WWA Trading New Year Update

First of all, Happy new year fam! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday period with loved
ones and took a well-deserved break and most importantly, took some time to reflect on
2020: which is what I want to do with you all right now.

2020 was a phenomenal year. From a perspective of personal growth, character

development, trading refinements and for being blessed to be able to create this magical
community and meet so many incredible likeminded people.
For those who have known us since the beginning, you’ll have seen our whole journey,
especially my OG students from the pre-WWA days. After trading consistently 1:10-1:20RR
trades, I probably sounded like a madman back in 2019 by declaring to everyone that, with
new refinements, I will hit a 1:50 RR trade (something that’d I’d never seen really done in the
online space before, at least not consistently).
And early 2020 I did exactly that and documented it to the public: being my buys on
GBPNZD. A few months later I did a full candle by candle play and documentation to the
public for my first 1:100 trade which was USDJPY sells. And since then myself, Alex and
Waly have documented dozens of such trades to the point where a 1:50RR became normal,
which is outrageous when you think about it. But most importantly in the last few months,
the majority of you have done the same, catching insane intraday and swing trades, an
incredible feat!

In the midst of it all, engrossed in progress, motivation and momentum I never took a
moment to sit back and reflect on what we have achieved, which has certainly been industry
changing. A year ago people couldn’t even comprehend a 1:20RR trade, even for those well
versed in SMC or Wyckoff theory. Now we’re all in a thriving community, something that
is not an inconsequential matter.
We have over 50 FTMO funded traders amongst us, in my DMs I’ve received a plenitude
of messages of you guys taking some very respectable withdrawals from funded or
personal accounts and a couple of you becoming full time traders this year. Not only that,
plenty of you messaging us of noteworthy returns on small/demo account which is a key
component in your journey. As I always say, “Analyst before Trader”, and I couldn’t be
more proud because I know with time, that’ll transition into something substantial.
When some of you reach out and tell me you’ve been able to pay of family debt or “change
my family’s life”, there is no better feeling. Unfortunately this may not be immediately
apparent as most prefer to be private in these achievements and I’ve noticed a lot of the
funded traders or traders doing well are very silent on discord and a few choosing to not even
join here, but overall we can see the strength that we have in here just from the daily
interactions and chart work over the last 6 months.

pg. 1
 The power of our community over the last 6 months has really been on show. We, as
a whole, have developed into a priceless asset which I’m sure, at times, we’ve all been at awe
of. What you have been doing on a daily basis for months on end in the Winning Trades
Section, where the average day was easily 200-500% between all of the trades you guys
sent in consistently is nothing short of remarkable. We are unique in this industry, as a
collective, the level of competence and in depth understanding we have and execution of elite
trades is unmatched. That is a complete testament to your hard work and dedication. And
thanks to you guys, this discord is now is an unparalleled resource of hundreds of high
quality trades which we can all backtest and learn from.
For a community of just 6 bootcamps and not even a year old, the progression and growth
we’ve had has surpassed all my expectations and for that I’m deeply appreciative.

I’m a firm believer in the saying, “when it rains, it pours”. Good times pass and so do
the bad times, and in trading all bull runs need a retracement. For us that was the spiral of
December. Catalysed by the betrayal of one of our students to leak our material. So let’s talk
about it:
I do want to start off with an apology. Especially to the November students as you guys
only had a few weeks of normality before the chaos ensued and therefore didn’t get a true
representation of what we’re about. And to the rest of you too, with the constant negativity
and our silence, I know it’s been a tough time. But there are reasons for this which I’ll touch
upon now.

As per my last announcement, I discussed briefly an update and what we were up to

and planning and I also explained the personal issues we were facing. My intention being to
do a formal video announcement explaining all. After I sent the last message, a lot of the
issues we were facing only heightened. Even though we identified the main leakers, there
were still some people within the discord with negative intentions and some sort of personal
vendetta against us with the only objective being to conspire against us, spreading
speculational hate to the public.
Before that Alex made an announcement that he’ll be opening up his DMs to everyone to
take on any constructive criticism, feedback and ideas on how to improve, and we did
implement a lot of the main ones like more PDFs or separate pair sections in discord etc. But
the comments in December weren’t expressed to us when we opened up and requested
feedback of constructive criticism, these were just attacks and speculation.
We started to get multiple hacks of our computers and online accounts, IG accounts being
spammed with bots and a series of unacceptable online bullying incidents. What you have to
realise is, were normal people. We’re not born with thicker skin or immune to feeling the
effects of online hate. Yes we can handle some jokes and banter and yes we know they’re just
online trolls with nothing better to do. But when people are attacking us, trying to portray us

