What is stopping you to try the live account? I would have gone for it ages ago if I had that knowledge.

Kodiak answered the question a while ago.

Hi @u0362565 , I was looking into how the DFB value is exactly calculated and landed on this link:
Looking at the current spread for the UK index:
FTSE 100 : 2
FTSE 100 Futures : 4
The nightly DFB amount would be close to the initial size per point being a bit cheaper of that would cost initially.
Looking at the spread, that is about the double in this market, you would be able to hold a position in the cash market for about 3-4 days in order to match what would cost to bet in the futures markets.
Betting on the futures market is not really free until you reach those number of days. After that your bet would be cheaper with the downside of an ending date. Now, the question is what would happen when we reach the end date. Does the bet carry on the next future market or does it get closed?

haha, seriously, 4 strawman points made in a half mocking tone is the best you can do ffs.
soooo, not actually able to challenge any of the govt, nhs or who data presented in the thread that paints a very different picture from the one hand feed to you by the BBC.
it's not uncommon to see peeps who claim to be data centric happy to simply ignore it when it doesn't suit their own bias/prejudice.
I am going to let you continue with your research based on memes. Don't mind me.

The manner in which I expressed myself was influenced by the third last paragraph of this review. But I was referring to a how a writer on “Insight Therapy” may have unnecessarily alienated some readers while writing about cult-like thinking.

ok, we don't have a name for the theory, that's a shame. Every great theory should have a name so people can remember it.
I don't want to spam Casey's scientific research on this thread so I am just going to leave here this link in case people want to follow someone educated on the subject.

We should go back to the main topic of this thread:
- How governments are playing us into a non-existent pandemic by forcing us to wear a 1£ mask. How they cook charts and colorful graphs to show us a non-existent danger.
- How corporations are using this pandemic to initiate the "great reset". The moment that will set us into darkness under their evil control.
- How 5g can be used to control us by injecting us a vaccine with nanobots that will leave Bill Gates at the top of our human kind.
Not that I agree with any of the points but there they are. We should stick to them.

This may not be on topic, but I am addressing an article that has been linked here.
“Finally, like religions, conspiracy theories are, at the core, about community, manifesting our most fundamental tribal impulse—the psychological need to belong, to be part of a well-defined in-group and, by extension, to recognize and fight enemy out-groups. Like religions, conspiracy theories are group phenomena, shared by communication rituals that help adherents manage emotions by, “transforming unspecific anxieties into focused fears.” As in religion, successful (enduring) conspiracy theories produce narratives that are “framed as conflicts over sacred values.” With religion, the false God is never our God. With the conspiracy theory, the menacing shadowy group is never our group. Conspiracy theories are always about ‘the other.’ As psychologist Jan-Willem van Prooijen notes: “the root of conspiracy thinking lies in our ancient instinct to divide the social world into ‘Us’ and ‘Them’ categories.” The same psychological processes that produce God for 'us,' produce conspiracy theories about 'them.'”
I have a theory that people who confidently write about “the core” of religions reveal more about themselves than religion. It is a bit like a Rorschach Test.
How do you call that theory, does it have a name we can refer to?
-
It wasn't for you, I know you are not going to read it. It was for everyone else that reads this post so they can understand the psychology behind conspiracy theories.
It is worth knowing what is behind the mind of someone that claims to have some kind of "special" information that no one sees.

oh right, so you're saying the video of Fauci saying that testing using more than 35 cycles gives mostly false positives when both the US and the UK are using 40 cycles is faked, and that the video of Fauci saying masks are not effective in stopping viral transmission is also faked?
you know I don't think they are.
That article is not about Fauci, there is more land outside the United States.

yes, and also I don't have any activity to show on my profile.
I checked a few or the regulars and it seems that they have wiped out everyone. Your profile seems to have some content, they like you
Well, I am glad that I kept my notes on my local hard drive.

