PureTick's performance is a sham and it's head trader, Alex Wasilewski, doesn't even trade live with a real account. Instead he uses a simulator which lets anyone trade in a make believe world with no real money at risk.

It's like playing Monopoly. He charges $300 per month to give trading calls and those calls are made after the price has already moved in his favor, so he always wins while the people in the room lose their money.

These trades cannot be replicated by anyone and as such, the track record on the website is a total fabrication and a useless.

And although Alex is the only one who makes official calls, the track record include trades by other traders in the room.

Also, Alex is foul mouthed and shows not respect for women. He has called me a pig numerous times and made disgusting sexual jokes about me.

He is a complete fraud, liar, misogynist and neo-n**i.
This business is full of conmen and cheats and Alex Wasilewski is on the top of the heap.

If you want to really understand what people think of him, go to Elite Traders Forums and read the posts about PureTick and Alex. Also read Alex's posts to understand how this man treats others with ridicule, disdain and disrespect and profanity.

Hello and Thank you

AUTHOR: Alex - (United States)

POSTED: Thursday, December 24, 2020

I have not looked at this report in over 6 years. I would like to update it. I am Alex Wasilewski. I used to be a part of Puretick.com and MarketDancer.com and the current owner of DOWDADDY.COM

(ANYONE who wants to contact me will receive an explanation of why the other two companies -- had partners. Got rid of them. Could not keep the names). DowDaddy is completely mine.

I want to thank Ripoff Report for trying to help the little guy complain about scam artists.

Wait!!! Am I not a scam artist?

Well, I have had 14,000 customers in the past 14 years. Still in business. Searching through the internet I HAVE HAD ONLY 4 LEGIT COMPLAINTS.

OK everyone, where can I pick up my JD Powers award. American Airlines, General Motors, Volkswagen,

Facebook, and Amazon get probably 4 complaints (and wrongful death lawsuits) probably every day.

Lawyers and doctors get sued.

I have never been sued by anyone. I have sued scam artists like Dean Handley. AND WON.

I have just read some of the people defending me. Sorry not to have thanked you sooner.

I just did not know. Never solicited defenders.

My answer to that one complainer/whiner.

Suedt. Don't you love how the complainers are all fake initials or nicknames?

Am I misogynist? 

Ask the family of the wife I was a caretaker with her MS until her dying day on Christmas in 2001. Bathing, feeding, helping her defecate, brushing her teeth, quitting my job so I did not have to put her in a nursing home.

How did I support myself? BY DAYTRADING. I thank God for daytrading.

Then I helped others learn. Is it easy? 90% fail without my coaching anyway. If I can help some wonderful.

So what about this woman complainer?

First, her brother was a client of mine. HER FREAKING BROTHER. He got a new job so he could no longer be in the room.

WHY WOULD HIS SISTER JOIN MY ROOM IF THE BROTHER DID NOT FIND IT VALUABLE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Please, one person on earth explain that to me.

So she logs in the room and without taking one class (which I tell the world is necessary). You don't watch a training video for a day and enter MMA fighting contests the week later, she loses $400 in a week.

I lost money for 49 months before making money. I did not rip my mentor Linda Raschke because I was an as*hole at first.

So this woman wants her money back.

NO WAY. She can cancel next month but because the flight is bumpy American Airlines don't give no stinking refunds.

So, in my room, SHE CALLS ME AN **FING FRAUD. IN MY ROOM.

I owned a pot-bellied pig named Susie.

So I did not go online, on YELP, report her to the CFTC, but in my room I said "Don't call me a scam artist, Susie Pig."

That was it.

So who told the world that she was called Susie Pig? Ms. Susie Pig herself.

I did not say ALL WOMEN IN THE WORLD ARE PIGS.

Only Susie Pig is Susie Pig, just like South Park calls out Al Gore for "Man Bear Pig."

So here is the deal.

If Susie Pig wants to apologize IN PUBLIC FOR CALLING ME A "***fing scam artist" I will apologize to her, and I will take the $199 off of a one month membership in DowDaddy.com.

No Longer own the business but still should reply!!

AUTHOR: Alex - (United States)

POSTED: Saturday, June 23, 2018

Wow. They still talk about me.

My name is Alex Wasilewski, the original co-founder of Puretick the Market Dancer.

I retired a bit over a year ago so have more time to write and trade privately and with long time friends and clients.

Catch my article just published in Future's Truth magazine.

Amazing that out of all of the complaints about me there are actually more defenders. In a law suit for defamation I filed against a Dean Handley

under deposition it was determined that Handley and his fake minions accounted for 99% of the complaints, referring new clients to his cabal of trading room operators who paid him for endorsements.

Very few people actually complianed about me. Most were fake.

But this Sue DT is a real person.

And has a real complaint. . . . not substantiated but at least she is a real disgruntled person. Yipppeeee. I found one.

After 12 years. Weeeeeeeeee.

Here is my rebuttal to Sue.

Her brother was a client of mine for 3 months. He claimed he made money but not enough to make a living at it. He had a $5,000 account and made $2500 in 3 months. 