pg. 2
as sexual predators or exposing my parents’ home address etc, it’s totally uncalled for. My
mum is by no means tech savvy, she was just searching our YouTube and on google and even
she came across multiple websites with her home address posted and she was mortified and
didn’t feel safe in her own home!
Therefore, for the above reasons we remained silent for fear of further abuse and attack and
the reason I didn’t make a video. Because I knew the few that were conspiring against us
would crop it and take things out of context to make us look bad. A due cooling off period
was in order. Moreover there were still a lot things that we were working on behind the
scenes that were obviously slowed due to the holiday period. So we couldn’t return until
those steps had progressed.

This episode has taught me a lot. WWA grew so fast, beyond our expectations and we
became bigger than the infrastructure we had in place. To the point where without us
realising we were a full scale academy and people watching our every move.
Initially we didn’t even have a discord and it was just us in a telegram group chat just
chatting away with students, hanging out and talking charts and making jokes as we got to
know one another. When things are small scale like that, we could build personal
relationships with students. There was that underlying level of understanding and respect
amongst one another.
As that chat grew in numbers, we decided just for organisation sake, we’d transition onto
discord. We never had the goal of creating this platform and online community and the
powerful resource that it is today, it simply came to be as we grew. As new students came in
and people started to engage more, texting wasn’t an efficient mode of communication so we
naturally started to host community zoom calls for free. This was never mentioned before
as something we’d do, rather something that organically formed.
And as it was something we just did when our schedules permitted, sometimes it’d be 2-3
calls a week and at other times none. And that was completely fine as it was always a value
add, the Bootcamp being what people joined for and what we charged for.

As the months passed and the discord became more prominent, people starting to
thrive and results starting to show, of course this spurred us on to do more. After all, seeing
our refinements put into practice and being replicated by so many and people crushing it
daily is wonderful. So of course we started to engage more too, birthing the “Educators’
Charts” Section, where we’d send in markups of trades we were taking or breakdowns of
trades we had taken. Some of you may question our motives all day long but this in our eyes
was all done be out of kindness. We took pride in you guys and seeing you all win was our
goal.

pg. 3
The more we put in, the more we saw you guys grow and genuinely that was our goal- to
be the best community out there with the best traders. At this point between us, we were
doing zoom calls weekly at a minimum and sending in charts or updates almost daily, purely
to help you. That’s the point of a “community” after all, because together we can accomplish
so much and I saw you guys as friends, all with the same mindset, ambitions and goals.

Fast forward to October and we were really starting to see the community thrive and
progress was exponential. It was a daily occurrence to see a 1:50+ student trade, student lead
zoom calls, continuous chart discussion- everything we had dreamed of. Remember, we
saw you guys as our tribe, our gang and we all wanted to crush it together. Community
morale was high, people motivating each other, picking each other up, selflessly sending in
PDFs to help on another, truly beautiful.
I’ll be honest, I felt like I was growing too off the community. When I saw someone take a
dope trade that I didn’t catch, I’d backtest and learn from it. I’d investigate your chart work
and learn from your perspective. I always used to say this, I didn’t want the community to be
us as “mentors” and you as “students”. I would much rather an equal basis where we were all
helping each other level up. And that’s exactly how things were and I loved it.

That’s why that month we took the decision to not hold a Bootcamp. Some of you
like to assume things about us or portray us as something we’re not. And maybe that’s our
fault for not getting to know you better. Our demand was super high and Bootcamps were
selling out monthly. If revenue was our only goal, we’d double up on Bootcamps, not
take a month off to focus on the community.
I’m sure you’ll all remember, that’s exactly what we did. We hired Eunus and Amar to
become WWA educators as they had demonstrated very high level of understanding in the
markets and many of you we’re benefitting from their contributions. Between them and
myself, Alex and Waly, we held 12 community calls that month, each one lasting 2-3 hours…
for free. That month there were more hours of free value in a month than the Bootcamp
itself.
Why? Because we were seeing the community flourish and progress was insane and we
wanted to make sure we were doing our best to help. That too was actually the idea behind
why we decided to announce back in late October that we won’t hold a December
Bootcamp, because we wanted to take more time to give back and focus on the community
levelling up.
Some of you may throw this back in our face or twist this somehow but that’s the truth. We
sacrificed revenue, a lot of hours of our time, consistently to sit and answer questions, go
over charts and create PDFs, simply for your benefit… again, for free. Calls weren’t brief or
rushed or done for the sake of it. It was done to the best of our abilities, to benefit you all.
pg. 4
There was a direct correlation between our input and student progression. Isn’t that what we
all wanted? There’s no conspiracy or hidden agenda, we simply wanted us to be the best
community in the whole industry.

