hi...

that is if he clicks the bid he will sell 200k, if he clicks the ask he will buy 200k. That is the tradeable ticker window

well just b/c it says 1 million it does not mean that he actually made the trade, that is just there to trade that amount if he clicks the bid or ask, there other ways to place orders. The number next to it is again for him to tell the ENC not to execute the order if the spread is larger than the amount stated there. He controls that amount, see the arrows pointing up and down. That is not the actual spread, that is just used to submit an order and if the spread is higher than he chose, the order is not executed.

Angler, in theory it looks easy, actually trading the theory is not.

Yeah B/E means that I am slightly more profitable than throwing a dice every trade. I just worked for the broker, but still profitable .
Let's see how the week ends, perhaps it's all true, perhaps it's not -_- ...

Sorry but didn't he start with 220k at the beginning of the week?

he started with a demo of 220000 but his trading session began with 223000. take a look at the picture i posted earlier to confirm the trade he took before the session started.


shakes actually posted this picture himself in the thread.

Well I dont know what the opening of the demo was, I do know that he started the exhibition at 223,003. No doubt about that, I will stand by that until the cows come marching home.

You and Jwentro are the biggest losers on this site. You spend hours every day obsessed with this shakes character. I don't know or care if he is trading what he claims but your pathetic jealousy and obsession makes you the biggest losers here.