@jlz Good going! Demo accounts are a perfect way to test trading strategies! We use them to test algorithms of which would then generally be linked to automated trade systems. We are also developing and testing A.I. and quantum systems.
👍
It's me who has to apologise because I set up those amounts just by clicking on the "add funds" button, since they are a rounded number I thought the joke was going to be pretty easily spotted. But looking at your answer you really thought that I made 20 million with my demo account, sorry not even close.
What I can tell is that your account is made out of trades, because you can't add funds to the demo account on top of 10 million (which is what I did). And that is really impressive. It is that impressive that I started looking at the Oil market (picking from your words) to see if I could understand something there.
I do have a good performance with my live account but it is nowhere near those numbers, it is way more modest.

Amazing, look at mine!
Just made it to have 20 million.
I deserve 2nd place at least.

Surely someone knows whether there is a Demo Account Record Holder???
Surely some of you use the demo accounts to test strategies?
None of you back test algos on Quantopian and test the strategies on your demo accounts before using your own funds?
Ok..... I'll go first! So my demo spread trade account and my CFD account combined are now worth 215 Million! Started 6 years ago with 10k...
I admit i am an ex-institutional trader hailing from JP Morgan (Finsbury Dials) Specializing in commodities....
Does anyone have demo account figures that exceed my own?
Best regards
Would you share a record of your trades with that demo account?
Words don´t mean much if they are not backed up with data.It is impressive that you reached 215 million. I am ready to bow down and kneel to you, but I need some kind of a prove that you are not just another bored big-mouthy trader. We have many of them already.

Good paper, the other day I came across this link that is worth sharing as well.
https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/html/digitaleuro.en.html
The digital currency should be real in about two years counting from 2021. Bahamas has just released their digital currency to their citizens and they can now operate with it. China is also testing their digital yuan in Shenzhen so I see it being live in a few months as well.
One point that I think is blocked is that I don't see a public bank being created anytime soon. Many European countries have been asking for a public finance sector that could remedy those sanctions coming from economic powers and nothing has been done. I don't hold hope for a public bank in Europe, maybe the digital currency will remedy some of the aspects but that will be it.

I see it now. Great script, but I think you'll find most people will want to be using it to block you for being a confrontational hot-head that's too quick to respond with a put down than add value to this community.
var users = ['jlz'];They are free to use it that way if they wish so, No problem.
You are the one that is calling others hot-head.

I DO know a "bit" about Javascript. And it's entirely possible for an extension to log keystrokes, and mouse movements (look at services like Hotjar & CrazyEgg & Grammarly that have built entire businesses around Javascript doing this on people's websites/browsers). It's also possible for a script to trigger both keystrokes and clicks on your behalf too.
And while a script might not currently do it, extensions and remote scripts can change/"update" at anytime (and web browsers don't even alert you of the updates (or the changes in them)). Even if the code is open-source on GitHub - it's often the case that it's not downloaded from there and the version in the Extension/PlayStore may have had modifications/additions done to it (legitimately [usage tracking] or illegitimately [keytracking/session scrapping]).
If you don't entirely trust the developer/business who created a browser extension - don't install it.If you know about Javascript just review the code and you will see that is completely harmless.
If you see any danger on it you have seen too many hacker movies.
Someone that does know about Javascript does not write a post like you do, they simply check the code and know what is doing.

This is how I see the forum
Those insults that are coming my way are hidden. I don't see them at all.

this probably should have been ignored....
That is why I wrote the Javascript script I posted the other day. I don't see his posts. I went to look for the post just to see the insults and, yes, they are quite low, even for him.
This forum doesn't have the option to ignore a user completely. On other forums when you ignore a user that person dissapears but on this one you still see the user unfortunately. They can tag you and make you read their nonsense.
The main reason why he is insulting me is because I exposed him. I exposed his b*llshit so clearly that he can't cover it up. As a result he is only not insulting me but everyone around.
It is just a waste of time, don't worry at all. I don't see the point of replying to him at all.

Martingalers at it again, what could go wrong?
Listen to HMB and THT, their words are coming from experience.

More than 10M users hacked! All of them by me!
I never thought this thing was going to turn that funny

I wonder if an extension can monitor you keystrokes while you're trading? Scary stuff guys
Anyone that knows a little bit of JavaScript can see that the script is just going through the DOM images and hides the section that are included into.
"keystrokes" "hacking"
You are funny after all.