Now here comes the somber part. With a community of 600 people, of all ages,
nationalities, beliefs, political opinions etc it was naive to expect everyone to be on the same
page. We opened up the general chat with the idea of you all developing friendships and your
inner circle to grow together and socialise. But at times this frenzied into heated discussions
about politics or different opinions and people being passionate about their views started to
get offensive. We had people mocking, bashing, swearing or racially abusing each other. So
all we could do was make an announcement to say this isn’t acceptable and that the discord
should be used for conversations pertaining to trading. When it persisted we did have to
remove a few members to keep the peace in the community. Nonetheless, these were a few
isolated incidents and overall community spirit and growth was high so we moved on.
Recently, the admin team has also had to remove a few other members for creating PayPal/
bank disputes about not receiving the Bootcamp etc months after they attended the Bootcamp
and plenty of community calls. Considering Discord has never included or been advertised
with any commitment of a fixed quantity of chart work or community calls from us, as we did
it for free, these refund claims we’re in our eyes complete disrespect. People using the
turmoil of the leak, when we shut down for safety and asked for patience and time during this
hardship, people trying to pull a fast one and get a refund after getting full value of the
Bootcamp was not ok.
PayPal and Stripe has always judged in our favour after our admin team submitted proof of
attendance but of course those 10 or so individuals have been removed as they do not
represent the type of people we want in our community. Again out of 600 people, the actions
of not even 5% are not representative which is a good thing.

When the leak happened peoples true colours showed. There were those of you
messaging us with support and help and showing loyalty. Obviously with such a breach we
needed time to process it and create a plan of action. We’ve had a bunch of meeting with
dozens of companies, be it from cyber security, smart biometrics or KYC firms. These things
take time and we had to explore options with each of these companies. As aforementioned in
my previous statement, we were working a lot behind the scenes to bounce back stronger.
An update on that front is, we’re having a new platform for us custom built with extra
security and some very cool features. As it is a custom build to our requirements, of course it
takes time and money. The latest date they have given us is the first week of February.
On the other hand, others didn’t have the most productive approach and it felt like we were
being kicked when down, to the point where I didn’t even feel welcome in my own
community. Whenever I did hop on, I saw hurls of abuse, conspiracies, rumours and
speculation and overall drama bringing overall negativity to the community, whilst we were
asking for patience as there was a viral breach going on.

pg. 5
 As I alluded to previously, it reached boiling point for us. We put our heart and
souls into our work, made the Bootcamp the best it could be, prepared over the months
hundreds of case studies, hours of preparation and hosting calls and creating PDFs. I’m sure
all of you can agree that we over delivered compared to what you signed up for and went
above and beyond what was required. Some calls we did we showed you weekly and monthly
pair case studies, going play by play on all possible wins and losses and showing how insane
returns are very attainable. We’ve literally given multiple live calls and even signals on
calls or educator charts, justified entry and SL based on our teachings and executed it too
on multiple occasions of 1:50+ trades. And I know none of you are taking 50+ losses back to
back to negate that so we knew we were certainly adding value.
To then see the backlash and abuse from a few, it was very disheartening. Alongside the leak,
the online bullying, trolls in our DMs and various hacks and threats, we genuinely thought
to ourselves that we will end WWA. We really got to see the dark side of the internet and
how people can be behind keyboards and even certain comments in the community. After all
our commitment and effort for months, it all seemed not worth it and spat back in our faces.
It was taxing for the three of us for our mental health, added with a lot of stressors that we
can’t even talk about publically regarding the fund, but I have explained it to some of our
closer students and my OG students (I will make an update on a future call with that situation,
but briefly put we got railroaded and are down approx. £100,000 for the whole project with
nothing to show for it, through no fault of our own. Currently our lawyers are drafting up
documents for us to solve that problem).

