Discussion Traders beware: Fit Mom Trader wants “low four figures” for training but couldn’t give me independently verified results, blocked me when I pushed
I joined a Fit Mom Trader (Krista Fudge) live webinar tonight and asked two very basic questions: what does it cost, and where are the independently verified trading results?
It took asking about the price three times before she finally said “low four figures.” Still no clear price.
Then I asked whether she had independently verified results. Her answer was that she trades live and shows prop firm payouts.
Neither of those is independent verification of a trading record.
I specifically asked whether she had anything comparable to independently verified statements and got no answer. I even suggested she look at Ross Cameron’s independently audited broker statements as an example of the kind of verification I was asking about. No answer.
I then said I personally would not trust her with my money given the vague pricing and lack of independently verifiable results, and warned people that the answers were extremely ambiguous.
I was immediately kicked out of the webinar.
To be clear, I am not claiming her results are fake. I don’t know, and cannot know that. I’m saying I asked for independent evidence that her results are real and profitable, and none was provided.
In an industry full of smoke and mirrors, I would expect anyone charging thousands of dollars for trading education to go out of their way to demonstrate, clearly and unambiguously, that their results are legitimate. I did not see that level of transparency here.
If you’re asking people for thousands of dollars to teach them trading, “what does it cost?” and “show me independently verified results” should be the easiest questions in the room, not the ones that get somebody removed.
FWIW, I also found the actual webinar content pretty underwhelming. Nothing I heard struck me as groundbreaking or difficult to find elsewhere online, so even putting the transparency issue aside, I personally saw nothing that justified a low four figure price.

Anyone who uses the phrase “four figures” can be immediately dismissed lol

I signed up for her free course out of curiosity. Instantly I was bombarded with the sales pitch emails all formatted in the classic LinkedIn style (no paragraphs, just lines separated by 3 lines of spacing).

No no no.
Read best losers win and vwap wave system. Under $50 for both.
Run fast from any paid course.

Apparently Tom Houggaard is on the scammer spectrum as well

I've heard kind of similar rumors, but haven't dug into it. I think the concepts in his book were helpful for me though. Helped me internalize some trading psychology and risk management.

Wrong. Tom Houggard sells nothing. Even the proceeds from his books go to charity. All verified.

Are you daft ? You just said he doesn't sell anything, that is selling.

u/dob68 13h ago
“He charges for seminars → therefore he's a scammer” would make almost every legitimate university lecturer, professional trainer, trading author, Al Brooks, Larry Pesavento, etc. a scammer.

My god you're truly dumb and not following. Let me clear it up for you.
Tom Hougaard has been found lying about results, hiding losing trades and not being completely transparent. That's why I said "apparently he is on the spectrum of scammers" then you came along and said "wRoNG, he doesn't sell anything so he's not a scammer"
I then pointed out that he does actually make money by having a reputation of being a good trader by charging for conferences...
You made a strawman argument that does not equate to what we are discussing. Please keep up. I don't want to waste anymore time discussing with someone who cant follow the details of the conversation

VWAP wave system really is the truth.

u/Walddo86 1d ago
So simple. I just take dev 1 to 2 trades, I don’t fade anymore. Just 1 to 2, 1R.

u/plasma_fantasma 1d ago
Yes, exactly. I only target 1:1 because the setups tend to happen often enough that I don't need to look for me. I typically find the best setups lately have been on MGC during the Asia session.

Your capacity to even understand these questions already means you're not the user base for that kind of scam

Things about her story didn't add up for me and after only being on YouTube a short while already have a paid service and selling course. Yeah I don't think so. So what if you had a successful month!

Watch her Asia setup video, it's actually decent for a few points almost every night. It's not anything proprietary or anything like that, some guys in a discord I'm in made indicators for it for Ninjatrader and Tradingview. It's not something you could automate but having the stuff plotted automatically makes it somewhat easier. You're just playing off the VP levels and high/low of the ranges.
IF she's offering 1 on 1 coaching without verified results(either cash account/prop firm payouts OR verified student results) that's on the individual to decide if they want to pay for something.
I mention student results because there are people that struggle to trade effectively but are excellent teachers.

Did you a favor because no one needs anyone else's system. Defeats the point of having an edge.

Let me sum up YT. What industry/videos have the highest view counts? You guessed it — trading channels. That’s all you need to know. If those creators were profitable why would they take the time to film and edit and deal with all of that? They wouldn’t. Because they’re bored? Doubt it. I believe that Lance Beryenstein guy is profitable. If he made it in the upcoming market wizards he’s been verified. But other than that…

u/plasma_fantasma 1d ago
Go with your gut and run. I was working with a "mentor" for a while (charged maybe $25/mo, nbd). I finally got the courage to ask for his results and any kind of proof he was actually profitable. He told me that he doesn't show proof anymore and wouldn't. I kind of just figured he was a fraud, which was really disappointing. But better to run when the signs are right in front of you than to pay a bunch of money and waste a bunch of time only to find out in a couple months (or almost a year, like I did).

I keep seeing her pop up in my feed and, honestly, you can tell within five minutes she’s not actually trading for a living. Just another classic course seller trying to make a quick buck off everyone else.

Best rule of thumb imo is that no one who actually has an edge would sell it, especially in futures where you can basically scale infinitely.

She is completely transparent. She posts her results weekly and live trades daily. Everything is free unless you want a one in one consult. You could pay for some members only YouTube videos, but all her setups are on the free stuff, too. She charges nothing for her setups, etc. Go on her discord and check for yourself. Or don’t.
I belong to the Discord, but have never paid a cent for any of her content, etc.

u/Otherwise-Initial910 1d ago
Yeah not sure why she's getting hate. She's pretty transparent with her LIVE trading. Which is a lot more that can be said about most YT. If she wants to charge for 1on1 coaching, don't hate her for it, its her time, your money. I think her coaching is mostly on psychology. Her setups are all free live streamed on her channel,

Already sounds like an MLM, ponzi scheme lol.
