Which Trading Group Should You Join? (Simple Breakdown)

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking:

  • Which group should I join first?

  • Should I join all of them?

  • Should I leave one for another?

So I’m going to break this down as simply—and as cost-effectively—as possible.

The goal is to help you save money and keep more capital in your trading account.

Do You Need to Join All 3 Groups?

Short answer: No.

You don’t need to join all three unless:

  • You have the budget

  • You want to accelerate your learning

Joining just one solid group is enough to get started. It really depends on your goals and trading style.

Option 1: RFX Academy (Most Cost-Effective)

One of the most affordable ways to start is through RFX Academy.

By using their preferred broker, PU Prime, and depositing a minimum of $300 USD, you gain access to the group.

👉 Important:

  • The $300 is your trading capital

  • None of that goes to RFX directly

RFX earns through broker rebates, meaning they receive a commission based on trading activity—not your deposit.

What You Get:

  • Access to Telegram signal groups (Gold & BTC)

  • Coverage across New York, Asia, and London sessions

  • Live training sessions and chart analysis

  • A library of pre-recorded educational content

👉 Overall, this is one of the most cost-effective entry points.

Option 2: LionFX Academy ($200/month)

If you prefer not to use a specific broker—or already have one—LionFX is another strong option.

What You Get:

  • Live trading sessions 4–5 times per week (New York session)

  • Weekend chart analysis classes

  • Private Telegram signal group (BTC + XAUUSD)

LionFX is run by Leo, who is also an educator within RFX.

👉 One key advantage:
When you join LionFX, you also gain access to RFX.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • More focus on BTC signals

  • Higher monthly cost ($200)

That said, the amount of live trading and hands-on teaching does justify the price for many traders.

Option 3: 24K Traders Club (~$99/month)

This is currently the most affordable paid option.

24K Traders Club focuses primarily on gold (XAUUSD) signals, with occasional BTC trades.

What You Get:

  • Dedicated signal channel + community chat

  • 2–3 weekly Zoom sessions (analysis + Q&A)

  • Additional lessons (e.g., trendline strategies)

  • Signals throughout the New York and Asia sessions

What Stands Out:

  • Detailed signal explanations

  • Clear entry logic and structure

  • Consistent activity throughout the day

You can use any broker, though they recommend VT Markets (I haven’t personally tested it yet, but I plan to review brokers in the future).

👉 For ~$99/month, it offers strong value for what you’re getting.

My Personal Experience (Important)

I’m currently in all three groups.

But there’s a downside to that:

👉 Conflicting signals

  • One group says buy

  • Another says sell

This can lead to:

  • Confusion

  • Hesitation

  • Poor decision-making

Because of this, I’ve simplified my approach:

  • I mainly focus on 24K Traders Club and LionFX

  • I’ve muted most of the RFX signals (but still attend some live sessions)

If I Had to Choose Only One…

If I had to pick just one group, I would go with:

👉 24K Traders Club

Why?

  • Lower monthly cost

  • Strong signal structure

  • Consistent performance (from my experience)

For $99/month, it’s a reasonable entry point—especially if you’re just starting out.

What About the Others?

That doesn’t mean the others aren’t good:

  • LionFX – Great for live trading and deeper learning (but higher cost)

  • RFX Academy – Very cost-effective if you’re okay with using their broker

Each one has its strengths—it just depends on what you’re looking for.

Important Reminder

👉 No signal group guarantees profit.

  • There will be winning trades

  • There will be losing trades

That’s just part of trading.

Final Thoughts

If you’re just starting out:

  • Don’t overcomplicate things

  • Don’t join too many groups

  • Focus on consistency

Start with one group, learn how it works, and build from there.