We sat and were watching everything we built with passion fall in front of us because
of the actions of the minority. And for our own sanity we were thinking to leave it all. That’s
why we went ghost. And I don’t think anyone is entitled to make us feel guilty for taking
a break when we were being attacked and breached, especially after the work ethic we put in
for months. It was the holiday period, markets are always slower this time of year and we
needed time to process.
We rationalised, spoke to advisors and students close to us and when our emotions settled we
decided that the vision, the empire and student progress already was too large and too
powerful to walk away from. We had 6 amazing months and 1 month of a setback. Setbacks
in any aspect of life is to be expected. For how far, we as a community, have come in less
than a year just shows our potential.

However, with such a large community it’s to be expected that not everyone will be
on the same page. The reality is, the actions of a few can ruin a great thing. Despite all our
efforts, there was a leak. With our security measures in place, we were able to identify the
parties involved swiftly and passed the case to our lawyers. They were fully briefed and we

pg. 6
followed their suggestions and guidance. All legal proceeding were planned by them,
including the plan of action and the numbers you saw (a professional opinion which they
deemed justified and defendable in court, not our ego’s).
A little update is that we have had a letter of admission of guilt from the lawyer of the leaker
(with the caveat that it’ “without prejudice”). Our lawyers are following their plan to be sure
justice is served so we can make an example out of him to ensure that this can never happen
again. This isn’t a money grab and the legal system is very tough to navigate, and the reality
is that there will most likely be a settlement before it gets anywhere close to court. This is
more so to make a statement that actions have repercussions, especially when a legally
binding NDA is signed. The damage is done but this is more to prevent it happening again.
Do we feel guilty for following this up legally? Absolutely not. I’m sure any one of you
would also want justice for what is a crime, if you were in our shoes. Just because it’s
happened to many other educators before or its “just online stuff”, doesn’t excuse it.
Our refinements represent countless hours of chart work and backtesting to formulate the
WWA model. Yes SMC exists and you can learn it elsewhere. Yes Wyckoff theory exists and
you can learn it elsewhere. Yes people teach structure elsewhere and have some
understanding of the lower timeframes. Some have been doing it for years and most of you
actually had some previous experience with it. But without fail, everyone learned something
from WWA.
Why? Because there are certain things which we created and are unique to us, the
Refined IFC, BB or some of our LTF refinements to name a few. And overall the
amalgamation of everything into a strategy where there is a “if this, then that” approach for
areas of doubt and the ability to refine to just 2 POIs, therefore only allowing for 2 losses
before a trade idea is invalidated. This model and format we teach is therefore unique as we
created the refinements of existing theories.
That’s why the results we have in here aren’t like other communities, including those who
know SMC. Because we had a different approach, application and refinements of the same
concepts, to therefore lead to drastically different results. Of course we were hurt to see all
our hard work going viral online. But there was no scam here… we shared online the types
of trades we and our students can take and the bootcamp was to teach that. And that
exactly what we have done, all of you having taken value from it.
Your decision to join was out of free will from us showing what the WWA model is capable
of. And without fail every bootcamp, those that put in work go on to hit incredible trades that
they couldn’t have done so before WWA, we did what we set out to do and that value
shouldn’t be taken for granted. Being able to catch multiple 1:10-1:50+ intraday trades per
week from our teachings is no small feat and I think some of you have forgotten the power of
the skillset we have.

Overall however, it is what it is at this point where the damage of the breach has been
done. “Those who endure the most pain come out on top”. Setbacks were to be expected and
honestly, this was inevitable. But our vision means too much and there is so much

pg. 7
remaining unrealised potential that we have to bounce back stronger. So this is the plan
moving forward:

We have removed the people who were in breach of the NDA and a few others for
their actions mentioned earlier so the discord is now safer. Therefore we will be opening
back up the restricted sections so you can all get back to accessing the material and get
back to thriving as you were before the incident. (Please realise the closure was only a safety
precaution for damage control as that content was also being breached).
Between now and early February, which is when we are expecting our custom built platform
to be ready to host community calls, we will be in a “transition period”. We will hold a few
community calls and get back to normal chart work posts but calls won’t be back to full
effect until our platform is ready. This is obviously a safety precaution.
After the transitioning period, we will start to implement some new features and a bit of a
community revamp over the coming months, with things a little more structures and
organised with clear routes of progression.
Once the new platform is ready, there will be a new on boarding process for you all to
remain within the community. This will include an automated KYC and document check, a
revised NDA and a new “expectation sheet” which you will all need to read and agree to, to
continue to have access to this free resource.

