Scott Morris released a guide that outlines key red flags in questionable online trading content, with due diligence steps for checking reviewer identities, conflicts of interest, performance evidence, and claims made about trading providers.
-- The Oil Money founder Scott Morris has published a new investor guide explaining how to identify potentially fake trading reviews and online misinformation when researching trading educators. Drawing on decades of experience in trading education and financial technology, Morris outlines practical ways investors can assess the credibility of reviewers, question unsupported claims, and conduct their own due diligence.

The guide comes as investors increasingly encounter financial information through online sources, where separating credible guidance from misleading content can be difficult. FINRA research found that 26% of investors use recommendations from social media influencers when making investment decisions, rising to 61% among investors under 35.
Morris' guide encourages investors to distinguish legitimate criticism from content that may lack evidence or transparency. Among the warning signs it identifies are reviewers with no verifiable identity, accusations unsupported by data, undisclosed conflicts of interest, failure to engage with available evidence, and websites whose business model centers heavily on publishing negative reviews.
The guide recommends looking beyond screenshots when assessing trading performance, considering drawdown alongside returns, researching who is behind a review and any potential incentives, and cross-checking claims against multiple independent sources and recognized financial authorities.
The guide also emphasizes examining how a trading provider handles investor capital. Investors can check whether trades are executed through their own segregated brokerage accounts, for example, and establish who maintains custody of the funds before participating in a trading program.
Morris founded The Oil Money more than 20 years ago after identifying a repeatable pattern while analyzing live crude oil charts. What began as a morning trading group around the crude oil open has since developed into a trading education and technology platform spanning education, proprietary trading software and indicators, and automation and algorithmic technology. The Oil Money does not hold participant funds.
For investors researching trading educators or technology providers online, the new guide offers a framework for investigating the source, evidence, incentives, and context behind the reviews they encounter.
