Stay Away from Frauds
The recent revelation of Jacob Canfield’s fraud, the number one trading crypto analyst on TradingView and popular on Twitter as well, was a shocking event for the community.

He has been using Photoshop and using trading signals of someone else in the back-ground to gain popularity; lying about his positions and views in every single online posts of his.
The twitter account of Canfield is now deleted. Hence, it looks like the accusations were true.
Nonetheless, there are many authentic individuals and entities who are sharing their knowledge on trading, the markets and other important trends. And, it is entirely up to them to share their wisdom for free or for a fees. Binance is offering them a way to earn passively by leveraging their community strength.
Still, a trader or investor must always develop his own trading plan or select personal market indicators to execute positions. Blindly following group leaders can often lead to disappointment, as trading is brutal as it is.