I agree. You can't sustain that and have a life. But the % return is pretty good.

Anyway this guy had 2 weeks left on his membership and asked if sister Sue could take the last 2 weeks.

(FALSE COMPLAINT ALERT *******). If I were a scam, loser, liar, fraud why would a brother even tell his sister to join for 1 day?

What say you jurors? Any comment from Dean the mean?

Suzie never traded in her life. I told her to start on a sim.

I will assume she is telling the truth. She lost real money and wanted to quit.

This was the problem. Her two weeks were up. She got renewed because she did not quit. (COMPLAINT ALERT 2 *****). Why did she want to stay beyond a couple of days if I were a rat, dirt bag, neo n**i?

Two weeks into her new month she wanted to quit but wanted the money refunded from the prior two weeks because she did not realize that her brother only had 2 weeks left.

I finally told her I would split the difference, and the woman went ballistic.

She called me a %$#^&, &^#, and *****ing **nt. I may be lots of stuff but I do not have a **nt. After that I labeled her Suzzy Pig.

I admit it.

So here we go. I apologize for the unprofessional come back. 

But now to the track record.

Out of almost 13,000 clients in 12 years in the wild and wolly world of daytrading.

If only Suzy (the pig is gone) and 3 others have complaints DOESN'T THIS qualify me for a J.D. Powers award? The average Catholic priest has more complaints outstanding for %&R*st sake.

One thing I can say. The trading business has made me wealthy. 

I used to get some feedback from non-clients. If you are so good why do you have to charge for advice?

Well finally I must be SO GOOD. Anyone who wants to contact me for trading advice can reach me at my cirrus 312a email account.

Be patient because I still get lots of fan mail.

The real story

AUTHOR: Sarah - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, July 15, 2015

Hello, 

 

My name is Sarah and I started with Puretick 2 months ago. I would like to share my unbiased real story with you.

 

The first day I started in the room, I was really confused and didn't make any money. Offcourse I got angry and upset and my first response was to blame it on the moderator (Alex).What was making me more angry was that while I was not making any money, most of the people in the room were making money on most of the trades and reporting their 10 and 20 poit profits in the room.So offcourse, my first thaught was, it's probably him wrtiting all these comments. but there were too many of them. There was Strech, Calvin, Pasha,Chipper, Sniper, Rocco, Martin, Tuna, Sally, Nise, Lee, Some people who spoke spanish (Les and others) some people from Australia. They weren't only making profit, but also calling the setups that mostly worked, which made me even more angry. So I had two options: 

1- Easy option: Stay angry and stick to my theory: all these people just like lying, they are really loosing money but just like to make comments about their profit. Or maybe it is him posing as 50 people. 

2- Evaluate my first theory and realize that if 50 people are making money most of the days, there is probably a chance I will be able to do so

So I choose the second option. I tried to learn from Alex and was suprised how accomodating and nice he was. I found it really interesting that the original review called him a masogynist. I am a woman and I don't want to be a feminist here, but some the most sucessfull traders in the room are females. Let's start from me. I am a complete newbie and I still don't know when the market opens or closes or just some obvious things about trading. less than a week in the room and I started to pick up how to take Alex calls and have been profitable most of the days. Apart from me, there is Lee, Nise, Sally, and not to mention Sandra who was a student of Alex and runs a sucessful trading room with puretick now. These are all females trading happily in the room and making extra money for their family. He is not only extreemly polite (to everybody, not only females), but also incredibily supportive and patient. He looooooves explaining the setups, over and over again. He will treat every question as a good question. He spend his time after the market closes going over individual bad trading habbits, and gives individual advice, not only that, but he will ask you to send him your trades (if you want) and helps you become a more deciplined trader. 

 

Actually, to be honest, I am not sure if I can be unbiased. I was unbiased when I started in the room, but after all I have learned from Alex, and all the profit I have made in the room, I am very very biased. I think people don't like to take respobsibility for their actions and like to blame their faliur and lack of decipline on another person (the easiest!). If puretick was that bad, why would these many people stay in the room? Why would Alex ask traders if they have been profitable every day? and why the answere to that question is yes for most of the traders? Alex having any thing against women? its the biggest lie and the funniest I have ever heared. 

 

Come on! use your common sense! 

I hope you find this review usefull

Alex Wasilewski is the best trader

AUTHOR: Vicky - ()

POSTED: Friday, October 11, 2013

Alex Wasilewski is the best trader,

PureTick Co-Founder and Head Trader Alex Wasilewski, whose stewardship over the company as well as its YM trading room has resulted in a five-year, 89% success rate, offers some advice for both “newbie” – would-be investors – and seasoned traders alike: trading is about forging ahead, even while losing, to ultimately arrive at one’s own winning formula, even in the midst of a volatile financial environment.

Wasilewski, whose own methodology involves the Trades That Work (TTW) Filter/Trigger system he has honed over many years, understands that trading is not for everyone – and that misconceptions abound.

