Pro Trading University (AJ Capital) Review: The Scam!
Thanks for reading this review of AJ Capital (Pro Trading Unversity).
AJ Capital, aka protradinguniversity.com is peddling snake oil investment systems with incomplete myfxbook results.
The vendor, only known as AJ, is claiming to have successfully turned in profits for the last 10 years.
Additionally, he claims all students who graduated from Pro Trading University are consistently profitable. This guy even proclams that he outperformed top hedge fund managers around the world since 2018.
The website of AJ Capital is a well-oiled marketing machine that sells all the fantasies of trading. It is targetting the financially naive who are looking for a way to make overnight riches.
In fact, Pro Trading University is luring traders and investors using a 2 day free event. Upon completion, students get access to a secret trading system that makes 100% returns in the first month.
To feign legitimacy so that it can look like the real deal, AJ Capital’s website has also posted logos of well-known Forex and brokerage companies, suggesting that these companies are somehow affiliated with Pro Trading University.
In short, the marketing is well-polished and clever! Including it in our list of covetted trading and investing products/services would be an outright lie and total disaster to the trading community.
AJ Capital (Pro Trading University) Review: The marketing bullshit
The company in question is called AJ Capital Management. The owner of this company has a big fat ego.
He would like the financially naive to believe that he is very rich — and that his students buy Maserati with trading profits.
He would like you to know that he owns a money management firm that handles over 8 figure dollars in trading capital.
He also wants you to believe that he became the youngest, highest paid trading consultant at the age of 21.
Also, his website has posted an “exclusive” video interview with a supposed TV girl because this vendor would like to give you the usual rags to riches story — i.e how he started trading, made 70% profits in 20 minutes, wiped several accounts thereafter before meeting success.
We’ve all heard these make-believe stories of supposed trading gurus. This will not be the first time.
The purpose of this marketing is to make people believe that AJ Capital posses a “5 step secret formula” that makes money with zero effort.
This leaves us with a few questions to ask and find answers to.
- Is the owner of Pro Trading University consistently profitable as he claims?
- How did the owner of AJ Capital really make wealth?
- Is he a con artist or a professional swindler?
Evidence in the trading results (AJ Capital myfxbook portfolio)
When looking at the myfxbook performance page for the allegedly successful trading systems of ProTradingUniversity, I found a couple of reasons to be concerned.
First of all, the owner of AJ Capital is a slippery dude. He is not as transparent as I’d like him to be with his trading performance.
I would also like to find out if he actually has proof of his successful trading in the last 10 years as proclaimed on his AJ Capital website.
I feel that there’s no proof of this 10 years of successful investing. So to make up for the questionable gap, the owner of Pro Trading University is giving access to the myfxbook profile of his company with a couple of trading systems to focus on.
The earliest trading systems were posted in mid 2019, and performance figures like drawdown are quite disturbing as we are seeing figures as high as 39%.
That aside, the track record for some of his trading systems have not been verified by myfxbook, although they can still be found in the portfolio of trading systems owned by this vendor.
It also appears that these systems are no longer in use as the vendor’s tracking update is several months behind.
The last straw that broke the camel’s bone would be the inconsistent figures would be the inconsistent figures between gain and absolute gain.
These two figures are always the same in the event that all profits are coming from the market.
In this case, the owner of AJ Capital manipulated his results by consistently adding more money to the respective trading accounts to create the impression that the strategies are profitable in the longterm.
In short, this is a pathetic financial hack. The owner of Pro Trading University is simply a cheat who has perfected the art of lying and swindling his students with trading strategies that do not work.
The Conclusion
At this point in time, we learn that even the most polished trading educator can easily turn out to be the most aggressive but silent investment fraudster.
Nothing in the Pro Trading University’s website proved that this vendor is successful. His myfxbook profile didn’t prove it either.
The only thing that is left for this trecherous trading guru is to create and post marketing videos and stories of his supposed wealth.
He has also done it by creating screenshots of his supposed happy students chatting with him on various social media platforms.
All of these things don’t validate his supposed success.
In the end, many people will fall for this trap and even part with money they didn’t plan to use. Simply stay away from AJ Capital.
PS: If you are the owner of ProTradingUniversity, I invite you for an email conversation to prove that this review is false.

Hi!
I have attended several of his live tradings and the daily profit EA seems profitable, which were your issues with AJ, please? Need to know what he has done to you?

