Quick Summary
NSE has issued a caution notice against a person named Ravi Singh, who claims association with an entity called “Trade Future.” The operation runs across a YouTube channel, an Instagram page, two separate Telegram presences, and a website, tradefuturefx.com. NSE confirms none of it is registered, and a police complaint has already been lodged. “Trade Future” isn’t a new name either, we’d flagged it on this site before this notice ever existed.
Somewhere, a viewer is watching “Trade with Ravi” on YouTube right now, convinced they’ve found a genuine trading mentor.
A few scrolls away, someone else just followed the same person’s Instagram page, never realising it connects to the same operation.
That’s the trick behind NSE’s newest caution notice, dated September 23, 2026, naming a person called Ravi Singh, tied to an entity called Trade Future.
Ravi Singh’s Trade Future Runs Across Five Platforms
NSE’s notice names Ravi Singh directly, alongside the entity he claims association with, “Trade Future.”
Spread across a YouTube channel called “Trade with Ravi,” an Instagram page, a Telegram channel, a separate Telegram user ID, and a website, tradefuturefx.com, it’s really just one operation wearing five faces.
NSE describes what’s actually being offered underneath all of it: securities market tips, guaranteed returns, account handling, and dabba trading.
Why Trade Future Spread Across YouTube, Instagram and Telegram?
There’s a reason operations like this rarely stick to a single channel.
A YouTube video gets taken down; the Instagram page keeps running. A Telegram group gets reported, the website stays live.
Each platform also pulls in a different kind of audience: video watchers, scroll-happy Instagram users, group-chat regulars, so the reach ends up far wider than any single channel could manage alone.
A Name We’d Already Been Watching
Before this notice ever existed, “Trade Future” had already crossed our radar.
We’d looked into is Trade Future app SEBI registered, and the answer, even then, was no.
That earlier digging turned into a full Trade Future app review after complaints about the platform kept surfacing on their own.
What NSE has done now is take that same concern and put an actual name on it: Ravi Singh, backed by a formal notice and a police complaint.
SCRA and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Penalties for Trade Future
NSE confirms plainly that a police complaint has already been lodged against Ravi Singh and Trade Future.
The legal exposure spelled out in the notice is specific.
Under Section 23(1) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, contravening Sections 13, 16, 17, or 19 can mean imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to ₹25 crore, or both.
Under Section 25, this is also a cognizable offence, meaning state police can investigate directly, without waiting for SEBI or NSE to act first.
The notice further cites Sections 316, 318, and 61 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, covering criminal breach of trust, cheating, and criminal conspiracy.
How to Report Ravi Singh and Trade Future to SEBI?
If you’ve registered, paid, or shared details with Trade Future through any of its five platforms, the first move is simple: save everything.
Screenshots, payment receipts, chat history, and any account statements all become harder to gather the longer you wait.
From there, the path depends on exactly what happened to you.
Neither Ravi Singh nor Trade Future carries any registration, so SEBI’s SCORES portal has no regulated entity to route your complaint toward; that system only works for entities SEBI already licenses.
Instead, file a complaint with SEBI directly by email, naming the operator so it’s formally on record, even without a SCORES case number attached.
If money has actually left your account, report it to the National Cyber Crime Helpline at 1930, or file directly at cybercrime.gov.in, since speed matters most when a bank account still needs to be traced or frozen.
A local police complaint is worth filing too, separate from the cybercrime portal, since one is already active against this operator and yours can be linked to it.
How to Spot a Dabba Trading Operation Like Trade Future?
Operations like this rely on you only ever seeing one piece of them at a time, never the whole picture.
A few habits close that gap:
- Check any brand’s name across platforms, not just the one where you found it, since the same name on YouTube, Instagram, and Telegram all at once is a growth tactic, not a sign of scale.
- Search before you follow. A quick search would have surfaced concerns about Trade Future long before this NSE notice ever existed.
- Treat “account handling” as an instant red flag. No genuine research service needs your login credentials to share tips or analysis.
- Verify registration directly, using NSE’s own broker-lookup tool, before trusting any name with your money.
Conclusion
This notice does something most don’t: it puts a real name behind a pattern that was already visible if you knew where to look.
Trade Future wasn’t hiding, exactly; it was simply spread thin enough across five platforms that no single warning could catch all of it at once.
NSE has now done that, and attached a name, a police complaint, and real jail time to it.
Report. Recover. Stay Fraud Free.
He's an individual claiming association with "Trade Future," running dabba trading services across a YouTube channel, an Instagram page, two Telegram presences, and a website. Yes. Its registration status had already been examined and its risks documented before this official notice existed. No. NSE's notice confirms neither Ravi Singh nor Trade Future is registered as a member or Authorised Person. Up to 10 years imprisonment and a fine of up to ₹25 crore under the SCRA, alongside criminal breach of trust, cheating, and criminal conspiracy charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Save your evidence, email SEBI to flag the unregistered operator, report to the 1930 cybercrime helpline if money has moved, and file a police complaint alongside the one already active. No. Trade Future doesn't run through any registered broker, so this goes through SEBI's unregistered-entity process, not a broker complaint.Frequently Asked Questions
