A different market — and a different philosophy.
Investment Mastery, founded by Marcus de Maria, teaches stock-market and cryptocurrency investing: free four-hour masterclasses on Zoom, free e-books (The Lunchtime Trader, The Lunchtime Investor), a members’ club, coaching and paid programmes above it. Its FAQ is refreshingly direct in places — it suggests £2,000 as a sensible starting pot, names a 1:3 risk-reward rule as a “golden rule,” and states plainly that it provides education, not advice. It carries an “excellent” Trustpilot rating and thousands of reviews. It offers no forex courses, so on our keywords it is not really a competitor at all.
The reason it earns a page is the marketing style. “3–6%+ monthly” and “93% success” are large claims — a consistent 4% monthly compounds to over 60% a year, a figure professional funds rarely sustain. We could not find a published raw dataset behind either number. They may have one; if they publish it we will link it here. Until then, this page exists to show the two philosophies side by side and let you pick: advertised percentages, or published workings with risk warnings. The FTC’s 2020 case against Online Trading Academy — built on unsubstantiated earnings claims — is the reason we chose the second and put the caveats on every results page we publish.