Given the challenging economic and jobs climate, many people naturally consider what they believe may be short-term fixes to brighten their financial picture, such as a stint with trading: invest what little they still have, in hopes of quickly reaping a reward that will provide a future nest egg or help them “catch up.”

Rather than promote himself as an infallible guru, Wasilewski asserts, “I talk about my losing years. I try to dispel the idea that trading is like a guaranteed lottery win. It’s tough love, like a sports coach or military drill instructor. Clients don’t follow some ‘black box’ technique that I invented, but rather practice on a no-risk simulator. They have to prove they can develop a successful trading plan that produces consistency for themselves.”

Despite this “take-no-prisoners,” hard-core approach, many find Wasilewski not only charismatic, but compassionate, someone who is actually more of a comrade-at-arms and education-focused mentor. Wasilewski credits his pre-trading careers, which include tenures as a New York policeman, a truck driver, bartender and his experience as a pilot who flies his own plane, that has imbued him with a “real world” sensibility and relatability.

“No single profession prepared me for success coaching others to trade. It was the sum total of the disparate careers that helped me develop an understanding of people from all walks of life. I’ve lived many sides of the human experience,” he explains, emphasizing, “I am one of them even as I have grown successful. I have worked with many of varying financial status, yet I see the commonality of my traders—all trying to better themselves.”

PURETICK YM TRADING ROOM provides personal insight to traders with genuine drive and determination. Each day they will hear AUDIO TRADING CALLS and educational commentary. This investment approach allows the investor to take full advantage of changes in the index, without actually buying the individual securities, which make up the index.

Still in business ??

AUTHOR: Mr.Dingus - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 15, 2012

If PureTick was a scam they would have been out of business already.

Looks to me like a cool place to day trade the ES and YM.

Just wish it was not so expensive for newcomers or I would join.

You should check your facts

AUTHOR: Peregrine - (Costa Rica)

POSTED: Thursday, September 30, 2010

I have been a paying member of PureTick for 90 days at this time.


I have followed Alex's calls and I have ABSOLUTELY been able to duplicate his calls and make profitable trades.  I track every one of my personal trades and MY results are:

I have been 80.34% successful on Win/Lose trades and 63.90% profitable with $16,269.40 in total wins (after commissions) and -$5,873.00 in losses for a net profit of $10,396.40 (not counting flat trades).  Do you think I'm quitting soon? NOT!

For Suedt to be so hostile it is obvious to me that she did not pay attention to the training Alex provides and did not watch the videos they provide. If she had, and had learned how to enter trade calls, when to take profits, and where to place stops, she would have made money also.

I see this type of person come and go on their 5 day free trials.  At the end of 5 days they quit and complain that they did not make any money, they lost money, blah blah blah.  Unwilling to put in the time and effort it takes to learn, they just think they can jump in and make a fortune.  There IS a reason that Alex and PureTick recommend that any trader who joins them take ALL trades on a simulator for their first 60 days.  

I cannot address if Alex takes trades live, as I have not seen his trade account statements, but from his results and his comments, he would be a fool not to!  If I could go to Las Vegas and be assured of a nearly 90% win rate, I would mortgage my house to go!!

If you have any doubts about PureTick's veracity, do what I did before I started paying, take their published trade record, open up historical trade data, and examine the trades.  EVERY ONE OF THEM can be verified by the records. EVERY trade could have been executed as documented!!

Don't make a decision on one person's inability to learn.  Do your own homework.

PureTick Response to Report

AUTHOR: Geoffrey - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, April 08, 2009

I'm the co-administrator at PureTick and oversee pretty much every incident. This complaint is invalid and biased. It has been posted from a former member named Susanna. She was in the room a few days and blew out her account. Scanario: We were shorting in to a strong down trend and she kept picking the bottom and going long. This produced huge losses of course. Alex spoke firmly with her (because he cares about our students) and asked why she was fading the calls (thats doing the opposite of). He may of hurt her feelings, I'm not sure, but ever since then she has been posting things like that all over the net. She is a novice trader but I hope she improves and stops blaming others for her failures. We have chat logs of everything on our server. Everything in that post can easily be disproved. We are registered with the NFA, BBB and CME. Alex has been a trader since 1970 and PureTick has over 200 satisfied customers. In fact Alex runs a managed fund at http:/(((Redacted))) where clients sit back while he trades the calls in their account. Since it started up there has only been no losing days (as of 4/7/09). It's highly profitable. There are 0 management fees. He only makes $ if you do! This is not an ad but my point is, if he wasn't a good trader then that whole fund wouldnt exist and he wouldn't make any income. I also personally trade his calls. Perhaps Susanna thought there was 'front running' because she could not obtain the exact fills. Anyone trading knows that market chops up and down constantly.

Have a great day.

Geoff

POSTED: Sunday, March 01, 2009

I do not see any verification for your claims. I am a trader and have used PureTick briefly. Alex tells you when he is trading real money and when he is using paper money. You should document your claims or maybe you are just a jilted friend or someone who does not like Alex for some reason. I will honestly report my own experience here in the future.
