Elite Global Trading reviews and complaints

What went down at Elite Global Trading was sketchy from day one. I will break down my report into the two areas these people need to be exposed in. The first includes ripping off investors and the second includes ripping off employees/interns.

Ripping off investors:

When I started the place was called "Recon Trader Corporation". Within a few weeks of starting I became aware of a the business name change that was under way. They told everyone who was not part of the top 4 (Fred Smilek, James Putra, Anthony Rousseau, Ryan Ferderer) that the reason for the name change was simply because an investor wanted a different name. In hindsight it was because the name "Recon Trader Corporation" came up on [redacted]s essentially making it impossible to get new investors to give them money.

The investors that did go in for a "demo" of the system were told a bunch of lies. The investors were told that the "proprietary trading system" was inspired by NASA, air force cockpits, and traffic lanes on Interstate-95. In reality, their "proprietary trading system" is made up of technical indicators that can be found on the internet. For instance, if you Google John Elhers you will find indicators like the "inverse fisher transform" that Elite Global Trading ripped off from him and now call their own.

Elite Global Trading claim that they can use their "proprietary system" to generate revenue trading in the foreign exchange markets. There is one major flaw with this claim, THEY CANNOT TRADE TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. Fred Smilek, James Putra, Anthony Rousseau, Ryan Ferderer had no trade logs showing profitable trading operations. If you are an investor and do not believe this report simply ask them to give you a year of trade logs (in a timely manner of course) to prove their profitability. They wont be able to produce it.

To continue their operations Fred Smilek, James Putra, Anthony Rousseau, Ryan Ferderer continuously look for new investors to give them money. They tell the investors that they are going to be bought out in the near future by a large financial institution and that their "proprietary system" is easily worth $500 million. Apparently they have been saying this for a while. I don't know if it will ever come to fruition but I do know that when I was there they didn't not generate any revenue from trading. The only way they are still around is by getting new investors to give them money.

Ripping off interns:

Fred Smilek, James Putra, Anthony Rousseau, Ryan Ferderer claim to have a 3 month UNPAID internship program that puts you on the fast track to becoming a part of their "team". In reality, since they do not generate revenue and must keep their costs down, the program is just to get free labor from people like myself who would do anything for an opportunity.

Fred Smilek, James Putra, Anthony Rousseau, Ryan Ferderer make you get them coffee, clean their dishes, get their laundry, and help them move from a penthouse on ft lauderdale beach to a multimillion dollar rental house in lighthouse point. Meanwhile they pay you nothing and make you work insane hours. I was told as unpaid intern that I needed to be in the office around 5 am and did not leave some nights until 8 or 9 pm. One time I was there until 2 am, almost working a full 24 hours UNPAID.

Elite Global Trading told us that we were making the sacrifice that was need to prove we were dependable and trustworthy. They told us that we would be broken off once they sell their trading system. They made promises that we would all get rich together and that all the hard work we were putting in was not for nothing.

Whether you are an investors or a potential intern, please save your time and money and stay far away from these people. Check out this site dedicated to bring down these cronies www.thetruthaboutrecontrader.com.

Fred Smilek, James Putra, Anthony Rousseau, Ryan Ferderer and Elite Global Trading is just a get rich quick ponzi scheme.

Elite Global Trading is a SCAM
DO NOT WORK FOR ELITE GLOBAL TRADING IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA !

I worked for Elite Global Trading as Financial Forex Analyst intern. I signed a contract saying that I would work for three months for free as an intern. It turned out to be a one year internship as a Financial Forex Analyst. It said in the contract that if I was a good worker, they would hire me after a year. They made me work as a dog. They're working hours are 8:00am to 6:00pm with no pay. I slogged around for nearly ten hours a day. I never worked so hard in my life. I worked hard because I was expecting that they would hire me. However, I quickly learned that Elite Global Trading was taking advantage of people. I learned that they had 50 or so interns in thier five years of business. There were only two employees when I got there. I quickly learned that the employees were paid less than a couple of thousand dollars a year. They were working more than twelve hours a day at some time. They worked like dogs and were cheated. I learned that they classify people as independant contractors and pay them whenever they want. They offer them a contract for the lowest pay possible. Some months they never got paid. I feel sorry because theses people were working 12 hourd days at one point. ONE EMPLOYEE RECIEVED $500 A YEAR FROME ELITE GLOBAL TRADING WORKING 10 HOURS A DAY FOR A YEAR. I found out that all the employees quit because they are getting paid less than a couple of thousand dollars a year.

I FEEL SHOCKED AT HOW GREEDY THE EMPLOYEES OF ELITE GLOBAL TRADING ARE.
THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INNOCENT PEOPLE, MAKING THEM WORK LIKE SLAVES FOR LITERALLY NOTHING.!

DO NOT APPLY TO ELITE GLOBAL TRADING IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA!
THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!
