I started with what they called a foundation bot, i put £900 into this in total, this was originally sold as their safe core bot and for a couple of months it made a small profit, but then the market got choppy and the safe bot turned to martingale trading bot and surprise surprise it blew most of the account, I was told on many occasions don't worry this has happened before we have protection in place, it won't lose, its never lost a month since it started lol, then giving them the benefit of the doubt and stupidity on my part, they showed me another bot with 4 years history, the overdrive bot. It traded audcad, lots of history and I was desperate to make the money back i had lost, I put £1000 into this, for 2 months it made about £500 so I was happy i was getting back the money i lost, then once again the market got choppy and I was told dont worry our bot can handle it. These guys have jokes, yesterday I got a margin call from vt markets telling me to add funds or close down all trades. So again another blown account. Thats £1700 down, i mangaged to get a little back, then i was offered another bot thats even better, all i would have to do is add another £1000, haha, yes ok let me add more money for you guys to just destroy another trading account, ive learnt my lesson don't use D.O.T trading, that is unless you want to lose all your money. Its a scam, and a company that has no idea how to trade. You have been warned, these guys are useless. Go to the casino you have more chance of winning something. Don't not use their services under any circumstances.
If you want to lose all your money sign up. google say's also below, Based on information from the Financial Conduct Authority, D.O.T. Trading (Don't Overthink Trading / @dontoverthinktrading) is not authorized to provide financial services in the UK. Dealing with them means you will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS I lost thousands so don't be conned like so many of us on D.O.T..
Started with £1000 account four months ago now down to £230 slowly but surely loses money overtime so I wouldn’t bother some losses are wildly massive with very small wins I should imagine in another month the count will be totally blown. The people that are saying they’re making thousands are probably plants if you’re still interested ask for verified account of the people making money but my advice is don’t bother
Before depositing any funds with this company, please consider the following summary of my experience over an eight-week period. I initially deposited £450 and received an additional £450 broker credit, giving a total trading equity of £900. The figures below do not account for the weekly profit-share deductions, which further reduced the effective balance. Weekly Trading Summary • Week 1 (w/e 07/12/25): £38 profit / £0 loss • Week 2 (w/e 14/12/25): £74 profit / £36 loss • Week 3 (w/e 21/12/25): £58 profit / £3 loss • Week 4 (w/e 28/12/25): £28 profit / £25 loss (Shortened trading week due to Christmas holiday) • Week 5 (w/e 04/01/26): £64 profit / £38 loss (Shortened trading week due to New Year holiday) • Week 6 (w/e 11/01/26): £86 profit / £90 loss • Week 7 (w/e 18/01/26): £81 profit / £132 loss (Several long-running losing trades were auto-closed) • Week 8 (w/e 25/01/26): £86 profit / £202 loss (Two extremely high-risk XAUUSD trades, placed for one minute at excessive lot sizes, resulted in losses of £30 and £52) • Week 9 (w/e 01/02/25): £8 profit / £782 loss (Account closed by margin call after multiple long-running trades closed simultaneously. The underlying forex positions continued to move against the trades by a further ~40 pips, meaning any additional funds deposited would likely also have been lost.) Concerns With Trading Strategy and Risk Management:- Clients are told that advanced software and well-defined strategies are used, with appropriate risk management. Based on my experience, this does not reflect reality. Trade execution appeared illogical and inconsistent. Sell positions were regularly opened while currency pairs were clearly in bullish trends. In some cases, additional sell trades were placed at increasing lot sizes while earlier sell positions were already incurring significant losses, giving the impression of recovery-style or desperation trading rather than structured risk control. Despite prolonged volatility in AUDCAD, the system continued to trade this pair instead of switching to less volatile instruments or adjusting strategies accordingly. This further amplified losses. Misleading Marketing and Client Communications:- The company’s main Telegram channel frequently displays large client profits. However: • I have seen identical profit screenshots reused on different days. • Some “daily profit” images appear selectively cropped to exclude losing trades. • Small profitable trades are highlighted while other trades remain open at substantial losses. When concerns are raised, negative Trustpilot reviews are often dismissed with explanations such as “clients are greedy” or “they should have withdrawn profits sooner.” These responses ignore key structural issues such as The 100% credit bonus is withdrawn if any funds are taken out. Therefore to maintain the same equity level, a client must generate three times their initial deposit before making a withdrawal. This significantly limits flexibility and increases exposure to risk. Blaming clients for not withdrawing profits diverts attention from the fact that accounts are being actively managed on their behalf, for which the company takes a profit-share. Poor account management cannot reasonably be attributed to client behaviour. Final Thoughts:- If you are considering trading forex or CFDs, I strongly recommend retaining control of your own funds. Invest time in research and education and trade independently. While you may still incur losses, you will at least be in control of your risk — and you won’t be sharing profits with a service that does not adequately protect your capital.
