"Will I make money?" is a test
2 / 9
It's less about your answer
and more about where you stop.
"Yes" is the easy reply. If they lose money, that one word is what they remember first.
💡 Hold a clear line and people stop discounting what you say

Line 1: Don't promise

🚫
No "you'll make money", "you won't lose", "you'll win it back".
It sounds like you're guaranteeing their result

FX guarantees neither profit nor principal.
Losses happen
✅ Explain how it works. Don't speak for how it turns out

Don't answer "what should I buy?".

Individual promoters are generally not covered