Next I want to talk about us taking back ownership of our discord. This platform isn’t
an online forum or something that anyone has the right to. This has always been a free
resource and a value add for students as previously explained in detail. Nobody is
paying to be here. I want to really emphasise that as there no debate there. You may have
your opinion but that is the fact of the matter. It has been made abundantly clear to all of you
that what you paid for is the 4 day Bootcamp and 2 follow up calls, which you have all
received. If you guys want it to be strictly a business transaction than that has been fulfilled.
For those of you who want to flourish and continue to grow and benefit from the countless
advantages of the community, you are all more than welcome to! But it will be on our
terms. This is our WWA discord and we want to make that crystal clear.

In the past we have made many announcements or comments about community

guidelines and rules but they do get lost in the feed so I want to formally write it here again
so there is no confusion. These are rules you all must follow. As a result of the effects of
what we’ve seen when things spiral and how certain people have been to one another, there
will be a zero tolerance policy without debate, at our discretion, to maintain the values
of our community. If we don’t like your conduct or behaviour, we retain the full right to
remove anyone as this is our free community.

pg. 8
WWA Community Discord Rules
We would like to reiterate that this discord and the community platform we run for you is a
free service we like to give our students to help everyone grow together. As you all know
included in your paid Bootcamp is the 4 day event and 2 follow up calls; but we have gone
above and beyond that providing for the community. Some of you have enjoyed over 100
hours of extra calls and countless charts and PDFs from us… for free.
Why I am mentioning this point now is to remind everyone, you are not entitled to be in this
discord and have access to its resources, it’s a free value add. Therefore we withhold the right
to remove anyone at our own discretion. These community rules are to be followed by all of
you and if violated you will be removed. Hopefully we don’t have to remove anyone if you
all follow the rules.

- No bullying/offensive behaviour. The discord is a trading platform so general chat and

debate about non related trading topics should be at a complete minimal as that can be done
anywhere else online in forums etc.
- No slander of others or WWA, no mocking or insulting or general rude behaviours. We
expect the upmost respect from all of you and amongst each other. WWA is an educational
academy, and therefore needs to be treated like one.
- No leaking of content as per your NDA, that includes any recording or downloading of
content, even if it’s just for personal use.
- No spam. This includes but not limited to self-promotion or trying to pitch or sell something
or trying to move or relocate people away from the WWA platform for any purpose.
- No sending in or sharing paid material of other people. This includes books, podcasts,
PDFs, videos and courses.
- You will be removed anything we deem misconduct or against the values we want to
withhold within our community. This includes if we feel your intentions or actions are not in
favour of the WWA community.
- Real full names used and pictures of yourself as your Discord display picture.
- If there is any complaint, concern, rumour, accusation, speculation or doubt, this isn’t to be
addressed in the general discord areas. We have instructed our admin team to keep their
Discord DMs open. Therefore any such issue is to be mentioned to them in private and that
can be discussed or rectified. The general discord areas are for trading and anything external
to that, we have a designated outlet for, being the WWA Admin Team DM or email.
With regards to any information regarding leaks, plagiarised material, fake accounts etc it is
of great help when you bring things to our attention. We can’t have eyes all over the internet
and telegram etc so it really helps when you all look out for us and is greatly appreciated.
Any concern is again to be sent in private to the WWA Admin Team on discord or email.
This is to maintain the flow of trading talk on discord.

pg. 9
As of December we also hired an IP team to manage breaches and contain leaks and they will
also have access to the WWA Admin Team DM. They can directly act on any information
you may have sent them by email or DM. To date they have already shut down 30+
Instagram accounts, 5 YouTube videos with infringement, 10+ websites via the DMCA that
were in breach, 4 Telegram groups and 50+ messages and 5 MegaFile links.
Please report anything to WWA Admin Team and raise any issues and concerns with them,
but In general follow the rules and be respectful. We reserve the right to use our own
discretion in any situation. If the rules are followed then there will be no issues and we can
focus on what we love best… Trading!
If you are unfortunately banned from discord in the future, email support@wwatrading.com
for a case review.

Now that all that formal stuff has been taken care of, let’s get back to it! I wish for a very
successful and prosperous year for all of us. I’m sure with continued hard work, we will
achieve the things were hoping to this year. Consistency pays, so let’s get back to the grind
and make 2021 the best one yet. We appreciate all of you fam and your patience in these
tough times.
