SvN, can you edit the spreadsheet so the 60% is divisible by one less please? Thanks.

I thought Magic liked to tell us he earned decent money? Asking for £130 back.
I've not asked for anything back you cunts.
Unless I've grossly misunderstood the last few posts that isn't why you'll be getting it back.
Bounced out for being cheeky.
Imagine when he does that to someone when the pot's at eleventy billlion.
Mellin's trajectory is basically:
1. Set the thing up.
2. Quit job.
3. Become a bitter money tyrant because this now is his job.
4. MILD PROFIT WHICH IS OKAY BUT NOT WHAT HE HAD IN MIND WHEN HE STARTED THIS THING.
Mellin, please confirm when Magic is officially out.
Exclusive footage of the payout:
Is Shindig in? Kick him out too.
Boydy loves a good purge.
Anybody who speaks Mellin’s name out of turn is an enemy of the people. Eliminate them all.
Alright, Comrade. It's lucky there's not a nation strapped for cash at the moment with a history of state-sponsored hacking.
It'll be hilarious if Mellin loses it all and Magic ends up the only one to make a profit.
I'd missed the fact that he's not simply returning his original stake.
Awful scenes and a complete disgrace to the integrity of the board.
When do you go full time Mellin?
I've blown it. Sorry boys. Did so on Friday evening. Was high on emotion at the time, and didn't want to post when my nerves were frayed, so I've taken the weekend, had a few beers, and I'm gonna lay it all out, get all the detail in, and then you can call me a cunt.
What killed us was I was hoping for a bounce on the Nasdaq. Not a reversal, but a move of a couple of hundred pips. Pretty standard behaviour in a downtrend and called fading the move. However, I tried to force this and got in too heavy too early (using combination of standard trade and options = increased leverage) in a position I normally wouldn't. Did this as had convinced myself it was going to go and was trying to force my way in. This is called FOMO and being a twat.
So basically I was punished when the market reversed quickly and put us 50% down, then held simply because I was too far in the red and hoping for a couple of grand back, but the market continued to move against us, added to options losing value on time as well as movement, was a recipe for complete fucking disaster. We needed to take substantial risk to build the account enough for everyone to make good profit, and these risks need to be taken to multiply an account so many times, BUT it's about well timed risk and on Friday it was poorly timed and I ended up boxing us in with fuck all room for manoeuvre. Sorry boys.
So the progress that we made. Essentially we got 1/6th of the way to target. Not financially, but with compounding and the way we were building the account. Obviously this means fuck all now, but I am going again with that considered, but will go alone this time (not assuming for one second anyone would want to invest more money, but I wouldn't accept even if they were to offer). There is 100% categorically a negative influence on decision making essentially having an audience. On Friday I felt a bit of that, feeling I needed to move the account along as we'd stagnated. Sits with me, but it was a factor. Moving forward, I'm definitely having both a bigger slow build account and smaller aggressive fuck yeah account, because this has been a bit of an eye opener as to what is achievable in a short amount of time, whilst spending limited hours at the screen. Just a bit less aggressive I'm telling you this because...
I take losing other people's money seriously, so I'm going to throw in some compensation 'guarantees' if I manage to make it stick, as everyone had the faith/FOMO/stupidity to throw £25-£100 in and I want to return something for that. This is the main thing I've been weighing up over the weekend and needs to be fair to both me and yourselves, as it will now be coming from my pocket (I know, I know), but if I get in a strong position I'm happy to share some as a show of good will. What we're going with is...if I make a mil at any stage in my life through trading I will send you all £250 - £1,000 depending on your stake. If I make 5 mil at any stage in my life through trading I will send you all £1,250 - £5,000 depending on your stake and if I make 10 mil at any stage in my life through trading I will send you £2,500 - £10,000 depending on your stake. It's not one or the other. It's all 3 as I move through the gears. So if you put £100 in you can still make £16k top end. This includes Magic, as even though he was being an arse, he's lost just like everyone else. My word is my bond, this will happen if I get there.
So once everyone's said their piece () I'll let this thread die. The lads in the group will be kept up to date like we usually do and if anything silly starts to happen I'll throw an update in here or the Stocks & Shares thread. And obviously screenshots are available where possible to show I haven't just fucked off with the money. I'll put some together when I get more time.
Sorry again. I mean what I say about the compo. Have give it some serious thought. But if I never make it we're all shit out of luck. Cheers.
Fair play Magic.
Magic didn't get anything.
I guess I better withdraw the offer on the new house.
£100 each would have led to a cracking meet in some shithole in the midlands or even just a great football betting syndicate ride. Shame on you all.
Mellin's posting that from a beach in Tahiti of course, the sly dog.
Give my 'compo' to a local charity that helps trigger happy brummie cunts.
Are you actually going to quit your job still? Or is this a wake up call?
I'm just glad members of THE GROUP had their investment ring-fenced.
It would've been funnier if Magic had got his £30 profit out of it before it went tits up, but then again Magic losing money is always funny.
Win-win from my POV.
Edit: never mind
So wait, Magic got his money out for being a dick after Mellin had already bombed it?
Incredible.
Tragic is lying.
I'm not, Smellin through his childish toys out of his unemployed bovid pram and transferred me it on Saturday. I was fucking seething at the time.
For the next thread I propose we all give Jim £100 and ride or die at the mercy of the computer.
This thread has been a cracking read. I'd have lumped in if I spotted it sooner so if you change your mind and give it another go, do give me a heads up, Mellin. I got a few 000's I'd be willing to risk.
Ah well. Hard lines Mell. You've not bankrupt anybody mate, don't beat yourself up.
How the hell are we supposed to get rich quick now?
I’m £662 up using my bot.
I'm a twit
I’m down with it though!
This thread isn't dying. It's winding up in the archive along with the Covid thread.
