    Is there any probabilistic analysis you can name that is not an analysis of a stochastic process? Throwing a dice for example - how you describe the results of this process without probability theory?
    The words "analysis" and "process" and "variable" have meanings beyond your comprehension, scootie. This is self-evident from the way you conflate them.

      He isn't being honest with his dates and numbers so it's all bull. Just like the 3000% profit he claimed earlier.

      He was very open and pleased with himself about the £10k (now he's claiming £25k) on Centrica and 50% profit, yet he never mentioned until today this $420k profit .... that's not how Scooty works.

      Same with this FTSE bet he has - if it was real he would state him put date but every time he's asked he deflects and changes the topic. It's not a real trade - it's either on his spreadsheet only, or as you say on a trading game site.

        There does seem to be a lot of rubbish posted on this thread. Like I've said I don't believe there is any useful knowledge, ideas or anything to be gained, it's a little like this to me.

          It's just for the LOLZ at pooper's expense.

                    Yep, very hard to tell what is real.

                    He seems a bit unhinged but maybe that's just his online persona.
                    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

                      But if someone makes a 42% profit on gold within a stretch when it triples in value, he freaks out.
