    So, come on, give us the dates on your bet. You're told us the bet is for FTSE to drop to 4500. When does this have to be called by? Very simple question. Can't answer this? Your bet is as fake as your graphs.

      That's an epic result. Does that include all your trades that are still open but currently loss making? Or do you not count those in your profit and loss?

      I mean if I can get 30x return with some consistency, I'm basically a billionaire in a very short time with compounding.

          Unfortunately I only put $14k into it, but hey $420k is not a bad result for 4 months work.

          My only loss this year is my Ether short position, which is still open. I close it now, it is a confirmed loss - you'll all see soon enough why I don't use stop losses.

            Funny that you didn't tell us about this until now (even though you only made 5 trades this year) and yet you're always telling us about a FTSE bet that you refuse to confirm any details on.

            Hmm

              That's hope and pray mentality. Every account has a built in stop loss called a margin call or you personally going bankrupt. I hope you know that.

              $420K is a very impressive amount, but you have to take the open losses into context too. They might not be closed trades, but they are ongoing losses.

                  I've lots of trades on Tradingview that are publicly available I'm not going to copy them all here. Some I'm exposed to others not, I don't like holding more than 5 positions. When your portfolio reaches a certain dollar value you' be the same.

                  Do you want the next 1000% sure thing? There's a few stand out obvious ones.

                    The leveraged short position required no collateral.

                    Nice signature.

                      Soooo you put £10k into Centrica to make £5k and crowed about that, but not when you 'make' $420k? Of course you did.
