, marketing should have no reflection on the service an educators provides and how genuine they are.


    Applaud #1 - Reviews


    They have a lot of positive reviews and claim to be one of the most booked Forex educators. I have to say, there is a lot of positive feedback about their courses and the boy's themselves.


    See:


    They travel the world providing courses. They are definitely in demand.


    Applaud #2 - Course Content


    A lot of their students are very happy with the courses they take. This is evident on other trading forums and review sites. Obviously, there will always be negative reviews and unhappy customers. The majority seem very pleased with the service they receive from Astro FX.

    Concern #1 - Results


    The number 1 concern for most trading educators is trading results/past performance. Myfxbook and Forex Factory make it easier for a trader to link his or her trading account and have their results publicly verified in a matter of minutes. Just like most trading educators, Astro FX does not provide any track record of their ability to trade. This should always be a concern. Either they don't trade, they are not successful in trading or they are not as successful as they claim to be. Astro FX, where are your results?


    Apparently, the boy's did have a verified account with myfxbook but it blew. They then claimed that this account was just to show what was possible when trading Forex? Not sure about that.


    Their current verified account shows a crazy performance for 3 months in 2018 and then nothing...


    Their myfxbook profile can be viewed here:


    Concern #2 - Profitable traders


    So Shaun and Aman use to refer to themselves as Forex traders but now refer to themselves as trading analysts. This might be a bit picky but why learn from an analyst if you want to become a trader? Also, why the title change?


    Their trading analyst titles can be seen on this page:


    Summary


    If you are looking to learn the basics of Forex and technical analysis, then Astro FX are a possible consideration. If you are looking to actually become a profitable Forex trader, I suggest you look elsewhere. Though, their analysis and trades they share do receive a lot of positive feedback.


    Please keep in mind that these are my thoughts and research only. Please leave your experience below. The more people share, the more useful this thread will be to others.

    Oklahoma State did not have an ideal season opener against Missouri State. The Cowboys were favored by well over 30 points, even after it was announced quarterback Spencer Sanders would miss the game in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols. There were plenty of things that went wrong against Missouri State. Here are three things I would like to see from Oklahoma State in a week two home game against Tulsa.1. A Complete Football GameThe catastrophic ending helped Oklahoma State fans to forget that the Cowboys once led Missouri State 20-0. An L.D. Brown touchdown run with 10:57 remaining in the 2nd quarter gave Oklahoma State the 20-point advantage, and it was all downhill from there. Missouri State connected on three field goals in the 2nd and 3rd quarters to cut the lead to 20-9 before an Alex Hale field goal gave Oklahoma State a 23-9 lead with 13:05 remaining in the game. It was the Cowboys' first score in almost two entire quarters. Jason Shelley connected with Tyrone Scott for a touchdown with 3:06 remaining in the game to cut the OSU lead to 23-16 . The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by OSU and recovered by Missouri State on the OSU 16 yard-line. The Cowboy defense really stepped up in the last three minutes, preventing Missouri State from tying the game on two separate occasions. At least Oklahoma State looked good for the first quarter and change, right? This week OSU desperately needs to put together a complete game. The defense played a complete game for the most part and saved the day at the end of the game. The offense struggled mightily after the 1st quarter. Mix in some questionable decisions from the coaching staff and OSU put together the kind of game that results in a one-score win over a team like Missouri State.Spencer Sanders appears to be out of the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but the starter for the game against Tulsa still has not been announced. If Sanders isn't ready to go, Illingworth and the OSU offense will have to play much better. I know Tulsa lost to UC Davis in week one, but that's even more reason not to take the Golden Hurricanes lightly. 2. Better Play from the Offensive LineThe offensive line didn't look good against Missouri State last Saturday . There's really no other way to put it. The rushing numbers say a lot about the offensive line's performance. OSU had 28 carries for 54 yards and two scores. That's just 1.92 yards per carry. Brown finished with just 30 yards on 15 carries. Only one sack was allowed, but the push-up front has to be better, especially on running plays. The running backs also have to be better. Dezmon Jackson carried the ball three times for 14 yards and Jaylen Warren carried the ball six times for nine yards. The offensive line deserves a lot of credit when those guys play well and the quarterback isn't sacked or hurried. It often goes unnoticed when the offensive line plays well because everything runs how it should. When the offensive line doesn't play well though, it shows. The offense can't operate how it wants to. Then Mike Gundy is forced to throw the ball twice and save Missouri State two of its timeouts late in the game because he doesn't trust the ground game to pick up the first down. That decision is a different conversation though.3. Spencer SandersThere was plenty of discourse about Spencer Sanders throughout last season. At times he played really well. Other times he made bad decisions that, at times, cost OSU opportunities to win football games. It was an issue he had throughout his first full season as OSU's starting quarterback in 2019. The coaching staff raved about how much progress Sanders made as a quarterback this spring after not getting a proper spring to prepare before the 2020 season. I, for one, am excited to see this progress. I don't think Shane Illingworth deserves a whole ton of blame for what happened against Missouri State. My only major complaint was his decision to throw into double coverage too often. Oklahoma State fans shouldn't forget that Saturday's start was just the third of Illingworth's career . On the other hand, he did captain an offense that only managed 23 points on Missouri State. Illingworth has the potential to be a great college quarterback, but he needs consistent reps to get there. OSU fans would be wise to remember that when Sanders makes mistakes this season because it will happen. The only touchdown passes Clemson, quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei threw last weekend was to the defense, albeit, a great Georgia defense. Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman hopeful Spencer Rattler looked rusty and inaccurate at times against Tulane. North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell cost his team a chance to win, throwing three interceptions against Virginia Tech. All three of those teams make for more formidable opponents than Missouri State, but I say all of that to try and put Illingworth's performance in perspective, especially given his inexperience. With all of that said, I will take Spencer Sanders as QB1 for every game remaining on OSU's 2021 schedule. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and out of the COVID-19 protocols.
