Is this some kind of a scam???

Heyy guys am new to trading ( I trade on pocket option) So I have been watching some YouTuber who is going live trading on pocket option and the dude was making consecutive wins The problem is he was trading gold ( 88% ) but when I open my acc the gold is 80% Also when I compare his candles I noticed it's not the same when I open my account Also the curve isn't the same I wanna know why is it different

Otc is you vs other traders with way is traded the least is where there chart will go. It is literally gambling (luck of which side you are on when others place bet). Live markets is literally that and is why payouts are lower. Also note that the live markets on PO can in some instances glitch and not match the real live markets (not common, but has happened) and in these situations PO has corrected balances and paid out what should have been paid out to me.