AJ is a con man, he outright lies on his sales webinars about very important financial information needed to be able to run and profit successfully from the EA, his services are also way overpriced too compared to many many others out there, and this is even if he didn’t lie about stuff, given the fact he lies then his prices are just crazy.
Here’s my experience with the SCAMMER I attended his hyped-up Daily Income Profits system EA where he lied so many times. I have downloaded the sales pitch which he calls free training, and I have saved all of his scammy emails of him lying too.
During the sales pitch, he said we can get started with a minimum of $100. All we need is a $100 account to succeed with this. We were even allowed a 7-day license to test it on our account with $100 in it. And bearing in mind this was a standard account, not a cent account. He did not say anything about a cent account until he had my money.
Anyway, I set up the EA on my $100 account and only managed to get 3 days of trading out of the EA before the trial license expired, however, it was still enough for me to see some results and be quite happy with them. I think I made something like $7 in a few days which in terms of trading, 7% in a few days is extremely good.
You only have to do the math to realize what this could return monthly. In the training AJ said on numerous occasions that the safety settings to run the EA, SAFELY, ensuring the account is protected. I must have $100 for every 0.01 lots sizes of risk used, this was stressed plenty of times. Not once did he say it had to be on a cent account. (not until you had paid anyway) The information he gave in his sales pitch, was to set up a normal account and fund it with $100.
The demonstration, the trial license given, and the profits received were all based on the $100 normal account. A cent account would not be able to return anywhere near the same profit, as in my case the profits I saw would not have been $7 on the $100 account it would have actually been only 7 cents for my $100 used on a cent account.
And, the only way of keeping that $100 account safe and able to continue running and profitable is to use it on a cent account, BUT!!!, he did not tell us this until he had the money and you found this out for yourself in the member’s area. If he was upfront and honest about this information like any decent person would have been, I would have not gotten involved with him, would you?
He hyped it up big time and deceived us beginners wanting to learn how to trade into thinking that all it took was a $100 starting account, to return the kind of profits that we had already seen from using his trial license on our $100 accounts.
After logging into the member’s area I then realized that none of what he had shown us made any sense and did not correlate with the training information inside the member’s area. I soon realized when using the risk calculator in the member’s area that the safe setting was not $100 per 0.01 of lot size risk after all, in fact, to keep my account safe I would need $1000 per every 0.01 risk, or I would have to use a cent account, AJ kept this part hidden until he had my money. He is a very dishonest and untrustworthy person indeed.
Cent accounts are mainly used for training and testing things. Using this EA on a cent account to try and be profitable it pointless, the profits are so small I would rather have spent my $1000 sign-up fee on alternative training, by an honest teacher that teaches how to make worthwhile profits instead of pennies on a cent account.
I have no idea why AJ did not explain any of this on the sales pitch like he should have done, my only guess is that he would not have made nearly as many sales as he most probably did by lying to us.
I contacted AJ about this and asked him, why can I not use this on my $100 account like what was sold to me on the webinar he said that eventually the account would be blown as it is too low. YEP, WOW, after he spent a couple of hours lying to me about safe settings being 0.01 for every $100 in my account he then tells me I need a cent account, I knew nothing about cent accounts and asked how they worked, he said don’t worry the returns are the same, which they absolutely are not! SO, I set one up and tested and realized obviously the returns are in no way the same as the profits are not returned in dollars but cents.
The guy is a bare-faced liar and needs to be removed from the internet. He is without a doubt the most untrustworthy person I have come across who sells products online as he is willing to lie to you over and over about the same thing. I have sent so many angry emails to this guy and have even had emails back from support with one saying something along the lines of sometimes AJ maybe say confusing things due to his accent, like seriously!
After it sank into him that I was extremely unhappy with his deceit and dishonesty, he then proceeded to make me an offer, he actually first said something about the support receiving lots and lots of emails from unhappy customers having issues setting something, I can’t quite remember, I do have the email, but what he said was nothing to do with the fact he lied and cheated us, he said it was a different issue, and to make up for it he would like to offer me a $1000 account set up on my behalf where I would keep all the profits and be paid weekly.
He said I will also not even withdraw the profits out of the account but I will pay you out of my own pocket and let the account build up so as to compound the profits. He said that this is a no-brainer kind of deal and that he would trade the account aggressively for me too.
I knew straight away that he had obviously had so much backlash from the false information he sold us on that he had so many refund requests that he had no choice but to do something like this. This way he could keep that $1000 that he cheated out of people all while keeping them quiet with a $1000 trading account set up by him.
I still had to think about this for a while as I was still angry at the fact he had lied so much. I stupidly agreed to this as I thought it maybe had potential. The account was set up I started getting a few weekly payments, $7, $19, $30, then it slowed right down maybe 5 weeks later, another payment, then 2 months later nothing so I sent another email asking what on earth is happening, funnily enough, after I sent my irate email he sent me a payment the very next day, but then nothing it’s now been nearly 4 months and the account is nonexistent.
Since my bad experience with AJ Capital, I have actually learned how to trade manually and I also know of far better and a lot cheaper reliable services than that fraud offers.
I tried hard to get a refund and he tried even harder not to let that happen, hence his phony $1000 trading accounts set up on my behalf.
I have proof of all of his lies and he will be stopped.
I do not know have the guy sleeps at night, absolute SCUMBAG!

Is there anyway I can follow you on any social media? I would like you to put me through on this. I was almost buying the EA from this AJ this year had to think twice and make research cause I’ve been scammed once as well. Will wait feedback from you thanks.

Thanks for this information, I was about paying for the Christmas give away, though I was part of his training class In June 2022, tested the system on my demo and got some good return but couldn’t purchase the license due to the cost. Thanks for exposing him.
Rick
I’m so angry with this piece of s***t AJ scam artist capital. I sure hope he gets what’s coming to him. Like a long time in prison for his fraud and deception. Karam is a bitch and he has lots coming his way, all bad!!

Well my experience so far is that AJ didn’t really emphasize the $1000 minimum required for the 0.01 lot account. I think that’s where the issue is. The EA is actually making 100% success in my experience so far but the profits seems too small to keep the account running considering the fact that one has to get a VPs of about $20 monthly. In my experience for this first month I think the EA has made very little profits but it’s yielding 100% success. Another issue I observed which AJ needs to work on is the EA might miss it’s target and go into some huge loss before finally coming to hit tp maybe after some days. I feel this is a huge problem because it is willing to risk a lot of money to get so little
