Geppy vs. GJscalper - a duel to the death!

Background

It's no secret our new resident, GJscalper, has been causing quite a ruckus since his recent arrival to our humble forums. He has taken a particular liking to me after I posted a screenshot of my Brexit winnings the other week. GJscalper was the first to reply, and the conversation quickly escalated. This is the innocent post that resulted in his continuous trolling of me that we've all become far too accustomed to.

On July 12th, GJscalper said that he would match me with a trade explorer if I loaded one in. He said, and I quote, "put up or shut up". Well, GJscalper, I offer you The Challenge.

The Challenge - Quick Introduction

The challenge is simple. I have loaded a trade explorer with a $5,000 starting balance. I am challenging GJscalper to do the same. We will each trade our own unique styles so the community can truly see who is full of it (spoiler alert: it's not me).

The Challenge: Rules

The rules of The Challenge will be as follows:

1) Both paticipants (Geppy & GJscalper) must load a live trade explorer with a $5,000 balance.

2) Traders are expected to continue trading their respective styles: Geppy with swing trades at least a few times a week, and GJscalper will be scalping at the rate of at least ten trades a day. This is the approximate number of trades GJscalper was averaging in the only trade explorer he still has on his profile. Traders are not required to trade any one style, but traders are expected to actively trade.

3) Trade explorers, for the duration of The Challenge, must be public. That means both visible and "money and lots". If participants wish to keep pending orders, stop losses, and targets private, that's fine. But money and lots must be public along with the actual trade explorer data. If a trader deletes his trade explorer and does not make an effort to make his results public via other means (e.g. myfxbook, MT4 investor password, etc.) within 48 hours, that trader forfeits the challenge and the challenge is over.

4) Traders may not deposit more funds beyond the first $5,000 initial starting balance.

5) If one of the traders loses their account balance, The Challenge is over. The other trader declared the victor.

6) If one of the traders does not trade for an entire month, The Challenge is over. The other trader declared the victor.

7) If The Challenge lasts for at least 12 months, it will be considered a draw and can be terminated.

The Challenge - Conclusion

When the challenge is complete, assuming it does not result in a draw, there will be a winner and a loser.

A Geppy Victory

In the event of a Geppy victory, GJscalper will be required to write a public apology to Geppy and publish it on the following forum threads:

- Geppy's Geppy Thread
- Dragon Rider's Thread
- 3% per day with R:R ranging from 1:1 to 1:6 only GJ (GJscalpers thread)
- Cable Update (GBP/USD)

The apology will state, in GJscalper's own words, that Geppy is a superior trader, that he is not a fraud, scammer, or phony and never has been. He will gracefully apologize for all of his personal attacks and anything negative he has said about Geppy in the past.

A GJscalper Victory

In the even of a GJscalper victory, Geppy will be required to write a public apology to GJscalper and publish it on the forum threads of GJscalper's choosing. The apology will contain elements requested by GJscalper and this post will be amended when GJscalper communicates what he'd like those to be.

The Challenge - Goals

The main goal of The Challenge is not two fold:

1) The immediate affect of The Challenge will be any bickering between GJscalper and Geppy would be contained to a dedicated thread. This will prevent other informative and valuable threads from being overridden with garbage, personal attacks and silly feuds. For those interested in a soap opera, they can watch it here. I'm sure FF appreciates the added page views.

2) The second, longer-term, affect of The Challenge will be to completely end the feud between GJscalper and Geppy. Once a winner is determined, no more bicker is allowed.

The Challenge - Next Steps

I, Geppy, have already loaded my trade explorer and am ready to commence trading. GJscalper, please accept this challenge both verbally (via a reply to this thread) and by loading a trade explorer with a $5,000 balance. If I do not hear from you before trading begins on Sunday, I will assume you do not accept the challenge. If you do not accept, I can only assume it's because you do not wish to be outed for the losing trader that you truly are.

round 1
fight!

I reckon invert the challenge and see who can smoke the account the quickest !!!

I have a feeling this very well thought out challenge is never going to come to fruition. Just a crazy hunch.

and now we await the challenged

oooh c'mon geppy, you dont need to do that. I enjoy your insights on gbp/jpy and do not care what others say about you.

Where is my popcorn........

HAHAHA, now that'd be fun!

I wouldn't be surprised if your hunch is spot on.

Hi Geppy,

I respect your desire to challenge GJ Scalper, but the direction of these challenges is to determine who is the best analysis. If you start with $ 5,000 and GJScalper doesn't have the money this week, then you will win without playing and we the audience will be disappointed.

I propose that you both start from a small capital such as $ 500 and who first reached the $ 50,000 then he is the winner. I think this is fair and the duel will take place.

By looking at the achievements of both of you which produces 300 to 500 pips a week, then $ 500 to $ 50,000 will be achieved in a year.

GJscalper said if I loaded a trade explorer he'd match it.

It's nice you're sticking up for him, even before he has the opportunity to bow out. But I based on what he said, the money shouldn't be an issue. I don't think 5k is all that much anyway.

In my opinion, there needs to be enough on the line here to make it a solid challenge. $500 is nothing. If he can't own up to his own challenge to me ("load a trade explorer and I'll match it"), then I think it's fair to say he's the one that's clearly full of it.

Honestly, you seem like a cool and smart dude. I can't figure out why you're falling for his gimmicks. You've seen his multiple busted accounts that he's then deleted from his profile, haven't you?

Actually I and many other traders want this duel going on so we will get great results by following your open position.

Well it's all up to GJscalper. He can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk. So far he's nowhere to be seen.

And I'm not surprised.

If Gj scalper who claims geppy is not making anything off forex cant afford $5000 maybe he should afford $1000(as a succesful trader)and we shall rate the winner by percentage return........I see no reason why GjScalper wont take up the challenge against geppy(the donation beggar that can afford $5000 just for a challenge) ........Watching this in 4D😎😎

Good point, and I accept $1,000 if that's all he can afford.

But regardless, if that were the case, it should be known that he's clearly a liar. He said he'd match any amount I loaded into a trade explorer. $5k is not a huge amount, so if he can't live up to what he said he'd do already... well, that's just pathetic.

Is the dollar amount really important? Profits are relative to account/lot sizes. Percent gain is all that is important. You could do this $100 for the same outcome

Also, I'm glad you mentioned this.

This is the main reason I've closed my trade explorer in the past. It attracts a bunch of wannabe traders looking for a free ride. I'm very passionate about forex and I enjoy helping others learn how to trade successfully by thinking for themselves.

Trade explorers don't help do that. They are the equivalent of giving a man a fish rather than teaching a man how to fish.

The only purposes trade explorers really serve are 1) to brag (and honestly, nothing wrong with that in my opinion); 2) to get feedback on trades in an easy manner from other traders on FF.

GJscalper has used his to try and prove he knows what he's doing. But he consistently blows up accounts, removes the trade explorers, and starts again. It's comical.
