Labour Day Special 1: In-depth Analysis of What is a Forex Capital Pool?

Although WikiFX has been emphasizing to traders to stay away from forex funds pool, some traders who are deeply involved in it are unwilling to listen to the advice, thinking that it is hindering their profit-making. However, truly knowledgeable forex traders will not touch the funds pool because it is like a drug that not only consumes people's wealth but also their rationality and emotions. Today, WikiFX will provide an in-depth analysis of what forex funds pool is, and also advises everyone to stay away from it. This is the best choice for both you as a trader and your family.

What is a forex fund pool？

People who have experience with financial investments are likely to have heard of fund pools, while a forex fund pool is a type of illegal financial fraud disguised as forex investment. It attracts new investors to join the pool and lures them with the promise of high returns, while there are no real investment projects or profit-generating abilities. In other words, the funds of new members are used to subsidize the funds of previous members. When there are not enough new investors joining, the entire fund pool will collapse, and all the funds in the pool will be lost. Although forex fund pools claim to be engaged in forex investments, they have nothing to do with regular forex trading.

Types of Forex Funds Pools

Although forex funds pools are essentially the same, they can take different forms, such as insurance mode, traffic sharing mode, and so on. TR Forex and hiifx, which we mentioned earlier, are typical AB insurance pools, with B pool serving as an insurance pool to absorb funds for compensation. Once this pool encounters problems, it will collapse immediately.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the collapsed and absconded PTFX. PTFX used to be a long-standing funds pool, but eventually collapsed and ran away with funds, causing many traders to seek justice.

The Temptation of Forex Funds Pool

Why do forex Ponzi schemes always have thousands of traders？ What makes traders willingly become lambs to be slaughtered by forex Ponzi schemes？

In fact, it is all due to the high returns and guaranteed principal promoted by forex Ponzi schemes. Traders who choose to join a forex Ponzi scheme can earn a sustained return of over 10% per month even if they do nothing. Faced with this temptation, most traders find it difficult to resist. Additionally, traders who join forex Ponzi schemes often have no practical experience in forex trading, so the schemes will use various gimmicks such as “expert traders,” “auto-copy trading,” and “forex management services” to attract traders.

The Tricks of Forex Funds Pools

In addition to the high returns and expert traders, some forex trading platforms use more deceptive tactics to gain the trust of traders. For example, they may register a company overseas, buy some licenses without actual regulatory authority, and let traders search for them. Some unknowledgeable traders may be more trusting when they see that the platform has licenses and qualifications. Others may even pretend to be licensed foreign traders.

There are many benefits to this approach. Traders can find regulatory information and relax their guard, and also avoid early exposure during the early fundraising period. Early members, in order to recoup their investment as soon as possible, may even ignore any problems with the company and vigorously promote it, because the fraudulent company has already grown and has its own army of supporters. When the fraudulent company is discovered and issues a statement, online debates usually do not favor the victims. This is why some people continue to support a company even after being warned that it is problematic.

The Harms of Forex Funds Pools

If some people are willing to believe in forex investment platforms, even if experts warn them, it is often in vain. These platforms need more novice traders to continue operating, and those already trapped in the scheme will promote it to their friends and family.

To keep the platform running, these fraudulent platforms offer various incentive measures right from the beginning to encourage traders to spontaneously promote the platform. In this way, traders not only receive the promised high returns but also get these referral bonuses. Those driven by greed will brainwash themselves and even their loved ones until the platform takes their money and runs or goes bankrupt.

So why do so many investment scams run away with funds, and yet new investment schemes continue to attract investors？ Its still people being controlled by their own greed. One reason is that the investment scam can indeed make some money in the early stages, and the other reason is greed. Those traders who are aware of the danger of investment scams still crave this effortless way of making money. They crazily develop downlines to keep the scheme running. Some new users taste the sweetness and also want to make a one-time profit, and the number of participants continues to grow. Ultimately, it's all due to a lack of proper understanding of making money.
