Sorry must have missed that.

Yeah i was simply surprised IG was offering CFDs on US equities. Their rates are ok~, but the GSL prem is very expensive.
I prefer interactive brokers, but still, IG has its uses.

My wife & I registered to sincerely thank everyone who has spent time contributing to this thread and helping others. We don't want to pass judgement because we haven't experienced the courses first hand but personally, after reading this thread it has really helped us both understand what's being provided before diving in head first..so thank you.
We were contemplating booking for some of the courses offered but this forum has presented some very interesting information. After further research we have realized this is not for us. We also saw that the Spectrum Live address was the exact same as the Trading Pursuits address (Level 7, 299 Sussex Street, SYDNEY NSW 2000), so it seems that some of the earlier posts were valid. We thank you all for your genuine assistance.

Thank you to all of you who have contacted me privately and have shown your support.

I hope you all took note of my bullish stance on AAPL. I made my position very clear before the current bull run.

Just in case I get banned again, you all know how to contact me privately.

Actually over the last 3 months Apple moved the same direction as the S&P 56% of the time.

In any case a contingent buy on the SPY would have been useless as the magnitude of the Apple move will dwarf the SPY move, plus the SPY will have other factors affecting it far more than apple results. Eg Econ figures, Asian markets.
If apple had gapped the other way, it would have made the S&P 1 maybe 2pts lower. No hedge either way.

As for your new trade, its pretty unclear to me what you're doing. So far, I know you've sold 2x Apple $450 calls for $1.75 each. What was the price of apple when you did this? Where was your cfd's stop? Otherwise its too hard to see which trade is which with the P/L from one trade rolling into the next.

Care to comment Alvin?

There is an easy way not to get banned at ASF. Simply substantiate any non-transparent claims of profit if asked.

I believe those in the business of eduction, charging fees for education and recommendations, have made their money off you before you even start the course!

There is lots of free information on the internet which you can learn from for free. You should also be able to get quality service and advice without paying huge lump sums of money.

 

[Alvin Purple]

Re: Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - Serious or Scam?

Correct.

Free advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Re: Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - Serious or Scam?

I attended an online session with Charles Cottle some years back.

It was free.

It was also priceless.

Now I'd like to see the Kertcher shill bag out Charles

I wonder why all of these people who contacted you privately to show support haven't done so on this forum. Silence all the critics by showing your authenticated returns using Kertcher's system.

Re: Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - Serious or Scam?

For what it's worth Alvin, I (and probably a lot of other people) don't believe that you're somehow working for Daniel or have any vested interest in promoting him. I could be wrong but either way it's irrelevant to me.

I do hope you keep posting your progress for long enough so that we can see the true returns over a long enough period of time. The problem with strategies such as this is that you can get away with making money month after month for a long period of time but that one bad (or string of) bad trades that go horribly wrong (which over a long enough period of time is almost a certainty) can wipe out months, if not years of gains, taking you all the way back to square one and the only people that have profited in the end are the brokers.

I personally don't blame you for not submitting your broker statements but without proof, you're probably doing Daniels reputation more harm than good on this forum.

(anything less than 3 years worth of proof is probably irrelevant anyway considering the return on risk for this strategy)

Good luck, I do hope it goes well for you.

Why? This forum has a long standing understanding by ALL participants that if its not substantiated then its clearly BS. Its all very easy to be heroes on the internet. I have put up statements for 100s of trades, even given mods access to some of my accounts to check rather than doubting about doctored statements.

Its very simple and very powerful way to show who is full of **** or who is the real deal.

There would be very few who share this view. I'll run backwards from Brissy to if he is not connected in some way... or indeed Kertcher himself.

Exactly. I think it's pretty clear to most people who read this thread who is full of ****.

Actually TH I take that back. I've just gone back to Alvin's original posts which started on page 6 (post 112)...

For whatever reason I honestly thought I read that Alvin was only new to this strategy (by a few months) but I must have got this thread mixed up with another one of a similar theme...I was reading these types of threads when I first came across ASF just for sheer entertainment.

Alvin actually makes some very specific claims of using Daniels strategy for 3 years with returns of over 30%+ per annum.

I can now look back on three years of successful trading. There has not been a month where I have made a loss and the average return has been in the vicinity of 30% + *p.a. which I personally find very satisfactory.
I am happy to recommend Daniel's course. And please, follow the rules. (I am not a licensed financial advisor)

I can now understand the tone that long standing members have set regarding Alvin and his claims and I apolgise for jumping in without paying attention to the details of "Alvins" initial claims.

Members have every right to expect that such claims are backed up by proof.

I will read future threads more carefully before jumping in.

Re: Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - Serious or Scam?

I am fully aware that this may be my last post ever on this forum. I can live with that.

The reason many posters who have contacted me privately and shown their support, but have not come out openly on this forum is that they are afraid of being banned. It is as simple as that.

This thread was supposed to be about Daniel Kertcher; it now has become clearly about me. However, being Alvin Purple I am very used to attract attention - always have, always will.

The reasonable person test clearly states that credibility can only be achieved by nominating the trades before they are placed. I have done exactly that. On many occasions I have stated the entry price, the strike price and the option premium before I placed the trades. Unfortunately, (and I may well get into trouble for saying that) the moderators and administrators of this forum have, for reasons that are not at all clear to me, removed those posts soon after I posted them.

Some of you have seen those posts before they were removed and have told me so privately. You have also seen that all those trades turned out to be profitable, some more than others. All of you would be aware of my recent trades in AAPL, and I am sure that everyone can see just how profitable these turned out.

If some of you also made money on AAPL lately, then I'm a happy chappy.

Bye for now (maybe forever)

When there is an expensive course on offer and one poster claims specific and high returns, it is not unreasonable that other posters request verification of those claims done discreetly via admin. If you don't want to verify your percentage returns, then don't make the claims... simple huh?

The one clear trade you provided turned out to be nothing but a GAMBLE. Crank up the leverage and buy apple right before earnings, "DELAY" selling calls till after the announcement.

If I want coinflips I'll go to starcity. At least I won't get taxed on my winnings and there's a cheap delicious lunch buffet
