This is not a response to Pieter — it’s a response for Pieter, and for anyone reading this review seeking clarity.
Pieter joined MoneyTribe21 on March 17, 2025, with no prior trading knowledge. He left after three months: discouraged, frustrated, and impatient that he wasn’t making money yet. Understandable, but that reaction reflects a misunderstanding of what this platform is meant to do.
Let’s break it down.
1️⃣ Trading isn’t instant, it’s a professional skill.
Every new trader wants profits. But expecting them in 90 days, without mastering risk, psychology, and structure, is exactly what keeps most traders stuck. MoneyTribe21 doesn’t exist to provide fast profits, it exists to teach people how to trade.
Our curriculum builds traders from the ground up: how markets move, how to plan trades, how to protect capital, and how to hold discipline under pressure. If you came looking for signals or a guaranteed income, this isn’t the right community for you and we say that clearly from Day 1.
2️⃣ Pieter ignored the education path.
He started the Forex Basics course, stopped at Lesson 8, skipped to the TradingView setup (which assumes you already understand market structure and momentum), and then jumped into the Advanced Forex Course meant only for consistent traders. He completed two lessons, then quit.
The results speak for themselves: the program works if you follow it — not if you skip half of it.
3️⃣ On drawdown rules and experiments.
Our experiments and competitions are built with strict evaluation parameters: daily loss limits, max drawdown, small lot sizes, and pressure tests. They replicate prop-firm conditions so traders can learn to handle discipline before risking real capital. They’re not designed to make you lose, they’re designed to make you grow.
4️⃣ “No one is profitable except Justin”?
That’s simply false. Pieter asked this same question inside our community chat, and multiple members responded — sharing their funded account milestones, consistent demo performance, and real progress achieved through months of disciplined work.
He chose not to engage with any of them.
There are hundreds of traders within MoneyTribe21 who are becoming consistently profitable, not because they rushed the process, but because they committed to it. Success in trading isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about showing up, learning properly, and applying what you’re taught.
5️⃣ “No guidance for scalping, just mindset talk.”
Pieter never completed the lessons that actually teach the mechanics of scalping. You can’t expect clarity on a strategy when you’ve skipped the modules that make it work. Yes, we talk about mindset, It’s what destroys most traders — not motivation, not charts, but emotions. Mindset isn’t “fluff”; it’s what keeps your psychology stable so you don’t blow your account.
6️⃣ “I joined another group — made money in Week 1.”
We’re genuinely happy he found a model that fits his expectations. But any platform promising “$5 000 a month by Month 2” earns commissions on your trades, win or lose. That’s a different business model entirely, one built on your activity, not your growth.
7️⃣ “It’s just a subscription model.”
That subscription funds far more than he ever used:
– 20+ hours of structured education
– Daily live Market analysis & weekly Q&A sessions with Justin
– Real-time group chat of 900+ members
– Full access to trading experiments and competitions
– New resources, tracking software, & app development
Every cent goes back into building tools that help traders reach profitability sooner. Without fake funding, or paid signals.
Final words.
Pieter didn’t fail because there was no guidance.
He failed because he didn’t follow it.
He joined.
Skipped the education.
Broke rules.
Expected profits within 90 days.
And blamed the system when it didn’t bend to his timeline.
MoneyTribe21 isn’t built for quick wins.
It’s built for real trading independence.
And we stand behind that — FULLY!
