All Profit Screenshots? Trader Exposes BlakeStonks' Fake High Win-Rate Illusion

In the age of social media-driven trading, paid signal groups have become the "shortcut" of choice for many beginners. However, collective revelations from community traders have exposed a disturbing phenomenon: some so-called "gurus" are weaving a web of false wealth for their subscribers through highly selective information disclosure.

Recently, discussions surrounding BlakeStonks (and his associated account Bankrollstockz), a signal provider active on X and the Whop platform, have caught the attention of the trading community. Multiple members who paid for subscriptions report that this "paid guidance" model hides a deeply opaque conflict of interest.

The "Selective Amnesia" of Ruined Trades

Members who participated in the group for over a year pointed out that these gurus are often less skilled at trading than they are at "pruning" their trade history. Whenever a trade hits a target—typically a modest 10% to 15% gain—the guru grandstands and updates the group. However, once a trade turns south, those positions seem to vanish from public discussion as if they never existed.

Multiple users confirmed that when market conditions reverse and positions drop by 70% or even hit zero, the guru often closes the trades privately without giving members any alerts. This leaves paid followers stranded at the highs, blindly waiting for an update that will never come, only to watch their principal be devoured by the market.

This behavior is particularly deceptive during bull markets. Experienced traders analyze that these gurus often profit solely through "buy the dip" strategies when prices are rising across the board. Lacking genuine risk management skills, once the market environment shifts, a single ignored losing trade is enough to wipe out all previous micro-profits.

Deleting Comments and the Social Media "Echo Chamber"

Transparency is frequently sacrificed to maintain a public image of high win rates. When members ask about missing losing trades on platforms like X, they aren't met with professional risk explanations, but rather with deleted replies or instant blocks. This "solve the problem by removing the person who asks" approach ensures that new investors searching for information only see a feed full of winning screenshots.

Whistleblowers back-testing this history found that this pattern is no accident; similar opaque operations can be traced back two years. These gurus often operate multiple "sockpuppet" accounts on social media, constantly switching handles to avoid the accumulation of negative reviews. This lack of accountability turns what should be a "guidance service" into a one-way harvest of uninformed investors.

Real Trading is About Managing Losses

As discussions deepen, a clear consensus has emerged: finding a profitable opportunity is not the hard part; the true professional threshold lies in managing losses. Paid signal services exploit a beginner's thirst for "certainty" while masking the most authentic and brutal side of trading.

As seasoned traders put it, rather than paying expensive subscription fees for doctored signals, it is better to invest those funds into basic education and self-journaling. In this noisy industry, a mentor who can honestly face losses and demonstrate risk-control logic is far more respectable than a "shadow expert" who claims never to miss.

BrokersView Reminds You

Never trust a wall of profit screenshots on social media. If a mentor refuses to disclose their real-time, complete trading curve on a third-party platform, their win rate is likely maintained by "deleting losses." Genuine professional guidance must include clear stop-loss levels and exit logic. If your "teacher" goes silent during a market crash, you aren't participating in trading—you are part of a one-way harvest.
