Is baiting Scooty the new thing to do? I thought that was like bullying. Pretend to be interested but you're not really. You are just laughing at him inside. Very mean... Now hurry up. I want a go.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

Is it bullying when he keeps setting himself up for ridicule? A few of us have offered him help too but he throws it back at us; he's just a dangerous troll who is trying to goad people to make lots of trades and lose money. Anyone who engages with him needs to be very cautious and be careful not to be led by his 'advice'.Last edited by Whorty; 11 November 2020, 08:37.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

For someone who claims to only trade 3-5 times a year, what do you think?Originally posted by Paralytic View PostWas this a real trade or another fantasy trade?
It's his way to try and goad others to make real trades, whilst he places pretend trades with zero risk of losing money.
If peeps on here have done their own research, and are making trades off their own bat and are happy with them then go ahead, but please do not play his game as he wants you to lose so he can celebrate in your loses.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

Just checking, as I can see where this would go:Originally posted by scooterscot View PostDon't care if you believe it or not, it's getting boring now.

Price goes up - "It was a real trade, I'm a trading god etc etc"
Price goes down - "It wasn't a real trade - that was obvious, I posted it to the 'imaginary trades' thread for fun"Comment

The trade also isn't for the $6k he said he'd invested ... so, take it all with a pinch of salt. I'm guessing with the trading platform games it's easy to mock up a fake trade.Originally posted by Paralytic View PostJust checking, as I can see where this would go:

Yes, its noted he didn't actually answer the question - just pasted an ambiguous screenshot that could be explained in different ways in future.
