Lol, Jwentro.......

How are we going to get this thread more stars?

A rule, never trust a thread starter who ASKS his viewers to rate his thread.

not quite sure where you're getting at. I did ask a few members to rate it 5 stars when it first started (and i mean the first hour this thread opened) only to try to mimic the 4.5 stars shakes thread has.


I could careless about the rating of this thread now. members know its purpose.

Well well well, I have screen shots from the opening today up to now....no a good day for trading at all....folks, the confusion they created yesterday was caused by fact that they post a pic of the account balance, but that does not include unrealized profits or loses, you would need the account window for that, which shows the current balance. I have screen shots...stay tuned....incurred losses both yesterday and today...their own picture will show...stay tuned. Hint the opening current balance yesterday was 223,003 british pounds, the current balance right now is 220,166 british pounds, two day loses of 2,837 britisht pounds as of right now....they show a pic yesterday of a acct bal of 220,003, but that was not the current balance, the current balance at opening of exhibition yesterday was 223,003 b/c of the 3k profit, that cannot be verifed, of the trade prior to the exhibition that was left opened and closed after the exhibition started. Account Balance and Current Balance are not the same in this platform

Hi all,,

Well I watched an hour(later in the day) or so of the trading ...must admit I agree with Shakes when his says its boring .....

The account balance was heading south at the time I went to bed...which is in marked contast to the trading days shown on the thread....

Yes and after the first days confusion,,,,you would think he would have closed all trades before continueing a new day...before anyone arrived.

Everyone can make up there own mind....but with people attemping to be nice and not offend Shakes on his own thread...I think the Verdict may be in already...

Not sure what the head count was ..but I only saw 118 for the time i was on...not the 500..maybe they were on earlier...

final count later, current account balance lower than my last post....sometimes its better to cut your losses...

The only reason could be rising FF traffic for sponsors, there cannot be another reason unless we see he selling something any time soon...
Or probably it's because of the spread... but by now I am very confused.
Let's see what he does over next weeks.

are you kidding? lets see what he does over the next DAY, then completely blast him for lying to everyone.

And as far as i can tell, his trading method isnt "boring"

he was constantly posting trades and +10 profits prior to this exhibition.

and since he was collecting +400 pips a day thats pretty exciting and quick trading compared to most.

nevertheless, I'll give him one more day to try to make 3000 pounds back just to try to break even...


I think someone could do the same thing by flipping a coin.

Maybe could be the platform, c'mon jwentro, be patient, let profits run. (or losses?)

I will later if nobody else does, I think probably someone will show up that has screen shots and video captured also and post. Frankly, I am really getting bored now, but sure, if nobody does I will, I have opening and closing but I am not really too much into this anymore. It's just too boring now. I was gonna say that I actually feel sorry for Shakey, but then I think of all the time he made people waste, that includes us, the noobs, the mods, everyone, what a freaking waste, and nah, I wish I could, but I not sorry for the farce this live exhibtion has become, when compared to the alleged claims and the promises made. http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon8.gif And besides, I want to see what today's excuses are going to be, that way I do everything in one post. I don't want Shakey to think that we are overposting just so this thread and his are always either on top or below each other, as he has previously suggested.

Signed, sealed and delivered.

I have the video on request also (Please dont make me upload it anyone, its 11 hours or so long and probably a massive file size, but I will do it if pushed)

All I do not have is a screenshot of his initial account balance, I just read it off the start of the video I recorded. So you can post that for proof but I think the game is already up.

EDIT - I also feel sorry for him, my interest was super high when I saw the thread first (I was hoping actually learn a thing or two from him) but alas. I don't really care at all now, at least it filled an otherwise painfully slow day across the majority of the pairs I trade. But I had fun scalping the pip outta it on demo EURJPY though hehe

Hi..

yes and that is the first sign......the thread says never let winning trades turn to losing trades....and I think it also says somewhere that if it moves in the direction of his stop he exits the trade and look s for another....you will notice not many of his trades posted...hit the stop loss..


But I dont really see a need to give another day....he never posted 2 losing days on the thread from 8 hrs of trading....

So as the MythBusters would say......BUSTED

I respectfully disagree, I can say what I like anywhere I like because this is a public forum.

I assume some people in that thread do not read this thread, and I am making them aware of the truth of the matter.
