DrivingMarkets Avis 

I am sharing my personal experience with Meir Velenski of Driving Markets, connected to Vantage Markets, to warn others about unregulated trading advice.

In November 2024, I was encouraged to deposit £25,000 into a Vantage Markets trading account so that Mr Velenski could trade on my behalf. This account was set up outside UK jurisdiction with a leverage of 1:500, a high-risk setting I was not made aware of beforehand.

From 13 November to 18 November 2024, hundreds of trades were placed on my account by Mr Velenski. I did not place or authorise these trades myself. Within three days, the account balance was entirely depleted.

I was also persuaded by someone identifying themselves as “Marina” to link my account with Mr Velenski’s. I was told this was to get “better rates”, but I now believe it was to facilitate commission payments.

Partial repayments totalling £4,722 were made, described as “profit”, with assurances that the remaining funds were safe and would be repaid in January 2025. This repayment never happened. Instead, I was asked to create invoices totalling £28,000 to submit to his bank, with repeated claims that the bank was “strict” and reluctant to release the funds.

I was also invited to join an “options group” with the promise of a 70% profit on £15,000 within three months, for which the membership fee was £4,000. If I take into account the initial investment and the fee I paid I have never made a profit from this group and I was in it from the start October 2024. After raising concerns I was removed from related WhatsApp groups while losing trades remained open.

I have reported this to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Action Fraud UK, as I believe it involves unauthorised financial advice, trading on my account without informed consent, and breaches of UK financial law.

If you are considering taking investment or trading advice from Meir Velenski, Driving Markets, or anyone connected to Vantage Markets, verify their regulatory status on the FCA register first and be extremely cautious before giving access to your trading account or funds.

Update 13-8-25
I have evidence that contradicts Driving Markets’ (Meir Velenski) public claim that they “do not take control of client trading accounts” or “request login details”
This matter has been reported to the UK FCA (Ref: 211757828) and Action Fraud (Ref: NFRC250807541743) and is being escalated to overseas regulators. Please feel free to contact them and validate my claim.

This is an excellent group to be a part of for people who are looking to understand geo-politics and how does that impact markets both at macro and micro level .
Meir and his team of analyst be it Shawn , Jorne , Jesse and others are incredibly experienced and knowledgeable .
In an era in which everything is so fast paced. Patience is a virtue to have and Meir team has precisely that to explain the details and nuances of both technical and fundamentals of trading and investing in the markets.

Always spot on and in depth market analysis gives one confidence to trade with conviction

Daily Analysis shared, very insightful group. Very good good in fundamentals.

I have been leading 1 on 1 with Meir. A great experience so far. Very informative and back up what he says with evidence. Overall a positive experience.

Very good group, daily online meetings, market discussions, and incredible fundamental and technical knowledge of the hosts. For a very long time, I was looking for real groups; I joined many and lost a lot through them. This group is different; it cares about its members and helps when you need support. At first, I was just watching Meir on Instagram, and I really liked his approach. I decided to give it a try, and I’m not disappointed. I truly recommend it.

The information shared and the knowledge behind it is what produces the results. Fantastic group and top notch analysis from stocks to options.

Best trading group i have ever joined

Best trading group I could have joined! I went from losing money before I joined to becoming a profitable trader who’s making money and reading the directions of the market and seeing the signs. Great advise over zoom and amazing in person workshops as well which are very detailed and helpfull

I have tried many groups signal for years but really need some one to put me in the right direction, Meir and his team are so helpful and friendly. This place is the one if you want to learn and learn fast very interactive and well worth the money and time.

Driving markets is a great place to learn and earn
Meir really does know his stuff and is very generous with his time and knowledge.
His teams around him is also very good!

Fantastic group! Makes investing entertaining as well as financially rewarding. The team is there to help when you need it. Something for all different level of investors in terms of £ and experience.

ive been in driving markets for almost in 2 of their groups for 2 months now, Meir and the team share moving stocks with high potencial, which has been great outcome. also the options group is great to have more exposure to the market. the team is full of dedicated professionals with high market knowledge. also they are teaching me how to do risk management which i believe is the key to a succesful outcome.
happy trading !!

I started following Meir on Instagram shorts which I found interesting.
I had a phone call with him so he could understand my experience with trading. There was no pushy sale pitch and end of the call I wasn't at a stage to start. Few weeks later I got in touch and made a start to following his stock trades.
I don't get much time due to my personal commitments to get on the zoom calls but I watch the recordings and the depth of knowledge of Meir and his team is unbelievable.
Reach out to Meir and the team and see how they can help you out.

I first started following Meir through his instagram around 18 months ago as I found his analysis on geopolitics & global markets interesting & extremely insightful. I joined the beginners trading group in March 2025. Technical analysis is provided to the group by professional traders, Jorne & Pete with regular fundamental input from Meir. I can’t recommend the group highly enough - it’s taken me from someone with zero trading experience/understanding on how to place a trade to someone that is now regularly taking profits. The Dad jokes are first class too!

Very good place to get knowledge, amazing place to pick good stocks and other long term investments!
The owner is real walking encyclopaedia regarding financial market fundamentals!

Very good expert trainers and a lot of new tools and sources of information. A bit much to absorbed it all. I will need to go and study.

I joined Driving Markets over a month ago, and the results have been remarkable. Despite several years of trading experience with moderate success, I've seen more consistent profit in the past month than in the entire previous six. The depth of knowledge, personalized guidance, and comprehensive training provided by DM are simply unparalleled. I now realize my true trading potential is just emerging, thanks to their expert team covering fundamentals, crypto, and technical analysis, which has been crucial for my capital growth. While it requires an investment, it's absolutely essential for anyone serious about elevating their trading. Thank you Meir, Jesse for showing the way.

The knowledge from these guys is second to none. The 3 day workshop was brilliant can’t thank them enough for all the knowledge they’ve passed on

DrivingMarkets.com is fantastic! Their expert-led courses and real-time market insights transformed my trading skills. Meir and the team are incredibly supportive, making complex concepts easy to grasp. Highly recommend for anyone looking to master the markets