All trading strategies totally blown. A financial loss of nearly 10k so a big hit. Please do not be fooled by these people and I am sure they will be invested and brought to justice
Total scam from £1700.00 to £1.25 total scammers should be in jail
Don't put your money in D.O.T my accounts been blown 4 times now in the last 6-8 months, not worth it.!!!!
If it’s not a scam they are just incompetent. They have lost my investment in 2 months. They look like they operate trades with no stop loss, worst day they lost £800 of my 1000. Just avoid and save your money. I don’t believe this is even AI and don’t have a FCA license to operate in the UK.
Can i give less than one star , or a minus star, now the account has lost even the free 1000 pounds , its almost like they dont know what they are doing , DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY, no matter what they say they earn off your initial investment, and then ignore the results, and the telegram channel is complete nonsense
Do not put your money into this. They’ve just blown my account on a number of bad trades. I saw the account going down so raised this with support. I was told there was built in risk management which would prevent the account being blown and I should keep the trades open over the weekend. Then on Sunday I got a notification saying it was all gone. I contacted support angain and they blamed the market, no apology, no acceptance of responsibility. Don’t fall for their marketing, there’s a reason the FCA are on these guys backs.
Not a good experience , The overall service is set up to incur a loss . Please avoid if you can
Avoid at all. I've started with them nearly a year ago(£500), march 2025, first week 15% loss but recovered in around 3 months. After a while i've decided to add another 500 because was some steady gains(all this time, the set-up been changed couple of times, from initial EUUSD to GOLD and Ger50), but from October 2025 the bot been losing trade after trade until 60% down. Everything which was gained in 8 months, was lost in 2 weeks. The emergency solution was to move to "overdrive" set-up for steady and secure gains, but surprise, already took 10-15% lose. Plus, over the summer time, i've let myself fooled and put 2k into the "gold" bot, second day that was blown up 🙄 All this time, only excuses and how great their software is. So take care where you put your money, plenty hyena out there.
I have been with DOT for a few months now. I only have £69.80 left on my balance. Nearly all my money has been lost in a hand full of trades with 2 of their software programs. I have been part of the Foundation and Overdrive software (the ones which were less risky). Thank God I didn’t go with the more riskier ones….I would have been cleared out in a few weeks. I don’t believe what is noted on Telegram groups as it does not match what I have seen on my trading account. Be ready to loose money…..you have been warned.
Whatever they trade it will all be lost very fast. They advertise on their channel how they made an amazing 10% but they forgot to say the previous day they lost 80%. They lost all my account on their main platform and I have only £130 left out of £800 on accelerator which is a joke but apparently they got a “real” trader. I will keep reviewing them every week now for everyone to know what kind of liars they are
One thing I truly value is DOT’s communication. They keep clients informed, answer questions quickly, and never disappear. My profits have been consistent, the platform runs smoothly, and withdrawals are reliable. That level of professionalism is rare in trading services.
At first, I was skeptical about automated trading, but DOT completely changed my mindset. The robot trades logically, without emotion, and that really shows in the consistency. I’ve already withdrawn profits more than once, and the process was clear and fast every time. Very professional service overall.
Further to my previous negative experience proving this was total scam , I had to submit my ID and to be VERIFIED! Do Provide proper email address for complaint and I can send all evidence ! If I could attach pictures here I would !
I’ve been using D.O.T. Trading for around six months now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The AI robot trades with a level of consistency I never managed on my own. What I appreciate most is how hands-off it is—no stress, no second-guessing. I just check my account and see steady progress. Anytime I’ve had a question, the support team responded quickly and clearly. It’s reassuring to know there’s real people behind the system. Overall, it’s been a smooth and profitable experience.
This review is based of their “Scaler” platform. Personally, they are only really good for the overdrive which they admit. The profits on overdrive are small and consistent which is good and frankly should be the only thing they should advertise. Scaler on the other hand is managed by an active trader and whom ever he is, isn’t good at all. Within a week I have had straight looses, typically you don’t expect to get wins all the time that’s understandable but if you’re trading XAUUSD you should be able to manage the risk quite well given that I have been with a few traders you will see some wins and looses but to trade and get 20 losses in a role is REALLY BAD!!! I had to pull my money out and move it to another copier so right my ship. So for those considering them. Go look at their performance compared to other copy traders and judge it yourself. A win rate of 30% will bleed your investment dry before you know what hit you
D.O.T isn’t what it says it is they do make out they take insane risks blown my account to zero. The positive reviews I’ve seen all the time are clearly fake. When they do make money that day they are sure to take there % it’s far from FREE as they say it is BE WARNED
